Sabeer Bhatia, the co-founder of Hotmail, has re-launched Arzoo.com, a one-stop travel shop with vision ‘to be your preferred travel partner for India’.

The company says it serves different segments such as families planning vacations, business travelers and individuals, and it will offer customers the ability to book domestic and international flights, make hotel reservations, buy domestic and international vacation packages, find weekend gateways and service apartments, with the last two options only at Arzoo.com.

In near future, Arzoo will launch its US-to-India operations to serve customers in the US.

“Online Travel in India is expected to grow 10-fold over the next 5 years and we believe that this represents a great opportunity for us. The need of the hour is therefore to provide customers with a one-stop travel shop that gives them a wide range of options to choose from and a world class service.” said Sabeer Bhatia, president and chief executive officer, Arzoo.com.

The company says the unique value proposition is that customers have a choice of multiple ways of making travel reservations via its website, mobile phones or by calling the toll free number. In India, Arzoo ensures delivery of paper tickets and hotel vouchers at customer’s door step.

Arzoo also specialises in handling regular travel requirements of corporate customers, including group bookings.
