Baitoka connects lodging hosts with tourist in MENA

January 5, 2019

Baitoka.com is here to connect those living or visiting the Middle East with those in the Middle East offering lodgings to house travelers and tourists.

The Middle East saw $224 billion spent on tourism and travel in 2017. It is expected to reach $234 billion by the end of 2018, and forecast to rise by 4.6% pa to $365 billion by 2028. Coupled with a vacation rental market, also known as the VR industry, flourishing at a rapid pace at $100 billion in 2016, the global vacation rental market is projected at $170 billion by 2019. That is a huge market that has not been tapped yet.

Basel Qabouq, the company's founder and owner, is confident that Baitoka.com is positioned on the cusp of a bourgeoning market in the Middle East. The website went live on the 20th November 2018.

It is the only website within the industry in the Arabic language, a place that speaks their language. According to Qabouq, Baitoka.com is not just a simple portal for accommodation; it encapsulates the beauty of Arabic hospitality in a website. A site that converts homes to 5-star hotels.
