WHERETOSTAY.COM LAUNCHES FREE LISTINGS FOR PROPERTIES AROUND THE WORLD

DALLAS, TX (Sept. 28, 2006)—WhereToStay.com, the ultimate travel resource for consumers searching "where to stay" on their next trip, welcomes hotels, villas and bed & breakfasts to sign-up for a FREE listing on WhereToStay.com to help bolster each property's direct bookings. This FREE listing on WhereToStay.com is available to properties around the globe, with the exception of the Caribbean region where the company launched its free listings campaign in the 1990's to help drive direct bookings to Caribbean properties.

"In 1995 we offered free memberships in the Caribbean which resulted in thousands of direct bookings each year. We are now launching this same free membership offer for all other regions of the world bringing commission-free direct bookings to property owners," said Thom Dunaway, founder and president of WhereToStay.com. "With an average of over 600,000 visitors each month, WhereToStay.com exposes more than 7.2 million potential guests to listed properties each year. We invite and encourage properties around the world to take advantage of our free membership offer to help generate awareness and increase direct bookings," he added.

To help members keep track of people who have "clicked" their information pages within the web site, WhereToStay.com utilizes a dynamic database to track all of the page views, reservation requests and links to a specific property's URL—numbers that member hotel properties can access at any time. In addition, monthly reports are sent to member properties so they can see the value of being featured on WhereToStay.com.

For more information or to sign-up for membership, owners or managers can log-on to extranet.WhereToStay.com/membership.php.
