“Most companies realize they need to travel in order to stay competitive and grow their business,” said Tom Ciccone, Director of Corporate Sales for Fare Buzz. “The paradigm becomes how efficient can we execute the travel program within our company. In other words how can we fly smarter?”

According to a recent study from the U.S. Travel Association, companies have spent roughly $246 Billion each year over the past few years. Taking the time to travel and meet with customers, or potential customers, face-to-face has been shown to increase the return on investment of travel expenses. The study also found that excluding business travel can cause a company to lose up to 17 percent of potential profits.

“We actually see an increase of business travel from our smaller companies in economic down turns,” said Ciccone. “This stems from a need to offer a more competitive edge in the face to face interaction with new or existing clients to help them compete with their larger rivals.”

Fare Buzz aims to make corporate travel effective for the company, but convenient for the person actually doing the traveling. They work with corporations of all sizes to stay in compliance and make sure each client is getting the best value for their business travel needs. Fare Buzz helps develop travel programs for companies that do not have a traditionally managed travel program in place. In addition, their Account Managers assist companies to maximize the benefits of managed travel program currently in place within their organizations.

About Fare Buzz:
Started in 1994 in New York City, Fare Buzz is one of the leading travel providers in the industry. The company has created affiliations with vendors of various travel products. Due to Fare Buzz’s buying power, the company is able to negotiate aggressive deals on air, hotels, car rentals and now vacation rentals to pass the savings on to the consumer.

Villa Estrella-Costa Rica is a luxurious, five-star, all-inclusive vacation villa located in the exclusive beach side community of Playa Ocotal. This gorgeous villa is situated on a private hilltop overlooking the beaches of Playa Ocotal with breathtaking views of one of the world’s most beautiful bodies of water, the Gulf of Papagayo.

Villa Estrella-Costa Rica aptly deserves its name because, in Spanish, “estrella” means “star” and at Villa Estrella-Costa Rica, its guests truly enjoy a “Five Star” all-inclusive vacation experience. The outstanding guest testimonials on Trip Advisor’s website and Villa Estrella’s website attest to Villa Estrella’s excellence.

“Our week at Villa Estrella-Costa Rica was spectacular,” says Julie and Scott Jones of Fort Worth, Texas. “The Villa is luxurious; the views are unbelievable, and the staff catered to our group’s every whim and need, from food, to drinks, to transportation, to all our activities. We had never vacationed at an all-inclusive villa before – we felt like royalty. Throughout our week, we sailed, snorkeled, paddle-boarded, zip-lined, and hiked a volcano. Between all those activities, we just lazed in various spots around the Villa, floated in the infinity pool, and enjoyed some very soothing massages. The week we spent there could not have been more enjoyable for our group. We’re going back!”

Villa Estrella-Costa Rica is a perfect all-inclusive vacation villa for families and group sizes ranging from 8 to 20 people. The Villa is conveniently located just 25 miles from the newly expanded Liberia International Airport (LIR). The Villa is well situated for guests to enjoy swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, paddle-boarding, and sailing in the warm waters of the Gulf of Papagayo.

Centrally located in the Guanacaste region, guests can easily venture out each day in different directions to experience the various pleasures of jungle zip lining, mud baths, horseback riding, white water river rafting, pristine surfing beaches, and nearby local villages. The village of Coco is just five minutes away and it boasts a variety of restaurants and local shops. After sunset, Coco’s nightlife comes alive with vibrant bars, discos, and even a casino. Guest activities and adventures are facilitated by Villa Estrella staff for maximum convenience.

The mission of Villa Estrella-Costa Rica is to provide its guests with a Costa Rican vacation experience they will thoroughly enjoy and never forget. This is accomplished through a staff that is extraordinarily focused on anticipating and responding to every need, from the initial moments of planning the trip to the final good-bye at the end of the trip.

“Fare Buzz understands the importance of car rentals for both business and leisure travelers,” said Arnold Walter, President and CEO of Fare Buzz. “Our pre-paid net rates now allow customers to spend more time on the road and less time at the counter. It just makes more sense for today’s busy traveler.”

According to a recent study by Auto Rental News, the U.S. car rental industry showed an increase of 8.1 percent in 2011 and total revenue of $22.4 billion. The total revenue seen in 2011 is the most the industry has gained within the past 10 years, and shows a positive trend within the car rental industry.

“We’ve seen a substantial growth over the years in car rentals, and feel it’s an important part of our customers travel needs,” said Walter. “With that in mind, our pre-paid rates on car rentals will continue to grow this area of travel and will continue to save our customers money.”

Fare Buzz has an easy to use booking engine for their customers to book a car rental for pick up at several airports and cities around the world. Rates currently start as low as $25 per day and can be found in cities like New York, London, Zurich and Mumbai. The type of car rentals available varies from Compact to SUV and Mini Vans to premium, luxury rentals.

“We at Fare Buzz are willfully increasing our non-air business,” said Arnold Walter, President and CEO of Fare Buzz. “There’s no doubt the sale of discounted tickets is our forte, but we are enthusiastic towards the sale of car rentals, hotel bookings, vacation packages and now vacation rentals.”

A recent survey from eMarketer predicts “there will be 117.6 million online travel researchers (61 percent of internet users) and 98.3 million online travel bookers (51 percent of internet users) in the U.S. by 2012.” Millions of Americans spend close to 60 percent of their total vacation cost on accommodations. Fare Buzz now aims to bring alternative options to these travelers, with something that’s both cost effective and brings all the comforts of home.

“Vacation rental bookings have seen a phenomenal growth of 73 percent in 2011 compared to 2010, and the revenues have also increased by 11 percent,” said Walter. “Keeping those metrics in mind, Fare Buzz started its vacation rental section, as there is a lot of pie to target.”

The new vacation rental feature offers roughly 30 locations to rent from within North America. Unlike other vacation rental websites, Fare Buzz allows the customer to book directly through the website. This new option will give Fare Buzz customers the opportunity to try something new, and for the company to receive feedback regarding travel preferences. Vacation rentals can be found at www.farebuzz.com/vacation-rentals .

On January 16, twelve travelers are going to Vietnam and Cambodia for an Eco Volunteer trip. Days will be spent both seeing the sites, and donating supplies, teaching English, and staying and eating at facilities that are helping the many people in need. The final two days culminate in a village stay where guests put the finishing touches on a bridge that the group sponsored. This footbridge will allow children to get the education and nourishment from a local nonprofit school that has been inaccessible during monsoon season.

In addition to this project, Destination Earth will be providing a variety of local and international adventure tours into 2012 and beyond. This includes adventures into South America, and shorter Northern California adventure tours as well.

Company president Jud Yaski says, “It’s about time that there is an opportunity for individuals to both take an exciting trip and help the planet at the same time.”

As well as group tours, Destination Earth will be offering these adventures as both Team Building exercises for companies, and as corporate incentive travel, allowing companies to both provide a benefit to their staff and contribute to their social responsibility goals.

The company’s model is to offer intimate adventures with no more than 15 people per trip, allowing the groups to maneuver easily through the varied locals that their trips take them. All trips are designed to not only highlight the “must sees” of an area, but also take guests off the beaten path, to unique environments they would never encounter on their own.

About Destination Earth, Inc.:
The company is the brainchild of Veteran Event producer and world traveler, Jud Yaski. He has partnered with successful adventure travel founder Steve Juba, combining their combined quarter of a century in hospitality to create the ultimate travel experience: Destination Earth.

Lynn Thompson, an RN out of Fort Lauderdale found that “renting a motorhome is a cost effective, more comfortable and less stressful alternative to traveling by plane.” Travelers also appear to be getting very frustrated with the invasive searches, missed connections and outrageous fees when flying. “The last time I flew,” said Thompson, “I had to pay $20 extra per seat so my family could sit together, then they lost my luggage for which I had to pay extra as well, and my 86 year old grandmother was singled out and publicly humiliated when an overzealous security agent became suspicious of her colostomy bag. Another time, our flight was delayed and we just sat on the tarmac for hours.” Thompson also noted that she was able to save almost $2,000 by preparing their own meals in her RV, eliminating the expensive hotels and restaurants.

Industry insiders believe that the increased demand in RV travel can be attributed to an educated consumer base that is tiring of the rampant nickel and diming and stress associated with air travel. According to farecompare.com CEO Rick Seaney, “The average fare for holiday flights is up as much as 20 percent over last year.” People are beginning to realize that there are other choices and they want to maximize their travel experience.

Allstar Coaches operates their fleet of luxury motorhome rentals from strategically located depots in nine states. With full kitchens, luxurious cabins and modern technology, these vehicles are equipped to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning traveler.

“Folks are starting to figure out what many motorhome enthusiasts have known for years; that the benefits of motorhome travel far outweigh the costs,” says Von Isanogle, Fleet Operations manager at Allstar, “and that is contributing to increased sales. Record breaking airfares and those crazy fees are only helping to take them off the skyways and put them onto the highways.”

For further information about RV and motorhome rentals in Florida contact Allstar Coaches at (866) 838-4465. More information online: www.allstarcoaches.com .

Allstar operates a fleet of luxury motorhomes which are available for rental nationwide at strategically located depots in seven states. Earlier this year, the company opened two additional Florida locations and by the end of next year expects to open as many as twelve franchised locations across the country. “Since Florida RV rentals account for almost 40% of our overall sales, it was only natural to expand our operations there first,” added Tischler.

Industry insiders believe that the increased demand in RV travel is being driven by a rebounding economy combined with an educated consumer base that’s growing tired of the runaway costs, uncomfortable security screening and long delays associated with flying.

Adam Froman, a self-employed RVer who runs his graphics business from home, says that “Traveling in an RV equipped with satellite technology allows me the freedom to run my business while out on the road.” When asked whether fuel prices would affect his travel plans, Froman said “I’ll spend less traveling in the RV and preparing my own meals than I would by paying airfare, hotel and meals on a traditional trip and since I don’t have to deal with crowded airports; my vacation starts the minute I pull out of the driveway.”

Television networks and film crews have also taken notice of the RV industry, cashing in on its growing popularity. HGTV’s annual RV show is among the most watched specials on the network. Allstar Coaches was featured on ABC’s “The Bachelor” when Jake Pavelka and nine hopeful bachelorettes embarked on a RV trip up the California coast.

“People are beginning to understand that the benefits of RV travel far outweigh the costs and that’s helping to drive record sales,” says Tischler, “the price of oil isn’t slowing us down at all.”

Allstar Coaches has an RV rental for virtually any taste or budget and offers Florida RV rentals from locations in the Sunshine State, with additional locations in California, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada. For detailed pricing and information, call 866-838-4465 or visit Allstar Coaches online at www.allstarcoaches.com .

The dry and temperate high-altitude climate permits year-round fishing, four wheeling, golfing, hiking and biking through a spectacular landscape of canyons, mesas, and unusual hoodoos formations.

Dusenbery adds: “Farmington is known as a sporting playground. In recent years, we have begun to host sizeable outdoor events like The Four Corners Xterra Triathlon coming up in June.”

* Animas and Berg Parks bordering the Animas River in Farmington have riverside and woodland trails for walkers, bicyclists, equestrians and bird watchers. In this area, the Animas is slow moving, a good place for canoeing and rafting.
