On November 10, 2014, Buyatab announced that it has implemented a customer eGift Card program for the New Orleans Hotel Collection, a group of seven fine hotels and associated restaurants and bars in the New Orleans metropolitan area, as reported by Buyatab on its website at https://web.buyatab.com.

According to the announcement, guests and fans of The New Orleans Hotel Collection can now purchase gift cards electronically, in the form of eGift Cards, from the hotel websites and have them delivered instantly to recipients.

The New Orleans Hotel Collection provides a unique hotel experience for their guests with distinctive luxury and historic hotel properties, situated in many prime locations in New Orleans, said Matias Marquez, Buyatab's Chief Product Officer, who noted that the hotel collection wanted to enhance their service offering by making their gift cards accessible to their customers and guests, anywhere and anytime.

Irene Pallais, Area Internet Marketing Director, The New Orleans Hotel Collection, stated that all aspects of the guest experience are very important to them, and online purchases are no exception, and that by working with Buyatab, they are able to provide a high level of customer convenience while ensuring they are utilizing a trusted and secure system.
