HotelBook.com Jumps 21% in Profits
Utell Hotels & Resorts reported a 21% increase in revenue to hotels between January and August 2008 on hotelbook.com.
HotelBook.com offers more than 6,000 independent, boutique and small group hotels in 2,000 cities around the world, and averages stays of 2.8 days and an average increase of £8 per night in booking rates compared to 2007.
Even with economic trends on a downward spiral, the operation was able to post a respectable profit.
“We’ve further developed hotelbook this year to enable the independent and boutique hotels represented to better reach travellers globally seeking a unique and personalised experience,” said Wimborne. “The revenue results are evidence that our campaigns are delivering for both hotels and customers.”
