OPEN Interactive will enable hoteliers currently engaged in long term agreements with other third party booking engines to take advantage of OPEN's comprehensive suite of products without their current booking engine requirement. The recent move complements the existing range of leading web solutions that has put OPEN in the forefront.

Marion Hughes, whose previous experience includes posts at Open World, WorldchoiceTravel.com (a division of Travelocity.com ) and Lexington Rep Services, as well as various positions in hotels and advertising, has been named Vice President of OPEN Interactive.

"This new division is a natural progression for us and comes in response to several requests from hoteliers. Since the beginning OPEN has been dedicated to providing clients best-of-breed web design, SEO and email marketing services. It made sense for us to begin making these key services more readily available to the industry as a whole", said David Millili, OPEN's Ceo. “Marion’s background, combined with her extensive industry knowledge, will prove invaluable to the success of the new division.” added Millili.

"The quality of OPEN Hospitality's solutions is but one of the reasons I am excited about this." said Marion Hughes. "Hotels need innovative and cost efficient ways of increasing their revenues. OPEN responds to today's hotelier with technology and solutions that are relevant in this expanding marketplace."
