SANTO DOMINGO, DR, October 19, 2006. Viva Wyndham Resorts celebrates its 10th anniversary this December and commemorates the significant milestone with tremendous year-long promotional offerings to its guests throughout 2007. "Viva Wyndham Resorts is extremely proud of this milestone and owes much of its success to its guests and its friends in tourism industry," said Ettore Colussi, president of Viva Wyndham Resorts. "In today's highly competitive and volatile market, our 10-year anniversary is a testament to the Viva Wyndham experience we deliver repeatedly to our clients. That's something to be proud of and as thanks we are offering more unique ways to celebrate similar milestones in their lives at Viva Wyndham."

The 10th Anniversary of Viva Wyndham Resorts represents a significant milestone for the company, especially in light of the rising competition and consolidation that has taken place within the hotel and resort industry over the past several years. This milestone is reflective of its business and financial success and represents the culmination of a 10-year brand building process, resulting in tremendous growth and awareness within the consumer, group and wholesale audience segments.

In 1997, Viva Wyndham Resorts was founded to meet the growing need for a value-packed, all-inclusive product among a diverse range of leisure travelers. Since then it has grown to eight, all-inclusive properties located throughout the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and Mexico. "Our company is built upon the philosophy of providing a true vacation experience that begins at the heart of the destination and incorporates culturally inspired ambiance, a high-energy yet comfortable atmosphere, and international accents on both food and service," said Colussi.

This philosophy has remained steadfast and as a result, Viva Wyndham Resorts has become one of the fastest growing all-inclusive resort and management operations in the Caribbean and Mexico. Through the past 10 years Viva Wyndham has surpassed many milestones, from property openings and multi-million dollar renovations to a strategic alliance with Wyndham. In 2003, Viva Resorts and Wyndham entered into a strategic alliance that drew upon the core competencies of the partnering companies to ensure its guests enjoyed a consistent, upscale hotel product and a cost-effective exceptional and culturally-rich vacation experience.

In addition to the Wyndham alliance, the resort has seen several new developments, such as the opening of the Viva Wyndham Tangerine resort in the Dominican Republic in 2004; the $20 million acquisition, remodel and expansion of a resort in Saman'a, Dominican Republic, now known as Viva Wyndham Samana; and the $17 million renovation of the Mexico properties - Viva Wyndham Maya and Viva Wyndham Azteca. Today, the Viva Wyndham brand continues to grow in its culture, resort offerings and the unique experience it provides to guests.

To celebrate the milestone, Viva Wyndham wants to thank its guests for indulging in its culture, its entertainment, its dining, its various activities, its experienced staff and its superb beaches with the following tremendous offerings:

-- Groups Celebration Offerings - Groups of 10 or more receive VIP treatment for the tour leader, including a room upgrade and special amenities in the room upon arrival.
