Goldjoy Travel Limited (“Goldjoy”), Hong Kong’s first Cruise Lines  International Association (CLIA) accredited travel agency, is pleased to announce themselves as  Asia’s first online travel partner to launch “Direct Connect” with two of Genting Hong Kong  (SEHK:678) cruise lines Dream Cruises and Crystal Cruises.  

“Direct Connect” enables the travel company via its website goldjoy.com to provide its customers  with end to end online booking services at a click of a finger. It has been designed using API  technologies that enables 24 x 7 real time cruise cabin pricing, availability and online reservation  capability with instant confirmation. This is a first in Asia to launch such a solution with the cruise lines. 

Globally, over 70% of cruise bookings are still being made through traditional travel agents and  Goldjoy believes it is well positioned to capture the shift in the growing consumer preference for an  online booking alternative. Today’s announcement reflects Goldjoy's ambition to cement themselves  as Asia’s leading Online Travel Agency (OTA) focused on cruise tourism. The proprietary cruise  booking platform already connects with some of the world’s largest cruise lines offering more than   10,000 unique sailings and is estimated to exceed 50,000 later this year as cruise lines begin to  resume operations around the world. 

Dr Fred Yip, Goldjoy’s Executive Director, said“With the rising popularity of cruise tourism in the  region, we are very honoured to have both Dream Cruises and Crystal Cruises in our digital  transformation journey. We are aspired to make Goldjoy.com to become the leading OTA for cruise  bookings in Asia”
