(Ventura, CA) - June 16, 2005
As record numbers of travelers make their reservations on the Internet, the Affinity Group, Inc. (AGI) is taking a huge step to modernize RV and campground bookings. Known as the leader in RV and outdoor recreation, AGI has entered into an agreement with DigitalRez International to develop an online reservation system for Trailer Life and Woodall's.
Woodall's and Trailer Life have commissioned DigitalRez to develop a central reservation system for the two Web sites, tldirectory.com and woodalls.com. The reservation system has an anticipated launch date of January 2006. Both directories and Web sites feature comprehensive and searchable databases of RV parks and campgrounds throughout North America. Each also features detailed rating systems that help RVers and campers chose a destination that fits their needs.
Woodall's is celebrating 70 years of service and is one of the most comprehensive RV park and campground directories in the market. Trailer Life Directory features Good Sam Parks, which offer discounts to Good Sam Club members that number nearly one million. The Trailer Life Directory lists all Good Sam discount locations and full details for over 1,000,000 RV park sites in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The Woodall's Campground Directory is the official directory of the Family Motor Coach Association, Camping World's President Club and Family Campers and RVers. The Trailer Life RV Parks, Campgrounds & Services Directory is a one-stop resource for complete campground and RV Park information at a glance.
This is the second time that AGI has signed DigitalRez to develop an online reservation system. Tripsetter, an online reservation platform, was designed for Coast to Coast Resorts to accommodate Trip Points and interface with the CampResorts' inventory allotments. Tripsetter is currently serving the 150,000 Coast to Coast Resort members.
