Article in Travel Distribution Report Says Company's Pre-Paid
Travel Concept Turns Old Referral Model 'On Its Ear' SAN FRANCISCO,
Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OneLink Corporation (OTC:OLNK)
(BULLETIN BOARD: OLNK) announced today that it has been profiled in
the August 14, 2006 issue of Travel Distribution Report, considered
one of the leading newsletters for executives in the distribution
segment of the travel industry. In the newsletter's "Company in
Focus" feature, OneLink is described as a way for travel agents to
"grab the reins" with a retail model that allows control over
customer pricing, as well as upfront commission payment, for
non-airline travel services. "If there's one thing agents depend
on, it's their commission checks," states the article. "But what is
a speedy process for most industries could take weeks for travel
agents -- and that's what OneLink Corp. wants to fix." The story
goes on to say that "OneLink's pre-paid model turns the old style
on its ear" and quotes Bill Guerin, chairman and chief executive
officer of OneLink, as affirming that "OneLink's new model
transforms agents into retailers who control their revenue,
profitability and cash flow." "OneLink's coverage in Travel
Distribution Report gives our company prominence as someone who
embraces the Internet to overhaul the retail distribution channel,"
commented Guerin on his company's coverage in the newsletter. "Our
Web portal, CCRAtravel.com, is a breakthrough tool from our CCRA
International subsidiary because it strengthens travel agencies
both financially and strategically. As important as upfront
commission payment can be, the portal also allows agents to
instantly compare net, CCRA, GDS and Hotels.com rates onscreen,
giving them the data they need to price their products
competitively." While the Travel Distribution Report article
acknowledges that some travel agents are concerned their clients
will refuse to prepay for travel services, it also quotes Guerin,
who points out that most people -- perhaps the agent's clients --
already do so. "Consumers have already been converted to thinking
in pre-paid terms by the Internet," stated Guerin. Travel
