Worldskip.com is a popular site for international business and leisure travelers as well as students of all ages. Headquartered in Oakland, California, USA, WorldSkip USA, Inc., is rapidly becoming the premier on-line source for geo-centric news, information, products and services.

"This partnership is consistent with our objective of enhancing services to our users. Being able to offer an extensive guide to bed & breakfasts to our users for nearly every country and in particular being able to offer it through a premier inn accommodation information provider, such as Lanier, was a strategic initiative and a high priority for WorldSkip," says Nicholas Brathwaite, one of the company's founder and CEO. Nicholas Brathwaite added, "We have developed a simple and intuitive, multi lingual, navigational tool targeting international businesspersons, global travelers, immigrants and students. As a result of this partnership our users now gain access to a complete resource of lodging information while skipping around the globe on WorldSkip."
