Cambridge 15 June 2005: Active Hotels, one of Europe’s leading online reservation providers owned by priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN) announced today that it intends to open a Paris office in July to support growth and development of its French operations.
The office will be staffed by sales and account management teams and will work in close cooperation with the UK-based French Customer Services, Sales and Distribution teams.
Active Hotels has a strong presence in France with over 2,500 partner hotels representing the second largest market for the company after the UK. The company believes that the move will ensure a more personalised and dedicated service for French hoteliers, partners and customers.
Severine Philardeau, Country Manager for France states: “This is an exciting time for Active Hotels, and we believe that the new Paris office will help us to realise our full potential in the French market. We started operations in France in 2002 and have experienced strong growth since then with prominent hotel chains such as Louvre Hotels, Balladins, Best Western, Choice Hotels and Logis de France signing up to our service and working with us to generate more online bookings. We have also forged successful partnerships with distribution partners such as Mappy.com, Eurotunnel and several tourist offices which we look forward to developing further through this local office.”
