Info-hotels-online, is a subsidiary of Infotours Inc., a Canadian company founded in Montréal, in 1997. Infotours specialises in developing software programs and Internet solutions that simplify the work of the travel agents.

In 1997, the company launches Infotours, its first software program, offering then 500 pages of useful information on 32 sun destinations. The agent was able to print approximately 20 pages of information on a chosen destination, customise the document under the logo of its travel agency and add it to the client's ticket jacket along with its plane tickets. At the end of 1997, Infotours has approximately 75 clients located in the Montréal area.

In 1998 and 1999, Infotours raises the content of its program to 1,400 pages of useful information on 134 international destinations. At the end of 1999, Infotours totals approximately 350 clients, all in the Province of Québec, Canada.

In early 1999, Infotours launches Info-Hotels, its second software program, offering then 1,200 pictures and descriptions of close to 100 hotels located in 25 sun destinations (approximately 12 pictures per hotel).

Since Info-Hotels displays more pictures per hotel than any tour operator's brochure, the travel agent is therefore in a better position to help its clients. It also allows the agent to familiarise with new hotels yet not visited on FAM trips or personal travel, and facilitate any sale.

In 1999 and 2000, Infotours adds 5,000 new pictures to its program and by the end of 2000, totals more than 6,500 pictures on more than 300 hotels located in 39 sun destinations. Presently, each hotel offers an average of 22 photos, 10 more than it was offering in 1999.

During that same period of time, the number of travel agencies using the Infotours and Info-Hotels programs has raised from 350 to 650. Our client base has now spread across Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver.

In January 2001, following numerous requests from our clients, Infotours introduces Info-hotels-online.com. Offering the best four pictures and descriptions of each hotel in its Info-Hotels program, this E-brochure may be linked to the website of travel agencies wishing to offer a visual content to their clients and therefore simplify the sales of their leisure packages to Net surfers and clients visiting their website.

In June 2001, more than 2,000 new pictures were taken in 150 hotels located in Paris and will be added to Info-Hotels and to Info-hotels-online.com.
