Expedia and IHG sign on new long-term agreement

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) and Expedia have entered into a multi-year agreement under which consumers can now book IHG hotels on Expedia sites globally.

The agreement will see the addition of more than 3700 hotels across all IHG brands to the hotel selection on Expedia sites world-wide.

IHG senior vice president of distribution marketing Eric Pearson said: "IHG continually seeks to extend the reach of our brands to deliver our customers additional convenience in booking their accommodations and we are delighted to work with Expedia in such a way that will greatly benefit our guests".

IHG will also act as the launch partner for Expedia's new media-based pricing model, which will blend transaction pricing with media pricing based on specific IHG properties in Expedia.com and hotels.com search results.

Expedia Partner Services Group president for Expedia North America Paul Brown said: "We believe that our new media-based pricing model is truly ground-breaking in its ability to help our hotel partners maximize both their exposure to, and transactions from, the highly qualified customers in Expedia, Inc.'s global marketplace".

IHG properties will be available on Expedia Corporate Travel by December 2007, with all participating hotels becoming available on Expedia.com and hotels.com branded sites globally in 2008.
