Founder and director Martin Chiazza said the website, unveiled at WTM, already offers some 70,000 hotels supplied by XML feeds from a range of partners including GTA as well as rates direct from hotels.

GDS connectivity is also on the cards and the company has been talking to Galileo about a potential tie-up.

He added that the company has more than 150 URLS based on go4 plus a city name and then hotels, which will help the company be picked up naturally the search engines.

A pay-per-click campaign via Google has also begun.
