OAG, the global travel and transport information company, announced today the addition of a new online hotel ‘look and book’ service on its travel web site, www.oag.com. World Choice Travel, a division of the Travelocity Partner Network, powers the reservation system. The ‘OAG.com’ hotel booking engine offers more than 200 major hotel brands in nearly 10,000 destinations worldwide at discounted rates. The site features full colour hotel brochures and interactive mapping, and is available in six languages and in more than 160 currencies. “The new service,” says Duncan Alexander, managing director Business Development at OAG, “is targeted at business and leisure consumers who need a quick and easy solution to finding and booking a hotel. It makes our travel portal an even more useful and relevant resource for corporate customers and the travelling public.” Corporate and leisure visitors to ‘OAG.com’ can save time and money by shopping at a database of over 55,000 hotels and resorts worldwide while taking advantage of the site’s ‘Best Rate Guarantee’. The ‘Best Rate Guarantee’ covers many of the properties on offer and gives anyone who finds a better online deal at the property the guarantee that it will match the rate, plus pay 10% of the difference in price. “OAG.com is already providing a wealth of worldwide flight and travel information, including electronic guides to more than 200 countries, and 400 airports, all designed to assist travellers and travel arrangers in making the best possible travel decisions,“ explains Alexander. “The addition of this simple ‘look and book’ service is complimentary to the subscription products we offer the corporate market for preparing complex and frequent trip plans with preferencing and full itinerary building capabilities.” - END -
Note to Editors about ‘Best Rate Guarantee’
The ‘Best Rate Guarantee’ means that if the client finds a lower rate on another website for the same room, at the same hotel, on the same dates, within 24-hours of making the booking, it will guarantee to match the rate plus pay 10% of the difference in price. The ‘Best Rate Guarantee’ is noted with a special icon next to the property listing and is for the room rate only and does not include any taxes, tariffs or fees. The ‘Best Rate Guarantee’ does not apply to discounted rates for senior citizens, travel industry rates, corporate negotiated rates, Government/Military rates or AAA rates.
