CHICAGO (May 17, 2004) - Ray Cohen, president
and co-CEO of TravelCLICK, announced today that the 775-room luxury Grand
America Hotel in Salt Lake City, UT has selected TravelCLICK's iHotelier
booking engine for its GDS and Web site connectivity. The agreement replaces
the hotel's distribution agreement with Leading Hotels of the World, effective
March 31, 2004.
According to Bruce Fery, general manager of the Grand America Hotel, �In making the selection, we were very impressed with TravelCLICK's ability to handle all aspects of our electronic distribution strategy: competitive data, e-marketing, leading-edge enabling technology, and local service and support. The OneScreen engine is especially valuable to us, both for the leisure traveler and because of its group functionality, as more than half of our business is groups.� "By combining consumer interactivity with extensive management tools, the iHotelier booking engine enables hotels to maximize their profits from electronic distribution on the GDS and the Web," said Richard W. Gray, chairman and co-CEO of TravelCLICK. "For a hotel such as the Grand America, these capabilities are fundamental to being a market leader and preferred choice in today�s intensely competitive electronic marketplace. We couldn�t be more pleased than to be working with a hotel of the stature and sophistication of the Grand America.� About Grand America Hotel
