Mid-Winter Blues Finds More Travelers Searching for Ft. Lauderdale Vacation Rentals




Ft Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

With the mid-February exodus to warmth and sun just around the corner, more travelers are seeking a winter respite this year than last, a sign that the troubled economy may be improving. While many northerners are still feeling the bite of a tight economy along with the bite of another frigid winter, more winter-weary vacationers are turning to the Internet and Vacation Rental Organiztion to find Florida vacation rentals priced low enough to make such a hiatus possible.

Ft. Lauderdale Vacation Rentals has created a site for travelers to find privately owned apartments, condos, and homes in the island city and surrounding areas, and rent them directly from the property owner. The newest trend in no-hotel accommodations is cost friendly for families and groups of friends looking to vacation affordably in Floridas high tourist season.

Through Ft. Lauderdale vacation rentals, travelers can rent a five-bedroom estate home that sleeps eight, five minutes from the beach, or a beachfront bungalow for two, for a weekend or a week at rates well below those of area hotels. The added perks that come with a vacation rental in a private home, above and beyond the cost savings, is the kitchen, laundry, and in Fort Lauderdale usually a private pool, outdoor grill and all the amenities that go with staying in a private home.

A three bedroom, two bath privately owned duplex in nearby Hollywood Beach that sleeps eight can be rented for $ 215 per night, or $ 1395 to $ 1495 per week. A beachside studio cottage for two, with a full kitchen will run between $ 80 – $ 110 per night, or $ 420 – $ 600 for a week. And a two-bedroom, two bath luxury villa that sleeps seven in a quiet community of finger islands called Citrus Isles costs between $ 180 and $ 375 per night or $ 900 to $ 2250 per week, depending on when its occupied.

We have found that more and more visitors are discovering Fort Lauderdale vacation rentals when they search online for an affordable alternative to a hotel, said John Romano, founder of Fort Lauderdale Vacation Rentals.

If you have a family with three or four kids, a private condo or with a kitchen and all the comforts of home is probably going to serve your better than a hotel, and its going to cost you a lot less too.

Visitors are amazed at the value they find when they lose any preconceived notions about how much a beachfront vacation rental in Florida might cost when they start comparison shopping and look outside the box, he said.

Artisan Business Group Assists EB-5 Capital Seekers in South Korea




Springfield, IL (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

Brian Su, CEO of Artisan Business Group, Inc., gladly announces that Artisan Business Group, Jin Lee Law Group (California) and Hwapyung D&C (Korea) are jointly representing US EB-5 regional centers and project developers to Korean Investors at the 23rd Korea Emigration & Investment Fair 2012/Spring. The event organized by Korea Trade Fairs Ltd., will be held April 7-8 at COEX in Seoul, Korea. In addition to China, South Korea is the 2nd largest market for EB-5 regional center program. The Korea Emigration & Investment Fair will have more energy than ever before as more people are interested in emigrating from Korea. The Korean Economy is recovering from an extended depression making the citizens much more willing and excited to invest in foreign countries.

The strong currency rate of the Korean Won has contributed to a larger number of people making investments abroad. In addition, the high cost of education at home makes the EB-5 Program very attractive to Koreans concerned about their childrens education. There are also other factors which contribute greatly to Koreans investing in the EB-5 regional center program such as early retirement from their work and pursuing a better life. Due to all of these factors affecting the Korean people, the amount of overseas investment is expected to surpass the pre-Korean currency crisis.

The 23rd Korea Emigration & Investment Fair 2012/Spring is expected to be as large of a success as the Fall/2011 Fair which exceeded over 20,000 visitors. Korean Investors are still very interested in emigration and investing abroad. The 23rd Korea Emigration & Investment Fair is the event American businesses want to attend to develop the relationships needed for doing business in Korea. Some industries that will have exhibits at the fair will be emigration agents, employment agents, franchise consultants, real estate developers, real estate agents, embassies, banks/insurances, investment consulting, and hotel & resort operators. Participating in the one and only emigration fair in Korea might be a cost effective way to promote EB-5 investment projects to Korean investors.

Bangkok, Thailand (PRWEB) February 05, 2012

A dream house in a unique coastal location

The villa started out as a dream for the owner, Philippe Salmon, who fell in love with Krabi on his first visit in 1997. The French lawyer, who is also a music buff and collector of antique toys, had traveled extensively in Asia prior to finding what he describes as this magical place. He conceived the idea of creating a space here for friends and family to meet in complete comfort and style, yet still in the embrace of the magnificent natural surroundings.

InterContinental Hotels To Recruit For 400,000 Jobs


(PRWEB UK) 5 February 2012

The announcement of a new global recruitment initiative by the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) could indicate that the recruitment in the hospitality sector is entering an upswing.

The hotel group has announced this week that it is to recruit for some 400,000 new staff over the next four years. It currently has the hotel industrys largest development pipeline, with work currently underway on 1,100 new hotels.

IHGs global talent systems manager, Claire Guberg, said they would be undertaking a comprehensive face-to-face and online recruitment process to make sure they find the best possible staff for the job.

We need people who are brand aware – what we call ‘brand-hearted’ – who can deliver our vision to our customers and our team so that our hotels are successful, she said. We believe that the best way of getting that level of awareness is to look internally for the key positions that we need around the globe.

The company already has 4,500 hotels around the world with more than 666,000 hotel rooms and is opening up new premises at a rate of one a day somewhere in the world.

The company hosts a biannual Careers Week, which encourages existing employees to go into their internal online recruitment system and create a profile. The Careers Week in September 2011 saw 5,000 people from 89 countries create profiles.

Click Asia Summit 2012 Three Days of Learning, Networking and Business


Mumbai, Maharastra (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

Click Asia Summit 2012 turned the usual conference format on its head by dedicating the first evening entirely to networking. This networking gala was hosted at Mumbai’s The Comedy Store, where delegates mingled over delicious food, drinks and a healthy dose of rib-tickling stand-up comedy by hilarious national and international performers.

On Day 2, learning began in earnest. The keynote address was delivered by Former United Nations Under-Secretary General and sitting MP Dr. Shashi Tharoor. Dr.Tharoor is widely known for his prominent social media savvy and at Click Asia Summit 2012, he tackled the burning question of social media censorship head-on, making it clear that while freedom of speech does not give the right to spread hatred and panic, he was no fan of censorship and was willing to err on the side of generosity when it came to free speech.

It was great to see such a wide range of participants. The energy and enthusiasm the delegates brought to the conference reflects the opportunities for digital media in India. – Lucy McCabe

The other keynote speakers were Cyriel Kortleven from new shoes today and Lucy McCabe, from OgilvyOne. While Cyriel’s session was all about tapping the creative potential of the human mind and breaking fixed thinking patters, punctuated by heavy audience interaction and humor, Lucy concentrated on the present and future of digital marketing in India and Asia, stating that for the next generation, digital was the same as normal.

The digital is normal mantra would come up over and over again during the conference, as speakers from companies like Google, Star TV, Turner Broadcasting, Adobe, Saatchi and Saatchi, Taj Hotels and TripAdvisor reiterated similar sentiments. Post-lunch, the conference ran on three parallel tracks, focusing on Technology, Social Media and Search respectively, with delegates free to swap between sessions.

…the response was amazing , I guess the number of attendees were far more than what I had anticipated… – Mahesh Murthy

The overall positive buzz around the event naturally spilled over to the social web, where the official hashtag of the event, #CAS12, was soon trending throughout the country on Twitter. Delegates took to the microblogging site to congratulate speakers for powerful, engaging sessions and to tell the world about how much fun they were having even while they were learning.

Here are some of the things delegates had to say about the event on the social web:
