FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In Two Short Years Hotel Connections Corporation
Has Realized Rapid Ascent as One of Top Independent Providers of Hotel Reservations
East Stroudsburg, PA December 14, 2006 - Just two short years ago when
travel industry guru, Rick Golden envisioned Hotel Connections Corporation (HCC),
the Technology Division of his ever-expanding travel company, GoldenTravelGuides,
he could not have imagined the strides that the company would make.
Hotel Connections Corporation, who led the Poconos, Pennsylvania region in
hotel reservations services by an independent, private company during its first
successful year, was thrilled to surpass their target for year two as one of the
largest reservations networks in the entire state of Pennsylvania. The addition
of several key clients to HCC's repertoire in the past few months has served to
even further strengthen their imprint as an industry-leading provider of travel
reservations technology and services to Convention and Visitors Bureaus, Destination
Marketing Organizations, and the tourism industry at large.
Hotel Connections Corporation (http://www.HotelConnectionsCorporation.com)
works with each individual client to develop a la carte sales, marketing, and
packaging initiatives and promotions that will best suit the individual needs
of their region and their property's individual business objectives.
Hotel Connections Corporation creates world-class room reservation, golf tee
time reservation, restaurant reservation, and tour packaging technology for their
proprietary use in order to accommodate the growing need in their industry. They
have recently made this technology available for lease to the Hospitality and
Travel Industries. Hotel Connections Corporation, who has direct access to more
than 40,000 hotels around the world, has already forged client relationships with
350 (and growing daily) hotels to market rooms. These are not normally discounted,
but are sold at market rates to travelers the property would not otherwise reach.
The sale of rooms through HCC's system nets Lodging Property Owners substantially
more net revenue than if the same rooms were to be sold through HCC's competitors
(Travelocity, Hotels.com, Expedia, Hotwire, and Priceline.)
Hotel Connections Corporation also provides online and call-center reservation
systems for Convention and Visitors Bureaus, individual hotels, inns, resorts,
other lodging properties, and destination attraction's Web sites. HCC staff includes
Web site designers, Search Engine Optimization Specialists, advanced programmers,
and networking personnel.
Hotel Connections Corporation (HCC), headquartered at 366 North Courtland Street,
Suite B in East Stroudsburg, in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, is a subsidiary
of Golden Interests, Inc., the largest leisure travel agency in Pennsylvania and
one of the largest in the Northeastern United States. Golden Interests is a member
of the Pocono Mountains (PA) Chamber of Commerce, the Pocono Mountains Vacation
Bureau (PMVB), the Naples and Key West (FL) Chambers of Commerce, the Sullivan
County (NY) Chamber of Commerce, and the Pike and Wayne County (PA) Chambers of
Commerce.
Golden Interests publishes more than 80 Internet-based guides to the "Best
of" cities like the Poconos, Atlantic City, Naples, Hershey, Tunica, Niagara
Falls, and Punta Cana. They arrange for groups, leisure, and business travelers
at more than 40,000 hotels across the world. They can be reached toll free at:
