In Souz: apartments in the CIS countries just a few clicks away

The apartment booking engine "In Souz" is the first online tool designed to facilitate the search of accommodation in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The complicated booking procedure had been a complete turn-off for potential visitors to the CIS countries before the introduction of "In Souz". In fact, the entire procedure was rather time-consuming – it took days to contact flat owners and negotiate booking details. The concerted effort couldn't guarantee a place to stay as there was always risk not to find suitable options.

The idea behind the project was to encourage more foreign travellers to explore the CIS countries by making the booking hassle-free. For example, you need to find an apartment for rent in Minsk - now it takes from 5 to 10 minutes to book apartments on the web. Besides, it's not only travellers who can benefit from the new online tool. Reliable and trustworthy flat owners can rent out their property for a short period of time at lower prices than those charged by hotels.

Thanks to "In Souz", travelling has become much easier for people coming from all the post soviet countries.

How it works
The new reservation system "In Souz" allows booking apartments just in 5 minutes. Within this period of time one can find accommodation, make an advance payment by credit card, Web Money or Pay Pal and receive electronic confirmation via email. The whole thing has become possible thanks to flat calendars kept by property owners.

It's worth mentioning that all the market peculiarities were taken into account to develop the optimal payment model for "In Souz". Now travellers don't need to pay the total accommodation price in advance – only 15-25% prepayment is required when booking apartments via "In Souz". The rest of the sum shall be paid upon arrival. This helps eliminate suspicion and distrust experienced by tourists from the former USSR countries when it comes to paying a large sum of money over the Internet.

The project "In Souz" is targeted at building long-term business relationships with reliable and trustworthy property owners that's why travellers can have complete peace of mind when paying through the website.You can find, for example, Kiev apartments for rent, and be completely sure that you'll be accomodated at the appartment on your arrival.

Global growth plans
At the present moment travellers can book apartments in Moscow, Kiev, Sankt Petersburg, Minsk, Odessa and Sochi. The plans for the upcoming 12 months include developing the booking system in the above mentioned cities as well as expanding to 15 business and tourist centres more. Aggressive marketing strategies paired with advanced promotion tactics will help "In Souz" get closer to travellers.
