The thousands of hotels and car rental locations that VIP represents to the global travel professional and travel consumer benefit from an added reservation channel provided at no charge through CarsAndHotels.com. All of VIP's hotels and car rental locations are given preferential treatment on the site, as they are the only locations listed in the pull-down preference menu, and are highlighted with their specific chain logos. Additionally, VIP clients are listed with brief descriptions on a click-to page off of the Web site's front page, providing consumers with an informed choice of hotels and rental car companies. VIP is working to ensure that CarsAndHotels.com is listed on all major search engines.
