 COPENHAGEN, Denmark – August 26, 2013 – Headaches are not supposed to be part of a newlywed couple’s honeymoon. For Christoffer Jensen, the aggravation occurred while he was planning his honeymoon. “Every major travel website advertises a simple, quick search with an all-encompassing list of hotel rooms and prices, but that was not the case,” said Jensen, founder of SmartHotelSearch.com. “I spent several weeks scanning the web to find a hotel room.”

Jensen, a Denmark native, attended high school, college and business school in North Carolina.  His travel experience, business background and honeymoon-planning frustrations inspired him to create SmartHotelSearch.com. “I wanted SmartHotelSearch.com to display all of the hotel prices and recommendations that are posted on the Internet,” Jensen stated. “As a result, travelers can find a beautiful hotel in a matter of minutes.”

 Creating SmartHotelSearch.com was a challenge in and of itself. “I had an extensive business background, but I was a novice website developer,” said Jensen. Consequently, he spent countless hours researching website design and learning how to develop a custom search engine that displays hotel rates from countless travel sites.

 Jensen spent about one year building and testing his new site. “I used SmartHotelSearch.com to book my summer vacation, which was a trip from Denmark back to the U.S.,” Jensen said. “We saved quite a bit of money, which my wife spent shopping,” he added with a grin. Now he wants travelers around the world to take SmartHotelSearch.com for a test-drive.

 The entrepreneur’s initial goal was to have SmartHotelSearch.com up and running by the 2013 Labor Day holiday weekend. “We exceeded our expectations by one week,” Jensen said. “So travelers who are itching to get away have a new tool, which allows them to plan a getaway and get a great deal in a matter of minutes.”

 Jensen admits that competing with the major travel websites will be an uphill battle. However, SmartHotelSearch.com already has a database that includes more than 2 million hotels. “If we can simplify the travel-planning process and save people money, we have reached our goal."
