iStay takes the interactive shopping environment one step further by integrating hotel packages and enhanced stay options on the same screen as room reservations.  Featuring rich digital media content, iStay displays up to six large, compelling photographs per room type and has a platform to add floor plans and 360-degree room views plus videos.  TravelCLICK�s implementation of Flash technology provides a user-driven, integrated shopping and booking experience that does not require the shopper to wait for information to be updated from the CRS as they personalize their stay.  Shoppers receive an instantaneous response as they interact with iStay, keeping them continuously engaged in the shopping experience, and more likely to complete the transaction and convert to guests. 

"iStay will redefine the way hotels drive revenue through their websites,� said Robert Post, President and CEO at TravelCLICK.  �Capturing incremental revenue at the time of booking increases the emotional value of the stay for the guest and the economic value of the stay for the hotel.  iStay evolves the web booking engine into a strategic business tool that does more than transact online reservations; it builds hotel mindshare and competitive advantage through compelling digital content--and grows profits by maximizing revenue per stay.�

iStay is part of the TravelCLICK�s comprehensive central reservation system, iHotelier. Along with web reservations, iHotelier offers next-generation connectivity to the GDS, call center services, and onward distribution to major travel sites.
 
iStay is being introduced this week at  the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC) in Minneapolis, MN, along with the total TravelCLICK solution�including market intelligence, distribution management, and marketing services.
