 TravelCLICK's New Web Site Provides Free Access
to Local Hotel GDS Booking Information 
CHICAGO - May 22, 2002 -- Bruce W. Mainzer, senior vice president of marketing for TravelCLICK, announced the launch of a completely enhanced www.travelclick.net Web site with a unique capability: the site now enables any visitor to download GDS hotel booking data for over 400 cities worldwide.
                        
"TravelCLICK is making hotel booking information available to increase understanding of the $15 billion marketplace the GDS represent," said Mainzer. "We encourage anyone interested in hotel room distribution to investigate e-commerce trends in their local market through www.travelclick.net. Our new site enables them to do that - and at no cost."
                        
The site provides updated sample reports and tutorials of TravelCLICK's two market-leading competitive benchmarking products: Hotelligence and PHASER Complete Access. Additionally, TravelCLICK's Media Networks, including the new Group Media Network, are presented in self-guided tours. The upgraded site also provides a look-up feature to connect with a local TravelCLICK expert who can provide more detailed information on individual hotel property booking performance, and assist properties in their efforts to maximize revenues from electronic channels.
                        
"Being the worldwide leader in digital media and electronic distribution data for the travel industry carries a responsibility," Mainzer said. "Our Web site now reflects that responsibility by providing education and resources any hotelier can use to their advantage to make his or her hotel more successful in the competitive marketplace."
