DhIafa.com
Dhiafa.com is a joint initiative of Encompass Marketing Solutions (eMs) based in Manama and GHATT based in Riyadh.
The two companies have developed a disruptive hospitality proposition that aligns consumer needs and hospitality operators’ goals better than any other platform available today.
StayXtraⓇ
While it is our ambition offering a wide variety of hospitality services in a large number of countries, our initial focus is on short term (up to 30 says) -and long term (beyond 30 days) stay accommodation (hotels, apartments, etc.) in Saudi Arabia and UAE, named StayXtra, offering exceptional benefits for travelers.
Before arriving at our business proposition, we extensively studied the market context:
KSA inbound Umrah/Haj market (non-GCC): current offerings, distribution models, regulations, geographical segment potential.
GCC travelers short stay needs and constraints: a quantitative KANTAR/TNS consumer study KSA.
Long stay property propositions: available on bayut, dubizzle and other platforms.
Travel potential coming 5 years: a quantitative market study including regional domestic, inbound, and outbound.
Operator’s challenges: seasonal fluctuations, revenue optimization, brand distinction, and consumer satisfaction.
Competitive travel distribution benchmark: including all major online accommodation platforms in the GCC (e.g. Booking, Al Tayer, Flyin, etc.)
'StayXtra raises the consumer’s experience journey and operator’s value-added to an unprecedented new level.'
Our launch marketing program is named StayXtra, offering short -and long-stay accommodation on one platform at great value for money, unique service features, and a new level of transparency.
