hotelguide.com Consolidates Online Hotel Content: New Rate Comparison Model Brings End-Users and Hotels Closer

SURSEE/LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND (ots)

hotelguide.com, leading
international online hotel information and booking platform announces
its new consolidation-model providing customers with a one-stop shop
for accommodation search and booking services.
hotelguide.com has partnered with multiple booking service
providers (GDS, Hotels.com, Worldres.com, with others to follow) to
augment their already impressive hotel content and booking service.
The new application based on custom-made XML interface technology is
able to search, compare and retrieve in seconds the best hotel deals
available on the web. By performing a web-wide search, incorporating
real-time room availability checks and best price listing, the
application automatically compiles and presents hotel offers
according to the user's search criteria. Once users accept a deal
they can make real-time online reservations with immediate
confirmation via the respective booking service provider.
"The consolidation of hotel content is an important development
for our business," says Daniel Vogel, VP Business Development at
hotelguide.com. "For users it can be tedious to browse through
multiple websites to finally identify the best deal. We have
developed an application to do this research within seconds,
substantially increasing the convenience level towards users. We are
very excited about positioning the company to be a single point of
reference particularly as users become increasingly sophisticated and
discerning in their online travel decisions."
The advantage to participating booking service providers is wider
distribution and therefore additional revenue on booking commissions.
"For hotels who advertise through hotelguide.com, 1st page position
on the destination result page is guaranteed plus non-commissionable
booking channels," says Mr. Vogel. "Our existing system of offering
full transparency of booking channels won't change -- the end-user
will continue to choose between booking directly with the hotel
(through web/email links, phone or fax) or via our real-time booking
system. We know non-commissionable booking is valued by our hotels,
it's something that has given hotelguide.com a real edge in a
competitive marketplace."
