"This partnership strengthens our position on the web as the place to go for the best discount travel rates combined with top-notch service," said Tom Breitling, COO of Travelscape.com. "We're thrilled to welcome Orlando.com into our growing family of content and portal partners."

The agreement also strengthens Travelscape.com's position as the best place on the web to go for travel bargains.

"As a web site targeted exclusively to Orlando, the exploding number of requests for vacation and discount hotel reservations by our customers has made it necessary for us to find the most user-friendly and cost-efficient means of satisfying their travel needs," said Roderic van Beuzekom, President and CEO of Orlando.com.
