Oriens Adds Five Green Certified Hotels to Its Hotel PURE Portfolio
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 9, 2008 — Oriens Travel & Hotel Management Corp., an emerging Travel and Hotel Management Company operating online travel booking site 128trip.com and hotel management subsidiary Hotel PURE, is pleased to report that it has added five Green certified hotels in Costa Rica to its Hotel PURE portfolio this week.

Following the addition of a new eco-friendly brand, Hotel PURE GREEN, which debuted on August 20, 2008, the company has added five new hotels, which are GREEN certified or participated in the government of Costa Rica’s Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST), to its Hotel PURE offerings this week. Travelers traveling to Costa Rica who wish to stay in these special eco-friendly hotels can now book these beautiful hotels through the Hotel PURE website under the Green Hotels section. Room rates for these hotels will remain affordable, ranging from $48-$92 per night.

With the recent migration of a large number of vacation tourists from the Caribbean to Central America looking for natural wonders other than the beach and sun, the government of Costa Rica is forecasting a 20% increase of tourists in 2008 — from 1.9 million visitors last year to 2.4 million visitors this year. This is evidenced by the increase of flights by major airlines flying into San Jose and Liberia, Costa Rica, amid decreases of flights into the Caribbean countries and Mexico.

Ken Chua, President of Oriens comments, “Adding these eco-friendly GREEN hotels to our Hotel PURE portfolio is merely our first step to promoting these hotels. We will introduce a new unique tour with accommodation experiences in these hotels shortly to further expose the green of Costa Rica.”
