(CAPA) kulula.com launched two new business ventures on 04-Oct-07 - a first of its kind online Travel Portal and the newest addition to its new fleet of B737-400s.
kulula.com’s Travel Portal will be an enhanced website for the airline offering a comprehensive, real time gateway to domestic and regional travel and tourism. This will enable travellers to source and book all aspects of their holidays and business trips through one website. The Travel Portal will offer flights, car rental, hotel accommodation and travel packages. Further enhancements will include customer reviews, travel tips, community forums and community travel bloggs. Travellers will also be able to download information on holiday areas and leisure activities available in those regions.
The airline’s joint CEO, Gidon Novick says, “Very few South Africans have had the opportunity to explore our beautiful country and the Travel Portal will bring this within reach in the kulula.com style of affordability, simplicity, and ease.”
The airline has spent the last two years developing the Portal and has invested almost USD580,000 in the venture.
Currently kulula.com generates over USD144.6 million in annual online sales making it Africa’s biggest online retailer. The airline anticipates this figure to increase substantially with the new web site.
Meanwhile, the airline also unveiled its new B737-400 aircraft. The aircraft is one of kulula.com’s ten planned new aircraft purchased as part of an aggressive drive to replace all its old MD82s by the end of this year.
