Travel Intelligence and Trade Doubler Enter into Partnership: Luxury Hotel Provider Opens up Stock to Affiliates through Europe's Largest Affiliate Network

    LONDON, ENGLAND, October 10, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Leading luxury hotel provider Travel Intelligence is expanding its affiliate offering for UK businesses - offering an introductory market-leading 8% commission - through a new partnership with TradeDoubler.

The announcement comes following the company's launch of its new website in August 2009. The new agreement with TradeDoubler - Europe's largest affiliate network - is designed to open the portfolio of Travel Intelligence hotels to a new sector of online businesses looking for alternative revenue streams.

Ed Goldswain, Head of Marketing at TravelIntelligence.com, said of the move: "In the current market increasing numbers of online businesses are recognising the potential of becoming an affiliate to generate incremental revenue. TravelIntelligence.com is the market-leading luxury and boutique hotel website, and with our high average booking value and market leading commission offer of 8%, we're confident we can support increased revenue to affiliates who sign up to our TradeDoubler program. What's more, with an easy to integrate and track solution, becoming an affiliate has never been simpler."

Travel Intelligence was voted one of Times Online's Top Travel Sites in 2008, and has a portfolio of over 1,900 luxury and boutique hotels bookable online - from major chains to individual boutique hotels.

Through the partnership with TradeDoubler, any affiliate can now feature a Travel Intelligence banner on their website, which visitors click on to make their hotel booking. All reservations are made through the Travel Intelligence site, with clear tracking and reporting of booking figures and commission levels.

Lara Kelly, Client Services Director of TradeDoubler adds: "We are very pleased to welcome Tavel Intelligence to the TradeDoubler network. With the travel sector hit hard by the recession, affiliate marketing is the most cost-effective channel for driving revenues as you only pay for the sales made. As we approach the peak season for travel sales, this is a perfect time to launch the Travel Intelligence programme and, with commission rates of 8%, we look forward to working on what will no doubt be a very successful programme."
