Intellistrand LLC, an industry leading developer of city, state and leisure portal Internet sites, has launched its 100th Web site on the City Hotels Network. With this milestone, site visitors can view more than 50 hotels per city in locations throughout North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia.
The 100th site launched, www.vancouverhotels.travel, comes 11 months after the first City Hotels Network site, www.vegashotels.travel, was produced by Intellistrand in December of 2005. By utilizing the Network, viewers are able to search sites including www.newyorkcityhotels.travel, www.parishotels.travel and www.cancunhotels.travel where they can make reservations, research travel deals and learn specifics about particular hotels in 100 cities worldwide.
In addition to the advanced booking features that offer a quick and easy reservation process, the Network provides interactive maps powered by Google Maps that allow the viewer to determine the hotel’s exact location in relation to other attractions, which are listed on every Network site.
Each site also offers a “best selling” feature that ranks the most requested hotel listings for each city, providing travelers with an idea of what fellow travelers are selecting as their accommodations of choice. Photographs are included to provide the viewer with a glimpse of the hotel and its amenities before they make their selection.
Repeat visitors can sign up for e-mail alerts notifying them of special discounts and updated rates at various hotels in their selected cities. This service helps to reduce the time spent making reservations for upcoming trips.
When planning for future trips, visitors to the City Hotels Network can view other popular destinations currently offered by the Network. The list is updated as new cities are added.
“We are thrilled to provide travelers with a new and affordable resource in their travel planning,” said Will McIntosh, CEO of Intellistrand. “By using these sites for reservation booking, travelers will benefit from our Low Rate Guarantee, giving them the most options at the best prices. Our goal is to ensure that tourists begin their trip with the best possible experience when securing their travel plans.”
The .travel Internet domain was officially launched in January 2006 with more than 30 leading travel industry organizations, including the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), helping to regulate and establish a true online community for the travel and tourism industry.
