Phoenix and New Orleans, USA (November 12, 2002) - Alliance Reservations Network (ARN), the owners of www.worldtraveldeals.com and hundreds of other destination web sites, and the booking engine technology behind many portal sites like www.arizona.com, www.iowa.com and www.alaska.com, has chosen hobooBox� technology to interface with the hundreds of net rate hotel vendors ARN currently works with. 

�hobooBox� technology is bound to revolutionize the net rate hotel distribution industry. No longer will hotel revenue managers have the burden of managing multiple web interfaces with scores of destination marketers�, says Peter Bertenshaw, President of ARN. �Our hotel partners are ecstatic!�

In addition to providing real-time rate and inventory to ARN, the seamless two-way hobooBox� interface, built by Hotel Booking Solutions (HBS),  will also transfer reservations and cancellations directly into the hotels� reservation system without the need for human intervention � or cumbersome faxing and emailing.  Because it is an ASP model, there is no hardware for the hotelier to buy, and the service can be set up in a matter of hours.

�ARN is streamlining the process for the suppliers in the industry,� says Darin McAuliffe, Senior Vice President of Global Sales for HBS.  �We welcome ARN into the growing group of distributors who are working with hobooBox� to address the challenges facing hoteliers today.�
