Press Release Summary: Travel 2.0 community releases innovative image gallery and
airline review tools

Press Release Body: July 18 2008: This month travel-centric online community iloho -
www.iloho.com - adds two groundbreaking new functions to its dynamic portfolio:
"Landmarks", an interactive image gallery of the most impressive wonders of the
world, and an enhanced airline review system. Launching today, Landmarks enables
users to browse, upload and vote for their favorite images of travel hotspots from
the Valley of the Kings to Venezuela's Angel Falls. From the week commencing 27
August iloho users will be able to explore the site's augmented airline reviews
function, which offers fully comprehensive route information including in-flight
entertainment options, internet connection availability and on-board menus.

Iloho has developed the new Landmarks function to make travel planning more
inspiring by offering users a visual feast of destination information. Members can
upload and share their own travel pictures and browse, comment on and vote for
others'. Landmarks uses interactive Google maps to geo-locate user-generated images
of over 200 iconic sites; in just a few clicks users can explore destinations as
diverse as Tikal in Guatemala, Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers and the Parthenon in
Greece.

Each landmark has its own photo gallery and images will be brought to life with
user-generated descriptions and comments. Iloho's landmarks are automatically linked
to other neighboring attractions offering users further insight into the regions
they plan to visit. To ensure iloho's landmarks list is as comprehensive as possible
registered users are also able to submit requests to add locations via an automated
suggestions box. In the near future the Landmarks function will be integrated across
the site and geo-coded information will be included in all of iloho's applications.

The enhanced airline reviews function will provide iloho users with a wealth of
side-by-side information about some of the world's top airlines. The new service
will launch with in-depth reviews of over one thousand international routes served
by major airlines including iloho's launch partners Japan Airlines and Oasis Hong
Kong Airlines. The up-to-date information will include in-flight entertainment
options, on-board menus, luggage allowances; aircraft model numbers, seat
descriptions, class availability, power supplies and internet access. Additional
information covering further airlines will be uploaded later this year.

Andrea Liu, CEO Iloho, said: "We're delighted to be expanding our travel planning
and social networking functions hot on the heels of our launch. Landmarks will be a
fantastic way for iloho users to share their travel photos and inspire other members
to discover new corners of the globe. We are confident our enhanced airline review
application will prove invaluable in helping users with their travel plans; no doubt
they'll need it now that Landmarks shows off all the fantastic places they could
be!"

Iloho launched on 18 June 2007. The site focuses on user-generated news stories,
social networking and in-depth route reviews. Partnered with frequent flyer
stalwarts FlyerTalk.com and the WebFlyer Network, iloho offers a unique and
rewarding community experience that allows its users to define travel headlines,
interact with like-minded individuals and plan the perfect trip. Iloho's content is
generated wholly by its users; they choose, create and rate every single story and
review ensuring that the site is continuously refreshed with the most relevant and
recommended travel information.
