International Travel Rebounds in 2004

CHICAGO, August 4, 2004 - iExplore (www.iExplore.com) announced today that it has begun to see a rebound in sales for more exotic international destinations. Places like Vietnam, India, Cambodia and Namibia have moved into its top ten best sellers list in July 2004. This is the first time since prior to 9/11/01 that any of these destinations have returned to iExplore's best sellers list.

iExplore founder and CEO, George Deeb, said "prior to 9/11/01, the more exotic a destination, the better it sold. Since then, Americans have been more cautious in their travel choices given world events and have been traveling closer to home. Looks like 2004 will be the year Americans started exploring the farther corners of the world again."

Other top ten sellers in July 2004, included perennial favorites Peru, China, France, Antarctica, Chile and the Galapagos Islands.

Founded in 1999, iExplore (www.iExplore.com) is the leading online seller of adventure and experiential travel and is associated with National Geographic, an equity owner in the company.
