Why Gatvel.com was created

Gatvel.com was created to solve seamless traveller’s problem. Travellers will always have an issue when it comes to travel booking. Travellers spend an average 3-4 weeks to pre-plan their holiday trip, and have to browse up to average 38 different websites just to compare the prices, or to make their hotel booking, gather information on local transport, tours, and destination guides, and so much more travelling issues.

Gatvel.com was created to help travellers to plan their holidays all under one roof. Gatvel.com can be seen as the Google Traveller version, where it offers travel features such as pre-planning, in-destination, travel info, booking and travel intelligence features. As such, travellers will be able to save time, save money, hassle-free and become efficient, quality, and intelligent travellers while planning for your holiday. Travellers no longer need to visit so many websites, or download hundreds of travel apps as they travel. All they need to do is go onto Gatvel.com and get all the travelling products and services they need.
