Web bookings soar at Accor

Some 4.2 million room nights, equivalent to 170 hotels a day, were booked online at Accor hotels during the first eight months of 2003, the French-owned company said this week. The figure represents a 60% increase on last year.

Room nights booked through Accor's own websites accounted for 85% of total online bookings, with only 15% booked through online distributors.
