Cendant Internet Group, a unit of Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD), today announced that the Company’s subsidiary, WizCom International, Ltd. (“WizCom”), has recently completed agreements with major hotel chains and reservations companies that will provide these firms with enhanced services such as seamless connectivity to the major Global Distribution Systems (GDSs). Several customers also agreed to use TravelWiz, WizCom’s Internet booking engine that enables hotel companies to process real-time reservations at the hotel’s own Web site.

Adam’s Mark Hotels and Resorts, which operates twenty-one hotels in thirteen states, and Classic International Hotels, a European hotel corporation with 325 member hotels located throughout Europe, added the WizCom TravelWiz Internet Booking Engine to their respective Web sites. TravelWiz is transparent to the consumer and supports the identity of a specific hotel brand, allowing the consumer to use the service without appearing to leave the hotel Web site. “WizCom’s TravelWiz Internet booking engine has been chosen by many of our customers as a preferred distribution solution to make hotel reservations just a click away. They choose TravelWiz because it allows them to retain control over the look and feel of their Web sites.”

Jolly Hotels, Italy’s largest hotel chain with over 40 properties in Italy and other destinations including Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and New York, has agreed to implement the newest version of WizCom’s Wizdom Plus Central Reservation System (CRS), which provides Jolly Hotels with Internet and GDS connectivity options, enhanced voice booking capabilities and seamless connectivity to its Web site.
