Joystar's Travel Bookings Surpass $140 Million Run-Rate

Over 300 New Members Join Its Travel Agency Network in January

Joystar, Inc. (OTCBB: JYSR), one of the nation's largest and fastest growing travel agency networks and leading seller of cruises, vacations, and group travel today announced the Company's sales have surpassed $140 million annualized.

William M. Alverson, CEO of Joystar commented, "We are experiencing staggering increases in terms of both travel bookings and growth of our agency network during the first weeks of 2007. High-margin cruises and vacation packages continue to represent 90% of our sales. The most dramatic change has been the increase in the leisure group travel segment which now represents 30% of all bookings. Additionally, we added 308 new members to our network in January setting a record for new agents in one month."

Much of the growth in bookings stems from Joystar's ability to attract a much higher caliber of agency member. "In 2005, we were thrilled to have one $1 million/yr. producer. Now, we are able to provide a compelling value proposition to established travel agencies with millions of dollars in annual sales. Given the fact we are reaching a tipping point in the home-based agency model, we expect this trend to continue," added Alverson.

To attract the industry's top producing travel sellers and to promote the Company's Enterprise program for travel agency owners with their own sales forces and small and mid-size host agencies, Joystar made several enhancements to its technology offerings and service capabilities. Major 2006 initiatives included:

--  Starbase, a private label version of the industry's most popular CRM
    software, TRAMS ClientBase.
--  VacationCompare.com, "Request Quotes. Compare Offers. Save Big," an
    online travel marketplace that matches leisure travelers to the agencies in
    its network.
--  A $2 million Errors & Omissions insurance policy covering its
    Independent Contactors at no cost.
    

According to Credit Suisse/First Boston the number of professional home-based travel agents is expected to grow from an estimated 25,000 in 2006 to 50,000 agents in 2010. Other industry studies estimate this rapidly emerging virtual (home-based) travel agency model currently represents $7.6 billion in travel sales annually.

Although bookings do not constitute revenue or income under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company feels that the growth in bookings is increasingly an indication of the consumer buying its travel agent network is capable of generating.
