Travelocity’s New Hotel Shopping Engine Gives Consumers Faster, Easier Capabilities

New Design Gives Bookers More Flexibility and Search Options to Help Them Find
The Hotel That Meets Every Need

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ — With Travelocity’s revamped
hotel shopping engine, customers can now tailor their search for a hotel in
virtually any area, whether their main focus is price, amenities, or property
ratings. The enhanced hotel search options from Travelocity(R) make finding
the hotel tailor-made for customers’ individual tastes even easier and faster
than before while helping price-sensitive travelers stay within a certain
budget.

The upgraded hotel shopping path also features a unique “information grid”
with traveler reviews, hotel descriptions and photos, amenities and world-
renowned “AAA” diamond ratings. In addition, shoppers can now sort hotels by
price, rating, name, and distance from a certain geographical location.
Travelocity users will also find a marked improvement in search response
times.

“Travelocity has always been committed to improving the shopping
experience based on our customers’ feedback, and this is definitely the case
with the enhancements to our hotel shopping engine,” said Josh Feuerstein,
vice president, hotels for Travelocity. “We want to make it as easy and
useful as possible so that whenever customers shop our site, they do it with a
sense of confidence and satisfaction.”

These user-friendly enhancements will be clear, comprehensive and time-
saving as well — hotel searches at Travelocity are now significantly faster
and less complicated.

“With tools like TotalPrice(SM) for car rentals and TotalCruise(SM),
Travelocity shoppers have the flexibility and options to help them make
better, more informed travel decisions,” Feuerstein said. “We’re thrilled to
have broadened this philosophy to our hotel shoppers as well.”
