Press Release Body = East Stroudsburg, PA December 15, 2006 - Just two short years
ago when travel industry guru, Rick Golden envisioned Hotel Connections Corporation
(HCC), the Technology Division of his ever-expanding travel company,
GoldenTravelGuides, he could not have imagined the strides that the company would
make.

Hotel Connections Corporation, who led the Poconos, Pennsylvania region in hotel
reservations services by an independent, private company during its first successful
year, was thrilled to surpass their target for year two as one of the largest
reservations networks in the entire state of Pennsylvania. The addition of several
key clients to HCC's repertoire in the past few months has served to even further
strengthen their imprint as an industry-leading provider of travel reservations
technology and services to Convention and Visitors Bureaus, Destination Marketing
Organizations, and the tourism industry at large.

Hotel Connections Corporation (http://www.HotelConnectionsCorporation.com) works
with each individual client to develop a la carte sales, marketing, and packaging
initiatives and promotions that will best suit the individual needs of their region
and their property's individual business objectives.

Hotel Connections Corporation creates world-class room reservation, golf tee time
reservation, restaurant reservation, and tour packaging technology for their
proprietary use in order to accommodate the growing need in their industry. They
have recently made this technology available for lease to the Hospitality and Travel
Industries. Hotel Connections Corporation, who has direct access to more than 40,000
hotels around the world, has already forged client relationships with 350 (and
growing daily) hotels to market rooms. These are not normally discounted, but are
sold at market rates to travelers the property would not otherwise reach. The sale
of rooms through HCC's system nets Lodging Property Owners substantially more net
revenue than if the same rooms were to be sold through HCC's competitors
(Travelocity, Hotels.com, Expedia, Hotwire, and Priceline.)

Hotel Connections Corporation also provides online and call-center reservation
systems for Convention and Visitors Bureaus, individual hotels, inns, resorts, other
lodging properties, and destination attraction's Web sites. HCC staff includes Web
site designers, Search Engine Optimization Specialists, advanced programmers, and
networking personnel.

Hotel Connections Corporation (HCC), headquartered at 366 North Courtland Street,
Suite B in East Stroudsburg, in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, is a
subsidiary of Golden Interests, Inc., the largest leisure travel agency in
Pennsylvania and one of the largest in the Northeastern United States. Golden
Interests is a member of the Pocono Mountains (PA) Chamber of Commerce, the Pocono
Mountains Vacation Bureau (PMVB), the Naples and Key West (FL) Chambers of Commerce,
the Sullivan County (NY) Chamber of Commerce, and the Pike and Wayne County (PA)
Chambers of Commerce.

Golden Interests publishes more than 80 Internet-based guides to the "Best of"
cities like the Poconos, Atlantic City, Naples, Hershey, Tunica, Niagara Falls, and
Punta Cana. They arrange for groups, leisure, and business travelers at more than
40,000 hotels across the world. They can be reached toll free at: 877.465.3368 or
