| February 2, 2005 - The need for effective Internet marketing
is not new and it is essential to every hotel in today�s web world.
The confusion hotels often face when matching a service to their needs
can be overwhelming. Hotel Web
Pro is a new type of service in the sense that it is a single source
for all Internet services, including website design, optimization, ad management
and booking engine or connectivity. By tying all of the services
together, the hotel will receive better reports and analysis on their website
traffic and booking results.
More recently, Richard has consulted with both large and small Internet ventures, hotel companies and other Internet based travel businesses to develop successful Internet services. Richard commented, �The common thread running through all of these businesses has been the inevitable questions; will the service business reduce the cost per sale and make it easier for the travel shopper? To answer this key question, the most important element to any Internet service is clear reliable reporting on website traffic and sales and the ability to link results to the source. If your Internet service provider is not working with you to deliver a clear report on your �conversion rate� and possibly tying their prices to their value then you might want to look elsewhere.
Richard Walsh commented about his new venture �At Hotel Web Pro, we believe successful Internet marketing is a combination of art and science. There is a certain artistic element required to create the perfect website and writing high impact optimized website content. While other aspects of Internet marketing such as organic and paid advertising or email campaigns have to be measured and the results analyzed to determine the best way to move more traffic to the sales channel that offers the best ROI. The real need that I see and hope to fulfill with Hotel Web Pro is to simplify the Internet marketing process and give the hotels the ability to measure and move market share to their most profitable Internet sales channels. Hotel Web Pro is an Internet marketing company offering all of the tools and services a hotel or hotel company needs to market and measure results on the Internet.

Walsh, president of Hotel Web Pro has been a major part of online travel

was part of the battle with the GDS for equal screen positioning of travel
services. During his term as President of Amadeus North America,
he worked with U.S. suppliers and travel agencies to determine new features

start-up ventures in both the airline and hotel space included hotel reservations
