Vietnam is an exotic destination for high-end global travelers from long-haul destination, South Africa

Vietnam’s first luxury tour operator will exhibit at WTM Africa from 2-3 May 2014 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Hanoi, Vietnam, April 09, 2014 - Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravels.asia), a long established Asian specialist in luxury fully bespoke holidays in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand, will exhibit at WTM Africa from 2-3 May in Cape Town, South Africa (Stand L11).

WTM Africa.
The aim is to promote high-end tourism products in the leisure luxury segment and to find buyers who want to sell unique luxury travel experiences to discerning African travellers and to help company representatives acquire knowledge about the demands, preferences, and needs of the market.

WTM Africa (www.wtmafrica.com) is the leading B2B exhibition for the inbound and outbound African travel industry, and is particularly tailored to the African market.

“The direct THAI flight connecting Johannesburg with Hanoi through Bangkok, or Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines and frequent services by Gulf-based airlines (Qatar and Emirates), puts Luxury Travel's offers of authentic encounters within easy reach of South Africans,” says Pham Ha, CEO of Vietnamese luxury tour operator Luxury Travel Ltd.

“We already have good GIT and FIT traffic from South Africa to Indochina. For years we have had a very positive experience at WTM London, so it was a very easy decision for us to exhibit at WTM Africa’s inaugural event this year in Cape Town, giving us a great opportunity to connect with this growing market. We are among the first to move into South Africa.”

The Indochina peninsula (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar), has become increasingly appealing to global travelers from long-haul destination such as South Africa. Vietnam has a wide scope of activities and landscapes that appeal to a mix of travelers, from tropical beaches, post-colonial towns, a string of World Heritage Sites, stunning inland scenery, world-renowned cuisine and a home-grown flair for hospitality. Vietnam has it all.

“We see our clients from South Africa combining multi-countries in one trip and an increase in the number of group tours, private leisure FITS and special interest tailor-made tours. Most of them prefer luxury tours; they expect authentic experiences in luxury travel as well as pampering, but they also want off-the-beaten-track adventures with impeccable service,” says Pham Ha
“In Vietnam we have seen the completion of many luxurious hotels and resorts with names such as Marriott, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Six Senses and Amano’i. Vietnam in particular is increasingly being recognised as a destination for high-end global travelers.”

Its tourism infrastructure features a growing list of modern luxury and spa destinations, iconic colonial and boutique properties, recently opened golf courses, seaplane and helicopter flights from Hanoi to Halong Bay, and the launch of luxury yacht and river cruise services that provide a stress-free journey away from busy roads.

Halong Bay is about to enter the ultra-luxury market with the very first six-star boutique all-inclusive Emperor Cruises set to sail at the end of this year. Such improvements account for the recent growth in popularity of the country and prove that an enigmatic and alluring country such as Vietnam has nowhere to go but up.

“With new luxury hotels, ultra luxury cruises and world-class golf courses having recently opened or set to open soon, and the introduction of upmarket train journeys, exclusive cruises and upscale private tours spanning the length of the country, Vietnam is fast emerging as an exciting destination for high-end travelers from South Africa," Pham Ha adds.

Yagoozon CEO Justin Ligeri Attends Toy Fair 2014 in New York City

The world’s biggest toy show, Toy Fair 2014, brings buyers in search of unique games and toys to market in 2014. This year, Yagoozon’s Justin Ligeri returned once again to Toy Fair, seeking the perfect merchandise for his rapidly-growing company.

New York, NY, April 06, 2014 (via Straight Line PR) — The world’s largest toy trade show, Toy Fair 2014, attracts top vendors, merchants and entrepreneurs who network to find those unique games and toys that they will market in 2014. This year, Yagoozon’s Justin Ligeri returned once again to Toy Fair, excited by the prospect of finding the perfect merchandise for his rapidly-growing company.

2013 proved to be a banner year for top online toy seller Yagoozon. The company was acknowledged as being the top seller on Amazon in terms of volume of orders, the fastest growing online retailer, and the 10th fastest growing company in the world, according to Inc. Magazine. Led by CEO Justin Ligeri, the company blossomed in 2013 into a force to be reckoned with in the categories of Toys, Games and Costumes.

This year, as Toy Fair 2014 passes into history, Ligeri reflected back on his company’s amazing trajectory. Yagoozon ( http://www.amazon.com/b?me=A393ZKPVGVX3TX ) has recorded 16,689% growth over a three year time frame.

“I love attending Toy Fair. Several years ago, when I first started coming to this show, I was pretty much anonymous and had to pinch pennies to be able to pay my travel expenses to attend. Today, I am always flattered and amazed how companies roll out the red carpet for me and my staff at this show,” said Ligeri. “We get the opportunity to see what is in the pipeline for the upcoming year and plan our budgets accordingly.”

The 35 year old eCommerce phenom’s company, Yagoozon ( http://www.amazon.com/b?me=A393ZKPVGVX3TX ) is on track to do more than $22 million in sales this year. Starting over with only $40 in the winter of 2010, he has bankrolled that amount into a hypergrowth business which has venture capitalists, suppliers and competitors amazed at his ability to sell merchandise. In fact, over the last three years, Yagoozon has grown 16,689%.

Ligeri called his company Yagoozon because that word symbolized his online journey. He had started doing pay per click marketing and driving traffic to a website using Yahoo. Then he migrated over to Google. In the winter of 2010 he fell in love with Amazon. Ya-Goo-Zon. Very memorable.

He now plans for 2014 to be another year of expansion. “We are building our own line of children’s toys this year and are very excited about the things we have learned from our clients and supplying new goods and services in the coming months.”

This new line of children’s toys is sure to help the company grow even more rapidly in 2014.

Argan Oil - A One Ingredient Organic Beauty Product that Works Head to Toe

Beauty by Earth launches a new product – 100% Pure Certified Organic Moroccan Argan Oil

Frisco, TX, April 04, 2014 - Beauty by Earth has recently launched its first product – Certified Organic Argan Oil. Argan Oil, commonly referred to as “liquid gold” is an extremely versatile product. Our Argan Oil restores the natural freshness and adds to the softness of the skin and face. It makes the hair strong by easily penetrating into the roots and feeding them with nutritional components. Rich in vitamin E, 80% of the Argan Oil consists of natural fatty acids and omega 6, it is a natural method of combating prematurely aging skin.

Not only is our Argan Oil affordable and versatile, it is also extra virgin and of the highest quality. Our Argan Oil is organically produced in Morocco and has obtained the USDA Organic Seal, providing our customers with complete confidence in its quality.

Argan Oil is a popular choice amongst people looking for all-natural and organic skin and hair care products.

Argan Oil can do wonders on the skin. It is rich in antioxidants so it has the ability to regress the signs of aging. Its restorative and anti-aging advantages have been a major reason in the increased demand for this product.

When applied to the skin, Argan oil can eliminate wrinkles and other skin degenerations. The presence of unsaturated fatty acids and squalene make it very effective in fighting free radicals that cause skin to appear aged.

Argan Oil helps cure many unwanted skin conditions and is a great solution for all skin types. It helps freshen, soften and hydrate dry skin more than any other cosmetic product or cream. Argan oil has the ability to diminish and eliminate stretch marks, acne scars and blemishes. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is an effective treatment for acne, chicken pox, eczema and psoriasis.

Argan oil is considered particularly beneficial for use on hair. The many benefits of using Argan oil for hair include increased health, shine, and manageability of your locks. Applications of Argan oil are versatile, and accommodate a variety of lifestyles, hair types, and personal preferences. Some popular ways to use Argan oil for hair include its use in treating frizz, as a shine serum, deep conditioner and for curl definition.

Although Beauty by Earth’s Argan Oil is new to the market, it is selling out quickly and our customers are already sharing stories of improved hair and skin conditions:

“I have tried a lot of oils and moisturizers to help heal my skin after pregnancy, but nothing has worked--until now! After I had my baby, my skin felt like it had been stretched beyond repair and I thought it would always look thin and papery. I am happy to say, I was wrong! After just a few weeks of using this oil once a day, my skin is tight again and well on its way to looking better than ever! I am SO happy with this product. Other stretch mark creams I tried were full of toxins, and many of them were goopy and stinky so I always felt icky after putting them on. This oil feels amazing as you put it on, has a very light natural smell, and is absorbed quickly by your skin, so it doesn't feel sticky so you can get dressed after you put it on. Fantastic. I will for sure be ordering more” – J.S.

We urge customers to give our Argan Oil a try and find out for themselves just how great this product truly is. Click here to buy Argan Oil, available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Certified-Organic-Highest-Quality/dp/B00I134Y82/ie=UTF8?m=A17119QUPKBK8A&keywords=argan+oil

We will be creating a series of videos on different uses of our Argan Oil product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4lmrnfF50Q

Insurance King celebrates their 50,000th policy sold

Insurance King is a leader in Illinois for Low Cost auto Insurance and they are writing policies in multiple states now.

Chicago, IL, April 03, 2014 - Insurance King celebrates their 50,000th policy sold.

Dan Block says; “In 2007 I moved one of our offices and went through the files with a few new staff members. One of them asked how many policies we had sold, because we had so many files. I thought to myself I never thought to keep track. So in 2007 we started counting new applications, and on August 18th, 2013 we hit our 50,000th policy since we began counting in 2007. I wish we started counting back when we started, but we are happy with the growth we should hit the 75,000 policy benchmark by mid 2015 or sooner.” Insurance King is a leader in Illinois for Low Cost auto Insurance and they are writing policies in multiple states now. Insurance King is also servicing Chicago IL as of March 2014 with the following quote hotline numbers;

Insurance King SPANISH Chicago Hotline: (847) 454-3142

Insurance King looks to break into the Chicago market without charging the interest or fees like most Chicago Agencies. “It’s simple really. If I were to ask you if you thought the cost of doing business was higher in Chicago or Rockford IL what would you say? Of course it would cost more to run a business in Chicago so we are passing on our savings to the people in Chicago Illinois market by running an efficient office in Rockford IL.” said the founder of Insurance King Dan Block.

Academy of Scuba is Now Operation Blue Pride’s West Coast Training Facility for Disabled Veterans

See What New Partnerships Mean for Operation Blue Pride

Phoenix, AZ, March 21, 2014 - Academy of Scuba announced today it has been selected as the West Coast training site for Operation Blue Pride (OBP) scuba certification program for veterans. OBP is a nonprofit organization out of Chicago focusing on scuba dive training for veterans who are severely mentally and physically injured. Diving is part of their rehabilitation and helps them integrate back into society while providing them with a sense of adventure and accomplishment.

Once scuba certified, veterans will help with conservation projects through Operation Blue Pride. Currently OBP is working on a new partnership with Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. AWSC's vision is to increase knowledge of Atlantic white sharks and change public perception to conserve the species and ensure biologically diverse marine ecosystems.

Operation Blue Pride and Atlantic White Shark Conservancy will be raising funds to send OBP veterans on white shark research and tagging trips with four veterans joining each trip. Academy of Scuba is slated to start training veterans in May 2014, and is looking to train over 50 people in the next 12 months.

Specially trained staff at Academy of Scuba will work with the specific needs of the veterans. Staff at Academy of Scuba have been trained by the following agencies: Handicapped Scuba Association (HSA), NAUI Adaptive program, and the SDI Scubability program.

Academy of Scuba has multiple locations in Phoenix Arizona, that is easily accessible from the West Coast and their facilities allow dive training year round. Operation Blue Pride is using Scuba Emporium, out of Chicago, for the East Coast training facility.

“The two new locations give OBP the opportunity to go above and beyond its original amount of veterans to certify. Both locations bring years of experience with a true passion to help veterans and do whatever they can do to help our returning veterans without exploiting them. I am really looking forward to this year’s new partnership,” said Chris Maddeford, from Operation Blue Pride.

“What’s great about this program is that they get scuba certified which is a great first step, but it’s only the beginning because the good they can do with the conservation programs through Operation Blue Pride will benefit them and the oceans,” said John Flanders, CO at Academy of Scuba.

“OBP is eager to get our veterans enveloped in this exciting partnership to continue our mission of having returning combat veterans help save our oceans' marine life, while self healing,” said Madderford.

“I think it’s invigorating,” Flanders said. “When you have someone who has gone through a traumatic situation, and they get in the water, it’s great seeing the spark in their eyes. These veterans are amazing and they want to prove to themselves that they can overcome obstacles. The sense of pride they show sends shivers up your spine and can bring a grown man to cry.”

SAFE International Launches New Toronto Women’s Self Defense Page – Toronto, ON Self Defense

Toronto Self Defense, SAFE International Launches New Toronto Women’s Self Defense Page.

Toronto, ON, March 18, 2014 - (Straight Line PR) - Toronto Self Defense, SAFE International Launches New Toronto Women’s Self Defense Page.

SAFE International™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 180,000 women in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is thrilled to announce its new women’s self defense page on their website. These are available in Toronto, ON.

SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, Managing Director of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears. Men have no idea what women go through on an everyday basis from the stares and comments to the physical gestures and advances.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching self defense for women, is how receptive women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows women to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one's daily routines. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. We then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible.  Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Toronto women’s self defense. We begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance.  We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. We teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. This is only 30 minutes into the physical training and you can see how the self defense concepts are very effective. The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence. This is very important as you don't want to terrify your clients

Forget Tupperware Parties!

Invite 6 to 8 of your friends for a few hours of fun, education and potentially life- saving instruction. Plan a meal, bbq, snacks, maybe some dessert! Be prepared for a unique Women’s Self Defense Toronto experience! What has made SAFE International so popular is their unique method of teaching with humour and sharing of anecdotes. Get to experience their simulated attacks in scenario specific situations such as at the front door, the kitchen, the car, etc.

SAFE International has taught more than 180,000 women. To contact SAFE International and Chris Roberts to schedule your Women’s Self Defense party, you can visit their main site at www.safeinternational.biz
