The First Luxury Halal Tour and Holiday Operator in Indochina Taps Southeast Asia Halal Holiday Market

Luxury Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) Seeks Growth From Niche Markets and Targets Intra-ASEAN and Muslim Holiday Markets.

Hanoi, Vietnam, November 23, 2012 — Luxury Travel is positioning itself as the first luxury halal tour and holiday operator in Indochina.

Asia’s economy is still healthy and intra-ASEAN travel is growing significantly. Arrivals from Malaysia and Indonesia to Vietnam have rebounded significantly in the past nine months thanks to more direct flights, and Luxury Travel Ltd. is reaching out to court Muslim tourists from these markets.

Luxury Travel Ltd. has a high end halal holiday concept and has just launched vietnamhalalholidays.com. This is a unique online brand, offering truly great holiday experiences with an Islamic ethos. The company’s aim is to provide a holiday experience that is in harmony with Islam. The featured hotels and resorts do not serve alcohol in rooms upon request, and have segregated swimming pools, leisure areas and spa facilities for men and women. Further, on some chartered cruises on Halong Bay, all food on board is sea food or halal food.

“The Muslim population within Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia shows immense potential. Demand from this segment is picking up and is expected to increase, thanks to direct flights between Southeast Asian countries, including the newest flight to HCM City from Jakarta four times per week. Also, no visa is needed for most citizens traveling between ASEAN countries.” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

“In order to capitalize on these potential markets, we have launched a website, created special tours for Muslim travelers, worked with reputable halal food restaurants, searched out mosque locations and trained our staff in order to better serve Muslim travelers. We attend various travel trade shows in individual markets such as TTC Indonesia and Selangor Matta Islamic Travel Fair in Malaysia. We also plan to target India, Turkey, and the Middle East in the long run. And with nearly 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, the potential market is huge. We expect to receive 600-800 muslim travelers in 2013” added Ha.

According to Luxury Travel, about 23% of the world population is Muslim. Of these, around 62% live in Asia – Pacific, 20% in the Middle East- North Africa, 15% in Sub Saharan Africa, around 3% in Europe and 0.3% in the Americas.

The company has launched a new website http://www.vietnamhalalholidays.com and will launch a Vietnam guidebook for discerning travelers and focus on Muslim visitors. Plans are also in place to open a representative office in Jakarta, to act as a point of contact and information for Indonesian travel consultants and consumers. Luxury Travel is positioning itself as the first luxury halal tour and holiday operator in Indochina.

According to VNAT, during the first nine months of 2012, the number of visitors from Malaysia to Vietnam was 210,805, an increase of 125.4 per cent from the previous period.

Ha stressed that the number of tourist arrivals increased thanks to direct flights to Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh City from Kuala Lumpur. The company enjoyed 30% percent growth in Central Vietnam, where Luxury Travel opened a new office a few month ago. The company will attend Selangor Matta Islamic Travel Fair in Malaysia from 7-9 Dec 2012.

Vietnam-based Luxury Travel Ltd (http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) is a long established Asian specialist in the art of travel and serves today’s most sophisticated travelers with luxury privately guided and fully bespoke holidays in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand. Luxury Travel excels in designing tailor-made tours and providing unique travel experiences to fulfill the most sophisticated traveler’s expectations.

Impact Investing attracting more Fans, claims AAA

Leading fixed income impact investment management firm, Community Capital Management (CCM), has announced that it has invested $4 million on behalf of GIVE (AdvisorShares Global Echo ETF), in a move welcomed by AAA.

Boston, MA, USA, November 23, 2012 — Leading fixed income impact investment management firm, Community Capital Management (CCM), has announced that it has invested $4 million on behalf of GIVE (AdvisorShares Global Echo ETF), in a move welcomed by Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

AAA, an alternative investment advocacy group, claims that the investment from GIVE further helps to promote the benefits of impact investing to all kinds of investors who want to see returns while helping vulnerable communities. GIVE was established in May and intends to deliver long-term returns through responsible, sustainable investments.

Various projects have benefited from the investment so far. “It’s great to be able to learn about where this cash is going – the more people know about the benefits of impact investing, the more popular it will become,” stated Anthony Johnson, AAA’s analysis partner.

One of the investments made by CCM on GIFT’s behalf took the form of funding for a 400,000 square foot retail/residential development in Maryland. The project will focus on attracting cyclists and pedestrians and will create 235 new apartments, as well as 60,000 square feet of retail space.

Another project funded by GIFT is the Hidden Creek Apartment in Crescent City, California, which will create low income housing. The homes will incorporate eco-friendly and energy efficient features.

CCM’s senior portfolio manager, Barbara VanScoy, said that they too were very happy that more people are growing interested in impact investing. She said, “We are thrilled that the field of impact investing is expanding with new products like GIVE and that we can be a part of it.”

AAA supports a range of ethical, sustainable and environmentally responsible asset classes. Mr Johnson explained, “We have noticed that, in the wake of the financial crisis, more and more investors are keen to put their cash into philanthropic projects or at least ensure their investments won’t be having a negative impact on anyone.”

AAA supports sustainable forestry projects like those run by Greenwood Management and others in Brazil.

About Alternative Asset Analysis:
The remit of Alternative Asset Analysis is to analyse and provide news on the global performance of a wide range of alternative asset classes including, but not restricted to, commodities, real estate, forestry, foreign exchange, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.

AAA welcomes Allianz move towards Alternative Investments

The news that Europe’s largest insurer is increasing its investment in alternatives has been welcomed by AAA.

Boston, MA, November 23, 2012 – The news that Europe’s largest insurer is increasing its investment in alternatives has been welcomed by Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

Allianz claims that its traditional investments are delivering very low yields at the moment, and it is hoping that doubling its exposure to alternatives will help to offset the effects of this.

Currently, Allianz’s investment portfolio totals some $400.8 billion, which, according to AAA, are invested almost entirely in fixed income securities, which have suffered as a result of the financial crisis, with yields falling significantly. “This has happened to a large number of traditional asset classes since the economic crisis,” explained Anthony Johnson, AAA’s analysis partner.

He added, “It’s no longer just individuals that are looking to invest more in alternatives, but institutional investors are also increasing their exposure to alternatives to try to reduce the risk in their portfolios.”

Maximilian Zimmerer, a board member at Allianz spoke to the Financial Times about the issue. He said that Allianz will continue to invest in private equity but will also aim to increase its exposure to infrastructure and real estate property loans, for example.

The move from investing in real estate directly, to investing in property loans is the result of some predictions from Allianz that this area will see the most growth in the coming years. An article on the investment strategy from Invezz.com, explained, ‘A lengthy period of low returns has affected insurers’ ability to generate profits on their conventional investment portfolios while meeting promises to owners of products such as life assurance policies, which often guarantee fixed returns.’

AAA is an alternatives investment advocacy group that supports ethical and non-traditional asset classes, such as forestry and impact investing. “Investing in sustainable plantations though firms like Greenwood Management can produce better returns that most traditional investment,” claimed Mr Johnson.

Lesen Sie Tipps und wie man Online-Casinospiele bei online-casino-spiele.ch spielt

Das Spiel in einem Online-Casino auszusuchen, das Sie spielen wollen, kann fast genauso viel Spaß machen wie das Spiel selbst. Wenn Sie ein Online-Casino betreten, „starren“ Sie alle Spiele and und manchmal gibt es über 300 davon!Sie müssen bedenken, dass nicht all diese Spiele für jeden geeignet sind. Ein neuerer Spieler bevorzugt vielleicht die auf Glück basierten Spiele wieOnlineSlots und Online-Videopoker, während ein erfahrener Spieler vielleicht Spiele wie Blackjack und Poker bevorzugt, bei denen Fähigkeiten gefragt sind.

Viele Online-Casinospiele basieren auf Glück. Das bedeutet, dass Sie keinen Einfluss auf die Ergebnisse haben. Viele Spieler lassen sich von den glücksbasierten Spielen in die Online-Casinos locken, da diese eine enorme Auswahl an tollen Casino spiele haben. Der Grund dafür ist, dass Sie einfach nichts am Ergebnis des Spiels machen können. Sie lehnen sich einfach zurück und genießen die Fahrt und Sie können sich auch nicht selbst die Schuld geben, wenn Sie nicht gewonnen haben.

Spielen bei denen Fähigkeiten benötigt werden, funktionieren anders als reine Glücksspiele. Diese Spiele setzen voraus, dass Sie eine richtige Strategie verwenden, um erfolgreich zu sein. Ein berühmtes Beispiel dafür ist Poker. Um Poker zu spielen, müssen Sie die Unterschiede der verschiedenen Blätter verstehen und wie Sie Ihre Auswahl maximieren können, um das beste Blatt zu bekommen und zu gewinnen. Blackjack ist ein weiteres Beispiel eines Spiels bei dem man das Ergebnis beeinflussen kann, indem man Fähigkeiten einsetzt.

Egal, ob Sie sich für Geschicklichkeitsspiele entscheiden oder für Spiele bei denen Sie nur Glück benötigen, Sie müssen mutig sein. Wenn Sie das gleiche Spiel über mehrere Wochen gespielt haben, sollten Sie etwas Neues ausprobieren. Haben Sie keine Angst zu verlieren (natürlich nur das, was Sie sich leisten können), wenn Sie sich in einem Online-Casino an die Geschicklichkeitsspiele wagen. Es kann sehr unterhaltsam sein, langsam eine bessere Strategie in einem Kartenspiel zu entwickeln oder eine spezielle Technik zu lernen, die es einfacher macht zu gewinnen. Der Spaßfaktor ist viel wichtiger als die Höhe Ihres Gewinnes.

The Reno appliance repair experts at Lake Appliance Repair know how important one’s appliances are, so they offer the following tips help them last longer and run more efficiently.

These tips are not all-inclusive, but offer some advice to keep one’s appliances working efficiently.
• Microwave Cleaning: For stuck on food, fill a cup with water and run for 2-3 minutes. When it boils, the steam will soften the debris making it easier to wipe away. Keeping this appliance clean of splatter and built-up food is important in keeping it energy efficient.

• Refrigerator Maintenance: Cleaning the condenser coils will extend the life of the refrigerator and help it run more efficiently to save energy. This is a task that is rarely performed, but should be done at least once a year. One should make it part of their spring cleaning every year.

• Appliance Maintenance: Prevent yellowing of white appliances by using a sponge soaked with baking soda and water. Apply, let it set for 10 minutes, rinse and dry. While this may be cosmetic, one does not want their beautiful white appliances looking yellow. Keeping them clean only takes a few minutes of care per week.

• Range Maintenance: Keep the burners and oven as clean as possible, built up food on these elements can rob one’s range of efficiency. A mild oven cleaner works really well and so will baking soda and vinegar if wants to use a green technique.

Greater Good Academy Recognizes Socially and Environmentally Responsible Denver Start-Ups

November 26th Event Celebrates 6th Graduating Class with Business Plan Showcase

Denver, CO, November 21, 2012 – Socially and environmentally minded entrepreneurs will gather to demonstrate how they plan to build Denver businesses focused on community and sustainability at the Greater Good Academy’s (GGA) showcase on November 26, 2012. The event, held from 5:30-7:45 p.m. at Mi Casa Resource Center (360 Acoma St., Denver, CO 80223), will showcase these emerging small business ventures and feature a discussion on business ethics and social responsibility.

The goal of the GGA program is to give low- and moderate-income entrepreneurs the training and financial support they need to develop ideas into profitable business plans. During an eight-week class, students develop “triple bottom line” business plans – plans that have community, sustainability and profit at their core.

Four of the Academy’s most recent graduates will present their business plans at the showcase. The event will feature: Tim Brauhn, Denver Seitan Company, (a line of delicious, healthy ‘fake meat’ vegan foods); Francine Lomiller & Kim Roth, Schoolyard Crop, (reconnecting students to nature and agriculture through a hands-on edible garden and curriculum program); Mike Pachan, SolCharged, (a veggie oil powered,  vending truck using solar technology to provide power for mobile devices); and Destiny Faithe, Colorado Pure Essentials, (a line of handcrafted natural soaps and personal care products).

The Showcase will also include Michael Ditchfield, owner of Jing, and Tammy Cunningham will present the ‘Cunningham Award’ to one Greater Good Academy (GGA) entrepreneurs in food-related businesses who exemplify the philanthropic contributions and communitarian ideals of Noel Cunningham, String’s Restaurant.

During the GGA, each entrepreneur completes a business plan that defines the company’s mission, operations, marketing, pricing and related growth strategies. The plan also describes how the business will integrate environmental and social elements into its overall business strategy.

“Businesses that care for the environment and quality of life in their community are more likely to become successful,” said Richard Eidlin, Founder and CEO of The Progress Group. “The Greater Good Academy program helps entrepreneurs implement sustainable and triple bottom line business thinking and practices to become more profitable.”

GGA also provides its students with meaningful business relationships by connecting the entrepreneurs with key people in the economic development, angel capital and socially responsible business world. Through these networking opportunities, the GGA program aims to equip its participants with the tools they need to take action and contribute to the Denver community.

“This event gives attendees the chance not only to meet these entrepreneurs, but also to learn more about the importance of business ethics and the benefits of socially responsible practices,” Eidlin said.

The GGA showcase is open to the general public. Registration is $15 for private companies, nonprofits, government and $10 for Greater Good Academy Alumni and students. Supporting organizations for the event include Accion, the Denver Office of Economic Development, the Colorado Enterprise Fund, Colorado Lending Source, Johnson and Wales University, Mi Casa Resource Center, Accion, Mile High Business Alliance and UMB Bank.
