Hotwire.com Joins TravelCLICK's
Consumer Media Network
Chicago IL (October 8, 2003) � TravelCLICK announced the addition of discount travel Web site Hotwire.com to its Consumer Media Network.

TravelCLICK partnered with Hotwire to sell advertising inventory on the Hotwire Web site to individual hotel properties.  For the first time, individual hotel properties advertising on the Hotwire Web site can have the click-through from ads go directly to their own property Web sites. Hotels advertising on Hotwire will therefore be able to fulfill reservations directly on their own booking engines for consumers who click on their ads on Hotwire.

"This new partnership permits our 6,000 hotel clients to take advantage of 'direct-click-through' media," said Ray Cohen, president and co-CEO of TravelCLICK. "This unique media will introduce more consumers to the ease of directly booking on the property's own Web site."

TravelCLICK's Hotwire media offering will include destination-specific banners on air, car and hotel package search results, spotlight pages, run-of-site opportunities and more.  For additional information, visit www.travelclick.net.
