BeyondVacations Corp. (www.beyondvacations.com) announced today that the Internet travel provider has added a new travel store. Once travelers book the perfect vacation on BeyondVacations.com, they can then browse the travel store to find everything they will need for their vacation getaway. Instead of spending more time looking around the Net for travel products, BeyondVacations.com has created a one-stop shopping experience specifically designed for the traveler.

BeyondVacations.com has one of the most extensive travel Web sites on the Net, providing travelers with an easy way to plan and book a trip as well as purchase travel accessories. Whether you are a vacationer or a business traveler the travel store makes it simple, offering film and batteries, Notebook PCs, personal digital assistants (PDA) and everything in between. If you are the more adventurous type, BeyondVacations.com has a wide range of products for mountain climbing, snow skiing, rock climbing and snowboarding. Travelers can search through hundreds of travel products such as luggage, cameras, travel books, apparel, camcorders, and videos.

"Our customers have the ability to book a flight almost anywhere in the World. They can make a hotel reservation in Paris, then rent a car for site seeing along the French countryside, or if they prefer, hop on a train and tour Europe. We also provide the traveler with tools to assist them before they plan their trip. They can view in real-time a travel destination with a Web cam or read about another traveler's experiences on a message board. And now travelers can also find travel accessories all on one Web site. We want to provide our customers with complete travel services and products, not just booking capabilities. We sell travel reservations and related products, however we are really providing three key elements to our customers - content, commerce, and community," said David Brennan, President and CEO of the Dallas based BeyondVacations Corp.

The Internet is radically changing the leisure travel industry. Consumers have adopted online travel planning faster than any other online retail segment. Online leisure travel bookings will exceed $29 billion in 2003, generating 12 percent of the total industry revenue online by 2003 (Forrester Research).
