Instead of an OTA for the hotel, a Facebook page for the houseboat, an agent for the visa and a counter for the ship ticket, a traveller searches, compares and books all of it in one place — in their own currency, in English or Bengali, with a human on standby. The differentiator is curation. Every property clears three editor checks before it earns a card on the site: 1. **Quality** — 4-star and up, unless something truly special earns an exception. 2. **Service** — verified responsiveness from the property's own team, not a call centre. 3. **Honesty** — the trade-offs are listed alongside the highlights. ## Booking verticals - **Hotels** — editor-reviewed 4- and 5-star stays with live nightly rates, star ratings, honest discounts and member upgrades at partner hotels. - **Tour packages** — curated multi-day trips across hill stations, beaches and heritage routes, with day-by-day itineraries and inclusions. - **House boats** — premium Tanguar Haor houseboat tours (one-night / two-day packages on named boats), a category that normally never makes it online. - **Ship tickets** — coastal and island routes, including Saint Martin and the Sundarbans. - **Air tickets** — flight search in the same unified search bar as the stay. - **Visa processing** — tourist, business, work, student, transit and medical visas, with the paperwork prepared and every step tracked. ## Destinations Bangladesh: Dhaka, Cox's Bazar, Sundarbans, Sylhet, Sajek, Bandarban, Rangamati, Saint Martin Island, Kuakata, Sreemangal. Also served: India, Thailand, Malaysia, UAE, Singapore. ## Platform capabilities - Unified search across all verticals (destination, dates, guests) with remembered recent searches and flexible-date shortcuts (tonight / this weekend / next month) - Accounts with email and OAuth sign-in, member rates and loyalty points on every booking - Wishlists persisted per account across devices - Multi-currency pricing — BDT, USD, EUR, INR, GBP, AED — applied consistently from search through checkout - Bilingual English and Bengali content - Dedicated media CDN (image.gonstay.com) for fast property galleries on mobile data - Code-split React bundles, route-level lazy loading and skeleton states - Per-route SEO metadata, canonicals, and TravelAgency / WebSite SearchAction / SiteNavigation structured data - Admin back office for site settings, inventory, pricing, discounts and featured placements — no deploy needed - Persistent "Talk to travel desk" launcher on every page ## How a traveller uses it 1. **Search** — pick a vertical, set destination, dates and guests, or jump into a curated destination rail. 2. **Compare** — every result is editor-checked, with honest rates and stated trade-offs. 3. **Book** — confirm in your own currency, earn loyalty points, unlock member upgrades. 4. **Travel** — the 24/7 travel desk stays on call from planning until you're home. ## Promises published on the site - 24/7 travel desk — real humans, before, during and after the trip - Best-price promise — find it cheaper and they'll match it - Member upgrades — free room upgrades, breakfast and late check-out at partner hotels - Curated by editors — a hundred handpicked experiences beats a million unread listings ## B2B GoNStay is currently running B2B, working with travel trade partners and properties alongside the public site.
