TakeTours upgrades hotel offerings and takes 5% off for September bookings

Sept. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- TakeTours.com is pleased to announce the addition of hundreds of new listings to their hotel reservation service (http://www.taketours.com/hotel). Responding to customer demand for room options in more cities across the United States, TakeTours has increased their offerings in major cities as well as smaller market areas. These new listings include options in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Orlando, Las Vegas, and more. In celebration of the improved hotel listings, TakeTours.com is taking 5% off all hotel bookings made in September.

In addition to these new hotel offerings, visitors will enjoy attractive room rates that are among the best on the internet, as well as a more robust functionality related to room selection. Visitors will now be able to search for hotels by selecting their preferred amenities, star rating, and even the distance to the nearest airport. They can also browse hotels ranging from award-winning 5-star establishments to more budget-friendly properties, and everything in-between. Photos of each new hotel will show room layouts as well as common areas, enabling visitors to select the room that is most appropriate for their needs.

“These enhanced and expanded hotel listings and related improvements in site functionality have been a priority for TakeTours since the site launched in March," says Jimmy Chen, CEO of TakeTours. "More importantly, we will be able to offer our customers significant discounts over competitors' published rates, which we hope will further enhance our reputation as a leader in budget-friendly travel."
