Booking on SnapTravel is as easy as sending a text

January 28, 2019

SnapTravel has been working to make travel booking as easy as sending a text message. The vacation booking site is offering exclusive hotel deals via SMS so that customers get the hotel rooms they what when they want them.

"Essentially, we want to get you the best hotel, as fast as possible, and as easy as possible," CEO and co-founder Hussein Fazal stated.

Users simply text certain details ー where they want to visit and when ー and can receive a near-immediate reply. According to Fazal, his company uses artificial intelligence tech to ensure the response time is speedy and the recommendations appropriate.

Fazal said the SnapTravel's services are also available through other messaging platforms.

"Whether it be Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, iMessage, we work on all those platforms," he said.

SnapTravel offers online hotel booking services over SMS, Facebook Messenger, Slack and other communication platforms. It uses a combination of machine learning and natural language processing to surface the best hotel recommendations at the best price.

SnapTravel founded in 2016 by repeat tech entrepreneurs. It is based in San Francisco, California.
