TravelCLICK enjoys revenue boost

Hotel Booking TravelCLICK's eMonitor results for the fourth quarter of 2005 show that worldwide electronic hotel revenue from the Global Distribution Systems and key Internet sites combined was up 10.9%.

The commissions are set at 30% of the industry standard commission received from the hotel or travel vendor on room revenue produced. The industry standard hotel commission can fluctuate depending on the size of the group, but typically is about 10% of the total room revenue. For instance, in July 2004, our average affiliate payment was $263.00 per booking. Our affiliate payments are a lot higher than most hotel reservation websites because group bookings encapsulate much more room revenue.

HotelPlanner.com will pay a 10% commission on hotel room revenue produced to all Travel Agents for group bookings processed through HotelPlanner.com minus our third party transaction fee of 5% of hotel room revenue produced. In the case an affiliate of Lexyl Travel Technologies, Inc. is credited for the group booking, the Travel Agent commission may be reduced in order to compensate the affiliate. This third party transaction fee will include all hotel rate and information procurement, as well as database and website maintenance, in addition to commission collections performed by HotelPlanner.com. The hotel is only responsible for paying 10% commission as stated above on actualized room revenue produced. If the hotel fails to pay the commission, HotelPlanner.com cannot be held liable for the unpaid commission. Travel Agent bookings are not eligible for any other rebates or cash back promotions through the HotelPlanner.com system.
