PARSIPPANY, N.J (July 8, 2003) � Cendant Corporation�s Hotel Group today announced the launch of an online information �mall� developed exclusively for government and military consumers.

The Web site, www.cendantgovmall.com, functions as a one-stop information center for government and military consumers who wish to learn more about Cendant Corporation�s travel, real estate and financial services and current rates and discounts.

The Government Mall offers information about Cendant�s nine hotel brands � Days Inn, Ramada Howard Johnson, Super 8, Travelodge, Wingate Inn, AmeriHost Inn, Knights Inn and Villager � as well as Budget and Avis car rentals, Fairfield Resorts, Resort Condominiums International, Cendant Mobility, Cendant Mortgage and Jackson Hewitt for tax services.
