When did you start Discount Hotel Reservation website and why?

Discount Hotel Reservation website with www.deskbell.com domain name was created and went online in 2004. Since then the task of this website has been to provide connection to different hotel reservation distribution systems and eventually to provide the cheapest hotel rates available.

Please give us a short summary of Discount Hotel Reservation

It is mainly a hotel directory that can be browsed geographically and lists all the hotels for each available destination, this is the first distinguishing feature as this is not always possible with other reservation systems, i.e. with other reservation systems you are often forced to use the search form and have no access to the hotel list. The hotels featured are fed from different sources, the different Global Distribution Systems and other international booking systems, this is why sometimes one hotel is listed more than once while visitors are allowed to check rates available for each listing. In addition to this a search form for each destination will help visitors with more sophisticated functions serching for hotel availability and sorting out esults by rates, rating, distance from places, etc.

What are your views on ecommerce and the future of online hotel reservations?

Generally ecommerce has developped a lot in the last few years but we can see much more happening in the near future. Online hotel reservations proved one of the most successful area for the ecommerce, actually a pioneers field. We are looking forward to see more companies integrating ecommerce in their business model and to move more quickly from "Brochure" type websites to interactive ecommerce. Hotels have already been doing this and it is now necessary for hotels to work with distribution systems and with their own interactive website for hotel reservations.
