Press Release Summary: Agoda annouces has its extended partnership with Compass
Hospitality to include distribution of its new properties via Agoda's websites.

Press Release Body: Agoda.com, an online travel company specializing in discount
hotel bookings in Asia, has extended its partnership with Compass Hospitality to
include distribution of its new properties via Agoda's websites. With a portfolio of
45 managed properties, comprised of hotels, resorts and serviced apartments, Compass
Hospitality will be opening 4 new properties later this year and into early 2009.

According to Wilfred Fan, Agoda’s vice president, Business Development, Compass
Hospitality will continue to utilize Agoda.com’s extranet-based inventory management
system, allowing Agoda’s customers to have last-minute availability at favorable
rates. Compass Hospitality was originally provided access to Agoda’s unique Yield
Control System last year, and the results have been fantastic. Last-minute
availability tends to change frequently due to seasonality and market trends, and
Agoda’s system has proven to be a good fit for Compass Hospitality target markets.

“Compass Hospitality, with its range of properties and inventory of over 4,300
rooms, is able to provide our customers a wide and varied range of choices. The
addition of new properties in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur will introduce over 500 new
rooms. This is great news for Agoda customers seeking additional, centrally-located
accommodation options, especially for those already familiar with Compass
Hospitality’s properties and reputation for professional service," said Fan.

The partnership seems to be a great one for both sides. Tejinder Sidhu, general
manager, Strategic Sales & Marketing of Compass Hospitality added, “Agoda has a
strong online presence and global reach and is supported by a large and dedicated
team. Agoda provides us with a user-friendly extranet system which has enabled us to
effectively put yield management into practice. We have been extremely satisfied
with the results since working with Agoda over the past year, and we see this
partnership growing from strength-to-strength.”

Agoda Company has been operating since 1998 and markets hotels in Asia through
www.agoda.com locally-branded Agoda sites in twenty languages, including Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Thai and other European languages. The sites are supported by an
award-winning, multilingual, customer-service team, which operates 24 hours/day, 365
days/year.
