Elleipsis Global Travel Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EGTS) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Elleipsis, Inc., announced today its expansion into China through its agreement with M2B World Travel, a leader in travel related products and services catering the Asian consumers. Powered by Elleipsis' TravelTalk(R: 68.88, -0.94, -1.34%) platform, M2B World Travel's online travel site is launching into China in time for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. M2B World Travel has successfully opened access into China as well as additional Asian countries through its agreement with CITS and backed by a global agreement with GDS powerhouse Amadeus.
According to the UN World Tourism Organization, international travelers are projected to nearly double in size by 2020, lead by China, India and destinations in South-East Asia. The China Travel Bureau reports that in 2007, Chinese travelers alone spent $150 billion on domestic travel and on inbound travel by foreigners. While the travel industry has long ago identified and monitored this growing trend, international travel companies have faced significant challenges in efforts to conduct business in previously closed markets like China. According to ResearchAndMarkets.com, the year of 2007 witnessed a healthy growth in online travel bookings in China, and the market size amounted to CNY2.55 billion, up 65.4% year-on-year. Stimulated by 2008 Beijing Olympics as well as the development of business travel and private travel market, it is forecasted that the online travel market size will reach CNY4.38 billion in 2008, rising 70.9% against a year earlier.

M2B World has secured unprecedented access into the expanding Chinese travel market through an agreement signed with China International Travel Services (CITS, Sichuan Province), a leading provider of agent and booking services within China. The M2B World Travel platform, powered by Elleipsis' TravelTalk(R: 68.88, -0.94, -1.34%), will integrate with the CITS network within the major tourist hubs in China. The CITS network will serve as the on-site customer liaison between localized agents and travelers entering China, as well as will provide exclusive Chinese destination information and content to M2B World Travel. TravelTalk(R: 68.88, -0.94, -1.34%) will facilitate each booking and generate revenue on every transaction.

"Asian consumers are looking for more access to travel options, particularly now leading up to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing," said M2B World Travel Ltd. CEO Colin Binny. "With M2B World's access, our global agreement with Amadeus, and the advanced TravelTalk platform, we are uniquely aligned to leverage the emerging Asian travel market. It's the right product, the right market, and the right time."

Current online travel bookings alone in China have skyrocketed to US $2.62 Billion, driven from the expansion of broadband access and a mobilized middle class with disposable income. With this highly sought-after market in mind and the securing of the CITS agreement, M2B World Travel and Elleipsis are now positioned to meet the rising consumer demand both into and out of the region, as well as ease the travel barriers by offering a cache of broadband on-demand content covering the region to educate travelers about the destinations within China and the options and resources available to personalize their journey.
