QUINCY, Mass. ­ November 5, 2002 ­ Paul Rantilla, vice president of sales for Passkey, the meetings and conventions standard for group hospitality management and distribution, announced today the addition of two Boca Resorts, Inc., flagship properties ­ the Boca Raton Resort & Club and The Registry Resort at Pelican Bay ­ to Passkey¹s growing customer base. Citing a desire to further serve today¹s time-strapped meeting and event planners, Boca Resorts selected Passkey because of the system¹s robust technology and quickly growing reputation as the industry standard in the group hospitality space.

John Tolbert, vice president of sales and marketing for Boca Resorts, Inc., explains, "Group related business represents upwards of 70% of all activity at both the Boca Raton Resort & Club and The Registry Resort at Pelican Bay.  What has always distinguished a Boca Resort property from any other facility is our commitment to superb customer service.  Having the ability to offer planners the speed, ease and real-time access to all event specific information that Passkey provides gives us a clear competitive advantage in the group space."

Boca Resorts will offer meeting and event planners at the two properties access to Passkey¹s reservation processing system, the most streamlined group booking experience available in the marketplace.  As a result, meeting planners at either location will have accurate visibility into how their meetings, regardless of size, progress and actualize, and attendees will enjoy a simplified online or call-in booking experience.

With Passkey, meeting planners have the ability to create a secure, customized single-entry Web page for their attendees.  Attendees, in turn, log onto this page at their convenience and can search through the rooms, amenities and services available at each property, book their accommodations, specify personal needs or preferences, and make any last minute changes.  This information, in turn, is maintained in a centralized database, affording both the hotel and planner the ability to access consistent, accurate room block information in real-time.  Anticipating and fully understanding that all clients and their attendees may not have access to a computer, Passkey also provides planners with traditional booking methods including phone, fax and mail.

Rantilla observes, "Like a fine hotel, Passkey is about meeting all the needs of our diverse client base:  hotels, planners, attendees.  Through our GroupLinkSM data transfer capability, we can interface with Boca Resorts¹ central reservation system, further streamlining the group booking process and making it more efficient, saving both hotels and planners considerable time and money."
