Lexington Services is the largest provider of hotel reservations in North America and second largest in the world, with development representative offices in Germany, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia and Asia. Lexington Services is a major component of Travel Services International�s Lodging segment. 

As of June 15, Lexington Services successfully completed the first of three simulated migrations to the new SPIRIT ^TM hotel reservation system. The simulated migrations entail electronically loading a copy of all Lexington�s hotel member�s property data into the SPIRIT system. Lexington�s technical team confirmed the data was successfully transferred, and the integrity of the copied data was maintained. 

The new SPIRIT system will offer truly integrated functions to hotels, such as automatic rate changes in the SPIRIT, GDS and Internet Distribution Systems; major reporting enhancements with more access to production and marketing data and revenue management features, like Vapor Message management, that allow hotels to immediately implement and control marketing messages. Lexington will migrate its 4,000 member hotels to the new system in August 2001. The system migration will be one of the largest ever of its kind in the hospitality industry.

�Lexington has carefully planned the conversion process and we are excited about offering our hotel members the new, state-of-the-art technology of SPIRIT,� said Zolon Wilkins III, president of Lexington Services.  �These steps are simply a part of our ongoing commitment to ensure a smooth transition to the new system, while keeping our hotel members� information safely intact.�
