ResAvenue lists your hotel inventory on a number of websites such as Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, WorldRes, CNN Traveller, Continental Airlines, Lastminute.com, Hotwire, Travelweb.com, hotels.com and 2000 other travel websites.

Each travel website has its own listing procedure and requirements. Therefore, the time take to get listed will differ depending on the website.
