In order to evaluate where RateVIEW product improvements might be made, TravelCLICK conducted a survey of users between June 17 and July 1, 2003. With nearly 30 percent of all subscribers responding, over 90 percent of RateVIEW users reported high satisfaction scores with the new product. The most popular feature, named by 70 percent of the respondents, is RateVIEW�s capability to separately identify �merchant� versus retail rates.

TravelCLICK�s client extranet, the Electronic Marketing Centre (EMC), earned enthusiastic praise as the means of report retrieval. The EMC is a secure, password-protected personalized Web site provided to each subscribing hotel. The EMC allows RateVIEW users to view or generate on demand RateVIEW competitive rate reports. According to the RateVIEW user survey, more than 50 percent of RateVIEW users access on-demand reports more than twice a week, and more than 25 percent of customers generate reports more than three times per week.

"I love the new RateVIEW tool. It enables our property to perform revenue management and adjust distribution strategies on both the GDS and the Internet based on the freshest data available,� said Kari McClain, director of revenue management for Doubletree Hotel Portland Downtown. �Plus, the ease and security of accessing it on-demand through TravelCLICK's EMC makes it extremely convenient. We couldn't live without it."

�It is clear that RateVIEW is a resource these hoteliers turn to almost daily to make their most important business decisions,� said Ray Cohen, president and co-CEO for TravelCLICK. �We are delighted that TravelCLICK users are so positive and passionate about the product, and about the way it works for their hotels.�

"RateVIEW enables hotels to make better tactical decisions thereby improving their net revenues,� said Richard W. Gray, chairman and co-CEO for TravelCLICK.  �RateVIEW clients are reporting that with this accurate and fresh rate intelligence, their competitive actions are now more timely and more effective than ever before.�
