TAMPA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–It’s no secret that the online travel industry is booming worldwide,
growing to an incredible market value of $300 billion in recent years by
making it easier than ever before to book a trip.

“By
offering preferential service to specific kinds of travelers, we expect
to build a niche community of loyal customers.”

On the Move Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: OMVS) believes there’s still much more
growth in store for the industry. That’s why the company plans to focus
on providing stellar customer service and niche travel markets to
succeed in a sector currently dominated by giants like Orbitz, Priceline
and Expedia.

“The major travel websites are very large and well-known, but they’re
also unwieldy and one-size-fits-all,” says OMVS CEO Patrick Brown. “By
offering preferential service to specific kinds of travelers, we expect
to build a niche community of loyal customers.”

As an example of how businesses can thrive in the travel industry by
focusing on customer service and niche markets, Brown points to small
airlines such as Allegiant Air. They’ve thrived in recent years, even as
major carriers have struggled, by offering a superior travel experience
to business travelers or day-trippers unmatched by the big boys.

“We believe we can succeed by applying a similar business model to the
world of online travel booking,” Brown said.

With the online travel segment representing nearly a third of the
trillion-dollar global travel market, OMVS views the segment as an
exciting path forward to growth and profitability for our company.”

OMVS plans to market and develop new solutions that will allow the
company to compete in the online travel market alongside Priceline.com
(NASDAQ: PCLN), TripAdvisor.com (NASDAQ: TRIP) and Expedia.com (NASDAQ:
EXPE).

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–John Q. Hammons Hotels Resorts today announced University
Plaza Hotel and Convention Center General Manager Robert Henley will
be leaving the company next month to pursue an opportunity on the

percent last year, relationships were strengthened with the community,
and the hotel’s profile has improved as a part of the downtown arts
district and Walnut Street.

Joplin after the tornado. He brought his talents to Springfield and
created success. He is well thought of by our John Q. Hammons family and
throughout the community, and he will be sorely missed,” Dowdy said. “We
are happy for Robert to have the opportunity to be closer to family and
wish him well with his new endeavor.”

John Q. Hammons Hotels Resorts has a national search underway for the
next general manager of the University Plaza Hotel and Convention

renovation scheduled to kick off later this year.
