            Viad Corp Announces Resignation of Kimbra A. Fracalossi,
             President and CEO of Its Exhibitgroup/Giltspur Division


     PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 2006--Viad Corp (NYSE:VVI) today
announced that Kim Fracalossi has resigned as president and chief executive
officer of its Exhibitgroup/Giltspur division to pursue other interests.
Fracalossi has agreed to continue working with the company in a consulting role
to ensure a smooth transition to new leadership for Exhibitgroup. Until a new
president and chief executive officer of Exhibitgroup is named, the senior
management team of Exhibitgroup will report to Paul B. Dykstra, chief operating
officer of Viad Corp.
     "I went to Exhibitgroup/Giltspur to turn the business around and this has
been accomplished," said Fracalossi. "Exhibitgroup/Giltspur's improved
performance in the back half of 2005 reinforces my belief that the company now
has the infrastructure in place to profitably grow the business while
maintaining its strong cost discipline."
     Robert H. Bohannon, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Viad
said, "When Kim assumed the role of president and CEO of Exhibitgroup in June
2002, she was charged with leading a major business restructuring effort. Kim
has done a terrific job of rationalizing the cost structure and improving the
processes of Exhibitgroup to transform it into a much stronger and more
efficient organization. We thank Kim for her leadership during a very important
and challenging phase at Exhibitgroup and wish her well in her future
endeavors."
     Dykstra added, "Kim has certainly been instrumental in repositioning
Exhibitgroup for success. The company now has an efficient infrastructure, great
processes and a strong management team. The company has tremendous potential. I
look forward to working more closely with the Exhibitgroup team to ensure a
smooth and successful transition to new leadership and to ensure that we reach
our potential."
     Viad is an S&P SmallCap 600 company. Major subsidiaries include GES
Exposition Services, Inc. of Las Vegas, Exhibitgroup/Giltspur of Chicago,
