Other west-coast gateways will be announced shortly thereafter.

Marketed under both the IntelliFares and i-FARES(TM) brand names, dependent upon sales channel, the service is a way for predictable pattern travelers to lock in the price of five years of air travel at substantial savings over today's airline pricing. The product will be available through IntelliFares Ltd first west-coast distributor, Flying Dutchmen Travel. Consumers and potential distributors (timeshare developers, managers and exchanges, and travel agents) are directed to www.intellifares.com for more information. Prices for all city pairs, call-in numbers and other details will be announced within the next few weeks.

As a result of our commercial relationship with Mexicana Airlines, we will be able to offer significant savings. Fare examples from Los Angeles are: to Cancun, $1,532.80 for five years including a one time $59.00 activation fee; to Huatulco, $1,666.75 for five years including activation; to Cabo San Lucas, $1,264.85/five yr including activation; to Puerto Vallarta $1,666.75/five yr including activation.

"At Mexicana, we are proud to consistently offer innovative products to the consumer. With our alliance with IntelliFares, travelers will have yet another reason for continuing to choose Mexicana as their preferred airline to Mexico from over 15 cities in the United States," cited Jorge Goytortua, V.P. of Sales West Coast for Mexicana Airlines.

"We are extremely excited to be launching i-FARES with these extraordinary rates," stated Robert H. Troni, President of IntelliFares(TM), "as now consumers can lock in great prices and not have to worry about them going up for five years. In addition, we are pleased that the travel trade will once again be able to participate in the revenue generated from air ticket sales."

"Guidance as to expected unit and dollar volume and its impact on Crystal financials will be provided once we have the benefit of in-market experience," explained Peter Dugan, CEO of Crystal, "however, we can say that our sales plan for the launch is targeting upwards of 3000 five-year units over the first four months, with the five year i-FARES units ranging in price from $1,265 to over $4,000, depending on city pair and travel dates."

Crystal International Travel Group Appoints Peter Dugan to Head Company

MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crystal International Travel Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CINT - News), announced today that the Board has unanimously appointed Peter Dugan as Chairman, President and CEO, effectively immediately.

Dugan, 53, has been with Crystal since its inception, focusing his energy on the early stage development of IntelliFares(TM). Dugan was a founder and Chairman of DVC Worldwide until he sold the business in a $125 Million private equity transaction in 2000. DVC was a leader and an award winning consumer marketing and promotion services company dealing with fortune 100 companies. "It's all about taking Crystal to the next level as quickly as possible and putting the right people in their proper jobs," said Dugan. In addition to Dugan's appointment, the company appointed Fabrizzio P. Busso-Campana as Secretary/Treasurer, and Chief Operating Officer. Corporate governance, Order flow from IntelliFares(TM) and the integration of the Flying Dutchmen acquisition are his immediate focus points.

Other Updates:

Flying Dutchmen Acquisition: Crystal is on track to close the transaction early in our first fiscal quarter that begins August 1. We are well into the due diligence phase, and are pleased to note that based on unaudited first six months numbers from FDT, they are on track to exceed our $11 Million gross revenue projection by around 10%. Closing is, as previously stated, subject to financing and other customary conditions.

IntelliFares(TM): We previously announced the granting of a thirty-day exclusive negotiation period with Mexicana Airlines®. We have extended this period at their request, and believe we will be in a position to execute an extremely beneficial rate agreement within the next month. Early indications suggest that we will be able to offer our five year prepaid IntelliFares(TM) product to Mexican resort timeshare and vacation homeowners, flying from West of The Rockies at unmatchable rates elsewhere in the industry. In other IntelliFares(TM) news, we have just authorized UBS and our attorneys in Ireland to finalize a trust structure for customer payments, in order to achieve maximum distributor and customer confidence and deposit safety.

Financing: As stated in our most recent filing with the SEC on form 8K, we have closed another tranche of $335,000 in convertible debt. We have an excellent partnership with our lender, who has purchased this latest round in addition to the $2,100,000.00 we have already issued to them, and we believe they will continue to fund our build-out with similar ongoing participation as they have indicated.
