LOS ANGELES, CA - November 20, 2007 - /PRNewswire/ -- Yellow Pages Corporation; operator of popular online YellowPages sites and telephone books including travel website aggregator YELLOWPAGES.travel; today announced the launch of its charity program where it will donate 15% of its net profits to multiple charities.
YellowPages Corporation, an entity that has been providing business directories for nearly 100 years has now stepped into the travel market with YELLOWPAGES.travel. The site is a tool that enables users to search the top 12 travel websites such as Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Kayak, HotWire, SideStep, Travelzoo and other major travel websites side by side on one screen without having to search each website individually.
Today, the company has announced a new charity program whereby YELLOWPAGES.travel will donate 15% of its net proceeds to multiple charitable organizations. The company enables users of its site to recommend a charity of their choice. If one particular charity is submitted numerous times, the company will consider adding that charity to its list. Users are able to vote for the charity of their choice as well. They may do so by going to this link: www.YELLOWPAGES.travel/Charity. Each user can only vote once as the company captures the IP address of each vote and does not allow that IP address to vote again.
As of today, the company will be donating to several well known charities such as the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center. According to Matt Richards, a company spokesperson; "If consumers are considering using a travel website, why not use one that searches all of them? Each travel website gives different prices and availability for the same flight and hotel. Therefore, they each need to be searched. But who has the time? YELLOWPAGES.travel does all the work with one click and to top it off we donate 15% of our net earnings to charities that could really use the money to benefit society. Users can search all 12 major travel sites instantly and donate to important charities at the same time."
Currently, YellowPages services in the United States now include YELLOWPAGES.travel and YELLOWPAGES.com along with 1-800-YELLOWPAGES provided by AT&T.
