New Hotel Directory Launched
AUGUST 18, 2006. A new travel Web site Directory of Hotels.com will connect consumers with hotel accommodations that fit their lifestyles and by informing them about the travel experience.
"Consumers will find a diverse collection of hotels including boutique hotels, small hotels, resorts, luxury hotels, eco-resorts, inns, chateaus, bed & breakfast, castles, haciendas, and more," says Tanya Colleen, Director of Business Development, with Directory of Hotels.com. "Our goal is to expose the small to medium-size hotel and lesser known properties around the world." The specialized hotel directory offers two affordable listing options:
Featured listings are offered for $29/month and include a detailed property profile including color photos, full contact information with an online form for inquiries, in-depth description of the property with hotel accommodations, a direct link to their Web site, inclusion in an advanced hotel finder, and instant inclusion in The Hot List.
Basic Listings provide fundamental information for hotel visitors. Contact information, a 50-word description of the property, direct link to the Web site, and inclusion in an advanced hotel finder. Basic listings are just $129/year.

"Directory of Hotels gathered funding in late 2005 to attract a qualified team of seasoned travel consultants, travel writers, programmers and internet marketers experienced in driving traffic to hotel Web site properties," says Colleen. "We are excited about the opportunities ahead to serve our visitors and partners alike." Colleen further commented by saying, "Our low-cost listing options are a perfect ad-solution for both budget sensitive hotels and larger resorts."
