Bangkok - October 12, 2010 - RateGain expands its
reach beyond its traditional customer
markets such as US & Europe and establishes its operations in
Thailand. Since
its inception in 2004, RateGain has been focusing extensively on the
hotel and
travel companies in US and European regions. South East Asia has always
been a
major tourist destination and with the emergence & adoption of web
technologies, there is an increase in demand for web-based solutions in
the
online hotel industry. Presently this region is a hub of more than 2500+ up market and chain hotels. It’s mainly due to the continuous requests received for products like channel management and market intelligence solution from hotels in this region, RateGain chose Thailand as the base of its first overseas operations in South East Asia. Although being a global company, RateGain truly believes in the concept of “Glocal” i.e. Global yet Local.

He has an important contributing role to play in bridging the gap and ensure that RateGain becomes a household brand name in Thai Hotel Industry”. Setting up its operation in Thailand is the first step of entering in the South East Asian market by RateGain. The company plans to expand its reach in other prominent countries that are major tourist destinations.
