InterContinental Hotels Group
and Expedia have entered into a multi-year agreement under which consumers can now book IHG hotels on
Expedia sites globally. The agreement will result in the addition of more than 3,700 hotels across all IHG brands, including InterContinental
Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites, to the hotel
selection on Expedia and hotels.com branded points of sale globally, as well as
Hotwire and Expedia Corporate Travel.
"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," said Eric Pearson, senior vice president,
Distribution Marketing, IHG.
As a further testament to the relationship, IHG is participating as the launch partner for Expedia's new media-based pricing model. The
dynamic, two-part economic model will blend transaction pricing with media pricing based on clicks on specific IHG properties in
Expedia.com and hotels.com search results.
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.
