Make ‘revenge travel’ easy with first-ever PH-owned booking app

The pandemic disrupted life and plans. There was “lost time,” as millennials and generation Z would describe it. It was time away from friends and family, away from different pursuits, most especially everyone's favorite — traveling. But as Covid-19 restrictions significantly eased, travel, once highly restrictive and prohibitive, has become possible again.

Happy Hotels offers easy, accessible, and packed information about Philippine destinations.

If there's anything better than traveling again, it's the build-up. Daydreaming of the perfect destination, scrolling through unique places to stay, and browsing travel guides for the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants and local must-sees are all opportunities to start the wanderlust before you've even packed your bags.

But when does the journey begin? While planning may sometimes be overwhelming — mapping out nitty gritty flights, connections, accommodations and many pit stops. But, for today's travelers, expectations are always set by non-travel experiences. They want flexible solutions with a simple click experience.

Local and foreign tourists are in for a treat as the first-ever Filipino-owned booking app is set to launch this year to help travelers easily explore the Philippines. Happy Hotels offers easy, accessible, and packed information about your favorite local destinations. They have teamed up with the best, budget-friendly, and most accessible hotels nationwide. Its features include but are not limited to comparing prices, finding hotels with your specific requirements, determining the best accommodation through the app's rating and review system, and different activities you can do in your favorite destinations.

What's even more exciting is that the app empowers local hotel owners to showcase what real “Filipino hospitality” is and simultaneously gives opportunities to local workers and communities. Happy Hotels is named so in the hopes of instantaneously delivering a wide range of choices from hotels, resorts, restaurants and destinations. Ultimate that should make everyone happy, right?
