HotelClub Unveils New Corporate Identity

    /24-7PressRelease/ - November 02, 2007 - Leading accommodation e-wholesaler, HotelClub (previously trading as Flairview Travel) has today revealed its new corporate brand identity as well as new features for HotelClub.com.

From today, Flairview Travel will trade as HotelClub and will continue to operate its three highly successful accommodation specialist websites: HotelClub.com; RatesToGo.com and asia-hotels.com. The decision to re-brand the trading name has come in association with HotelClub's Chicago based parent, Orbitz Worldwide, and demonstrates the powerful family grouping of companies created under this newly NYSE listed company.

Each of the retail brand sites operated by HotelClub has been refreshed with an evolutionary appearance featuring a new brand logo incorporating a common "Globe". The Globe conveys HotelClub's worldwide business environment as well as the borderless realm of the Internet. The Globe provides an easily identifiable brand icon linking all brands as well as communicating a modern and energetic tone. The Globe also provides a clear demonstration, to customers of each brand, of the family association between the HotelClub businesses.

Commenting on the new look, Managing Director, HotelClub, Chloe Lim said "By aligning the name and appearance of our organization with our brands, HotelClub presents itself to customers, partners & suppliers in a dynamic, contemporary and unified fashion. The core of our business remains unchanged - to provide a flexible and easy-to-use portal for consumers worldwide to get the best hotel stay...at the best rate...and to reward them for it...through our unique Membership Rewards program."

"The common element of the new HotelClub Globe allows us to portray our truly worldwide business - we have customers from over 230 countries, accommodation options across 120 countries and now over 4.7 million satisfied customers."

As part of our continuous improvement program, in the coming months HotelClub will deliver a series of user enhancements in association with the realignment of the business branding program. These improvements are a result of extensive research and usability testing and take advantage of the valued insights derived from HotelClub customers since our launch in 1996.

"Providing an outstanding customer experience is something we at HotelClub.com pride ourselves on. With our new improved features, customers will be able to search and book their hotel stay even more efficiently. Information such as rates & consumer reviews will be displayed more prominently, enabling an informed purchase decision," said Chloe Lim, Managing Director, HotelClub.
