MakeMyTrip renews ties with hospitality firm OYO after two years

In August 2016, the online travel agency said the firm removed OYO because of quality issues

More than two years after closing its doors on OYO, the country’s biggest online travel agency (OTA) MakeMyTrip is welcoming back the SoftBank-funded budget hospitality firm. MakeMyTrip’s move follows rival Yatra’s decision in October last year to renew ties with OYO. These about turns by leading OTAs is in response to the scale that OYO is building in the budget hotel space.

Rajesh Magow, Co-founder & CEO India, MakeMyTrip said, “With OYO’s evolution as a full-scale hospitality company, we are excited to offer their award-winning chain of hotels in the value economy and mid-market category through MakeMyTrip and Goibibo platforms”.
