Choice Cruising - Desk Chair Traveller, p. 148

In the US, the Internet has been a boon for the travel industry, since it is well networked and there are a lot of last-minute aeroplane seats and hotel rooms to fill at discounted rates. In Asia, we are still waiting for comparable services. For hotel rooms, though, www.asia.hotels.com, has certainly held its own selling space in more than 1,300 hotels and resorts. Covering virtually everywhere in the greater region, from little-visited Brunei and outback Australia to major urban centres like Japan and HongKong, the site offers some of the cheapest room prices around. It also makes it very easy to locate what you need: you can search according to price range, location, hotel chain as well as many other categories. Plus, in order to get a better understanding of where you are heading, you can read previous customer comments on hotels and city information.
