Hostelbookers launching MyHostelbookers

Hostelbookers is adding features soon.

Excerpt:

The first stage will see a redesign of the site including the addition of new destination guides and other editorial content, an enhanced user review system, free-text search and language sites for France, Italy, Germany and Spain.

A second phase, earmarked for later this year, will include personalised features such as a MyHostelbookers and trip planning functionality.

A flight search area is also likely to be added to the site during 2008.

The company has ambitions to become and market itself as a fully fledged online travel agency over the next few years once flights and further hotel inventory are added to the site.
