informative and value-added service to users of the AA's website.
"The asia-hotels.com site contains a wealth of information that is extremely
useful for travellers to Asia," Mr Bakker said. "It also ties in well with Hong
Kong International Airport, which offers scheduled services to virtually all of
the countries listed on the site."
"Hong Kong International Airport is one of the most advanced airports in the
world handling millions of travellers every year," stated Jon Stonham, CEO of
asia-hotels.com. " We are thrilled to work with AA to provide its users with an
independent and efficient booking service for hotels."
