Looks like you might be running before you can walk here. Take a look here:

What web development experience do you have? How much time and money do you have to invest in your projects? These are questions which you'll need to answer for yourself, and for others here before you can start to get some reasoned advice!

Good luck!

money and time is not an issue...i have seen so many sites on online hotel booking and i found one thing common in them i guess they are using third party database. How will i come to know which are those third party and how can i integrate my site with their database of hotels.

You will need your own database, and then have a system which queries quite a few other databases in real time. Not a project for the faint hearted I think. Compare it to a travel agency reservation system and you'll start to see the complexity.

no I have seen some travel related sites who are using third party database and sends direct query to their server only. Here i show you an example of turnkey site http://turnkey-examples.com/travel/travel1/travel1blue/index.php
here they don have the database with them. But i am not intrested in any turnkey sites.
Can you tell me where can i contact third parties.

You are already exhibiting a more profound basic knowledge than I have, so I will leave it to others to take up this challenge. Best of luck!

The example you mention is a travelnow.com affiliate and simply frames the affiliate link (look at the source).

Try Ian.com affiliate program, I am sure what is what you are looking for.

Yep, cwstream is on the money -- EXCEPT: IAN.com did not credit me in my stats for over 20 web orders -- so keep their confirmation e-mails for proof!
