GoZayaan allows users to book domestic and international travel options and pay in their local currency. They also offer the Hometown app, designed to help migrants send money back home.
Problem
- Outdated travel market: The travel market in Bangladesh is mostly offline, rife with fraud, high fees, and lack of transparency, especially impacting the middle class and migrant workers.
- Limited real-time info: Bangladeshi consumers face a shortage of real-time information on travel options.
- Inefficient hotel and airline operations: Many hotels and airlines have limited online presence, leading to poor transparency, miscommunication with customers, and ultimately, higher costs.
Solution
- Comprehensive platform: Based in Singapore, GoZayaan offers a travel platform serving Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Singapore, allowing users to purchase in local currency and access a wide range of travel options, including flights, hotels, and tours.
- Online Travel Agency: They operate an OTA for local customers in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
- Hometown App: The app helps Bangladesh migrant workers in Singapore and Malaysia buy flight tickets and send money back home. Future expansions include Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
