A Revolutionary Travel Service is Launched in Whistler

Canada’s Leading Resort Destination

Whistler, B.C. — January 10, 2008 — Guestfolio Communications Inc. (Guestfolio) today announced a powerful web and content service that will elevate service standards to confirmed hotel guests before their arrival in Whistler by providing them with knowledge to ease their travel planning.

Guestfolio is a web service with web 2.0 design and functionality. The service connects with a hotel’s reservation system and begins an on-going communication process with a confirmed guest through engaging, customized emails, along with the invitation to view a private Guestfolio website portal loaded with insider knowledge and advice.

“Guestfolio is the same as sitting down with a local before you arrive and asking key questions about Whistler,” says Duane Hepditch, founder of Guestfolio. “It’s honest, insider information that a resident would share with you so you will receive the most out of your vacation.”

Excellent customer service is considered one of the paramount assets which Whistler offers guests according to survey results. Guestfolio takes it up a notch. “Guestfolio is a perfect extension of a hotel’s customer service program,” says Hepditch. “It greets and informs guests immediately after they book their stay in Whistler, and it guides them through everything they need to know about the resort before they get here. No other web service offers that.”

After guests confirm their reservation with a participating hotel, they receive an email for a short survey to determine their needs and interests. Then, guests will be directed to the appropriate information. For example, travelling with children? They can learn about family-friendly restaurants and children’s activities provided by long-time residents who share their Whistler favorites.

The company behind Guestfolio has over 10 years’ experience developing brands and web products for Whistler businesses. Guestfolio was created based on a common problem of finding relevant, honest, and useful information on one site when researching a confirmed travel destination.

“There are numerous travel destination guides on the internet, but they are all trying to sell you something, and you don’t know if they’re legitimate or not,” says Mark Edmondson, Technical Architect of Guestfolio. “With Guestfolio, guests can trust the information because it’s coming from the hotel they have already established a connection with. It’s brilliant,” he added.

Guestfolio is available to hotel or property managers in Whistler. The company is working on relationships in other Canadian cities and resorts.
