NEW YORK, May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The boutique and luxury hotel booking
site, Luxique.com, is the latest travel industry name to announce support for
the relief effort in Burma (Myanmar).

the urgent task to provide help for the hundreds of thousands of people made
homeless by Cyclone Nargis.

are truly appalling and we, as a worldwide travel company, wanted to show our
concern for the Burmese people in a practical way.  So every time a client

hotel], they can take solace in the fact that they will be contributing to
