CIBT Education Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MBA)(AMEX:MBA) is pleased to report that
it has acquired Tourism Training Institute ("TTI"), an accredited education
institution headquartered in Vancouver, Canada with branch offices in Beijing,
China. TTI is an established educator and has been in operation for 19 years in
Vancouver's Lower Mainland and for 4 years in China. CIBT has acquired selective
assets including approvals but no liabilities, of TTI. TTI's Canadian operations
will be integrated with Sprott-Shaw Community College ("SSCC"), a subsidiary of
CIBT. TTI's operations in Beijing will be consolidated with CIBT operations in
China.


Post acquisition, TTI will become a specialist in the CIBT Education Group of
companies by focusing on specialized degree and diploma programs such as hotel
management, travel tourism, gaming and resort management, convention management,
flight attendant training and other hospitality programs in China and Asia
Pacific. Senior management from TTI will be retained to continue the TTI
operations and expand this new division for CIBT, as well as providing
professional advice to CIBT's Canadian subsidiary, SSCC. TTI's exclusive
distribution rights for the Educational Institute of the American Hotel &
Lodging Association Licenses (AHLA-EI) and its Chinese language curricula will
become valuable assets in growing CIBT's travel and tourism division.


"According to tourism industry reports, China and other neighboring
countries/cities such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau and Thailand are
expecting significant growth in the travel tourism sector in the coming years,"
commented Toby Chu, Vice-Chairman and CEO of CIBT. "Our acquisition of TTI is
intended to increase our revenue, reduce the learning curve for our new
division, and expand the breadth and depth of our management expertise."
