, a provider of online reservations to the European hotel industry, has just become an approved on-line reservation provider for large French hotel group CitÌ«tel.

All Cit™tel hotels have been carefully selected to provide good value, quality accommodation in many of France’s main cities.  Each hotel has its own style and character and is located to enable visitors to appreciate the best that France has to offer.  Herve Lasbouygues, Administrator for Cit™tel, comments, “I am confident that working with Active Hotels will increase our online visibility and deliver more reservations.  Active Hotels’ online reservation system provides a competitive and reliable service that is easy to use.  Active Hotels provides our network of hotels with increased visibility and opens up an entirely new distribution channel for our rooms.”
