Luxique Profits to Go to China Earthquake Relief

Fri May 16, 2008 9:59pm EDT
NEW YORK, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The boutique and luxury hotel booking
site, Luxique (http://www.luxique.com/), is to mirror its support for the
cyclone victims in Burma (Myanmar) with a similar effort for those affected by
the devastating earthquake in China.
    Luxique is donating ten per cent of its profits throughout May for Burma
and will now do the same for China.
    Luxique's Chief Executive, Alex Brey, said: "It seems incredible that two
such major disasters should strike within such a short time. As a worldwide
travel company, we felt we couldn't just stand back -- we needed to match
sympathy with funds."
    Clients who now book high-end luxury hotels through the site will be
contributing directly to disaster relief and will also be asked for extra
donations.
    "We have many Chinese clients and deal with a number of Chinese hotels and
our hearts go out to all those who have suffered."
