Hotel World Maps brings 60,000 hotels to Google Map

WorldMap displays 60,000+ blue hotel pins on a global, interactive Google Map. Let’s say your interested in travelling to the Charlevoix area in Quebec, a hidden jewel. You locate the area of interest via a search tool, then click the blue pin of interest to you. The Charlevoix shows three hotels: Econolodge La Malbaie, La Pinsonniere and Fairmont de Manoir Richelieu. A click of a pin and you see the name of the hotel, a photo of the hotel and links to more photos, and a link to the hotel’s website. This is a very visual way of locating hotels.
Similar maps exist (see: Barcelona Available Apartments Map) but the advantage with the WorldMap website is the number of hotels mapped. The site needs to be integrated with other data to show surrounding events and destinations of interest (see: Indiana Travel Guide Map) to be even more useful to the tourist.
