LAS VEGAS, Dec. 12, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. (Pink Sheets:OTHM) (http://www.orienscorp.com), a company that seeks out mid/lower-end hotel properties in developing countries and reorganizes them under the Hotel PURE brand (www.HotelPURE.com), is pleased to announce the addition of the second FROL customer to its portfolio.
After Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin (www.guachipelin.com), a fully certified eco-friendly resort, located just 30 minutes from Costa Rica's Liberia airport, reported great success with the addition of the online reservation tool FROL to its web site, taking real-time reservations and payments, a nearby tour operator, Adventure Tours, has also added this online reservation tool to allow its customers to book the tours in advance through its web site www.guanacastetours.com.
Specializing in ecotourism, Adventure Tours is one of the best One Day Tour Operators in Rincon de la Vieja Volcano National Park, Costa Rica. The Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Costa Rica and is located in the hottest tourist destination in the country: Guanacaste region. Costa Rica volcanoes are similar to Hawaiian volcanoes in both sceneries and activities, with constant displays of eruptions and rumbling, lava flowing, steaming vents, boiling mud and active craters. Most of these volcanoes have great and easy access, making them top attractions for all tourists.
Adventure Tours offers activities for all family members, ranging from easy recreational to extreme adventures. Activities are available from 1-hour to full One Day Tours that include nature observation, bird watching, white water rafting, canoeing, canopying and hiking. Tours on horseback are carried out from a traditional cattle hacienda where the old customs of Costa Rican haciendas are still in practice.
The reason more people are discovering this area is not only because of the new Liberia International Airport that connects directly with major U.S. cities such as Atlanta, Miami and major cities in Europe including Frankfurt, Madrid, London and other cities, it is also due to its lush tropical beaches with multi-colored sand, as well as its warm relaxing waters, impressive national parks and protected forests. All of these attractions make this area one of the most perfect vacation spots in Costa Rica.
Ken Chua, President of Oriens, stated, "With our first FROL customer, Hacienda Guachipelin in full production mode booking reservations daily and smoothly, and the addition of our second customer, we are confident our FROL engine is operating flawlessly and most important of all, it is in demand by businesses in the tourism industry looking to expand their presence on the Internet and be able to capture the sales in real time. We will continue to deploy our FROL into more hotels and tour operators' web sites, with the outlook to 2009 forecasted at 50 new customers and an anticipated sale of $6-$9 million dollars."
