| The travel industry is by far the largest industry | | | | because of the internet. It's just heading that |
| in the world. It accounts for about 7 trillion dollars | | | | way. People are now going to be able to purchase |
| a year world wide and about 1.3 trillion in the US | | | | a car, new or used from their local dealerships |

| after the prize of being the largest internet travel | | | | Right after I went out to St. Louis to see the |
| company in the world and create 10,000 | | | | company, I met up with a friend in Chicago who |
| millionaires inside of 10 years. I know that might | | | | has been working with this company for close to |
| sound grandiose, but stay with me because once | | | | 3 years. His income that month was a little over |
| you understand our business model, it will be very | | | | $125,000 and growing by at least another $5,000 |
| clear as to why it is not only realistic but very | | | | each month. Now we both know it is not |
| probable. | | | | common to hit checks like that but it does |
| Right now, about 82% of the US population | | | | happen when people are in the right place at the |
| already books their travel online. The travel | | | | right time and ready for the opportunity. $125k a |
| agency community has shrunk by 200,000 + | | | | month is almost an impressive income but what |
| travel agencies in the last 10 years because | | | | really got me was that more than $73,000 of |
| everyone is adopting the internet as their travel | | | | that was purely residual. I have seen quite a few |
| agent. It's convenient. That is why Expedia, | | | | checks like that being passed out in direct |
| Travelocity, Orbitz, Priceline etc...have all be trying | | | | marketing over the years but I have never seen |
| to brand themselves to grab a piece of the | | | | that kind of ratio. Typically, money like that is |
| market as this transition occurs from brick and | | | | mainly derived from one time bonuses. |
| mortar travel agencies to click and order travel | | | | Every once in a while a phenomenon occurs in the |
| agencies. Not only do they want a piece of the | | | | direct marketing industry and there is no doubt |
| existing market, more importantly they want to | | | | that YTB is one of them. The industry has stood |
| get in front of what is to come. for example is | | | | up and taken notice. And the interesting thing is |
| spending about 5 million dollars a week for | | | | that most people are not really aware of what is |
| marketing. About 80% of the revenue that | | | | being done behind the scenes right now. But, it is |
| comes in the door is being reinvested into their | | | | almost a cliché in this industry to hear |
| branding efforts. But, 20% of a whole lot is still a | | | | about how companies are going to be the next |
| whole lot. It's a great business model. But there is | | | | billion dollar giant and how the company owners |
| one problem; people are booking their travel with | | | | are great business people with impeccable |
| faceless corporations and there is no relationship in | | | | integrity. I was almost to the point of jumping up |
| the equation anymore. | | | | and strangling the next hypester who told me |
| With YTB, you own a full service online travel | | | | that. With YTB, you only need to allow yourself |
| agency with more extensive features than | | | | to see it for what it is and the rest of the story |
| anyone else. From airline tickets, hotels, all inclusive | | | | unfolds itself. |
| vacation packages, cruises, golf tee times, | | | | Now, here is the benefit. By owning an online |
| Broadway show tickets, sporting events, ski | | | | travel agency, you are engaged in the travel |
| passes, concert tickets, amusement park | | | | profession. This gives you access to a side of |
| admissions, travelers insurance, buy foreign | | | | travel that the average consumer never gets to |
| currency, just about anything travel and | | | | see. You are allowed insider vacation packages |

| travel provider in the world. We don't sell | | | | only available to those in the travel business, not |
| something kind of like Carnival, Disney, Sandals, | | | | to mention that since you are in the travel |
| Frontier Airlines, Alamo etc...that is exactly what | | | | business, you get to write off your leisure |
| we sell. As a matter of fact, last year we booked | | | | vacations as well. And, you also get paid 60% of |
| over 10,000 weeks on Carnival Cruiselines making | | | | the vendor commission back on your own travel. |
| us the #3 booking agent in the world for Carnival. | | | | So to sum this up: |
| They treat us good! | | | | 1. We are in an industry that people are already |
| All we have to do is point people to our website | | | | sold on. |
| and YTB pays us 60% of the commission. The | | | | 2. We are in the largest industry in the world that |
| competition can not compete with this distribution | | | | is doubling in size. |
| model and here is why: We are bringing | | | | 3. We get to create additional tax write offs. |
| relationships back to an industry that the internet | | | | 4. We get to travel like an insider. |
| has been taking away. The convenience of online | | | | 5. We have a no risk guarantee to make a profit. |
| booking is still the same; it's just that people can | | | | 6. We have a bill of rights to protect our income |
| now put a face to the website. They book their | | | | forever. |
| travel as usual. They get to stay in the same | | | | The total cost is a one time $449.95 and a |
| hotels, the same all inclusive vacations, the same | | | | monthly licensing fee of $49.95 to maintain the |
| cruises, the same car rentals and they pay the | | | | hosting and back office functionalities of our travel |
| same price, maybe even a little better. The | | | | business. We a have over 300 + people at the |
| difference is you. Here is a good example; my | | | | home office working for us on a full time basis. |
| Mother will never go to another travel site | | | | There will be close to 1,000 employees by the |
| because I'm her son and since nothing changes | | | | end of the year. We just point people to our site |
| except for who gets paid, she books with me. It's | | | | and YTB does the rest. YTB is also building a |
| not like the telecom industry where Travelocity or | | | | 130,000 square foot facility in Greater St. Louis |
| Orbitz is gonna send my Mom a check for $50 | | | | and you are more than welcome to visit the |
| bucks if she switches back. And, if one of my | | | | home office. Almost every Tuesday, they have |
| buddy's books their travel with someone else, | | | | what is called the Red Carpet event. Every week, |
| they can forget calling me the next time they | | | | between 800 to 1200 people fly out to take a |
| need help moving. This is a perfect business | | | | look at the company. The day starts with a tour |
| model for the travel industry because over 80% | | | | of the facilities and meeting the employees. Then |
| of all vacations are already booked through a | | | | they charter everyone over to the convention |
| recommendation. | | | | center where they lay out a huge buffet lunch. |
| Now about YTB and why I have made a life-long | | | | Shortly after everyone eats, they give a |
| commitment to this company: YTB is a 6 year | | | | presentation on the business model. It is a very |
| old publicly traded company. They are seeing a | | | | dynamic event but the impressive thing is that |
| 400% growth rate, eclipsing 1 billion dollars in | | | | they don't hype it up. They give people a very |
| travel bookings this year and have recently made | | | | objective look at why this makes sense. I haven't |
| it in the top 50 travel agencies in the world. The | | | | had one person visit the company and not get |

| nowhere. The first few years was putting it all | | | | As questions come up, don't hesitate to call me |
| together. It was just in this last year that we | | | | anytime day or night. I am passionate about this |
| moved into a perfect position to dominate the | | | | business. We are showing people how to travel a |
| industry. YTB has also acquired a bank and 3 car | | | | lot better for less money, be able to write it off |
| dealerships, with many other auto manufactures | | | | on their taxes and get paid to do it. It's pretty |
| coming soon. This part of our business goes live | | | | much that simple. For those of us who are a little |
| on June 1st. Just as travel has migrated to the | | | | more entrepreneurial, there is a much more |
| internet, so are auto sales. When people purchase | | | | significant opportunity available. We are riding a |
| a vehicle, they usually go to the internet to | | | | trillion dollar market through an 18 to 20 year |
| research it. Because of the internet, many | | | | growth spurt and then binding it all together for |
