View Additional ProfilesFRESNO, Calif., May 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pro Travel Network, Inc. (OTCBB:PTVL) (the "Company") has announced that effective Friday, May 22, 2009, the Company has officially undergone a name change to PTN Inc. This will serve as a parent company to five separate operating divisions that will be launched this year beginning June 1st.

Company CEO Mr. Paul Henderson commented, "PTN is a travel related company with several travel related offerings. With the launch of several new products on the horizon, we believed that rather than launching them under the Pro Travel Network name, we would launch them as fully separate operating divisions, since they have very little in common with our current Pro Travel Network model."

He added, "This is an exciting time for us, as we believe the fallout of the economic recession has also opened up tremendous opportunities for us. Remaining debt free has allowed us to focus on growth rather than on debt service. We have been spending the last several months working quietly on several new initiatives that are all scheduled to launch by years end."

Mr. Henderson has also made some additions to his management team. He said, "We continue to believe in and be excited about the Pro Travel Network model, and have recently hired Mr. Brian Beane as Vice President to head the continued expansion of Pro Travel Network."

Pro Travel Network, however, will now be one of five distinct PTN global ventures. The recent hiring of Fred McIntosh, as new CFO, is a major factor as he will lead the restructuring of the Company's internal accounting systems to facilitate this growth strategy. To this end we will continue to expand our corporate infrastructure by bringing on talented leaders to run each travel related division.
