OYO said last month that it would stop aggregating new hotels and move to fully-managed hotel brand, which leased properties directly from owners. Photo: PTIBengaluru: More than two years after delisting OYO Rooms’ hotel inventory, online travel platform MakeMyTrip said it will once again offer OYO hotel rooms, a move that is likely to boost sales at Oyo. A group of online travel providers including MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and Yatra jointly blocked OYO from listing its hotels on their platforms in October 2015. MakeMyTrip’s move to re-list OYO comes almost 6 months after Yatra also added back OYO’s hotel inventory on its platform. OYO CEO Ritesh Agarwal said during a press conference last month that it is adding close to 500 hotels or 10,000 rooms under the franchise model.
