 On
April 3, 2006, Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) announced an exclusive and
long-term relationship with BedandBreakfast.com, bringing a wide range of
quality B&B offerings to Expedia travelers, something no other online travel
agency has provided. Eric Goldreyer, president and founder of
BedandBreakfast.com explained that: "Expedia has always been the leader in
bringing the most diverse lodging choices to consumers. B&Bs provide a
unique lodging experience with incredible service in some of the most
desirable locations in the world. With this partnership, travelers will find
it easier than ever to book the perfect bed-and-breakfast getaway, and B&Bs
will find it easier than ever to market their outstanding properties to a
wide base of travelers who may never have enjoyed the B&B experience.”
This relationship will make BedandBreakfast.com the exclusive B&B aggregator
for Expedia, Inc. and Expedia will be the B&B provider’s exclusive online
travel agent. In the coming months, Expedia will begin featuring
BedandBreakfast.com’s inventory across the Expedia and hotels.com websites,
delivering unprecedented traveler access to B&Bs, as well as unmatched
exposure for these smaller properties.
Expedia and BedandBreakfast.com will be seamlessly linked for rates,
availability and bookings. Small properties will be able to easily sell
through the Expedia websites and gain access to a large audience of
consumers without adding a lot of work at the property level. B&Bs will be
able to manage content, rates and availability for all Expedia websites in
one place on BedandBreakfast.com. Unlike programs offered by other online
travel companies, BedandBreakfast.com’s Online Reservation Manager was
designed specifically to meet the needs of small properties.
“We are very excited about this partnership,” said Paul Brown, president,
Partner Services Group, Expedia, Inc. “BedandBreakfast.com is an excellent
channel of distribution for B&Bs, and we are thrilled to provide our
customers these additional lodging offerings.”
“This deal brings an expanded selection of unique lodgings in destinations
such as Napa Valley, Cape Cod and Newport, RI, that are primarily served by
B&Bs, which were previously unavailable on any other large online travel
site,” said Dan Proctor, vice president, specialty lodging, Expedia, Inc.

"The site is great--very easy to navigate city to city and find B&Bs. I
really like the 'nearby cities' listings. One area you could
improve would be to encourage more places listed to accept your gift
certificates."
