[iBooking.com] November 13th. 2007

iBooking.com are delighted to have a new partnership in the Caribbean. Operating initially in Tobago, one of the most southerly Caribbean islands, the new reseller relationship with portal operator "Holiday In Tobago" opens up a whole new market for iBooking products. Within the first 3 weeks of the partnership, more than 25 new hotels are live with bookings being generated both from the holidayintobago.com portal and from hotel and villa-owned web sites.

The partnership is already exploring opportunities throughout the Caribbean with inroads being made into Grenada and The Dominican Republic.

Current research indicates that websites without a real-time reservations facility lose 20% of potential online bookers. A hotel's own website can generate 5 times as many reservations as third party websites.

Small businesses are embracing online marketing, with 69% viewing Web sites as essential tools for bringing in business.
