Sterling Valley Systems Announces Launch of InntopiaPlus for GDS Distribution
Lodging Properties Benefit from Distribution to Over 600,000 Travel Agents and the Web's Most Popular Travel Sites.

Stowe, VT - June 10, 2002 - Sterling Valley Systems, Inc today announced the launch of InntopiaPlus, providing lodging properties of all types and sizes with distribution to major Global Distribution Systems ("GDS") and Alternative Distribution Systems ("ADS"). Inntopia users will now have the option of publishing their Inntopia room inventory and rates to over 600,000 travel agents worldwide, plus popular travel sites such as Travelocity and Orbitz.

"The great thing about InntopiaPlus is that it is as easy to use as Inntopia, but gives its users distribution that until now has been available only through complex GDS programs," said Trevor Crist, President of Sterling Valley Systems, Inc. "I think the appeal is universal - smaller properties now have a cost-effective solution for GDS distribution, and larger properties can manage all of their distribution channels through one, easy-to-use interface. The comprehensive distribution, combined with our aggressive pricing model and our reputation for outstanding customer support makes InntopiaPlus a compelling choice for any property or lodging group."

"We have chosen InntopiaPlus for our hotel's GDS service for two reasons: convenience and excellent customer service," said Linn Lewis, Reservations Manager at Forest Suites Resort, a 116 unit property in South Lake Tahoe, California. "We now only need to load rates and inventory on one system; where, in the past we had to keep track of multiple systems. We are very pleased with InntopiaPlus."

Jan Ayers, Reservation Manager at Wintergreen Resort, a 300 unit property in Wintergreen, Virginia, agrees. "Wintergreen Resort has been utilizing Inntopia as our online booking service for over 2 years. When we learned of InntopiaPlus we were delighted and signed up immediately. Having the superior quality of Inntopia's customer service, the ease of site maintenance and the expanded exposure available through InntopiaPlus made this a win-win situation for Wintergreen Resort."
