| 4000
Participating Hotels! |
 |

We are proud to announce that we have reached over 4000
hotels worldwide. Since January we have added 426
hotels, which is a record half-year increase!
This dramatic increase in hotel volume is directly
related to the great value we provide to both you as a
member and our participating hotels. Also, a
contributing factor is the increase in international
tourism arrivals to Asia Pacific and our expansions in
this region.
In addition Hotel Express has now increased its
countries served to 137, an increase of 13 countries
from last year. New countries include: Armenia, Comores,
Fiji, Guadeloupe, Laos, Nigeria, Saipan and Solomon
Islands.
So today, we provide accommodations at 4052 hotels
across all continents! And we work continuously to
establish good relationships with our participating
hotels so we can provide savings for preferred
accommodations for you.

| New
Improved Online Hotel Directory |
 |
This
week we are launching our new online hotel directory.
The new directory features up-to-date information about
our hotels, a map function plus a pre-filled booking
form.
We have simplified the booking procedure by adding a
booking icon. By clicking this, a pre-filled booking
form appears, listing selected country, city and hotel.
A list box has also been added, listing alternative
hotels in the selected city or in nearby towns/cities,
to show accommodation alternatives outside the city
centres. The hotels are listed according to distance in
km to city centre.
The new map function will make it easier for you to
locate the preferred hotel. The hotel's location is
marked with a red circle on the map. Unfortunately the
coverage is poor in some countries, and for some
countries the maps are not detailed enough. However, we
are continuously working to improve both the coverage
and the map accuracy.
