FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Intergy launches new Group Booking service for hotels worldwide with BookYourGroup.com

Halifax, 19th May, 2007 - According to a recent travel study by PhoCusWright, the group and meeting industry will represent $175 billion by the year 2008. With a team of fully bilingual staff speaking English and French, non-traditional working-hours, and Maritime Hospitality on their side; BookYourGroup.com strives to be a leader in the group-reservations industry.

Whether your travel needs take you from Athabasca to Albuquerque, the dedicated team at BookYourGroup.com will compile rates from various properties to give you the best possible options to meet your group travel needs. Let them do the work for you! Should you have multiple locations, perhaps you are a team traveling from one end of the Continent to the other; let them use their time to make your arrangements.

The BookYourGroup.com website went live Monday January 29, 2007. With hundreds of leads coming already resulting in actualized stays, project-lead Melanie Holmden is very proud of just how far this has come.

“From sports teams to wedding parties and everything in between; groups have various needs! We want to be able to build relationships with the group conveners.  We want them to rest assured that we will find them the right rate, at the right hotel, on their preferred night. It is very time consuming to call multiple hotels and shop rates. This is what we do best! There is nothing better than hearing from a bride after her big event thanking us for taking all that work off her shoulders”, says Holmden.
 
The second phase for the site, slated for fall 2007, will see clients being able to build their own mini-webpage. This will allow conveners to post event information, directions, pictures, itineraries, and send out e-invites. A blog section in this webpage will see attendees be able to communicate back and forth. Ideal for today’s tech-savvy travelers!

BookYourGroup.com is a fresh and bright website with pictures of grinning soccer players and laughing newlyweds. The bright blue letters easily instruct users how to begin booking their group reservations. It’s a simple fill-in-the-blanks process, offering a 48 business hours or earlier response time. One of its key attributes however is the availability to speak to a live-person if preferred.
