Comments Advertising Technology Transforms Travel Distribution: AboutAnywhere.com is a perfect example of this. We've taken the OTA model, meta search model, Facebook model, and Google Advertising model... mixed it all together, and created www.aboutanywhere.com. Any hotel in the world can create a free hotel profile online in AboutAnywhere.com, and link back to their own website for bookings. We charge 0% commission, and no fees at all for this service. It's like the Facebook of the hotel industry. If you want your hotel to appear in the first 5 search results, we offer those positions on a Pay Per Click basis. That's where we make our money. Other positions on the first page are also available for a fixed annual fee. We are the only hotel website where you can join and receive direct traffic and bookings for free. If a hotel spends ad dollars with a website that charges a commission for each booking, why not spend those ad dollars with a website that charges you nothing for each booking? We have been selected by Phocuswright as a participant in the Travel Innovation Summit in November.
