San Diego Hotel Reservations Launches New RoomStar Inc. Name

Press Release: RoomStar Inc.
September 26, 2002
SAN DIEGO, CA -- San Diego Hotel Reservations Inc., has announced its new name, RoomStar Inc., effective immediately.

Matthew F. DeLine, CEO of the 11-year-old company said, "As the scope of our business has grown, we have developed dozens of names that either geographically or demographically targeted important segments of the travel industry. So we were eager to develop a new brand name that would encompass and add value to our total marketing efforts. RoomStar gives us the ability to compete more effectively in the global marketplace."

"Our challenge was to come up with a brand identity that would mesh our reputation for local expertise and professional customer service with our expanded capabilities and position as a leader in the online reservations industry," added DeLine.

San Diego Hotel Reservations Inc., has achieved tremendous success over the last 11 years, delivering 800-number and Internet hotel reservation services as a convenient and direct connection to more than 400 of the finest hotels, resorts and motels in San Diego, Phoenix/Scottsdale, Palm Springs and Sedona/Grand Canyon, four of the southwest's most desirable destinations. RoomStar Inc., will also deliver low cost hotel reservations (including car rental, airline and the new option of cruise reservations) worldwide to both the consumer and meetings market, providing, through its own Web pages and links, reliable, relevant information about the hotels, attractions, transportation and services within all its destinations.

The company's ability to consistently deliver the lowest rate at least 90 percent of the time while offering the highest level of customer service in the industry has fueled its growth and enabled it to expand into new areas. RoomStar Inc., already has an established, impressive roster of hotel, resort and motel partners in its key regional markets (with special emphasis on an intimate knowledge of the properties in those markets), and it has the ability to book hotels and other travel services worldwide through strategic alliances with a private labeled international reservations service.

In addition, RoomStar Inc., supplies its own private-label booking engine for its affiliate partners, a service utilizing state of the art software the company has developed privately. RevUp software handles front- and back-office hotel business needs, including Internet Site Booking, Call Center Booking, Affiliate Marketing, Inventory Management, Specialized Accounting and Relationship Management. RoomStar Inc., also will provide E-commerce training for hotels and city reservations services that purchase their software.

A dynamic and diverse company that partners with hotels to provide reservation services and product solutions for consumers, businesses and organizations, RoomStar Inc., primarily features the Hotel Reservations Division, a hotel reservations service conveniently providing a large inventory of low-cost hotel options to the leisure and meetings markets; the Affiliates Division, providing business-to-business wholesale hotel reservations solutions for custom branded retail Web sites; and the previously mentioned E-commerce Software Division, which licenses back-end hotel reservations software solutions to Internet-based travel companies. In addition, the company's group meeting division, places hundreds of meetings annually, assisting in obtaining the facilities that meet each client's needs, from finding the right location through site inspection to contract negotiation.

RoomStar Inc., also specializes in event and central reservation services, serving as the official hotel reservation service for such high-profile events as San Diego's 1998 Super Bowl and its Super Bowl XXXVII on Jan. 26, 2003; the X Games; Expo 2000 in San Diego; and the Franklin Templeton Tennis Classic in Scottsdale.
