Stay tuned for more news. TVtrip is currently building a truly unique global catalogue of professional hotel videos in the main 100 key city destinations. The increasing traffic on our sites leads us to believe that users like the idea of unbiased professional videos when they need to book a room. Videos that are produced by the hotels are often perceived by the users to be too commercial and sales oriented. Like you said, there are certainly other vendors doing a great job out there to establish video as a “must have” in the online travel industry. Marc @ TVtrip Michael,
