| POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (December 20, 1999) - HotelView Corporation
has redesigned its Web site at http://www.hotelview.com
with a new look, destination videos and the addition of travel tools to
simplify trip planning. A wholly owned subsidiary of Visual Data
Corporation (NASDAQ:VDAT), HotelView�s site also now includes banner advertising
and gives viewers the option of choosing between RealPlayer or Windows
Media at speeds of 56, 100 or 300.
Viewers can still enjoy watching high-quality streaming video tours of some of the world�s leading hotels, but will have the added benefits of trip planning amenities at their fingertips. The �Travel Tools� section of the Web site includes a travel calendar, estimated driving distances, currency exchange converter and expense calculator. In addition, there is a listing of Internet links to top hotel chains, airlines, automobile rental companies, travel agents and other travel-related sites. �Highlighted Destination Video� at the bottom of the homepage features sightseeing tours of vacation hotspots including hotels, attractions, golf courses and recreation. HotelView created the concept of �destination bundling� for its travel channel sites on Yahoo! Broadcast.com, Road Runner and Snap.com. Currently on the HotelView site, viewers can take video tours of Jamaica, San Francisco and Hawaii and South Florida.
Visual Data Corporation produces, markets and distributes original video and audio content for the Internet and soon, Interactive Television, on a wide range of topics including travel, business information, medicine and healthcare. HotelView combines Visual Data�s digital media technology with a superior travel-related distribution network to promote and advertise travel products via sight, sound and motion at a fraction of the cost of traditional media. Copies of the footage produced in-house by HotelView are available for use by the property�s sales force in either VHS or PAL format and can be translated into any language. This press release contains forward-looking statements, which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. |
