Passport Online Announces VacationPORT Live Booking Link Program — Cruise Partner Link to be demonstrated at New Giants 2003 Conference this week

BEAVERTON, OR - (Nov. 12, 2003) — Passport Online today announced their Live Booking Link Program for VacationPORT. The VacationPORT Live Booking Link Program allows agency and consortia clients to enable consumers and agents to easily search and find a vacation offer, then check live availability and even book cruises, tours, and vacation packages from VacationPORT. VacationPORT is used by leading travel companies such as AAA, Carlson Leisure Group, GIANTS, Uniglobe, Vacation.com, and others as a key component of their electronic marketing initiatives.

"Many of our customers have told us that they want consumer booking on their Websites. But they also want a consistent, superior shopping experience for their clients rather than a collection of separate links to different booking engines," stated Greg Kott, Passport Online President and CEO, "For instance, an agency might want specific destinations to be searched in one click, displaying a variety of relevant offers for both cruises and vacations." Kott also commented, "Our customers also want all of their cruise, tour, and vacation package products integrated within a single email marketing system. VacationPORT and the new Live Booking Link Program provides this solution. Travel agencies and consortia will now have unprecedented power and flexibility in the control of Website look-and-feel, product marketing, supplier choice and booking engine choice."

Twelve preferred suppliers are initially participating in the VacationPORT Live Booking Link Program, including Cruise Partner and Amadeus Cruise for online cruise booking, and Apple Vacations, Club Med, Collette Vacations, Contiki, GWV International, Insight, Sol Melia Resorts, SuperClubs, TNT Vacations, and Trafalgar Tours for tours and vacation packages. Cruise Partner and Amadeus Cruise booking engine links will be available in December, with additional booking engine links available in Q1 2004.

"Contiki, Trafalgar, and Insight Vacations are pleased to be integrating our agent and consumer booking engines into Passport's VacationPORT e-marketing system. We have worked with Passport Online for over four years and it has been an expanding and effective marketing channel. Now we are excited to jump to the next level of integration with VacationPORT which includes live daily feeds of our latest pricing and a live booking link into our online inventory for their agency and consortia clients," stated Thomas See, VP Marketing Trafalgar/Insight.

"The live booking engine that allows travel agent customers to shop and book Apple vacations from VacationPORT is a critical part of any travel agency's future. Apple is proud to be a part of this exciting development," stated Timothy Mullen, Sr. Vice President, Apple Vacations.

Jack Mannix, CTC, president and CEO, of GIANTS said, "GIANTS is offering its members flexibility in choice of booking engines, while at the same time providing a common, state of the art Internet marketing platform. Passport Online is helping us meet both of these objectives for our new initiative through the VacationPORT booking engine program. We will be demonstrating the Cruise Partner link to VacationPORT at the New GIANTS 2003 Conference this week."
