LAS VEGAS, May 20, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Oriens Travel & Hotel Management Corp.

Oriens has returned from exhibiting Hotel PURE at EXPOTUR, which took place in Costa Rica. EXPOTUR is the stock exchange of Tourist Marketing for Costa Rica and Central America, which brings the local vendors such as tour operators, hotel owners, transport companies and all travel-related companies from Costa Rica along with buyers such as travel agents, airline companies, and travel booking sites from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Latin America, together under one roof where businesses are conducted. There was huge interest shown by the hotel owners in Latin America / Caribbean region to join the Hotel PURE brand. Should these interests progress further, the company could see new Hotel PURE locations in Panama, Nicaragua, and the Caribbean region. There were also multiple discussions with wholesalers and travel agents such as www.expedia.com, www.skyauction.com, www.Orbitz.com, www.Travelocity.com, www.SunWing.ca, www.airtransat.com, www.lastminute.com and other Mexican travel sites, from the U.S. and Latin America with respect to supplying Costa Rica Hotel PURE room inventories in the region to these companies. Oriens will quantify and report the success of these events upon closing of the actual contracts in the near future.

Hotel PURE was one of the most visited booth at the events drawing both hotel owners in the Latin American / Caribbean region interested in joining our Hotel PURE brand, as well as travel wholesalers abroad looking for steady supplies of hotel room inventories in the region for their clients resided in the U.S. and other Latin America countries. We will pursue these leads and report on the progresses as we close on the contracts in the near future. Pictures of the events will be available at Oriens' website this week."
