OTV Onetravel Hlgs

OneTravel Holdings, Inc. (AMEX: OTV), a leading online and offline provider of travel and leisure services announced today that it continues to show strong growth in its private label division. This division focuses on providing back-end support to enable private label clients to supply travel products to their customer base. The Company has previously announced that it provides private label service for the Travel Channel, SideStep, and Sam's Club, and most recently, Walmart.com. OTV looks to enter into private label agreements in situations where it believes the private label partner has a significant number of web site visitors or a captive audience that creates a degree of loyalty to the web site. OTV's travel businesses and websites include 1-800CheapSeats (www.CheapSeats.com) (www.onetravel.com) (www.11thHour.com) (www.discounthotels.com) and (www.Suntrips.com). "We view the private label business as a tremendous growth vehicle for us as it dramatically increases our distribution by displaying our inventory of travel products on high-volume web sites," stated William A. Goldstein Chairman & CEO of OneTravel Holdings. "Travel is a product that appeals to virtually everyone. Many of our competitors view the private label business as helping to build a competitor to our own online travel business. We feel that these clients are going to enter the market regardless so we have made a concerted effort to be the best in the business at providing private label services. Our dedicated team works hard to keep all of our clients happy and achieve our goals," added Steve Pello, Executive Vice President of Sales and Strategic Alliances for OneTravel Holdings.

Statements in this news release about anticipated or expected future revenue or shareholder value growth or expressions of future goals or objectives, including statements regarding market conditions or whether current plans to grow and strengthen the Company's business will be implemented or accomplished, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When used in this release and documents, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. All forward-looking statements in this release are based upon information available to the Company on the date of this release. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the Company will be unable to grow or strengthen its business due to a lack of capital or a change in market demand for its products and services or to fully or effectively integrate all business units or the inability to realize anticipated cost savings or revenue and stockholder value growth opportunities associated with the acquisitions of Farequest Holdings, Inc. and OneTravel, Inc. The Company has previously mentioned in conference calls that gross bookings are not equal to gross revenues under generally accepted accounting principles, so no inference can be made about profitability based on gross bookings unless expressly stated by the Company. There is also no certainty that the Company will be successful in its quest to secure strategic alliances in its efforts to restructure its SunTrips operations. The Company is also subject to those risks and uncertainties described in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Company's historical losses and negative cash flow, its need for additional capital, including to finance the $12,500,000 promissory notes payable to the former stockholders of OneTravel, Inc., and that future financing, if available, will dilute the Company's current common stockholders. Additionally, forward-looking statements concerning the performance of the travel and leisure industry are based on current market conditions and risks, which may change as the result of certain regulatory, political, or economic events, a shift in consumer travel preferences, as well as those risks and uncertainties described in the Company's SEC filings, which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. For a complete description of the items approved at the annual stockholder's meeting, the Company's proxy statement is available for viewing in the Company's SEC filings.
