myHotelVideo is a free travel community for holidaymakers and travel agents. myHotelVideo has users around the world, is available in 11 different languages and already comprises over 35,000 clips and videos.

At www.myhotelvideo.com/travellers can watch clips and video reports about hotels from around the world, as well as publish their own videos (often even for monetary compensation). They can thereby form an impression of the hotel where they will spend their next holiday, and its surrounding area, or pass their impressions of their last holiday on to a third party.

As a GIATA customer and travel agent you can register free of charge at www.myhotelvideo.com/ and evaluate or describe in detail the hotels you have visited as an agent, or simply on holiday, in an Expert Rating. You can also upload any videos you have made. As the first B-C portal, myHotelVideo offers travel agents the opportunity to share their expert knowledge and experience with people around the world, as a member of an online travel community, and possibly even to profit directly in the form of bookings.

- publish company details (address, telephone numbers, email, website)
