Press Release Summary = Spot Local is the first to create a platform which is 100%
powered by the people who either live in the "Spot" or are travellers' to the
"Spot".

Red Sea, Egypt (PRWEB) October 30, 2006 --Spot Local decided to totally revamp their
existing websites-www.spotdubai.com, www.spotmaldives.com, www.spotredsea.com and
www.spotseychelles.com -and will
launch a completely new style of website using web 2.0 concepts at the WTM in London
Nov 6th.

Press Release Body = Chris Cyr | Canada
Managing Director:
"The current websites are attractive and succeed to serve the community with a local
business directory,
classifieds and forums, but we decided we wanted more out of our application. Our
idea was to add a Travel
Booking Engine to the existing Community Portal, power it 100% by people and spice
it up with some Ajax.
Since moving to the Red Sea from Canada in 1996, I have dreamt about creating a
site, which would allow
people to meet, share, buy and sell. As well as empower the destination itself to
target a larger market."

Mohamed Aly A.Fattah | Egypt
Management Consultant:
"In addition, our users require a dynamic and flexible site, that is very adaptable
to their ever changing world,
so we have built our application around RichFaces, an Ajax-enabled JSF component
solution, from Exadel.
RichFaces has allowed us to integrate various internal and external systems to offer
not only a world class
end user experience, but provide rich business functionality for our customers, all
in a very short time."

Tamer Mohktar | Egypt
Internal Development Director:
"We decided to start with Dubai, Maldives, Red Sea and Seychelles, because they are
close to our hearts in
one way or another. All of these locations have a unique atmosphere because they are
inhabited by so many
different kinds of multinational people who have decided to make these "Spots" their
home because of
tourism & lifestyle choice".

Sebastian Kokoszko | Poland Creative Director: "It's really exciting and challenging
to bring so many elements together and still display it in a fresh and consistent
way. It has been a fun challenge as a designer to embrace new techniques."

Anina Dippenaar | South Africa Customer Care: "Visitors who arrive at any of the
Spot Local sites can expect to find a colorful, friendly site filled with offers
from hotels, diving and wind/kite surfing centers plus many others. With real-time
booking functions and a powerful search engine, visitors can search, compare and
save. We provide our suppliers with an easy to use control panel where they can
upload their products and services. Our suppliers also gain the ability to accept
credit card payments when they sell through Spot Local."

Marie Dieulot | France Human Resources: "Travel buyers and local residents who
contribute to the site will be recognized and awarded not only for sharing their
knowledge and opinions but also for helping to improve and rank the quality of the
content. Our goal is to have high quality information on each business, travel
article and product/service, which users can rely on to make their choices."

Milena Vercesi | Italy Marketing Executive: "As a new resident in the Red Sea, I am
patiently waiting to use the features we have created. I want to share my stories,
ratings and comments about some of my hangouts. I'm also hoping to learn more about
my new home from all the others out there."
