HotelTravel.com offers 'Better Value' for Chinese New Year

Jan. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Leading online hotel specialist HotelTravel.com is welcoming the Year of the Ox 2009 with a bang, offering better value and special hotel deals in leading travel destinations around Asia.

Chinese New Year kicks off on 26 January this year and is usually celebrated for five days with firecrackers and rituals to prepare for a prosperous coming year. As the second animal in the Chinese Zodiac, the Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work.  According to the Chinese Horoscope, 2009 will be a year of the ‘Earth Ox’, and as a stoic and quiet figure the Ox prefers stability that will bring an end to tough economic times.

To promote regional festivities, HotelTravel.com has highlighted special rates available from partner hotels at terrific destinations in Asia.

HotelTravel.com’s Director Strategic Business Development, Mr William P Main, said he expected Thailand would again prove popular during the Chinese New Year in 2009.

“We are seeing resurgent demand for Asian destinations during the current high season, especially hotels in Thailand, as there are some great value-for-money hotels available during the Chinese New Year. Outstanding bargains are available not only in China, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur but also in the beautiful resort destinations of Phuket and Langkawi.
