And separately:

With the introduction of new Expedia(R) Special Rates, travelers who used to have to call to haggle over hotel room rates can now rest easy when they book their hotel stays through the award-winning Expedia.com(TM) travel service (http://www.expedia.com). These new hotel rates arrive as part of a site redesign that makes the site cleaner, introduces new navigation to help consumers get the best out of online travel planning and that rolls out comprehensive cruise ship reviews.

The Expedia Special Rates provide discounts of up to 70 percent off standard rates at nearly 1,500 hotels in 240 cities and complement the variety of regular rates in the existing Expedia hotel directory of nearly 50,000 properties around the world. As a result, for the first time, Expedia, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPE) offers customers a full array of hotel choices on a single screen.
