First Internet Travel currently operates over 500 URLs in major markets worldwide, and boasts over 3,000 on-line affiliations.  FIT is also a co-founder of Travel Inventory Marketing Alliance (TIMA), a system that allows hotel inventory suppliers and distributors the ability to market unused inventory through a network of similar marketers, their affiliates and private-label partners. This distribution channel not only allows merchant-model hotel inventory suppliers the ability to clear their allotments, but it also presents an opportunity for inventory marketers/distributors to access inventory in markets they were formerly unable to supply.  FIT plans to work with EZ-YIELD� to leverage the excellent relationships both companies have built with their hotel partners. 

�We believe the Internet companies that can form true equal partnerships with their hotels are the ones that will remain standing in the long run.  EZ-YIELD� is an exceptional yield management product that we�re proud to bring to our contracted hotels� states Leslie Portella, Vice President of Hotel Sales for FIT.  �Conversely, our affiliate relationships and involvement with TIMA opens up a rich potential customer base for properties that utilize EZ-YIELD�.  Hotels that haven�t signed up with 1800USAHotels.com are missing an excellent distribution opportunity; our new partnership will ultimately close that gap�. 

�EZ-YIELD� believes that this partnership with 1800USAHotels.com and TIMA will provide our hoteliers with a superior point of distribution,� said Ed St. Onge, president and co-founder of EZ Yield.com.  ��EZ Yield.com adds value to our product suite by offering compatibility to, and partnering with, industry leading wholesalers such as 1800USAHotels.com and TIMA.�.�
