Local.com Corporation has added online booking capabilities and travel-related content to its Local.com site.

The site is offering an option to book flights, hotels, cruises, rental cars and other travel-related services powered by Expedia with online travel company being the exclusive travel partner to Local.com.

Expedia will also provide extensive travel-related content including thousands of vacation packages, flights, hotels, cruises, car rental and destination services, which will be integrated into Local.com’s search results as part of the second phase of the project expected later this year. Also, Local.com will offer Expedia’s hotel-related content, including detailed hotel property descriptions, user ratings, photos and pricing information.

“Our users inherently search for local travel-related services including hotels and other destination-oriented information. Now they will be able to not only search for these services, but actually book travel transactions directly,” said Peter Hutto, VP Sales and Business Development, Local.com. Hutto added that the site is focusing upon providing users “the best possible experience through world-class content, feature-rich search tools and targeted, highly relevant local search results.”
