Press Release Body: Top 20 Travel Agent*, directline-holidays.co.uk has added video
content to its website in the form of hotel guides. Visitors to
www.directline-holidays.co.uk will be able to view videos of its 1,000 most popular
hotels after completing a holiday search. Another 1,000 are being filmed in summer
2008.

The videos, produced by Trailstream, are each around 1 minute in length and
currently appear on the most commonly searched hotels at directline-holidays.co.uk,
ranging from 2 - 5 star properties. After completing a holiday search, users are
able to see firsthand what their hotel and its surrounding areas will look like.

directline-holidays.co.uk sales director Matthew Flint said: "We are delighted to
provide video content for the top 1,000 hotels we feature. This is a real step
forward and will make us stand out even further from the crowd."

With video content, you can gain a real insight into a hotel, its facilities and
immediate surroundings. Most importantly, this feature will help customers to answer
the significant question of whether that holiday is right for them."

The video guides which have been produced to broadcast standards by Trailstream, not
only allow customers to view the hotel, both inside and out, but also enable them to
hear about its amenities, room facilities, how suitable it is for couples or
families with young children, as well as information on the hotel cuisine and
whether it is well situated for local attractions.

Trailstream Managing Director Dave Howard said: "Until now high quality video
content has been the preserve of only the largest tour operators, but because of our
investment, leading online travel agencies such as directline-holidays.co.uk can now
exploit compelling video content, and truly convey the holiday experience to their
own visitors. The videos have been produced using professional film crews, filmed in
HD and are delivered from a world class Content Delivery Network."
