Travelweb announced today that it has completed more than 1 million
merchant hotel bookings since opening its doors in 2002.“The Travelweb.com brand continues to grow in awareness as it adds
services, customers and bookings,” said Chris Soder, President of
Travelweb. “We also plan to broaden our hotel base by being open to
the participation of even more hotel properties in the U.S. and
abroad.”

Travelweb was founded by a group that included five of the
nation’s largest hotel chains - Hilton, Hyatt, InterContinental,
Marriott and Starwood. Today, Travelweb offers specially negotiated,
published-price rates for more than 13,000 hotel properties (including
its founding partners) in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico and the
Caribbean. The Travelweb.com Web site also offers a full lineup of
airline tickets, rental cars and vacation packages through links to
priceline.com. Priceline.com acquired majority ownership in
Travelweb.com in 2004.
