Over the course of 2013, HotelQuickly expanded to 5 more markets including three Asian countries (Vietnam, Macau, Cambodia) and the main pacific markets (Australia, New Zealand). HotelQuickly is the first company to make last-minute mobile-only hotel booking available on the two continents. In August 2013, HotelQuickly secured 9m HKD in angel funding.
