Corporate online hotel booking company Hotelzon has strengthened its presence in Eastern Europe with the opening of an office in Romania and a team of 10 employees.

The expansion is a result of a partnership between Hotelzon and long-standing partner AROBS Transylvania Software. The focus for the new office will be sales and rate negotiation on hotels for Hotelzon’s existing corporate and agency client base.

The company already has presence across Europe and Asia Pacific with its head office in London. The new office in Romania is located at the centre of Cluj, recognised as the country's high-tech region.

Jani Kaskinen, CEO of Hotelzon, said: “Our expansion in to Romania clearly shows our commitment to growth. We are delighted to further our relationships with AROBS Transylvania and look forward to widening our reach in Romania.”

Voicu Oprean, owner and CEO, AROBS Transilvania Software, added: “USA, Scandic and European companies are increasingly seeing the merits and professionalism of partnering with Romanian tech companies such as AROBS. We have built an excellent relationship with Hotelzon and are delighted to expand this exciting co-operation with them.”
