Wierd scam

This is the second e-mail I've received like this-wrong name, wrong continent.
What is the scammer gaining from using my e-mail address to book hotel reservations? Identity theft?

Have a safe and pleasant trip!

It could be a phishing attempt.

I haven't entered an email into the site you've given, but my bet is that leads on to a request for your credit card details.
