Hong Kong’s First Business Travel Mobile App Launched by TravelSky

China TravelSky Holding Company today announced the launch of CozyGo, Hong Kong’s first business travel management mobile app. Tapping into cross-border corporate travel demand, especially among SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), the app – unlike anything currently in the market –  provides efficient business-ready travel service based on corporate travel policies. 

In one of its first forays into international markets, TravelSky decided to launch a Traditional Chinese version of CozyGo in Hong Kong. The business travel management mobile application is designed to enhance the efficiency of the business travel booking process, and the autonomy of the traveler to manage his/her own booking and approval process within just a few clicks, without the need to spend extra time on internal communications for approval of the trip.

Until now, full integration with users’ corporate travel policies and complete Traditional Chinese functionality have not been available together in one app in Hong Kong. Users of TravelSky partner companies will be able to use CozyGo for flight searching and booking, trip management, and order approval functions. It also stores frequent flyers’ information to provide convenience for repeated bookings.

Business travel demand is strong and Hong Kong’s large SME sector in particular is known for frequent cross-border business travel. According to TravelSky, bookings with Chinese commercial airlines increased by almost 12% from around 449 million in 2015 to around 502 million in 2016. And in the first two months in 2017, domestic flight bookings with Chinese commercial airlines recorded a YOY increase of nearly 14%, to around 75 million.

Mr. Peng Bo, General Manager of GDS (Global Distribution System) Business Unit, TravelSky Technology Limited said, “As a leading provider of information technology solutions for China’s aviation and travel industry, we are excited about extending our technology to Hong Kong. CozyGo is our flagship product for travel management companies in China, which achieved 120,000 downloads in 2016. We aim to capitalize on Hong Kong’s high-potential market to capture market share in the corporate travel sector here. Today’s launch aligns with our vision to become a world-class company, internationally competitive and stable in the Chinese market.”
