NUMBER 1, effective as of January 1, 1999 ("AMENDMENT NUMBER 1"), by and between

"Agreement."

     All initially capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided to them in
the Amended Agreement unless otherwise defined in this AMENDMENT NUMBER 2.  The
parties agree as follows:

1.   To reflect the fact that MS has assigned the Amended Agreement to Expedia,
Inc., a Washington corporation ("Expedia")(a MS majority-owned subsidiary), and
Expedia has agreed to assume and perform all of the obligations of MS under the
Amended Agreement, the parties therefore agree that this AMENDMENT NUMBER 2, is
intended to effect a change in the contracting parties to WTT and Expedia, and
all references in the Amended Agreement to "MS" shall be construed as references
to "Expedia."

2.   To reflect the fact that WTT has assigned the Amended Agreement to TRX, a
Georgia corporation ("TRX"), and TRX has agreed to assume and perform all of the
obligations of WTT under the Amended Agreement, the parties therefore agree that
this AMENDMENT NUMBER 2, is intended to effect a change in the contracting
parties to TRX and Expedia, and all references in the Amended Agreement to "WTT"
shall be construed as references to "TRX."

3.   The first sentence of Section 1 (g) (i) of the Amended Agreement shall be

14.  Section 2 (a) (i) of the Amended Agreement shall be deleted in its

     "(b)  Expedia will pay TRX as follows:

          (i)  Within fifteen (15) days after the end of the calendar month in
     which this AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 is executed, TRX shall provide Expedia with a
     statement setting forth all amounts that are owed to TRX by Expedia as of
     the end of such calendar month (the "Transition Amount").  In the event the
     Transition Amount is greater than any monies on account with TRX as a
     result of fees previously advanced to TRX by Expedia pursuant to the
     Amended Agreement (the "Advanced Fees"), Expedia shall pay TRX the excess
     of the Transition Amount minus the Advanced Fees within fifteen (15) days
     of receipt of the statement.  In the event the Advanced Fees are greater
     than the Transition Amount, TRX shall pay Expedia the

                                       4
<PAGE>

     excess of the Advanced Fees minus the Transition Amount within fifteen (15)
     days of receipt of the statement.

          (ii)  Expedia shall pay TRX the fees as set forth in Exhibit D of the
     Agreement subject to adjustments, deductions or credits to such amounts as
     provided for in this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto (the "Fees").
     Beginning the first calendar month after execution of this Amendment Number
     2, on or before the 1st day of each month, Expedia shall pay TRX Fees based
     on the forecast of Calls and Tickets for such month (the "Forecasted Fee").
     On or before the 15th day after the close of such month, TRX shall invoice
     Expedia the actual Fees (and any applicable Expedia Costs or Customer
     Charge-Backs), adjusted for any incentives, credits or penalties provided
     herein, for such month in accordance with the schedule set forth in
     Attachment 1 to Exhibit G.  The invoice shall include a statement setting
     forth the total number of calls handled that calendar month by TRX in
     connection with the Services and the applicable Fees and any applicable
     Expedia Costs or Customer Charge-Backs for which Expedia is responsible in
     accordance with Section 2(a) of the Agreement.  The statement shall include
     information sufficient to discern how the Fees were calculated and shall be
     in a format to be provided by Expedia.  Except for disputed amounts and
     amounts withheld in good faith by Expedia, Expedia shall pay the excess, if
     any, of the amount indicated in the invoice minus the Forecasted Fee within
     fifteen (15) days after receipt of the invoice.  In the event the
     Forecasted Fee is greater than the amount indicated in the invoice, then
     TRX shall pay Expedia the excess of the Forecasted Fee minus the amount
     indicated in the invoice within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
     invoice by Expedia.  Late payments by either party shall accrue interest at
     a rate of one percent (1%) per month unless Expedia notifies TRX that
     Expedia disagrees with the calculation of the invoiced amount.  In the
     event taxes are required by any U.S. (state or federal) or foreign
     government to be withheld on payments made hereunder by Expedia to TRX,
     Expedia may deduct such taxes from the amount owed TRX and pay them to the
     appropriate taxing authority.  Expedia shall in turn promptly secure and
     deliver to TRX an official receipt for any taxes withheld that are owed by
     TRX.  Expedia will use reasonable efforts to minimize such taxes to the
     extent permissible under applicable law.  "

17.  The first sentence of Section 8 (f) is amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

     "(n)  Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, other than
     termination by TRX because of nonpayment by Expedia which is not cured
     within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice sent by TRX to Expedia
     regarding such nonpayment, (i) TRX shall cooperate with Expedia, its
     subsidiaries or affiliates, to assist in the orderly transition of Services
     to Expedia, or as Expedia may direct, in a professional manner, with no
     disruption of the Services; and (ii) TRX shall remove all software and
     equipment provided by Expedia and shall deliver all such software and
     equipment to Expedia, including but not limited to those items detailed in
     Exhibit B, subject to TRX's possible option to purchase set forth in
     Section 8(g)(i)."

          (ii)  In addition, within sixty (60) days after the effective date of
     termination or expiration of this Agreement, the parties shall reconcile
     all accounts hereunder and TRX shall promptly refund and return to Expedia
     any unearned Fees, if any, and Expedia shall promptly pay to TRX any
     amounts that it may properly owe to TRX in accordance with this Agreement.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Expedia acknowledges that TRX may receive
     debit memos, chargebacks, LTA fees and other invoices after such sixty (60)
     day period and accordingly agrees to pay any of such amounts properly owed
     to TRX in accordance with this Agreement."

entirety.

Report Delivery Schedule - Monthly Schedule of Due Dates (through CY01):

1    ARC data is not available until ARC is closed. This always occurs on the
     Thursday following the week containing the last day of the month. For
     instance, February 29 occurs on a Tuesday. The ARC closing for that week
     does not occur until Thursday, 3/9
2    Once ARC is closed, the download begins. Currently the download takes 24
     hours. As volume grows, this download is expected to take significantly
     longer to achieve and will need to be broken into smaller and smaller time
     periods.
3    Considering the above, the monthly report can not be produced until the
     Monday following the final ARC close.
4    Hardcopy and all back-up data to be shipped same day soft copy is sent
