SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- 07/06/09 --
Travel search site Skyscanner has
launched new hotel search functionality at
http://www.skyscanner.net/hotels. Powered by HotelsCombined, the hotel
search function allows Skyscanner users to search over 200,000 hotels
across 195 countries, comparing prices from the biggest suppliers in the
business such as Holiday Inn, Hilton, Booking.com, Hotels.com and
LateRooms.com.
Frank Skivington, commercial VP for Skyscanner, said, "As well as finding
the cheapest flights and car hire, now Skyscanner users can find the
cheapest hotels too. It's all part of the strategy for Skyscanner to become
a one stop shop for travel, building on our already immensely popular
flight search engine."
Skivington added, "Industry expertise was the foundation for the
partnership. We wanted to ensure we partnered with a provider that
understood the complexities of travel price comparison. HotelsCombined's
knowledge is comprehensive, their private branding solution flexible and
they offer currency and language facilities to cater to the worldwide
market."
Yury Shar, Managing Director of HotelsCombined, welcomed the new
partnership: "We are extremely pleased to partner with Skyscanner. This
partnership offers tremendous benefits to Skyscanners' users who can now
search and find the perfect accommodation deal by comparing the best travel
sites. For our supplier partners this is an exciting distribution expansion
made seamless by the sophistication of HotelsCombined's advanced
partnership platform."
