This module allows the creation of a Directory of Hotels, Motels, Bed and Breakfasts and other Accommodations so that travelers can search and find suitable Accomodation in any particular Area.
The Hospitality industry is well represented over the internet but it is not easy to find the telephone number, website and email address for lodgings.
Search engine results include many hotel reservation services and affiliated websites but actual hotel websites, names, official contacts, phone numbers, and hotel e-mail address are not easily found.
In fact sometimes hotel search results do not provide the required official hotel contact details at all.
This module takes care of that shortcoming and provides all of the above!
