Joystar Inc. (OTCBB: ARGT)

Aaah, the benevolent holiday refrain sounds out an altruistic message conveying sheer love for the inhabitants of our diverse planet, invoking images of a redeemed Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" or a changed Ebenezer Scrooge in the Dickens' classic. Each of these newly-inspired characters found themselves the beneficiary of a happier existence as a result of an improved perspective.

And today we bring to your attention a company with a business plan that could perhaps be tightly summarized as "joy to the world" as well,  a company with a different perspective on travel and opportunity.  Not only is Joystar a dynamic outlet for booking travel online, but it also provides Average Joe's with the opportunity to become their own travel agent. We're not talking about simply "find-your-own-flight-and-pick-a-non-smoking-room-at-the-Ramada" kind of a travel agent. We're talking about a quick and easy interface where an individual can have their own Joystar travel portal and can offer the full spectrum of travel possibilities to their family, friends and whomever they send to their customized Joystar travel platform online.  Instantly, Average Joe has become a travel agent per se, collecting commissions along the way and earning all the tangent benefits of that position for the same online travel he might have booked elsewhere and received no residual benefit.

And the online travel sector is as hot as it appears with companies like Sabre (NYSE: TSG) buying up Travelocity (Nasdaq: TVLY) and luminaries like Barry Diller and his InterActiveCorp (NasdaqNM: IACI) buying up notable travel outlets such as Expedia.com, Hotels.com and spending $665 million in cash for Hotwire.com to name just a few.

Positioned uniquely in a growing online industry and separating themselves from the pack with one of the most lucrative, personally rewarding partner programs in the travel industry, Joystar is quite simply on its way to being a joy for travelers.

ABOUT JOYSTAR

Joystar provides online and off-line travel services for the leisure and small business traveler. Through the company's Web site www.joystar.com, travelers can research and  book air, car, hotel, vacations and cruises.  In addition to the primary travel service, Joystar offers partner programs (www.iamatravelagent.com) that empower people from all walks of life to be their own travel agent. Joystar provides its partners with all of the training, tools and backoffice support to operate a successful, full-time or part-time business. 

In addition to the commissions earned, Joystar also allows this national sales force of independent contractors access to all the "perks and benefits" of being a travel insider including "agent only" discounts and courtesy upgrades. The simplicity of the program allows people to receive commissions on their own travel as well as travel purchases made by people they refer to Joystar.

Joystar offers reliable, real time access to research and reservation services for over 400 airlines, 65,000 lodging properties, all major cruise lines, vacation packages, and car rental companies.  The Joystar Web site is a one-stop shopping environment for travel purchases 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Cruises, honeymoons, golfing holidays, African safaris - Joystar has partnerships with some of the biggest names in travel and is an affiliated agency as well as a member of Amadeus' Vacation.com with over $25 billion dollars in annual bookings.

It isn't often that people get a real chance to participate in a ground floor opportunity and that is why Joystar is so attractive right now. The company just went public, merging with publicly traded Advanced Refrigeration (OTCBB: ARGT), and is now trading in the $2.00 range. Look at the numbers below from other travel companies that have taken off from their lows and it will confirm why Joystar is truly a ground floor opportunity.

A U.S. Travel Summary for 2000-2004, that measures real Gross Domestic Product (in billions) shows the travel industry has grown from $9 billion in 2000 to a forecasted $30 billion in 2004 and is expected to surpass $55 billion in 2005. Sources: TIA's Travel Forecast Model; TIA's Travel Scope; Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Department of Labor; Bureau of Economic Analysis, Department of Commerce.

The Travel Industry Association of America (TIAA) estimates that around 64 million Americans now research their travel options online.  This marks a dramatic rise from 1997 when just 12 million Americans planned and researched travel options via the Web.

Around 42% of online travel planners say they now do all or most of their trip planning online, up from 29% last year. In 2002, over 39 million people actually booked travel using the Internet, up 25% on 2001. The research also indicates that 70% of travel planners say they now carry out at least half of their travel booking online, compared with 56% last year.
