Global Theme Parks Market to Reach US$ 29.5 Billion by 2015, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.











San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 08, 2011

Visitor attendance remained more or less sluggish in theme parks across the world during 2009. The rather flat visitor attendance in theme parks was due to the turmoil in the global economy. Weak economy restricted the consumer expenditure on certain avoidable spending such as visiting a theme park. The trend was significantly visible in matured markets including North America, Europe, and Japan. However, with the recovery in economy, attendance is poised to improve driven by tendency of families to spend their discretionary free time on outdoor fun and increasing popularity of mass entertainment. Further, operators’ increased focus on the development of sophisticated entertainment-related technology capable of delivering amusement and fun to visitors is expected to benefit the market. In addition, focused promotion of entertainment and tourism by the governments in developing countries is expected to improve per capita spending and attendance in theme parks in countries such as China, India, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Theme parks and attractions have emerged as favorite modes of mass entertainment for people in recent years. Amusement parks involving roller coaster rides developed and gained popularity at the turn of the century. On the other hand, theme park is a relatively new entertainment concept that strives to generate a fantasy environment of another place or time. Theme parks are usually planned to serve as a fun outing for the entire family, and they are considered a form of leisure activity as they offer an opportunity for entertainment during an individual’s discretionary free time. Amusement Parks and theme parks incorporate themes or stories combined with visual statements around which landscaping, architecture, rides, costumed personnel, food services, and shows, and coordinated merchandising. Inauguration of Disneyland in Anaheim, California in 1955 represents a key milestone in the worldwide live entertainment industry.

The United States represents the largest regional market for theme parks worldwide, as stated by the new market research report on Theme Parks. A majority number of theme parks experienced the impact of the economic recession in the US during 2009. Decline in jobs, consumers staying away from excess spending, and weak tourism, all resulted from turmoil in the economy, pressured the theme parks market in the country during the year. The normalcy in economy and the likely growth in tourism, especially the European tourist arrivals, are expected to improve the market revenues in the coming years. Asia-Pacific theme parks market is poised to demonstrate the fastest growth with revenues projected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 6.1% over the analysis period.

Usage of entertainment-related technology is increasingly becoming imperative for the success of a theme park. A major focus on service development is in the usage of simulation experiences and virtual reality. Technological advances have permitted theme park designers to effectively replicate almost any special effect and natural scenario. High-end visual imagery is combined with ultra-sophisticated seating that respond to users’ actions, imparting realistic experience of enjoyment that was unavailable previously in theme parks. One of the earliest and most popular examples of the technology is the Disneyland’s Star Tours attraction. While these simulations are developed for a fraction of the cost of traditional attractions, their technology is also more flexible, and more land efficient. However, one of the biggest challenges faced by theme parks is to keep abreast latest technological developments while retaining the excitement and spontaneity of actual rides.

Major players profiled in the report include Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Islands of Adventure, Lotte World, Magic Kingdom, Samsung Everland Inc., Six Flags Inc., The Adventuredome, Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, Universal Studios, Universal Studios Hollywood, Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, among others.

The research report titled “Theme Parks: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of the theme parks markets, current market trends, competitive scenario, key growth drivers, product overview, recent product introductions, recent industry activity, and profiles of major/niche global as well as regional market participants. The report provides annual revenue estimates and projections for theme parks market for the years 2007 through 2015 for the following geographic markets – US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East/Africa, and Latin America.

Homes for sale in Las Vegas hit record high all-cash purchases in buying spree from from institutional and private investors. Las Vegas real estate is currently #1 in the US for price-to-rent ratio making it possibly the best rate of return on cash-flow properties in America.

Money that has been sitting on the sidelines for years is making its way into the Las Vegas residential market buying mostly Las Vegas foreclosures with over $ 720 Million just in the last 90-days.

McCormick says that the strong rental market is backed by the service industry that is directly tied to tourism. According to the annual tourism report the average Las Vegas tourist spent more and stayed longer compared to a year earlier. Visitors stayed an average of 4.6 days with the average cost of a vacation package since 2010 at $ 651 and holding thru 2011.

Vegas is know for it’s incredible deals on travel, entertainment and now buying second homes, Las Vegas high rise condos or immediate cash-flow investment properties.

Vacation Rental Market Offers Tourism With Minimal Environmental Impact and Encourages Ecotourism in Kauai, Hawaii

Vacation Rental Market Offers Tourism With Minimal Environmental Impact and Encourages Ecotourism in Kauai, Hawaii












Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) November 27, 2006

Kauai, HI: Kauai, Hawaii provides one of the most effective examples of ecotourism in the United States today by offering a tourist destination that has preserved its natural beauty while opening its arms to visitors from around the world. The growing availability of vacation rentals in places such as Kauai, Poipu, Princeville and Hanalei has lead to a change in the visitor experience. These vacation rentals offer tourists a unique opportunity to engage in the local communities and share in the true “Aloha” of Hawaii.

Ecotourism is defined by the Hawaii Ecotourism Association as “nature and culture based tourism that is ecologically sustainable and supports the well being of local communities”. According to a poll of HEA members in 2004, to be considered as genuinely engaging in ecotourism, operators need to minimize the negative impact on Hawaii’s cultural heritage, local communities and natural environment, as well as maximize the positive impact on these factors. Furthermore, these operators must also foster an appreciation of Hawaii’s sense of place among staff and visitors. In Hawaii, the spirit of the land is referred to as “aina”. Kauai condo complexes and hotels are sensitive to this “aina” because they are built with special care to have the least impact possible on the land and wildlife in the local area.

For the savvy traveler who is also environmentally concerned, Kauai vacation rentals can offer a true Hawaiian experience that does an outstanding job of providing first class amenities and service while allowing the traveler to experience the incredible raw beauty of a Pacific Island.    Online resources make it simple to plan a vacation based around the concepts of ecotourism because you can browse for Kauai vacations with just a few simple clicks of your mouse and yet still be able to get personalized, one-on-one service. Charles Koehl of Hawaiian Beach Rentals states that, “Every vacationer is looking to have the vacation of a lifetime and we aim to help them find it in Hawaii. Our customers want to be able to ask questions about their trip and have a human interact with them and listen to their desires and dreams and make suggestions on what they would like.”

The focus on ecotourism in Hawaii causes operators to lean toward renewable tourism as opposed to building a 20 story hotel on the beach without considering its environmental impact. This creates an unprecedented opportunity for tourists to revel in the natural magnificence of Hawaii in a special setting of their own choice. Protecting the environment also gives tourists the opportunity to fully understand the wildlife, flora and traditions of Hawaii. Simply by surfing the Internet, travelers can view their potential Kauai vacation condos and finalize arrangements for their trip securely online. Koehl of Hawaiian Beach Rentals further says that, “Allowing our customers to make a transaction easily and securely online also makes us unique. We provide our customers with service on all of the major Hawaiian Islands and offer accommodations, airfare and car rentals to customers wanting to travel to Hawaii.”

Environmentally responsible hotels are known as “green hotels” because they use energy and other natural resources in environmentally responsible ways. Ecotourism was also internationally recognized when the United Nations celebrated the “International Year of Ecotourism” in 2002. Hawaii has been engaging in the practice of ecotourism for many years and Kauai vacation rentals evidence the success of this vibrant, important movement. Incredible, first-class accommodations are available all over the island, from a Poipu vacation home to Kauai hotels, that enable visitors to have a realistic Hawaiian experience without compromising the world around them.

In short, ecotourism is a vehicle to sustainable development that makes it possible to accept tourists without compromising the quality of the land and its precious resources. A Kauai vacation gives well-informed tourists an opportunity to see the benefits of ecotourism in action, especially since this is a long-standing concept in this area of Hawaii.

Environmentally-friendly Hawaiian vacations are easier and more affordable to plan than was ever thought possible with the growing online resources available to travelers today. Take advantage of this technology to plan the most unique, socially-conscious trip of a lifetime! After all, today’s vacation rental market is filled with incredible travel opportunities that make a tropical trip more accessible than it ever was before.

DonorPerfect Fights Blackbaud’s Efforts to Monopolize Nonprofit Fundraising Software Market after Blackbaud Acquires Convio

DonorPerfect Fights Blackbaud’s Efforts to Monopolize Nonprofit Fundraising Software Market after Blackbaud Acquires Convio











Horsham, PA (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Blackbaud’s (BLKB) proposed $ 275 million acquisition of Convio (CNVO), announced recently, is a concern for many in the nonprofit community because it seeks to reduce needed competition and product choice.

“By removing Convio from the market, Blackbaud is continuing its strategy of attempting to limit competition and innovation,” noted Jon Biedermann, Vice President of Fundraising Products for SofterWare, makers of DonorPerfect. “There is a lot of overlap between Blackbaud and Convio products, and it’s very likely that Blackbaud will follow the same ‘forced-migration’ strategy they’ve used in their previous acquisitions, in order to reduce costs and increase profits for their shareholders.”

What’s Best for Nonprofits

The strong negative reaction in the nonprofit community is not surprising since this certainly creates uncertainty about which products will survive. Many Convio clients, like those who’ve chosen DonorPerfect, were looking for a more cost-effective and innovative alternative to Blackbaud. Now those Convio clients have very legitimate fears about losing the investment they’ve made. According to Douglas Schoenberg, SofterWare CEO, “We view our clients as one of our most valuable assets, but we don’t think that means that they should be bought and sold, like real estate. We know that may be contrary to the interests of private equity investors or public shareholders, which is one of the main reasons we’ve chosen to remain a private company, with no outside investors.”

DonorPerfect – A Proven Alternative to Blackbaud

“We strongly believe that the nonprofit community is best served by having a vibrant choice of technology solutions,” Mr. Schoenberg continued. “With over 10,000 nonprofit clients throughout the world, SofterWare is already a leader in nonprofit software innovation and we’re 100% committed to continuing our investment in DonorPerfect, DonorPages and WebLink — all products that compete with those from Blackbaud and Convio. We’re not interested in being the biggest nonprofit software provider; we just want to offer the most cost-effective and innovative solutions possible. We’ve been doing that for over 30 years and we look forward to continuing to do so.”

Mr. Biedermann added, “DonorPerfect’s growth and success continue to come from our focus on our core mission, which is helping nonprofit organizations save time, become more efficient, and raise more money. We believe our clients are best served by our continuous investment in our products rather than by purchasing all of our competitors.”

About SofterWare, Inc.

SofterWare, Inc., based in Horsham, Pennsylvania is a leading provider of software to nonprofit organizations, with over 10,000 clients throughout the world. DonorPerfect, its fundraising/CRM solution, received more “Excellent” ratings than any other vendor in N-TEN and Idealware’s “A Consumers Guide to Low Cost Donor Management Solutions”. It also received the Campbell Award in 2010 for “Excellent Customer Satisfaction”.

In addition to the company’s DonorPerfect fundraising software, SofterWare also offers software for managing childcare centers, public and private schools, and camps and conference centers.

Daisy Dell Cottage Exterior


Witney, Oxfordshire (PRWEB) May 10, 2011

UK holiday company Jigsaw Holidays has today added 3 bedroom Daisy Dell Cottage to its portfolio of premium quality cotswold cottages available for short and medium-term rental.

Situated in the popular English village of Kingham, Daisy Dell Cottage is brand new to the holiday rental market. Kingham was recently named “England’s Favourite Village” by Country Life Magazine. The 18th Century property is set over three floors and features its own private garden surrounded by its original stone wall.

Speaking about the latest addition to the company’s portfolio, company director Anna Phillips said “We’re incredibly proud to be offering Daisy Dell Cottage to our customers wishing to holiday in the Cotswolds.”

“It’s a beautiful holiday cottage – the owners have taken great care to maintain many of the property’s original features to ensure guests have a truly Cotswold experience,” added Ms Phillips.

Key Features of Daisy Dell Cottage

The classically-styled property is set over 3 floors and features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

The cottage is a fully-restored 18th Century property, complete with original features including the structural beams.

A high-specification LCD TV, DVD player, WIFI internet, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine are available for use by guests.

The property is situated in Kingham, close to the world-renowned Daylesford Organic Farmshop and Spa and a short drive to popular Cotswold attractions: Sudeley Castle; Blenheim Palace; The Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford Upon Avon; the village of Bourton on the Water; and the Cotswold Motor Museum.

The cost for a one week rental of Daisy Dell Cottage starts at £595 and more information about the newly-available property is featured on the Jigsaw Holidays website.

The Rise of The British “Stay-Cation”

Jigsaw Holidays director Anna Phillips has watched the popularity of British holidays grow in recent months, and recently wrote about the trend in Cotswold Style magazine.

Noting that make British holiday-makers are becoming reluctant to travel abroad because of rising costs as well as environmental and terrorism concerns, Ms Phillips writes “The marketing of our beautiful country was not exactly impeded by the best efforts of the Icelandic volcano or airline industrial relations last year.”

“Couple this with the soaring oil prices this year that have already triggered increased fuel surcharges for foreign travel, it is no wonder that the great English holiday is here to stay” she added.

Travelers Expands Commercial Auto Coverage Market

Travelers Expands Commercial Auto Coverage Market











HARTFORD, Conn., (Vocus) December 5, 2006

Travelers (http://www.travelers.com) today announced the availability of commercial auto coverage for small to mid-sized businesses on a monoline basis through its Select Accounts, Commercial Accounts and Construction divisions. This expanded monoline auto program provides a high-liability commercial auto policy on a stand-alone basis even when the supporting lines of coverage do not qualify.

“Agents often have trouble finding a desirable standard market for their commercial auto business. Our monoline program allows agents to separate the commercial auto coverage needs and consider Travelers as a better alternative,” said Bill Cunningham, president of Travelers Commercial Accounts. “This gives customers the benefits of a preferred market, including superior service, a vast network of claim professionals in all 50 states, and the comfort of knowing that the number one writer of commercial auto in the U.S. is standing behind them.”

“The combination of high limits and additional coverage options through Travelers’ Business Auto Coverage Extension Endorsement allows agents to offer one of the best commercial auto policies available,” added Todd Bateson, president of Travelers Construction.

Travelers also simplifies commercial auto insurance for companies working in more than one state by covering multi-state exposures on one policy, a feature both commercial and construction customers often require.* A minimum of five vehicles to very large fleets can be covered individually or as a group.

“Commercial auto is available to all Travelers agents, and our broad appetite for a wide variety of business classes opens the door for agents to increase their customer offerings and ultimately their business,” said Marc Schmittlein, president of Travelers Select Accounts. “They can underwrite the monoline coverage just as they would for coverage associated with another package by submitting accounts easily through IENetSM, Travelers’ award-winning rate, quote and issuance system or through their local middle market field office.”

About Travelers

Travelers believes that life and business are inherently dynamic and that the best way to serve agents and policyholders is to provide insurance that helps them stay in-synch with their lives. For more information on being in-synch, visit http://www.travelers.com.

Travelers is a business of The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: STA), a leading property casualty insurer selling primarily through agents and brokers. The company’s diverse business lines offer its global customers a wide range of coverage in both the personal and commercial settings, including automobile, homeowners, construction, small business, oil and gas, ocean marine, financial and professional services, global technology and public sector services. St. Paul Travelers is ranked 85 in the Fortune 500, with 2005 revenues of $ 24.4 billion and total assets of $ 113.2 billion. The company has approximately 32,000 employees.

“It is clear that our dating culture is in sync with today’s fast-paced society,” says Travis Hartley, Founder of Meet Market Adventures. “While ‘meeting the parents’ used to be a major step for most couples, today people are inviting their significant others home for the holidays early on in the relationship.”

Meet Market Adventures also queried singles about their office holiday party. The data showed that 72 percent of singles will attend their office holiday party solo, while 15 percent will bring a friend and 13 percent will have a date.
