	ANDRIA HALL SHOWS ROAD TO TRUE WEALTH

Exciting business franchise options now available for travel agents, industry officials and the general public

SCOTCH PLAINS, NEW JERSEY (September 27, 2007) – One of the world's fastest growing Internet-based travel companies is making it easy for traditional travel agents and other industry officials to expand their operations, and one of the most accomplished on-air television and radio broadcasters is leading the charge.

Former CNN News Anchor Andria Hall, the President of the New Jersey based SpeakEasy M.E.D.I.A., as well as a Referring Travel Agent with SpeakEasy Travel, announced that until December 2, 2007, the publicly traded YTB Travel and Cruises (YTBLA), is waiving franchise fees to any bona fide travel agent, pilot, flight attendant or airline reservationist joining its network, currently comprising more than 122,000 home-based referring travel agents.

"It's unimaginable what this company is doing, offering what amounts to a free online travel franchise, powered by World Choice Travel, a division of the Travelocity partner network,” said Hall, who countered the myth that travel agents are a dying breed. "It's not that they are a dying breed, it's simply a case of who moved my cheese. Now the travel cheese is in cyberspace."

Hall said that the vast majority of Americans book their travel over the Internet, and her parent company is affording not just traditional agents an opportunity to create wealth, but anyone who has a strong work ethic and wants to lead others toward success. “Having user-friendly technologies at our fingertips translates into an opportunity for financial and personal freedom for just about anyone in the United States,” she said, adding that YTB websites enable customers to purchase commissionable travel services from airline tickets to cruises and car rentals, and non-traditional travel products from flowers to theatre tickets to cars.

A faith and work author and public speaker, Hall conducts personal wealth building seminars in the United States and the Caribbean and is one of a growing number of motivated professionals buying back their time from the corporate world. "Wealth is more than financial security for our families, it is creating a life of balance. We should all be operating in a spirit of excellence and service to others, but who has time for that if you are pressed to work a 60 hour workweek for someone else."

Travel is the world's largest industry, and Travel Weekly, a leading industry publication, recently ranked YTB number 35 on its 2007 Power List of the nation's travel sellers. YTB was listed 11th as Power List agencies that reported or are believed to be selling more leisure than business.

"YTB has presented an opportunity to anyone who has a desire to change their life,” said Hall, who notes that the industry has made the shift from brick and mortar to click and order. "Major market shifts are noteworthy," added Hall who is sounding the alarm that those who position themselves in front of a shifting trend, in this case travel, stand a greater chance of benefiting and building true wealth.
