Oriens’ Hotel PURE Gears up for Big Announcements in New Year, 2012

Preparing for First Shareholder Address and Conference Call of New Year, Operator of the Hotel PURE Brand Sees Big Opportunity to Further Explore Its Market Edge

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. (OTC:OTHM.PK)www.OriensCorp.com, operator of the Hotel PURE brand (www.HotelPURE.com) announced today that it is gearing up for its first major shareholder address and conference call of 2012.

“We are not the same outfit we were a few years back,” stated Mr. Ken Chua, President and CEO of Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. “There is a reason why the portfolio of properties flagged, operated and/or managed under our Hotel PURE brand have increased an average of 238% per year from the time of our first flag in late 2007 to year end 2010; 2011 and 2012 seem to be on target to keep pace.”

Currently, the Hotel PURE brand has acquired and integrated 20 hotel properties year-to-date. This places the number of properties operating under Oriens’ brands 52 and counting, according to management.

Mr. Chua continued, “At our core, we are a technology company which happened upon the hotel flagging industry. This ‘happening’ was one part necessity, one part market opportunity. A down and struggling economy — under performing hotel market — gave us a hole to slide through. But, it is our roots in internet technology and marketing that gave us our edge with hotel property owners then; continues to do so even more today. In 2012, as it appears to us, we may have two really fast horses in the race.”

Management suggests that its technology and hotel marketing savvy (internet) doesn’t simply provide an edge, but more or less a sledge hammer to knock down unsuspecting doors. While there has been no hint from executives of how Oriens plans to further explore its technology — which has allowed properties to see sale increases of as much as 37% within 90 days of joining the Hotel PURE brand — the “dots” may ultimately connect and point to the company bulling in on a very lucrative and trending technology market.

Ken Chua concluded, “Our New Year’s opening shareholder address and conference call will indeed set the tone for what we anticipate to be the beginning of an overall growth rate far greater than what we have experienced so far. But as Steve Jobs once said, ‘you can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.’ We can only hope the markets are intuitive enough not to wait until ‘then’ to make sense of all of our dots.”

No date has been set for the release of the Shareholder Address and/or Conference call. Management however suggests, both are likely to occur during February, 2012. The proposed events speak to the company’s past declaration and commitment to transparency by communicating with shareholders through various means such as the corporate blog, email updates, news letters, etc.

Oriens’ Hotel PURE Brand Sees 20 Properties Added to Its Portfolio Year-to-Date

Two Recent Additions to the Hotelier’s Luxury B&B Brand Brings the Portfolio to 50 Properties Under the Hotel PURE Brand

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 15, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. (OTC – OTHM.PK),www.OriensCorp.com, announced today that its rapidly growing portfolio of properties flagged, operated and/or managed under its Hotel PURE brand (www.HotelPURE.com) has added two additional Luxury Bed & Breakfast properties to the brand, securing 52 properties within the company’s portfolio.

“Once again, we see the luxury Bed & Breakfast (B+B) space as an overlooked market,” stated Mr. Ken Chua, President and CEO of Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. “Travelers want less expensive accommodations without giving up comfort. Our high end multimillion dollar homes begin at $1 million dollars, offering large and modern, well decorated and stylish accommodations.”

Currently, there are approximately 20 additional luxury B+B properties which can potentially come under the Hotel Pure brand. Management is confident the company will sign on at least half of these properties before year end.

Mr. Chua continued, “With as little as 25 properties or so, the luxury B+B brand can potentially establish a very healthy revenue source for 2012. Going into the New Year with at least 20 of these property types under the flag can only help Oriens in building potential shareholder value.”

Management emphasizes that the company continues to focus on more sizable opportunities — like the recent addition of the Santa Cruz (CA) beach front property or the pending 180 room destination hotel in Orlando, FL. The Orlando property is expected to begin full integration within the month.

Breaking Even or Getting Ahead

As of late, we have been happily receiving correspondence from our shareholders and prospective investors.   The questions vary, but from time to time, a particular question gives us cause to consider if there may be other shareholders who possibly share similar sentiments to the initial inquisitor.   This prompts us to take both the question and response and draft a blog posting for all of our readers.

In this past week, one of our shareholders forwarded an email to our corporate info site (info@HotelPUREmail.com).   It read:

______________________________________________________

Hi
I’ve been “sitting” on 845 shares of OTHM at the bargin aggregated cost of $550.00 for quite a while.  Is there any hope of breaking even much less coming out ahead?
I’ll be interested in your reply

______________________________________________________

Initially, we were stumped in responding to this for several reasons.   The first being the legal ramifications we could face if we accidentally step over bounds.  The second was simply, how could we in any way tell this shareholder that they actually had a chance of breaking even or maybe coming out ahead?   We couldn’t nor did we.   However, what we could do and did was present the obvious; likely an equally appealing answer depending on what investment decisions that shareholder and their investment advisors ultimately make.

Our response went as such:

______________________________________________________

Mr. John Doe of theUSA,

First, it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to communicate with you Mr. Doe (may we call you John?).   Secondly, we must apologize for the tardy response, but we like to do our best in taking care to answer our fellow shareholders as best as possible.  Unfortunately this communication is due to tenuous concerns, but we will aspire to have happier moments going forward.

Before we answer, please be mindful that we are a public company and therefore are not always at liberty to answer all questions in a matter that may seem satisfactory to you. This will mean, at times we’ll be direct, in others diplomatic, and in some cases… simply “mums the word.”  Also, we are not permitted to provide legal, financial or securities advice and therefore nothing that we say is intended to be deemed or construed as such.

With that said, let it be known that Oriens has seen a new day. We expect to continue on this path of ambition and successful execution. As you will find from our press releases, site information and Corporate Blog, we are in full gear to make a run at the big time.  Does this mean you are going to break even…? NO. Does this mean that you are going to come out ahead…? NO. There is no way of predicting where this stock is going to end up. With a lot of hard work, fortitude and the continued diligence we’ve displayed over the past 3 years, we can only hope for a stronger PPS.

However, as with any micro-cap stock, we can easily trade downward for many reasons. We could one day trip/fall, bump our heads and discontinue the same diligence that has allowed us to flag, operate and/or manage 43 hotels [as of the date of the response], internationally, in just under four years. And if we continue to operate effectively, we may even complete the closing and integration of nearly 27 properties by year end. We’re on a roll John, we are on a roll.

Outside of a technical practice and trading strategy of dollar cost averaging down (speak with your Broker and/or Financial Advisor) — the execution of which is under your sole control — there is nothing that can be done to predict your breaking even or getting ahead.  Ironically, chances are, there may be other people in your same exact situation; that is, folks holding stock at the bargain aggregated price of $0.65 per share or some other price much higher than the current PPS.  Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to dollar cost average down so that their cost basis is no longer $0.65 but say… $0.03, $0.04, $0.05 or $0.06, etc., then they’d obviously have a better chance of breaking even or getting ahead should the stock actually perform.

Ahhh… but therein lays the rub.

No one knows if spending -for example- $1,000 or so to purchase 50,000 shares at $0.02 per share [for example] would result in accomplishing the goal of breaking even or getting ahead because no one knows for sure that the company’s stock will perform. We don’t even know if the company’s stock will perform and we work here!

So again, with apologies for the long winded response… under the current circumstance of your holding stock with a cost basis of $0.65 per share, we’d never suggest the stock price will go up or down much less “up” there [$0.65]. Only you hold the power to slightly adjust your circumstance by employing classic trading strategies should you so choose (please, speak with your Broker and/or Financial Advisor).   Even then, if you were fortunate to get your cost basis down to just mere pennies, we still could not under any circumstance suggest the stock will go up or down much less “up”.  However, the logic of various trading and hedging strategies such as dollar cost averaging down is not to guarantee a breakeven or profit, but rather to give investors a fighting chance to mitigate risk and protect their interest.

Mr. Doe, you are in control of mitigating your own risk.  We are only in control of doing all that we can do in order to as best as possible strengthen and support shareholder value – Oriens is committed to this.

Sincerely,

Team Oriens

When we took a look at this shareholder’s circumstance, we realized this person may not be the only investor in this position.   If you are facing this scenario, we hope this blog posting inspires you to contact your Broker and/or Financial Advisor in order to make the appropriate investment decision going forward.

Oriens’ Hotel PURE Adds Santa Cruz Beach Hotel to Growing Portfolio of Brand Managed Properties

Nearing One Hundred Properties Under the Hotel PURE Brand, New California Beach Front Hotel Increases Visibility of Fast Growing Hotelier

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 7, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. (OTHM.PK) www.OriensCorp.com, announced today that the company has added Santa Cruz beach hotel to its rapidly growing portfolio of properties flagged, owned, operated and/or managed under its Hotel PURE brand (www.HotelPURE.com).

“As a boutique international hospitality company, we are extremely proud of each new domestic hotel we add to the Hotel PURE brand,” stated Ken Chua, President and CEO of Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. “The Santa Cruz property not only increases our overall portfolio size but contributes to our growing domestic holdings while offering the Hotel PURE brand greater visibility to the public at large.”

Integration of the Santa Cruz property is expected to be completed within 60 days. This property could possibly generate yearly revenues of between $50,000 and $80,000 for Oriens beginning in 2012.

On average, Oriens has experienced growth of 238% per year between 2007 and 2010. Eighteen new hotel properties have been added to the Hotel PURE brand Year-to-date, including this Santa Cruz beach front property. It is anticipated that within 2012, Hotel PURE will maintain 100 hotels within its portfolio of branded properties. Known for an advanced internet hotel booking technology and specialized marketing services offered to boutique hotel owners, Oriens appears to be on track to outpace the growth of the past 26 months.

People close to the company continue to suggest that growing the portfolio this quickly is well within the company’s reach. Oriens is currently engaged in discussions with a 180 room destination hotel in Orlando, FL as well as with over 20 additional luxury Bed & Breakfast locations [in addition to six B+B's recently added] — all pending execution during Q4. If these properties are successfully integrated by December 31, Oriens will have secured close to 70% of the 2012 target number by year-end 2011.

Oriens’ Luxury Bed & Breakfast Property Portfolio Increases

Hotel PURE Luxury B&B Brand Gains Traction in North America With 20% Immediate Signups – 50% Rise in Prospects

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. (OTCBB- OTHM.PK)www.OriensCorp.com, operator of the Hotel PURE brand (www.HotelPURE.com), announced that its Luxury Bed & Breakfast prospects have increased to 30 plus, with nearly 20% of those properties having signed on to carry the Hotel PURE flag.

“We see the luxury Bed & Breakfast (B+B) space as an overlooked market,” stated Mr. Ken Chua, President and CEO of Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. “A growing trend in North America, luxury B+B’s are cropping up everywhere as travelers are determined to find less expensive accommodations without giving up comfort. The specific properties we target to be part of our brand are extremely high end multi-million dollar properties.”

Management says that the B+B’s they target are glamorous homes that begin in the $1 million dollar range. The properties are large, modern, stylish and well decorated.

As it relates to revenues, Mr. Chua states, “A singular property is in no way as lucrative as a 180 room property like the one we plan on integrating in Orlando, or even the 50 room beach property we’re closing in California. However, with each luxury B+B property generating a yearly revenue in the low six figures, our revenues, if spread across 20, 30 or maybe 40 of these property types, could add an additional seven figures to Oriens’ bottom line. We intend to grow our Hotel PURE Luxury B&B brand with between 20 and 25 new luxury properties by year’s end.”

With these B+B additions, Oriens continues to experience faster than anticipated growth in hotel flag acquisitions. If successful with all of its new acquisition prospects by the end of this Q4, Oriens will have secured close to 70% of its 2012 target number (100 hotels flagged, owned, operated and/or managed under the Hotel PURE brand) — theoretically, positioning the company to surpass 100 hotels during 2012.

Management is extremely confident in their ability to grow Oriens’ portfolio quickly — possibly closing out 2011 with nearly 70 properties being flagged, operated and/or managed under its Hotel PURE brand.

Rapid Growth of Oriens’ Hotel PURE Brand In Line With Industry Sentiments

Surpassing 2011 Targets, Year-End Growth Can Secure Nearly 70% of the 2012 Expectations — Growth In Line With Accor, IHG & LaSalle Sentiments

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp. (OTC – OTHM.PK), www.OriensCorp.com, announced that its rapidly growing portfolio of properties flagged, operated and/or managed under its Hotel PURE brand (www.HotelPURE.com) is right in line with sentiments echoed by industry leaders such as Accor Hotels, InterContinental Hotel Group and DiamondRock Hospitality Co.

From the time Oriens’ secured its first hotel property in November of 2007, the company’s Hotel PURE brand has emerged — swift and stealth — as a possible player on the larger hospitality stage. By the end of 2010, Oriens’ portfolio had effectively grown an average of 238% per year. Year-to-date, 11 new hotel properties have been added to its portfolio with close to 30 additional properties expected to be closed and integrated by year end.

Known for its advanced Online-Internet Hotel Booking Technology and specialized e-marketing ability offered to boutique hotel property owners, Oriens seems on track to maintain or even outpace the acquisition growth of the past 26 months.

“Despite international crisis and mixed messages regarding the hospitality industry’s stability, the overall market for hotels is beginning to recover well and we have certainly been the benefactors,” stated Mr. Ken Chua, President and CEO of Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp.

Similar thoughts on the market’s recovery were made in the recent past by Denis Hennequi, Accor Hotels CEO. Hennequi told CNBC, “The summer has been extremely strong…as far as we can see October is going well as well.”

Andy Cosslett of InterContinental Hotel Group’s sentiments were analogous, stating, “We’re much more positive today than when we posted results in February…the recovery in the hotel market has been led by China.”

LaSalle Hotel Properties reported Q3 increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR (revenue per available room) and DiamondRock Hospitality Co, CEO, Mark Brugger, whose hotels are operated by various hoteliers such asHilton and Marriott, mentioned having seen good improvements in the third quarter as well, with more people booking rooms and causing room rates to rise, reflecting “strong lodging fundamentals.”

Mr. Chua continued, “The crazy thing is, it was the economic fallout and decline in the hospitality space that actually secured our timely entry into the marketplace. Without that, we could have never gotten on the playing field and established such a presence so quickly; as well as we did. That market decline allowed us to attract the very same boutique hotel properties that major flags like the Sheraton or Holiday Inn were de-franchising (de-branding) regularly. Why the de-franchising? Because these properties simply couldn’t afford the ongoing Property Improvement Programs (PIP) demanded by these franchisors to upgrade the properties to the brand’s interpretation of industry standards. Many of these improvements are frivolous and may not affect the customer’s lodging experience in any way. These PIPs place a huge burden on the property owners, only adding insult to injury when you factor in the previous state of the economy — ultimately leading to lower yearly net revenue. We do not believe that such aggressive PIPs are necessary for the hotel’s stability nor our bottom line. And now that hotel owners have gradually gotten to know who we are, witness our ability to deliver guaranteed room reservations via our Hotel PURE brand and our superior e-marketing solutions, they now have an alternative to working with overpriced hotel brand operators.

“Our internet booking engine technology is top shelf and extremely competitive. You take our advanced electronic reservation system and add the internet marketing services we provide hoteliers and you’ll find why we seem to be outpacing ourselves. Hotel property owners want premium services at much lower costs — with much better results if possible. Hotel PURE makes that possible.”

Oriens indicates it has seen growth and stabilization of revenue amongst its portfolio hotels. With the use of its proprietary tools, internet marketing and software solutions, properties signed on with Hotel PURE have seen substantial increased room reservations and stabilized P&L. In some cases, room sales of its portfolio properties have increased by as much as 37% within 90 days of a hotel joining Hotel PURE; 42% increase overall.

Mr. Chua concluded, “However, it is the oncoming recovery within both the economy and hospitality industry that is affording us the ability to effectively execute on our business model. Given the opportunity, we will continue to prove to boutique hotel operators globally, as well as investors, that Oriens Travel & Hotel Management and our Hotel PURE brand are real contenders in this arena.”

The company has experienced faster growth in hotel acquisitions than anticipated. In addition to the 11 properties added to the company’s portfolio year-to-date, Oriens currently has its sights on immediately integrating a California beach front property, a destination hotel in Orlando, FL, as well as over 20 Luxury Bed & Breakfast locations in North America by year-end 2011. If successful with all of its new acquisitions by the end of this Q4, Oriens will have secured close to 70% of the 2012 target number (100 hotels flagged, owned, operated and/or managed under the Hotel PURE brand) — theoretically, positioning the company to surpass 100 hotels during 2012.

People close to the company suggest that growing the portfolio this quickly is well within reach for Oriens. The brand has now mounted a foothold in the hotelier/hospitality space by offering affordable premium flagging and operational services and is quickly becoming a formidable competitor as an internet marketing and hotel booking engine service provider. Oriens can afford to be more agile and nimble than larger market participants such as hotelier Sheraton or booking engine Hotels.com. This gives management the freedom to aggressively pursue and execute on its business model internationally, at seemingly the most opportune time… during the hospitality market’s oncoming recovery.
