Isawthesea.com spends hotel booking commission to pay for the disabled’s breaks

By The Optimist Travel Team

An innovative not-for-profit hotel booking website, isawthesea.com, earns commission from each booking to help pay for the holiday of seriously ill children, the disabled and individuals living in poverty.

It has been launched recently by Steve Walsh, internet entrepreneur and founder of award-winning hotel room service Laterooms.com.

isawthesea.com allows users to save money by comparing the very best offers in late room availability. It searches room rates from several leading booking agents including laterooms.com, booking.com and hotels.com.

The difference is that virtually all of the commission from bookings goes towards funding hotel accommodation for those in need.

The website will initially partners with a number of charities including The Family Holiday Association, Dream-A-Way, Break, Bolton Lads and Girls Club and The Youth Cancer Trust, each of whom will nominate deserving causes for funding.
