Universal Travel Group CFO Interviewed on Bloomberg TV Asia

SHENZHEN, China, April 29 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Universal Travel Group Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UTVL) ("Universal Travel Group" or the "Company"), a growing travel services provider in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") specializing in online and customer representative services to the travel service industry offering packaged tours, air ticketing, hotel reservation and air cargo agency services, today announced that Mr. Jing Xie, Chief Financial Officer of Universal Travel Group, was featured in a live interview on Bloomberg TV Asia's Asia Confidential at 11:30A.M. Hong Kong time, Tuesday, April 28, 2009, where he discussed current trends in the travel industry.

In response to questions about the impact of the global economic crisis on the travel industry in the People's Republic of China, Mr. Xie said that the industry was still showing strong demand. He indicated that domestic tourism income receipts grew by 12.9% in the first quarter of 2009, similar to the 12.6% growth achieved in 2008 compared to 2007. China's central and local governments also assisted the industry by providing travel vouchers and increased the length of public holidays.

Regarding the growth in consumer demand, Mr. Xie said, "We have seen an increase in the volume of inquiries as we quickly approach the Labor Day holiday in May. Travel expenditure by consumers in the past twelve months have been strong, evidenced by the recent hike in ticket prices." He noted that the government recently instituted a new airfare pricing system designed to partially roll back some of the deep discounting that has battered airline industry earnings.

According to a consumer survey published by China Confidential, A Financial Times Publication, on April 2, 2009, "Demand for personal travel expenditure remains robust, as demonstrated by the 71% of respondents who said that they would keep holiday expenditure the same or increase it this year."

In the interview, Mr. Xie highlighted that while consumers are still sensitive to price, they are mainly looking for service packages with great quality and value. Travel agencies that can provide "high-quality travel packages with discounted prices will be very attractive to Chinese travelers."
