Oct 17, 2007 -- Sleep for cheap with TripSearch

Booking quality hotels at affordable prices just got easier for Canadians.

This week, TravelAlerts.ca added a Hotel component to its popular TripSearch tool.

Every month, Canadians conduct over 100,000 searches on TripSearch to browse flights and pre-packaged vacations departing from their area on their preferred travel dates. Now, Canadians can enter their destination city and the dates they wish to travel and, with a simple click, receive hotel rate quotes from various online hotel providers, such as Expedia, Travelocity and CheapTickets.

"We saw a real need for TripSearch Hotels among our visitors," said Ellen Reid, Senior Editor at TravelAlerts.ca. "Our subscribers write to us saying they've found a flight on our website, but wonder where to find hotels. With TripSearch Hotels, visitors will be able to find flights AND hotels in a single visit to our website." Furthermore, providers are happy with the results: "TripSearch has already generated thousands of bookings for leading airlines and travel agencies and the new search criteria is going to provide even more qualified traffic to our clients", added Reid.
