target of $2.00. The report by Dutton senior analyst Richard West,
CFA is available at www.jmdutton.com as well as from First Call,
Bloomberg, Zacks, Knobias, Reuters, and other leading financial
portals. Pro Travel is conducting a relatively young
direct-to-consumer service business that leverages the home-based
business concepts with the travel industry. Pro Travel believes
they offer one of the most unique and comprehensive independent

Travel has established strong relationships with travel providers
for cruises, air travel, hotels, and auto rentals. Evidence of the

since 2006. Pro Travel�s revenue continues to increase on a
comparable quarter basis; total revenue for six months ended
