NEW YORK -- Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. ("HOMI") (NASDAQ:HOUM) has announced the signing of an agreement with another major upscale hotel in Israel.

This is the second hotel in the Dan Hotels chain to sign up for HOMI's outsource operation program, this time for the proprietary HOMI([R]) 336 Computerized Minibar System, as its minibar solution.

The Dan Panorama Tel-Aviv Hotel is an upscale hotel managed by the Dan Hotels Group and is one of the largest Business and Leisure Hotels in Israel, with 482 renovated, modern rooms, situated on the Tel-Aviv coast.

The Dan Hotels is the longest established, most prestigious and largest hotel chain in Israel, owning and operating 13 hotels throughout the country.

Mr. Jacob Ronnel, HOMI's President and CEO, commented: "We are excited to have signed an agreement for another major installation with an upscale hotel. HOMI has, for some years now, been operating an installation at another Dan Hotel, the Dan Tel-Aviv (A member of the exclusive and world renowned 'Leading Hotels of The World'). At the time that installation was performed, the HOMI([R]) 336 was not yet developed. We are delighted with the confidence that the Dan Panorama Tel-Aviv, and Dan Hotels in general, have shown in HOMI's complete Outsourcing Program, and in our new HOMI([R]) 336 Computerized Minibar System."
