Vietnam-based Luxury Travel will join the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) in October to promote luxury travel products
Hanoi, Vietnam, October 31, 2012 - Vietnam-based Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) will join the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) in October to promote luxury travel products at World Travel Market London 2012 (WTM) in the UK from November 5 to 8. STAND AS480
According to Pham Ha, founder of Luxury Travel, the UK has been a great market for the company, which has appealing products for Britons’ tastes and preferences. “We target the right clients with personalized products and services.” said Ha.
He also noted that the company had increased the number of private small groups that it served, primarily with tailor-made holidays. “British holidaymakers like custom and private tours, not big groups. The boom in demand suggests that holidaymakers are becoming increasingly canny and watching exchange rates as well as seeking out keenly-priced packages before deciding on their destination.” he said.
Britain’s tourists, according to Ha, picked Vietnam for their vacations for safety, affordable prices, authenticity, warm weather, and convenient direct flights.

McKissock Offers Continuing Education for Home Inspectors
Warren, PA, October 30, 2012 - McKissock, a leader in continuing education for real estate-related professionals, has outlined five ways to keep home inspectors on the job. Rookies and veterans alike have the same things to consider as the industry changes; this list is applicable for anyone who needs to keep their income flowing. McKissock is a trusted resource for state-specific, state-approved home inspection courses, regulation information and compliance.
The following tips are important home inspector requirements:
1. Don’t Compromise Safety. Although obvious, there are safety precautions that every home inspector should never ignore. It may be as simple as ensuring that you have the correct safety clothing and equipment, but this is the foundation of the home inspection profession.
2. Make sure your license and insurances are up to date. It’s absolutely critical to have a current license and insurance. Even if your state does not require licensing, insurance should be a “must have.” Know your renewal date and schedule continuing education classes early enough so you are not in fear of a license lapse.
3. Know Local Laws and Legislation. Each state and local jurisdiction has their own laws that pertain to the home inspection industry and they do tend to change. Make it your responsibility to understand local laws and ensure you are not putting your license and career in jeopardy.
4. Practice Practical and Successful Reporting. How home inspectors take notes, document findings and present results to clients is of paramount importance. There are always ways to improve these reports and increase the potential for repeat business. In addition, all records need to be maintained as required by state regulations.
5. Stay on Top of New Trends. Whether it is the increase in green building practices, the usage of dangerous construction practices or materials, or any other new construction trends, it’s a home inspector’s duty to know about the latest-and-greatest materials and techniques.
“Home inspectors are busy professionals who provide an important service,” says Annie Creek, New Market and Compliance Specialist at McKissock. “We are committed to helping home inspectors deliver up-to-date knowledge to their customers and have the confidence that they are complying with their state or association’s regulations.”
Some areas that McKissock’s Home Inspection courses cover include:
* Attic Ventilation
* Codes of Ethics and Standards of Practice
* Construction Details and Trends
* Electrical Systems
* Exterior: Walls, Windows, Roof and Foundation
* FHA 203K Inspections
* Foundation and Footing
* Home Energy Inspection
* Home Inspection Safety
* HVAC Ductwork
* Plumbing Cross Connections
* Pools and Spas
* Pre-Drywall and Drywall
* Radon Detection and Mitigation
* Reactive Chinese Drywall
* Reporting
* Residential Cooling Systems and Heating Pumps
From the McKissock website, home inspectors have access to all they need to fulfill state requirements, including governing agency information, and can begin taking required coursework immediately. McKissock offers customizable packages, individual courses and affordable webinars. For more information visit, http://www.mckissock.com.

Regardless of Party Affiliation, Elections Affect the Future of Cleantech
Denver, Colorado, October 29, 2012 - Ecotech Institute, the first and only college focused entirely on preparing America’s workforce for careers in clean energy, has put together five things to consider this political season. Regardless of your political affiliation or views on the environment and energy, being informed is the key.
“We strongly encourage our students to educate themselves in every way possible about how policy affects cleantech industries,” says Michael Seifert, president of Ecotech Institute. “Regardless of political affiliation, one thing remains consistent – every vote has implications; everyone must educate themselves about who and what to support.”
Ecotech Institute recommends the following five things to consider over the next few weeks:
1. Read sources that outline candidate’s stance on cleantech issues. While different media take different views on politicians’ positions, take the time to listen or read each candidate’s beliefs and plans. Go to the candidate’s website and seek out third-party sources, such as Science Debate, which weighs science-related responses.
2. Fact-check everything a candidate says. While it may be difficult to find politically neutral sources, fact-checking websites do exist.
3. Practice “big picture” thinking. When politicians discuss their beliefs, policies and practices, apply your knowledge of history, science, philosophy, anthropology and more to understand the implications of what they are saying. In addition, what are they saying they will do that will truly impact our planet? Here is a related blog post aptly named, “What is Crucial?”
4. Don’t ignore the connection between a “green state of mind” and politics. Policy affects innovation, job creation, funding sources and more – many of which fuel the cleantech sector. Understand the connection so you can better deduce the implications of each vote. Here is an Ecotech blog post on the politics of the environment.
5. Take a look at pending legislation and read about its impact. While there are a variety of state and national bills to watch, many organizations like the Colorado Cleantech Industry Association outline public policy issues to watch.
“The future of the cleantech industries relies on politicians, businesses and voters to come together and align on what will make a positive difference for our communities and planet,” said Kyle Crider, Ecotech Institute’s director of sustainability. “Education is important in every election and that time is now.”
About Ecotech Institute
Ecotech Institute is the first and only college entirely focused on preparing America’s workforce for careers in renewable energy and sustainability and is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges. Launched in April 2010 in Denver, Colorado, it offers six highly practical renewable energy degree programs that provide graduates with skills valued by today’s alternative renewable energy employers. Classes start once per quarter and applications are always accepted. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify. Ecotech Institute is a division of Education Corporation of America.

Whisky investment can deliver serious returns on investment, claims AAA.
Boston, MA, October 29, 2012 - Whisky investment can deliver serious returns on investment, claims Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).
The alternative investment advocacy group is speaking out in favour of investing in high quality whisky after a report by bloggers at Barron’s came to the same conclusion. The bloggers spoke to representatives from whisky investment consultancy firms like Whisky Highland, who claim that some whiskies have outperformed asset classes like gold and diamonds in recent months and years.
AAA recommends focusing on limited editions from sought after distilleries and big names in the Scotch whisky world. An example of the returns possible from a relatively low initial outlay is the value increase on something like the Macallan Royal Marriage whisky. They were sold in April 2011 for £150 each and are already worth four times that amount.
“It’s not difficult to see the attraction of investing in whisky, largely due to the fact that you can have fun with it and learn how to make money from the asset class without breaking the bank, explained AAA’s Anthony Johnson. “We think whisky is a good place to start for people that want to turn towards alternative investments to diversify their portfolios,” he added.
A growing number of investors, from individuals to institutions, are turning towards alternatives in order to seek out something tangible in exchange for their money. Following the economic crisis, investors are far more wary of stocks and bonds as they have been known to loose value overnight. Alternative asset classes like fine wines and whiskies, art, precious metals, timberland and antiques are not as risky, but have, traditionally offered less scope for significant returns. “This is all changing, “ exclaimed Mr Johnson. “There are alternative asset classes, like whisky and timber investment via firms like Greenwood Management, that are delivering returns that far exceed average stocks and shares returns.”

Webinars are a powerful tool for visual storytelling and training. But what's the best way to generate sales using webinars? The new book, "The Webinar Way" guides presenters through the process of engaging audiences and seamlessly driving the selling process using webinars.
Cleveland, OH, October 27, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- Webinars are a powerful tool for visual storytelling and training. But for many, the path from webinar to profit is not clearly marked. Now, authors Jim Kukral and Sherrie Rose show the way, step by step, with their new book, "The Webinar Way". Readers of this new book can quickly learn essential techniques to boost profits using the familiar, but often under-utilized, webinar platform.
"It's time we separate fact from fiction, and myths from truth about webinars," says Jim Kukral, leading Web entrepreneur, noted Keynote speaker and co-author of "The Webinar Way" ( http://www.TheWebinarWay.com ). "The real story here is that webinars have had a bad rap as a boring obligation forced by corporations; but now cutting-edge business entrepreneurs have found big paydays using webinars."
As proof, Ms. Rose suggests that marketers of information products, speakers, and aspiring entrepreneurs consider these three areas when deciding how to boost their sales:
1. Has there been a decline in sales letter conversions? The webinar sales model combines teaching people valuable content and on the same webinar they are being taught they are sold on receiving coaching or additional products.
2. Even sought-after platform speakers can get tired of all the travel, and endless nights in hotels. Take this existing expertise to the webinar medium, leveraging time and accessing a global market to sell products or services.
3. Getting a big idea off the ground can be a struggle. Put together a free training webinar and the date-related motivation to get it done. The response to the actual webinar will indicate whether or not the idea is sound.
"I thought we already had a fine webinar presentation," says recent client Brandon Barnum. "Your techniques are amazing, and illuminated powerful improvements for more sales conversions on our webinar."
Renowned webinar trainers Jeff Herring and Maritza Parra recently spoke briefly on camera about "The Webinar Way", and what this book can teach anyone who needs to improve their bottom line using webinars. The video can be seen online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQZSVerj7HA
"Our book, 'The Webinar Way', breaks down the 7 Pillars of Webinar Success (Perspective, Plan, Promote, Present, Power Position, Pitch, Partner) into an easy to follow process," says Rose. "Our clients love the results they get with these strategies - implementing webinars with a selling component gives entrepreneurs a new lease on their business."
The authors also provide a free Webinar Way Profit Calculator to help track and calculate sales. For a free copy of The Webinar Way Profit Calculator and other valuable bonuses (plus expert interviews), go to http://www.TheWebinarWay.com/webinarwaybonuses/ for immediate access.
About The Webinar Way:
"The Webinar Way" is the #1 Way to reach global audiences and the #1 most effective sales tool on the Internet today. The new book, "The Webinar Way", is designed to help entrepreneurs, business owners and organizations reach their goals by understanding how to use the POWER of The Webinar Way, resulting in loyal customers, raving fans, and a dynamic, attractive personal "brand".

FRA has spoken out to support Greenpeace Southeast Asia in calling for more commitments from Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) over its use of rainforest-sourced timber in its products.
Bainbridge Island, WA, October 25, 2012 - Forestry Research Analysis (FRA) has spoken out to support Greenpeace Southeast Asia in calling for more commitments from Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) over its use of rainforest-sourced timber in its products.
The statement from Greenpeace’s Bustar Maitar called for APP to make a firm commitment not to use rainforest timber. This follows reports that APP had teamed up with Swiss NGO, The Forest Trust, to try to improve the sustainability of its supply chain.
His statement said, "APP must immediately stop accepting timber from natural forest clearance and confirm that no expansion will take place unless that expansion and the rest of APP's production is wholly reliant on plantation fiber."
FRA, a research and analysis consultancy specializing in sustainable forestry investment issues, agreed adding: "We support Greenpeace's calls for more commitment from APP over its sourcing policies – until we see some concrete evidence that the firm has stopped using timber sourced from rainforests, many onlookers will be taking their plans with a pinch of salt."
Mr Maitar goes on to claim that the association with the Forest Trust is a "PR campaign", while FRA's analysis partner, Peter Collins, added that the issue was particularly concerning as a result of the firm's recent link with a new mill in Sumatra. This mill is expected to have the capacity to process two million tons of timber each year. "Indonesia's rainforest are extremely vulnerable and are still very much at threat from logging," added Mr Collins.
FRA is an advocate of sustainable forestry investment and promotes projects like those run by firms such as Greenwood Management in Brazil and elsewhere. "Investing in plantations projects that are managed on a cyclical model can help to reduce the pressure to use rainforest timber, by providing an alternative that is much less harmful to the environment," added Mr Collins.

Online megastore Writers SuperCenter, the one-stop resource for creative writers, forms strategic partnership with ThoughtOffice Creative & Comedy Writing Software. Selected ThoughtOffice titles will now be offered in bundles or a la carte at Writers SuperCenter's web site.
Norfolk, VA, October 24, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- ThoughtOffice Corporation, the makers of the eponymous creativity and brainstorming software, ThoughtOffice, has announced a partnership with Writers SuperCenter. The joint venture was developed to provide creative writing software to customers of Writers SuperCenter, and to help provide additional input and direction to ThoughtOffice's next generation offering. This new partnership adds to the already impressive lineup of software for writers offered by Writers SuperCenter.
"We're very happy to announce this new partnership with Writers SuperCenter," said David Lockman, product specialist for ThoughtOffice Corporation. "These guys have been providing writing software to creative professionals since just about the beginning of time, and when they approached us to add ThoughtOffice to their catalog, we were delighted. They're an impressive bunch of folks to be working with."
ThoughtOffice, the successor program to the legendary IdeaFisher brainstorming software ( http://www.ideafisher.com ), was originally developed to assist communications professionals, by allowing them to expand their thought processes both laterally and in depth. Similarly, Writers SuperCenter was founded specifically to support writers world-wide with the best software available, from a host of vendors.
Irwin Berent of Writers SuperCenter originally contacted ThoughtOffice with the idea of carrying ThoughtOffice's creative writing software on his site ( http://www.writersupercenter.com/muse ). The software company eagerly jumped at the chance to work with such a well-regarded online retailer as Writers SuperCenter. It's turned out to be a great match. Writers SuperCenter is known to writers the world around, and ThoughtOffice software is increasingly becoming the "secret weapon" of choice for writers who really want to expand their creativity.
"I'm excited to finally be working with the folks at ThoughtOffice," says Berent, CEO and owner of Writers SuperCenter. "They have a well-made product, they've been very easy to work with, and are very responsive to my customers. We're looking forward to the coming year, and are expecting this collaboration to be very good for both companies, and for our customers!"
Writers SuperCenter now offers several ThoughtOffice products designed to specifically meet the needs of writers and professional communicators. Novelists will find ThoughtOffice Muse, the creative writing package that's also geared towards corporate executives and speakers, and ThoughtOffice PR Pro ( http://www.writersupercenter.com/prpro/ ), which is designed for public relations professionals in any industry. Customers can order the software for immediate download (or via snail mail on CD) through Writers SuperCenter, with the assurance that comes with ordering from an established online retailer, coupled with the excellent customer support offered by ThoughtOffice Corporation. The software includes online training videos, support and training documents, and a one-year upgrade/sidegrade guarantee. Writers SuperCenter is also bundling ThoughtOffice creativity software in special Combination Deals, which can be found online at http://www.writersupercenter.com/order.htm
"Irwin's phenomenal to work with," ThoughtOffice CEO Mark Alan Effinger noted. "He's an early adopter - a believer - in the power of software to partner with 'wetware': the writer's brain. He's brought us truly talented customers. And he's given us interesting product ideas that we're planning to explore." Effinger added cryptically, "More on that later!"
