MAY 5, 2009 - Open Hospitality, a global provider of hotel Internet marketing solutions, continues to drive results for hotel clients, even in the face of a challenging travel downturn. By combining their website design capabilities with targeted CRM e-Marketing and Search Engine Optimization, Open Hospitality's booking engine is delivering more revenue to hotels.

David Millili, Chief Executive Officer says, "Open Hospitality first quarter 2009 results demonstrate the power of our integrated Internet e-marketing and consumer booking solutions. Reservations volume increased 37% from the prior quarter. Hotel direct online bookings represented more than $50 million, just over 280,000 room nights." He adds, "These results prove that hotels can increase contributions from their most profitable sales channel, even during tough times."

"Combining our strong booking capabilities with excellent e-Marketing solutions, enables our client hotels to focus on the Internet segment very cost effectively," comments Brian Dass, President of Open Hospitality. "As the economy rebounds, the travel sector will take time to fully recover but we have lost no time building new market share for hotels," he adds.
