Virtual hotels on Gazetteers.com

(12 February 2004)

AGENTS will soon be able to show customers video clips of hotels alongside unbiased property reviews, following a deal between holiday truths website Gazetteers.com and Internet video provider Simply Stream.

Approximately 6,000 hotels worldwide will be given the opportunity to promote themselves on the Gazetteers.com website by using compressed video technology.

Simon Ferguson, general manager of publisher DG&G travel information, said approximately 50 clips were in the process of being loaded on to the site. “This should enable agents to give customers a better view of where they are going to be staying,” Ferguson said
