Industry: Travel
Hotels.com and Expedia have announced the opening of their new
Ireland office which is located in Dublin. This latest opening will
mean that the Irish hotel supply relationships for both brands,
Hotels.com and its parent company Expedia Inc - the world's leading
online travel company, will now both be run from this new office.
The new move is part of Hotels.com's continued commitment to the Irish market to
provide locally based ground support for its Irish partners across the travel and
hospitality sector. The Dublin office will be home to the new Irish market
management team who will now be based in the Irish capital for the first time.
Senior Market Manager, Orla Lee, will oversee operations throughout the country but
will also maintain a specific focus on Dublin, Galway and Belfast. Orla will be
supported by Market Manager Veronika Beckers, who will take on responsibility for
regional Ireland, and Revenue Specialist, Elizabeth O'Connor.
Seamus MacCormaic, Director of Market Management for UK and Ireland, Hotels.com and
Expedia, commented: "Ireland is incredibly important to Hotels.com and Expedia
both as a destination and a market. We are pleased to be in a position to open this
office, giving locally based support to our hotel partners throughout the country
and continuing to build Ireland as a destination for our customers across the
globe."
Hotels.com currently has more than 70 sites across the world offering an unbeatable
choice of more than 110,000 quality hotels, B&Bs and serviced apartments in hundreds
of destinations.
