Webjet’s purchase of JacTravel and Totalstay.com in August, has made additional inventory available for sale to South African travel agents under the Totalstay brand. This is because the merger has made all the inventory available across the different brands. Webjet’s B2B division, WebBeds, now consists of JacTravel, Totalstay.com, Sunhotels, Lots of Hotels and FIT Ruums. As a result WebBed’s global portfolio has increased to over 225 000 hotels around the world, making it one of the largest B2B travel providers on the planet. This inventory is all available to SA agents through Totalstay. Totalstay ranks as one of the biggest B2B accommodation providers in South Africa, and is both a registered Asata and Satsa wholesaler. Regional head of sales for Africa at Totalstay, Philippa Chesler, said: “One thing that we have been focused on achieving is ensuring that our customers can start to benefit from our increased product portfolio, stronger availability and better rates. And this is already happening.”
