May 15, 2001--BOSTON, MA --INTERNET WIRE TNT Vacations, one of the country's premier beach vacation companies, has added new technology to its website www.tntvacations.com, enabling users to see charter package prices and hotel availability in real time! "Our goal is to answer all our vacationers questions before they ask them!" explains Claire Gorayeb, Vice President of Internet Strategy

TNT's site truly delivers on the web's promise to be personalized and simple to use. Vacationers log on, input where they want to go, when they want to go and how many people are traveling and www.tntvacations.com now outputs whether that date is available and the total price for the entire package for all travelers! Users no longer have to calculate total price based on a per person cost. TNT's user friendly website does if for them!

If the selected hotel isn't available, www.tntvacations.com offers the user some alternate hotels with amenities similar to the first choice. A tremendous convenience! With just a few clicks, users can determine if a suggested alternate hotel meets their needs. Plus, TNT Vacations knows that charter vacation packages offer travelers the best value. If a charter vacation is available within a few days of the selected departure date, www.tntvacations.com shows this alternate date.

"We want to take care of our customers," says Gorayeb. "We don't want to just offer a site that says 'No, you can't go where you want when you want to,' we built a site that says "Let us help you figure out where you CAN go and when.' That's what we've created with www.tntvacations.com."

With the click of a mouse, users can get an in-depth look at every vacation destination TNT Vacations offers. These include Anguilla, Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, Bermuda, Cancun, Costa Rica, Cozumel, Curacao, Grand Bahama Island, Jamaica, La Romana, Martinique, Nevis, Playa del Carmen, Punta Cana, St. Barts, St. Kitts and St. Martin. At this time, the new pricing and availability functions exist only for charters to the Caribbean and Mexico. Soon, all TNT destinations will be included. This will allow users all over the country - not just in regions with access to charters - to take advantage of TNT Vacations' low prices, on complete vacation packages to any of 24 destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Costa Rica. With more than 260 hotels to choose from, users will have no problem finding the perfect beach getaway.
