JULY 26, 2006. Hotels and Resorts is selecting TravelCLICK's iHotelier central reservation system (CRS) featuring its award-winning web booking engine and GDS connectivity to drive bookings for six of its eight properties in Waikiki, Hawaii.
To maximize the performance of its distribution strategy, the hotel group will implement an integrated Internet marketing program including online search marketing to drive traffic to the group's new website, also developed by TravelCLICK.
A leader in the condotel (combination "condominium" and "hotel") market in Waikiki, Aqua Hotels and Resorts (www.aquaresorts.com ) specializes in providing boutique accommodations with added hotel services tailored to guests' needs. An integrated solution from TravelCLICK allows the group more flexibility to drive higher levels of profitability across all electronic distribution channels.

Enhanced merchandising features allow the hotels to offer package stays that can be customized by the guest to create their ideal vacation experience.
