Affinity International Travel Systems Forms Alliance
With Ten Billion Dollar Consortium Travel Lines
Express
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 21, 1999--Affinity International Travel Systems Inc. (OTC BB:TRIP)
Thursday announced that it has become a preferred supplier to Travel Lines Express, a ten billion dollar consortium with over
4,300 travel agencies nationally.
The alliance with Travel Lines Express, the largest travel agent consortium in the country, is expected to bring unprecedented
growth to both companies.
Daniel G. Brandano, chief executive officer of Affinity, commented, ''Given the magnitude of our recent acquisitions combined
with our new Internet presence, the partnership with Travel Lines Express and its 4,300 travel agency retail locations is exactly
what we needed to support our own staff and handle all the new product lines that we have.''
Affinity International Travel Systems is a holding company that has, over the past two years, developed a technology platform
in conjunction with The Sabre Group (NYSE:TSG - news), and Internet strategies designed to allow quick integration of
acquisitions, dramatically cutting their operational costs while increasing their revenues and profitability.
The company plans to continue its dramatic growth by aggressively seeking out acquisition candidates while providing
competitively priced, specialized services to travel agents.
