Luxury Travel Ltd is Promoting Family Escape to Vung Tau Beach from Ho Chi Minh City

September 4, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

Luxury Travel Vietnam is offering a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City for travelers who wish to discover the best that Vung Tau has to offer.

Hanoi, Vietnam, September 4, 2012 — Vung Tau, located at about 125 kilometers to the southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, was known as Cap Saint-Jacques under French occupation. Among Vietnamese and expatriates, it is a popular beach destination for weekend trips, and now Luxury Travel Vietnam is offering a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City for travelers who wish to discover the best that Vung Tau has to offer.

“Travelers can reach Vung Tau by speedboat, car or helicopter from Ho Chi Minh City. Vung Tau is a busy coast city with a few beaches, an attractive summer palace, a couple of interesting temples, a few other attractions and not much else, so it offers enough to do but nevertheless offers an off the beaten path and low key escape. However, luxury properties, casinos and golf courses are set to open soon, in order attract long stay, high end holidaymakers to both the Ho Tram area and Vung Tau. Twenty kilometers from the city center is Long Hai town, once a fishing village and now a small resort popular with Vietnamese people. Vung Tau is also the place to board a boat, plane or helicopter to visit famous Con Dao Island, 180 kilometers away.” Said Pham Ha, CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

The trip starts in the early morning and guests will be driven to Vung Tau, stopping on the way to visit the Large House (Nha Lon) and its temples at Long Son Island, the location of many significant festivals.

The peninsula has scattered temples and points of interest, but is still tranquil and undeveloped in some areas. However, now is the time to go for travelers who like serene locations, as Vung Tau is always considered a top spot for future development of entertainment complexes and Disney Land style resorts.

Besides temples, VungTàu also has many beaches to explore, including Back Beach (Bãi Sau) and Front Beach (Bãi Tru?c).

And no trip would be complete without visiting the Christ of Vung Tau, which was built by Vietnam’s Catholic minority, and which stands 32 metres tall and possesses two outstretched arms spanning 18.4 meters.

Visitors will be able to take in all that Vung Tau has to offer, and still be back in Ho Chi Minh City by 6 p.m., in time to enjoy the city’s nightlife.

“Vung Tau preserves the feel of a harmonious community of religions, mountains, beaches and architecture, both old and new. It is now a favourite weekend beach escape destination for family vacations from Ho Chi Minh City. This short trip has all the best Vung Tau has to offer.” adds Pham Ha.

The tour price starts from US$82 per person for a private party of two people. Price includes all private pick up and drop off services, transportation from Ho Chi Minh City, meals, entrance fees and the services of an English-speaking guide. This offer is valid until 30 December 2013.

FRA Welcomes Australian Carbon Forest EU Link-Up

September 4, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

FRA have welcomed news that Australia’s carbon forests are being linked to the EU’s ETS to help encourage investment in the carbon offsetting tool.

Seattle, United States, September 4, 2012 — Forestry Research Associates (FRA) have welcomed news that Australia’s carbon forests are being linked to the EU’s ETS to help encourage investment in the carbon offsetting tool.

The move is also being greeted warmly by the country’s carbon offsetting pioneer, Greenfleet, which said that the change will bring plenty of credibility to its carbon forest scheme. Greenfleet CEO, Sarah Gipton, explained, “It brings greater simplicity to the scheme; and linking to the more established market means Australia will benefit from the EU experience and Australian carbon project developers can tap into a larger market.”

She went on to add: “We are confident that investment in Australian carbon forests that offer additional biodiversity benefits will continue to rise as liable parties build their carbon management portfolios.”

Ms Gipton issued a statement talking about the relatively new asset class of investing in carbon offsetting. She explained that most savvy investors will take the ‘portfolio approach when making investments to deal with the risks. This is the same as any other asset class – it’s always a good idea to hedge your bets with a diverse portfolio, claims FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins.

Greenfleet is a forest abatement organization that helps businesses to offset their carbon emissions by planting trees. FRA supports this kind of project and also investment in forestry via sustainable plantations, which can also help to businesses and individual investors to offset their carbon emissions – while making healthy returns.

“Investing in plantations through forestry managers like Greenwood Management, which runs plantations in Brazil and Canada, is a great way to give a little back while making your cash work harder for you.”

Forestry investment tend to perform better than stocks and bonds and the demand for timber and charcoal products is rising off the back of growing economies of India, China and Japan.

Investing in Student Town Condos is a Money Spinner, claims AAA

September 4, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

AAA is recommending that those parents of college students who can afford it should invest in real estate in college towns to make a healthy return and save some cash through the college years.

Boston, MA, USA, September 4, 2012 — Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) is recommending that those parents of college students who can afford it should invest in real estate in college towns to make a healthy return and save some cash through the college years.

The alternative investment advocacy group is not the only one encouraging parents to buy student digs to make a profit. In fact mortgage and housing expert, Ken Harney, recently wrote about the issue in an article for Forbes. He described how soaring rents are making sending kids to college even more expensive. Buying a property can solve the short-term problem while making a buck or two over the long term.

AAA says that people without children in college can also benefit from the boom in college town real estate by buying up a modest property and renting it out to students. Now is the time to swoop, claims AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson. He said “The housing market has bottomed out and is slowly on its way back up. Buy now and you’re likely to make money over the medium to long-term.”

In many of the US’s largest college towns, the average rents of properties are now several times the average mortgage repayments due each month, so investing in a student property makes sense now and in the future.

Although some college towns, like Boston and Washington DC are not cheap places to buy property, others, like Pittsburgh and Atlanta remain much more affordable and rents are still high compared with mortgage repayments. “The model works almost everywhere,” added Mr Johnson.

As well as advocating real estate investment, AAA also promotes ethical investments, such as sustainable timberland investments through firms like Greenwood Management that run plantations in Brazil and Canada. “Forestry is another asset class that gives investors something tangible, with intrinsic value, in exchange for their dollars,” said Johnson.

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.

How to Land your Hedge Fund Dream Job at Golden Networking’s Alternative Investments Conference

September 3, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

Building off of the momentum of past conferences, Golden Networking brings back Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012, “Getting Ready to Manage $5 Trillion by 2016”, now in New York, Chicago and London (www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com).

New York City, NY, USA (September 3, 2012) — Forbes’ Susan Adams had good news for the significant proportion of undergraduate and graduate population who chose alternative investments: Hedge funds are indeed hiring right now. How to get to know where to go? The key is networking at Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012, “Getting Ready to Manage $5 Trillion by 2016” (http://www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com).

The first step in considering a hedge fund job is to think long and hard about whether your personality is suited to the pressure-cooker environment of most funds. “The competition to keep the edge and to outperform is very high”. Consider not only whether you truly thrive under pressure but also whether you’re good at synthesizing and evaluating a lot of data quickly.

If you’re ready to make the leap, get ready to be aggressive about networking, says Roy Cohen, a career and executive coach and author of The Wall Street Professional’s Survival Guide. “Hedge fund types have short attention spans, and they are not very comfortable networking,” he observes. That means you have to push hard yourself and avoid taking rejection personally.

“Leverage whatever contacts you have”. Because hedge funds are unregulated and tend to keep their business under wraps, they don’t hold events that are open to the public. “You can’t just walk into a hedge fund conference and sign up”.

How to make those contacts? On September 25 in New York, October 9 in Chicago and December 12 in London, hundreds of the most important players in alternative investments will gather for all-star agendas at Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012, “Getting Ready to Manage $5 Trillion by 2016” (http://www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com). A virtual who’s who will soon follow as one legendary manager after another will take the stage. Billions of investable assets will be represented by influential local and international investors who will listen with rapt attention as star managers and analysts discuss and debate the biggest issues facing the industry today.

Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012, “Getting Ready to Manage $5 Trillion by 2016” will provide attendees in New York, Chicago and London with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands and how regulatory and alpha expectation s will impact it. Recognized managers, investors, experts, regulators, and strategists will return to Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012 to provide the information practitioners are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.

Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2012 is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors.
