YTB INTERNATIONAL Chairman Provides Clarification Re: Real Estate Transaction

Market Wire, February, 2007

YTB International, Inc. ("YTBI" or the "Company") (PINKSHEETS: YTBL) and its Chairman of the Board, J. Lloyd Tomer, provided clarification today regarding Mr. Tomer's disposition of 1,000,000 shares of YTBI's common stock in payment of the purchase price in a real estate transaction that had closed in January 2007. As required under federal securities laws, Mr. Tomer filed a Form 4 disclosing the transfer of the shares as part of the purchase of a piece of real estate. While the disposition of the shares was technically deemed a "sale" under the rules that govern Mr. Tomer's SEC filings, in reality the shares were merely used as a means to purchase a piece of property that had long-standing sentimental value to Mr. Tomer.

The Company released the following statement in clarification of the true story behind the share disposition: "Coach Lloyd Tomer sold his dream home a few years ago to help fund YTBI at a critical time in the Company's growth. A few days ago he regained ownership of his dream home by giving one million shares of YTB International, Inc. stock to the person he sold it to, John Simmons. In return, Coach got the real estate back."
