Nassau Paradise Island Promotions Board (NPIPB) Contracts with HotelView in a Pioneering Promotional Venture

POMPANO BEACH, FL – June 13, 2000 – The Nassau Paradise Island Promotions Board (NPIPB) and HotelView Corporation, a subsidiary of Visual Data Corporation (NASDAQ:VDAT), have jointly announced that the NPIPB has become the first tourism board to join the HotelView’s innovative Internet video content delivery program. As a result of this agreement, HotelView adds a new dimension to its rapidly expanding portfolio – promoting entire destinations through on-line streaming video. As the NPIPB sets the standard for other tourism boards to reap the benefits of online video touring, millions of Internet users will be able to custom tailor a vacation with greater ease then ever before. They will have the capacity to fully explore not only the hotels and resorts of a particular destination, but also its key area attractions and recreational activities.

“We decided to sign with HotelView because the company is globally recognized as a leader in online streaming video presentations,” said Michael Rigg, executive director of NPIPB. “We also realize, in this age of technology, how important it is for viewers to get a good sense of what the properties as well as the destination’s attractions look like prior to embarking.”

Said David Chestler, general manager for HotelView, “We are delighted that NPIPB has proactively sought us out to promote their destination. Nassau and Paradise Island have embraced our premiere travel planning Internet tool as a means to gain the greatest exposure for their constituency. There’s no doubt in my mind that other tourism boards will be inspired by NPIPB and follow suit.”

HotelView will work with the NPIPB to enhance the Nassau website as well as establish links to the NPIPB property videos from a wide variety of other travel related sites. Viewers will then be able to surf among 25 NPIPB member properties, both independent and brand-affiliated, and an assortment of area attractions and recreational activities on Nassau through various links created by HotelView.

HotelView’s extensive library currently features compelling, interactive video tours of over 150 individual properties, both independent and brand-affiliated, worldwide. These range from premier luxury resorts to business-oriented city center hotels, throughout 17 states within the U.S. as well as Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. And their ranks continue to grow.

HotelView produces high-quality hotel video “vignettes” for the Internet that take viewers on a compelling interactive video tour of the property. A sales aid for travel and meeting planning professionals and a marketing tool for hoteliers, the videos are strategically distributed through an extensive network of travel-, leisure- and business-related sites that can be reached from various sources on the Web such as Yahoo!® Broadcast, MADSearch, All-Hotels, TravelWeb(Pegasus), Snap (NBCi) and RoadRunner among others. They are also accessible through the hotel’s own web site and the HotelView library at http://www.hotelview.com.

HotelView Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Visual Data Corporation (NASDAQ: VDAT). It is the flagship of the company’s Visual Data Travel Group, which also includes AttractionView®, GolfersView® and ResortView®, with CruiseView™, and DestinationView® sites premiering soon.
