BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC) signed a MoU on Tuesday, naming hotel chain OYO Rooms as its official hospitality partner for the Men’s Hockey World Cup in the city in November this year.
As part of the agreement, OYO will increase the inventory of rooms on its platform and endeavour to take on board the hotels and home stays in Odisha to accommodate enhanced demand during the tournament. It will also set up a help desk at transit places such as airport, railway station and bus terminals five days prior and during the sporting event.
Whereas, OTDC will promote the accommodation services offered by OYO among its guests through website integration and other means.
“With Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup Bhubaneswar 2018 just a few months away, we expect to have a massive footfall of visitors. This agreement will help enhance the guest experience,” said Vishal Dev, Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Tourism Sports and Youth Services Department.
