Mumbai, Egypt, February 2007

Mr. Vishal Ajwani Manager, Marketing of ResAvenue explains, after the recent tie-up with The Karvin Hotel, Egypt “Hoteliers have started to recognize that technology improves hotel’s direct-to-website strategies, and choosing to work with a solution such as ResAvenue, creates significant value for hotels, by using dedicated resources to lower costs and maximizing online revenues.” Quoting further about their recent tie-up Mr. Vishal Ajwani said, “By equipping their hotel’s website with real-time online reservations facility not only enables the hotel to operate more efficiently, it also gives the hotel guests the added privilege of booking more independently.

Heliopolis was one of the most ancient cities of Egypt. The ancient city stood five miles east of the Nile north of the apex of the Delta.  In ancient times it was the principal seat of sun-worship thus its name, which means town of the sun in Greek.

The ancient site of Heliopolis lies in the northeastern extreme of greater Cairo in a district known as Mataria. The Hotel Karvin situated in the Heliopolis area of Cairo, is at a convenient proximity of just 12 kilometers from the Museums and Churches of Coptic Cairo.
