Improved Mobile Access and Enhanced Site Features Offer Added Ease and Convenience When Booking Cheap Hotels in Singapore

(TRAVPR.COM) SINGAPORE - June 17th, 2015 - Industry-leading online hotel search guide BudgetHotels.sg recently refreshed their website with a new look, features and content to provide budget-minded visitors with a more user-friendly, intuitive way to book inexpensive lodging in Singapore – and learn more about this intriguing island city-state.

Designed to maximize mobile access and optimized for faster loading time, the revamped site allows users to sort the wide variety of one- to four-star hotels by districts/areas in Singapore or by the following five nightly price ranges:

·       Less than $50

·       $50 - $79

·       $80 - $119

·       $120 - $149

·       More than $150

Detailed descriptions of all featured properties include large images; hotel facilities, room amenities and location (including a map); and contact information. In addition, hotels’ proximities to MRT stations are now indicated in terms of walking duration.

Maximizing the website’s mobile responsiveness was a strategic business decision based on recent findings in the hospitality industry.  According to Criteo’s 2014 Travel Flash Report released last September, travel bookings via mobile devices soared by more than 20 percent in the first six months of the year, and are growing much more rapidly than those booked on desktop computers (two percent increase). Smartphone and tablets accounted for 21 percent of hotel bookings.

Of most interest to BudgetHotels.sg founder Danny Lee was the fact that the Criteo report found that Asia Pacific led the way with more than 20 percent of travel bookings made on a mobile device. “For the past three years, BudgetHotels.sg has been the go-to destination for travelers looking for value-for-money accomodation and activities in Singapore,” said Lee. “We recognize that today’s travelers want the ease and convenience of making their trip arrangements on their mobile devices, so we strategically optimized our site to give them added flexibility, improved navigability and faster loading time.”

In addition to affordable hotels, the updated site offers a multitude of insightful articles to help first-time and repeat visitors to Singapore get the most for their money while visiting this exotic Southeast Asia destination. Topics range from “37 Free Things to Do in Singapore” and “6 Cheap Places to Shop in Singapore” to “28 Easy Ways for a Tourist to Save Money in Singapore”.
