Swiftrank Expands Presence in Middle Eastern Markets With New 'Featured Hotel' Clients in Israel

Online, May 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Leading online global travel network Swiftrank today announced its first direct hotel client partnerships in the historic cities of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, expanding its presence in these key Middle Eastern travel markets. Swiftrank's new partnerships with Dan Hotels Israel, Rimonim Hotels & Resorts, and the Inbal Jerusalem Hotel give these hotels premium positioning on eight of Swiftrank's destination-specific websites.

Dan Hotels is the largest luxury hotel group in Israel. They manage the iconic King David Hotel, one of the most well-known hotels in the country. Twelve of the 14 Dan hotels, two Rimonim properties, and the Inbal Jerusalem Hotel are now part of the Swiftrank Featured Hotel Program.

Like all of Swiftrank's Featured Hotels, these properties will be given premium positioning on both the home pages and interior pages of Swiftrank's destination websites. In addition, Swiftrank provides Featured Hotels with direct links to the properties' websites and booking engines, driving highly profitable direct bookings. Swiftrank caps the number of hotels listed on each site, ensuring that Featured Hotels receive maximum exposure to prospective guests.

Swiftrank's newly contracted properties in Israel are all featured on JerusalemHotels.com, TelAvivHotels.com, and a number of other location-based sites, including sites in Haifa and Eilat. These content-rich websites are part of Swiftrank's cloud-based network of more than 12,000 travel-related websites. The sites offer consumers an interactive hub for market-specific travel planning, including upcoming events, popular local attractions, and curated tips from dedicated local bloggers.

"We are delighted to welcome Dan Hotels Israel, Rimonim Hotels and the Inbal Jerusalem Hotel to our global network as Featured Hotels in Israel," says Swiftrank CEO Sue Heilbronner. "We look forward to providing these well-known properties with incremental global visibility and revenue through the program."
