Travel Corporation plc ('OTC'), to provide online booking on its forthcoming
Travel Channel. Currently telegraph.co.uk offers browsers up to the minute

destination, type of travel, cost and length of stay. Holidays can also be
selected by a variety of categories such as activity, adventure, honeymoons,
skiing, city breaks or even shopping.


'This new deal will strengthen the Telegraph's position on the net as a travel
provider,' said Alex Hole, sales manager, telegraph.co.uk. 'OTC will provide

up the phone or move from their desk. All the research and transactions will
be done at the click of a mouse.'

synonymous with travel and we will offer telegraph.co.uk users a full online
travel service supported by our call centre. The telegraph.co.uk user profile
is ideally suited to the new bespoke travel booking module we expect to have
available for the launch.'
