Corporate Boat Cruises Are Gaining Steam

February 25th, 2010

One industry that is gaining steam is the provider of corporate boat cruises. These smaller cruise lines and yacht leasing companies are attracting more business through better advertising, deluxe services, and fantastic rates. Encouragingly, more and more corporations are joining in the trend and booking mini-cruises for their employees and clientele.

If you research corporate boat cruises into any search engine and you will find dozens of companies vying for your business. Overall, they are pretty much the same with the exception of some pricing and a variation in the amenities offered. There are also companies who specialize in yacht rentals that may meet the same need. Most of the cruise and yacht companies are willing to negotiate a price should you have special needs or requests.

Corporations that normally utilize in-house facilities or hotel suites and conference rooms are now joining the cause. The main reason is that small cruise lines can now compete with hotel rates and in many ways, offer greater value. The amenities a cruise ship or yacht can offer are in most cases vastly superior to that of a hotel.

Reasons corporations book hotels or cruises vary from company to company. Whether your corporation is networking, making a presentation to clients, conducting training or brainstorming meetings, or enjoying some good old fashioned camaraderie and corporate/workforce bonding, corporate boat cruises have the facilities you need. Based on my research, they have a package for just about every type of corporate function. All of the packages are completely flexible and you can even create a package of your own.

Some cruise lines have an older and quainter fleet of vessels that are like floating museums restored to their original luster. Others sport modern ships over one hundred feet long and use up-to- date technology like GPS and satellite TV. Whether your tastes run from nostalgic or conventional, corporate boat cruises have something to offer everyone.

The cost of a small cruise ship compared to hotel facilities is close. The cruise ship is a few hundred dollars more but many of the extras that you would pay a hotel are included in the cruise package making it the better value. Just like hotels, pricing ranges from cruise company to cruise company. On average, $1.000 to $4.000 is about standard depending on the length of the cruise and the entertainment or dining package included.

Virtually every corporate boat cruise business has an event manager that you will speak with when inquiring. This person will guide you through the entire process from your first contact to the actual experience. These professional salespersons are highly trained and very good at making sure you get the most bang for your buck. They specialize in hospitality and corporate events right down to the details of what food is served, staffing, and destination planning.

Here are a few tips you may need when you book your first corporate boat cruises with business or pleasure in mind. Have all your eggs in one basket as this will limit the time and amount of calls in which you will have to be involved. Know your dates but be ready to be flexible. This may mean you will have to plan your corporate cruise well in advance of the initial call. Being prepared is the hardest part of booking a corporate cruise. Be prepared to have some fun as well.

If visiting the Toronto Harbour inspires your adventurous and fun loving side, then Toronto cruises are perfect for you! Tourists and vacationers can find plenty of excitement aboard Halloween cruises.

The Mapes Hotel: Lost Landmark Of Northern Nevada History

February 16th, 2010

The Mapes Hotel in Reno, Nevada met its demise on Superbowl Sunday of 2000 when 75 pounds of explosives packed inside the structure’s support columns brought it to the ground. The controlled demolition came despite years of effort by a number of groups within the community to preserve the building with lawsuits, redevelopment proposals, and grass roots lobbying efforts. The National Turst for Historic Preservation even took up the cause, challenging the destruction in a lawsuit that eventually reached the Nevada Supreme Court.

While the efficacy and justification of demolishing the Mapes is debatable, one thing that is not is the glorious history of the hotel. It was built in’47, and signaled the start of the modern era of casino gambling. Despite the notoriety of Bugsy Siegel and the Flamingo in Las Vegas, it was the Mapes that became the first building in the nation to have a hotel, casino and live entertainment under one roof. It also became the hotel of choice for celebrities staying in Northern Nevada. Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe stayed at The Mapes during the filming of ‘The Misfits’. Joseph McCarthy, America’s famed anti-Communist crusader, admitted to a reporter over cocktails in the Mapes Lounge that he really didn’t have a list of Communists in the US despite his frequent and vitriolic insistence to the contrary.

In the 50s and 60s it became, along with Lake Tahoes Cal-Neva Lodge the place to be seen in Northern Nevada. The top floor, window-walled Sky Room showcased performances by the legends: Sinatra, Louis Prima, Mae West, Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., and the Marx Brothers among others. Subsequent years were not kind to downtown Reno but the Mapes prospered during the 60’s and 70’s. The hotel finally closed in’82, due more to financial difficulties experienced by the Mapes family caused by one of their other Northern Nevada gaming properties than anything else.

Reno never experienced the massive growth that occurred in Las Vegas and southern Nevada, and for that reason the destruction of the Mapes is more open to debate than the hotel demolitions to the south. Even the demolition of The Sands–perhaps the most historically significant casino in the state–is hard to argue against given the inability of such a small property to compete in the current Las Vegas marketplace and in light of the value of the mid-strip real estate. The old properties may have historic value to pop culture historians, but their survival doesn’t make economic sense. They’re simply ‘analog players in a digital world’.

This is not the case in Reno, where land and buildings for development in virtually every casino area are abundant. The official reason that the Mapes had to come down was that the city needed the land–which sits along the banks of the Truckee River–to expand its riverside district of art galleries, restaurants and shops. The revitalization of downtown Reno is definitely needed and a legitimate goal, but at the same time it is hard to think that the Mapes was a barrier to this. Indeed, a number of proposals for redevelopment including office space, artists lofts and upscale senior housing would have probably served to enhance the livability of the downtown area. For whatever reason, the City Redevelopment Authority wouldn’t approve any of the proposals and the fate of the Mapes was sealed.

The role of the City Redevelopment Authority was questioned throughout the process. Overlooking the Truckee River, the hotel was on a prime location between the downtown casino area and the riverfront district. A number of sound financial proposals were presented that would preserve the integrity of the structure including condominiums, office space, and perhaps most viable, upscale senior apartments. Oddly, all of these proposals were turned down by the citys Redevelopment Agency which continued to maintain that demolition was the only viable option despite copious evidence to the contrary.

After the demolition of The Mapes Hotel, the lot remained vacant for almost a year until a temporary ice skating rink was constructed in the winter of 2001. The site now houses a permanent ice skating rink which, while not a bad use for the land, brings into question the insistence by the City Redevelopment Agency that none of the proposals to preserve the building were viable. Clearly, they had no specific plan or even general idea of what to do with the land but for some reason wanted to see the hotel come down. This has led to all manner of speculation, ranging from financial self interest to a rumor that the structure was ‘haunted’ and needed to be destroyed to forestall future paranormal activity in Washoe County. Whatever the reason, the city of Reno lost a valuable landmark of a more civilized era.

6 Places for a Great Holiday in Turkey

February 4th, 2010

Turkey has everything you need for a great summer vacation. The sun normally shines the whole day, and the beaches are perfect for relaxing. The nightlife doesnt stop until the morning, and the Turkeys kitchen is nominated as the third best in the world.

If you just want to relax, you can spend the whole day on the beach. If you want some action, you can try one of the water sports: jet skiing, parasailing or the banana boat. Or you can just play a game of beach volleyball.

If you get tired sun bathing, you can trek in the mountain. If you like it a little wilder, mountain climbing and ravine climbing is also a possibility. Other options are diving, rafting and sea kayaking.

10 % of all tourists in Turkey stays in Alanya. And the reason is probably the great combination of beaches and sights. The most interesting sight is the castle hill 250 meter (820 feet) above the sea. From the top you can see how the hill divides the two beaches. There is also a great view of Alanya and the surrounding country.

If you bring your kids, a popular attraction is the Water Planet Aquapark. It is one of Turkeys largest water parks with everything from rafting and water slides to bungee jumping and crazy golf. Alanya does also have a lot of shops with both real and fake branded goods. The night can be spent in the many discos and bars.

Antalya is a little different than the other holiday destinations. The city is not the typical fisher village that has grown into a holiday village. The city has 500,000 residents, so here you see more locals than tourists. It also means that you get a better insight into the real Turkey.

In Alanya you will find a lot of shopping streets, centers and bazaars. But there are also a lot of great sights. In the old town Kaleici you will find a lot of traces of the Roman Empire. It is also a great place to see the typical Turkish everyday life, where old women prepare the dinner while the men play dominoes.

The number one golf destination in Turkey is without doubt Belek. Eight golf courses can be found in the area; and many more are on their way. It can be necessary to book several months before the holiday, if you are going in the high season.

But Belek is more than playing golf. Here is a fantastic nature and an incredible silence, which are not found in the livelier holiday destinations such as Alanya and Side. Belek is also a paradise for bird lovers. The city does of course also have fine shopping and several water parks.

Kemer is a nice, little holiday village surrounded by the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean. The city has a unique mix of the original Turkey and a modern holiday destination. Here are lively pedestrian streets, an elegant marina and beautiful beach promenades.

For some sightseeing you can visit the ruins of Phaselis; the winter location for Alexander the Great. Another great place (especially for the kids) is the 55,000 m2 Moonlight Park in the middle of Kemer. Here you find a playground, restaurants, bars, discos; and even a dolphinarium

Like many other holiday destinations Kusadasi was originally a small fisher village. Today you find great Turkey food and a quieter nightlife with only a small bar street.

There is an international feeling in the city because of the many cruise ships; most of them come to see the famous sight Efesos (also called Efesus) near Kusadasi. So if you like smart cafes and international clothing brands, Kusadasi is the city for you.

The most romantic holiday destination in Turkey might be Side. You will find a lot of old Roman buildings in the old town. It is also possible to take a walk away from the main street, where you can see well-preserved wood and stone houses. Another interesting attraction is the city theater; originally used for gladiator fights, but today you can watch concerts and theater.

Side does also have a wild nightlife. You can even combine culture with pleasure in one of the most popular bars in the city; placed among the ruins of two 2nd century temples. For sun bathing Side has two beaches; the quit east beach and the livelier (and kid friendly) west beach.

On The Verge Of Destruction, The Critically Endangered Leatherback Sea Turtle May Be The Most Amazing Animal On Earth

October 11th, 2009
by Victor C. Krumm

The magnificent leatherback turtle could be the most amazing animal on earth. Like the other remaining species of marine turtle, it left its four-footed land ancestors about 110 million years ago, developed flippers, and populated the Seven Seas—before there were Seven Seas.

The world was a very different place way back then. The Himalayas of Tibet did not exist that long ago. Indeed, the Himalayas were still 65,000,000 years away from even existing. Antarctica was joined to Australia when the earliest leatherbacks took to the sea and would not uncouple from it for about thirty million more generations of these sea animals. South America was not far from West Antarctica. Another eighty million years would pass before Antarctica would turn into the frigid continent we see. The South Atlantic Ocean was still forming. Indeed, not only were there no Seven Seas way back then, there were not seven continents, either.

They lived during the Age of Dinosaurs. Indeed, they were here millions of years before the first dinosaur evolved. They were swimming the oceans 400,000 centuries before the ferocious T Rex made its debut. Yes, you read it correctly, 400,000 centuries. This incredible species of animal outlived the dinosaurs and even survived the greatest mass extinction the world has ever suffered.

Perhaps you learned in science class that whales and dolphins were animals that once lived on land and moved to the water. But, porpoises and whales are mammals (whose closest relative is the hippo) that did not exist until millions of years after the last dinosaur died. Sea turtles had already made the transition from land to sea for fifty million years before these mighty mammalian leviathans first left land for the oceans.

Leatherbacks are the largest of all sea turtles, weighing as much as a ton, were here long before the first dinosaur, survived the greatest mass extinction the world has ever experienced, and flourished. But, that spectacular ability to adapt is not why they are so amazing.

Consider this: we all marveled, and deservedly so, at Michael Phelps’s 200 meter freestyle world swimming record. But, in the time it took him to go that distance, a huge leatherback, weighing about as much as the entire offensive line of a professional football team, would swim 1,000 meters. In fact, this magnificent relic is listed in the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest reptile on earth!

Leatherbacks may also be the world’s greatest long-distance migrating creatures. Scientists tracked one of these giants 13,000 miles—one way.

In addition to being the world’s fastest reptile and maybe the world’s greatest long-distance migrator, it is the deepest diving marine turtle on the planet, regularly diving nearly 4,000 feet underwater. To put that depth into perspective, today’s nuclear attack submarines are estimated to have a maximum normal operating depth of 1,600 feet because sea pressure at 2,400 feet would crush them. The world’s most modern technology and strongest metal and composite materials are no match for the diving ability of hundred million year old species of turtle.

There is also another amazing fact. Except where Man has destroyed them, leatherbacks swim all tropical and subtropical waters on earth. But, and this is the really amazing thing, they have been seen as far north as waters off Alaska, Canada, and Norway and as far south as Africa’s Cape of Good Hope and even New Zealand where water temperatures can be only a few degrees above freezing. Yet, even though they are like all reptiles, cold blooded, they stay warm and comfortable because they can maintain a body temperature as much as 32 degrees higher than the surrounding water.

Disastrously, in literally the last three decades, this magnificent animal has been decimated in numbers and is in danger of extinction. In 1980, Mexico had two of every three leatherbacks on earth. Within 25 years, its leatherback population had collapsed 99%, a catastrophe by any measure. In far off Malaysia, on beaches that once had the world’s largest nesting population, about 10,000 nests, there were two nestings in 2008. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity, greed, and capacity for over exploitation. The Angels are surely weeping.

This reptile was witness to the separation of the continents and birth of the modern oceans, lived through the Age of Dinosaurs, survived the mass extinction caused by a meteorite. It swims faster, farther, deeper than almost anything on the planet and has been in our world for more than a hundred million years . Can it survive you and me?

Costa Rica is home to all but one of the world’s marine turtle species and has set aside important refuges on both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. And, Costa Rica ecotourism is playing an increasingly important role in conserving sea turtles. On its Caribbean coast is Tortuguero, the world’s largest green sea turtle preserve. The Pacific coast has Ostional Refuge that has the planet’s largest arribadas—mass nestings of hundreds of thousands of olive ridley turtles. Either of these places are great for looking for leatherbacks, too.

St George Island Florida, A Hidden Treasure

October 11th, 2009
by Aryanah Kristov

Very few beaches especially in Florida remain unspoiled by big businesses nowadays. However in the case of St. George Island, a barrier island in Florida’s Panhandle coast, the beach still manages to maintain privacy and tranquillity while the natural environment stays relatively untouched.

St. George Island is unlike any other commercial beach that is neither crammed with high-rise condominiums nor engulfed in chaotic atmosphere. The simplicity and laid-back ambience and the beauty of nature never fail to charm the tourists of St. George Island.

Old Florida is still alive in this barrier island which is evident in the delectable Southern cuisine, the townsfolk passion for their history and in the old-fashioned seafood industry. Very few hotels operate here but tourists have a great number of St. George Island Rentals to choose from such as vacation homes, cottages or condos. The fact that there are no high-rises obstructing the skyline means that tourists have the opportunity to gaze at the moon and the stars, and watch each days sunrise and sunset.

The timeless towns of Franklin County mainly Apalachicola, St. George Island and Eastpoint boast of interesting histories. Since the towns are just a few minutes away from one another, it is recommended that vacationers take some time to explore different areas such as the Apalachicola Maritime Museum, John Gorrie State Museum, Cape St. George Lighthouse, Chestnut Street Cemetery and Dixie Theater. Apalachicolas National Historical District is a must stop as well. In this scenic district, 900 beautiful Victorian Homes dating back to the 1830s and an old cotton mill are part of the tour. Through the concierge facility of St. George Island rentals, walking tours can be arranged for visitors.

Another reason to visit St. George Island is the number of festive events that happen on a year-round basis. Events usually draw families and local residents to join in tournaments, races and parades, to enjoy food fests, live music, exhibits, and to meet new acquaintances. For popular events such as the Oyster Spat Festival, Seafood Festival, Annual SGI Mullet Toss and many more, it is recommended that St. George Island rentals be reserved ahead of time by beachgoers.

The immaculate white sand beaches and emerald waters are the crown jewels of St. George Island. Delight yourself in swimming and sunning with the company of friends and family. Or simply lie back, relax, revel in the panorama and listen to the waves from the privacy of your St. George Island rental.

Taking time off for an idyllic coastal vacation is purely rewarding and therapeutic. Life cant get more luxurious than this.

An Exquisite Piece Of History Stands Tall In The World Famous Arc De Triomphe Paris

October 5th, 2009
by Michael Boxer

Nothing could be more romantic than spending a holiday with your partner in the world’s most beautiful city of Love, Paris. Romantic notions linger in the heart and soul when one travels across this central city of France where the language of love fills the air. No matter the time of the year, there is no city like Paris. Be it fashion, wine, art and architecture in Paris, everything is on a grand scale. The magnificent scenic beauty and architectural splendors of its monuments have made Paris a favorite with tourists around the world.

There is plenty to see in Paris. Although the Eiffel tower is the international symbol of Paris, there are other well-known architectural masterworks such as the basilicas Notre Dame de Paris and Le Sacre Coeur. The city of Paris simply abounds with outstanding architecture, but Arc de Triomphe stands among the most prominent.

The famous Parisian monument is situated right at the top of Chaillot hill. There are a dozen avenues that start at this point and go outwards, forming a star. The Arc de Triomphe offers an impressive panoramic view of the city. From here one can see a smaller arch and the Luxor obelisk.

This magnificent monument was commissioned at the beginning 1800s by Emperor Napoleon. He wanted to immortalize the victory of his men by building a colossal monument rising up to 162 feet. This arch is decorated by various sculptures from different French sculptors. Naturally, the arch is strongly associated with political manifestations, representing the love for France and the willingness to sacrifice for it.

Taking a close look at the arch’s sculptures, you will see that many refer to the various battles won by Napoleon and his men. At the base of the four colossal pillars you have sculptures by artists Cortot, Etex and Francois Rude. They each sculpted in honor of different battles or historical events.

Such a colossal structure can only leave you mesmerized. The arch was erected to commemorate people and events. At its highest point, you will find engraved the most notorious battles conquered under Napoleon during the Revolution.

You can’t go to Paris and not visit the arch. This is too big of a piece of history to pass by. The city of Paris is paradise for history lovers and romance. At the Arc de Triomphe Paris, you are surrounded by meaningful architecture, where all is rich in history. The novel Da Vinci Code depicts many of these places, but there is nothing compared to seeing it yourself.

Aruba Vacation ” Enjoying Big Things in Small Packages

October 5th, 2009
by Rafael Wallace

Going on a Caribbean adventure is not likely to be cheap. This is why if you have to spend some good, solid cash, you should much rather settle for a location that packs a big punch. One good vacation spot to consider is Aruba. Even with limited time, you can expect a lot of fun that is worth the expense.

Before Aruba became a part of the Netherlands, Aruba was formerly a colony of Spain. Before it even became part of it though, Aruba was formerly a Spanish colony. If anything else, this rare mix of Dutch and Latin influence is well worth exploring. You will find the mixture aptly reflected in local architecture and culture. Aside from this unique cultural and historical atmosphere, there are other reasons why Aruba is a great tourist stop.

Arubas major downside is its weather and climate. The island is delightfully situated away from the storm belt so you can expect great, sunny weather for most of the year. Of course, great weather has to be qualified. While in Aruba, you can expect more than just the sun shining on you. It is also the recipient of gentle trade winds so you can reasonably expect cool days even when the sun is at its hottest.

The size of the place is one of the major reasons why you should go for Aruba. Of all the Caribbean locations, this island is one of the smallest. Instead of being a disadvantage though, its smallness is actually an advantage both for the tourists and the islands tourism industry. While other destinations necessarily limit your movements due to time constraints, Aruba offers all of itself to daring explorers. You can spend your Aruba vacation on a jeep ride exploring the islands many interesting corners.

Indeed the bold have a lot to enjoy in and around Aruba. For a true rugged experience, start your trip on the less inhabited regions of the north. A top northern destination is the California Lighthouse where you get the most breathtaking view of the islands surrounding natural splendor.

You might prefer a more complete natural experience. A great first spot to explore is the Arikok National Park on the eastern side of the island. The park makes up one fourth of the islands entire land area and is a haven for hikers and nature lovers who are at their best at the bosom of Mother Nature. The park has the best selections of diverse animal and plant life as well as amazing natural canyons and caves.

And what is Aruba without water activities? You can choose underwater and on-water adventures. Aruba is the proud location of more than forty dive sites. Many of these feature real shipwrecks that neophyte explorers can comb and swim around in. Aside from diving, another popular water pastime is windsurfing. Thanks to the constant trade winds, Aruba is a windsurfers paradise.

Aruba may be small. An Aruba vacation does however more than make up for what it lacks in land size. With the wealth of activities and escapades it has to offer, any tourist will find the visit well worth the expense.
