New TripAdvisor Business Listings Put Hotels, Inns and B&Bs One Click Away From Travelers
NEWTON, Mass., Jan. 5 2010, TripAdvisor®, the world’s most trusted source of travel advice, today launched Business Listings, enabling accommodations to add their url, telephone number and e-mail address to their TripAdvisor listing. The listings are a new opportunity for property managers to directly connect to millions of researching travelers, converting potential customers to paying guests. Innkeepers, B&B owners and hoteliers can sign up for TripAdvisor Business Listings at http://www.tripadvisor.com/businesslistings.
TripAdvisor Business Listings are offered on a flat-fee subscription basis, with a cost that varies according to an accommodation’s number of rooms. One-year subscriptions begin at $600 per year in the U.S., and those properties that purchase before January 31, 2010 will receive a 50 percent discount on their first year’s subscription.
“TripAdvisor has been a long-time partner of Affinia Hotels. We are excited to participate in the new Business Listings service. We were able to track outstanding returns and look forward to a full year of successes together” said John Moser, chief brand and marketing officer of Denihan Hospitality Group.
“TripAdvisor Business Listings shorten the distance between travelers and hoteliers to just one click,” said Nathan Clapton, vice president of partnerships for TripAdvisor. “January is perennially one of the most active travel research months of the year, and the 50 percent introductory offer allows hoteliers to take advantage of the high January traffic and lock-in a great price for the entire year.”
