POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2000

ByeByeNOW.com, a leading "clicks-to-bricks" provider of vacation travel, announced today the launch of a new vacation category - "Resorts & Villas." These vacations offer a high-quality, value-driven alternative to hotel-based packages for the traveler seeking the privacy and space of a condominium resort. The product is available through the company's network of franchise travel stores and multi-media web site.

"ByeByeNOW.com is dedicated to providing a broad array of products and services that will benefit both travel agents and their end-customers," said Guy Pepper, CEO of ByeByeNOW.com. "Our resort and villa-based vacations offer exceptional commission levels to our franchise travel stores and a value-driven product their customers won't find anywhere else. This new database positions ByeByeNOW.com as the single largest source of resort vacation inventory in the marketplace, and provides a distinct competitive advantage to our network of franchise travel stores."

Features of ByeByeNOW.com's Resorts & Villas Vacations

Longer stays at the most popular destinations - Resorts & Villas vacations are based on 7-night accommodations and are located in some of the most sought after locations, including Hawaii, Colorado, Mexico and Arizona.

Greater value - These packages are priced per unit for the entire week - not per person, per night - and always include tax. Most resorts and condos feature kitchens and washer/dryer facilities allowing for both flexibility and savings, as well as amenities travelers expect to enjoy on vacation.

Larger accommodations - Always more than a bed and a bathroom, the suites range in size from studios to four-bedroom villas providing maximum privacy and space for guests.

Wide Range of Activities - A full list of activities and facilities, including fitness club, golf, tennis, swimming, skiing, boating, fishing, and children's programs, that are located at the resort or nearby are available on the web site and make planning the vacation easy.

ByeByeNOW.com's Resorts & Villas offerings will be enhanced in the near future, offering the flexibility of three and four-night stays, combination cruise/resort vacations, and the most popular local attractions.
