Pittsburg, CA and New Orleans (October 10, 2002) - Hotel partners of Cheapestdeals.com and affiliates of HotelQuest International can now upload rates and availability directly and automatically from their property management systems via a connection through Hotel Booking Solutions� hobooBox� channel management solution.  Room reservations are confirmed directly by the hotels� reservation systems through this interface, eliminating the time-consuming process of faxing or emailing of reservation confirmations � the current standard practice for letting the hotel know that a reservation has been made through an online reservation system. 

�This breakthrough,� says Rene Pouteau, Vice President of HotelQuest International, �will not only speed up the reservation process, essential to satisfy our guests, but also reduce costs for all parties and increase sales by tapping the last rooms available at the hotels. It marks an important step in the development and progress of online hotel reservation processing.� 

�We are extremely excited to be working with Hotel Quest International,� says Chris Lopez, President and CEO of Hotel Booking Solutions.  �They are showing a great deal of forethought in anticipating the needs of their hotel partners and we look forward to adding value to their business model.�
