CHICAGO - May 30, 2000-- Ray Cohen, president and co-CEO of TravelCLICK, Inc., announced today that Hyatt International is the first company to subscribe to TravelCLICK�s new Hotelligence Reports on a brand-wide basis.

The new Hotelligence Reports will provide each of Hyatt International�s properties with access to historical electronic booking data from the Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and the Internet, including information on business sources, rates, and length-of-stay patterns, for both the individual Hyatt property and its local competitive set. This broad-based data will greatly enhance Hyatt International�s operational decision-making and effectiveness in electronic distribution of its product around the world.

�TravelCLICK�s Hotelligence Reports will provide us with critical data not available anywhere else,� said John Wallis, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Hyatt International.  �The travel agency and distribution benchmarks, combined with revenue management tools, will empower Hyatt properties to excel in our competitive market set.�

�We are thrilled that Hyatt International has chosen to make TravelCLICK�s Hotelligence Reports the distribution management tool of choice for their portfolio,� said Cohen. �We work closely with our hotel clients to insure our new information products serve their needs. Hyatt International�s decision is a clear message that we continue to achieve that goal.�
