Bell Atlantic Directory Services announces the rollout of InfoTravel, an interactive multimedia version of a targeted yellow pages service. The implementation will begin with 4,000 rooms of four Marriott and two Hilton hotels in Washington in 1995. Via a hotel's TV-based video service, InfoTravel users can access national and local advertisers, connect by telephone to the advertiser, and generate printed maps. InfoTravel's directory menu includes ``Places To Eat,'' ``Things to See and Do,'' ``Services'' (medical, business and personal) and ``Getting Around.'' A ``Travelog'' feature will be added. by CNB
