With the Best Travel Deals scholarship, students can fly where ever they desire a rewarding educational experience.

(Vocus/PRWEB) January 05, 2011

BestTravelDeals.net, the world’s only social media platform for travel deals, is excited to announce a new travel scholarship opportunity for U.S. college students. Beginning in 2011, BestTravelDeals.net will provide one travel scholarship of $ 1000 to a student who demonstrates high academic achievement, and understands the importance of travel in our everyday lives. The scholarship will be offered annually, allowing more students to spread their academic wings, without having to worry about costly travel expenses.

Colleges and universities across the country offer a variety of travel abroad programs, which can significantly enhance a student’s educational experience, and set him or her apart from other graduates.

Unfortunately, such programs are not always funded, and require that the student provides for their own living or traveling accommodations. The Best Travel Deals Travel Scholarship aims to help make traveling abroad more accessible. The money may be used for a plane ticket to Japan, the first month’s rent for a dormitory in England, or to purchase food and other necessities while living in Italy. No matter where a student chooses to study, the scholarship can turn a travel abroad dream into a reality.

Applying for the Best Travel Deals Travel Scholarship is easy. To be considered, students must submit an online application to Best Travel Deals with an attached essay submission. The essay, which is not to exceed 1200 words, should address why travel is important. The writing may reflect upon a past travel experience, and must clearly state how travel has, or could, enrich the educational experience. All applicants must be enrolled full time in an accredited college or university as an undergraduate student. The chosen recipient will be asked to provide proof of enrollment prior to obtaining the funds.

Students interested in the Best Travel Deals Travel Scholarship should submit the requested materials no later than 5 p.m. EST on Monday, March 14. Please visit Best Travel Deals for complete requirements, or to fill out an application.

Ticket Journal Unveils Unique New Way To Preserve Memories

The Ticket Journal offers your memory of events on display.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 21, 2010

Normal scrapbooks are designed for pictures, but they make it challenging for people to preserve another precious keepsake: tickets to events attended with friends or family.

That’s why two enterprising – and sentimental! – businessmen created The Ticket Journal, http://www.ticketjournals.com. It is a unique, high-quality journal that is specifically designed to store and attractively display tickets and ticket stubs.

“The Ticket Journal is a unique book that was created out of necessity, because there was nothing else like it,” explains creator and founder Nicholas Caputo. “We wanted to create an exquisite journal for people to preserve all of the precious memories that are tied to each ticket stub. We realized that these ticket stub memories are unfortunately being kept in desk drawers, shoe boxes and pencil cups. Attending an event is often expensive but preserving each memory is far more priceless.”

The Ticket Journal doesn’t just safely store and preserve your tickets; It offers 108 individual page entries that allow users to record all of the details of the special events they attend.

The Ticket Journal contains many distinctive features, including an elegant leatherette cover, acid-free archival quality paper and unique “compensation guards” (removable inserts that allow the Ticket Journal to maintain its original shape as the book grows with addition of each new ticket entry).

It can be used for tickets to literally any type of event, from movies at the local theater, to plays, to sporting events; it can be used to preserve tickets to the circus, musicals, even plane tickets.

“This is a journal that is intended to be on display for all to see and not simply stored on a book shelf or in the back of a drawer,” according to Timothy Blazek, the Original Ticket Journal co-creator. “With the creation of the Ticket Journal it will allow me to record the events with my children as they get older as we attend their first baseball game, play and football game in turn passing along memories for generations to come. We are delighted to be able to bring this experience to our customers as well.”

Those seeking more information, or wishing to purchase their own Ticket Journal, can visit http://www.ticketjournals.com

Entrepreneurs Attend Virtual Conference from the Comfort of Their Own Phone.

Victoria, Canada (PRWEB) October 10, 2004

Entrepreneurs in urban and rural areas don’t have to buy a plane ticket, reserve a hotel room or pack their favourite suit in order to attend a conference anymore. Four Victoria business owners have organized a virtual conference where entrepreneurs throughout North America can enhance their business knowledge over the phone through a series of teleclasses.

“I enjoy conferences but the costs are sometimes out of reach or we just don’t have the time,” says Paulette Nurse, owner of Need-PC-Help-Right-Now? and a partner in the project. “We wanted to provide an innovative, affordable and accessible way for people to learn.”

“Simmer Up A Solution” is the theme for this five-day virtual conference, being held from October 18 to 22, 2004. “The conference is geared towards entrepreneurs in the creation phase, already in business, considering expansion, or those who just want to build their business knowledge,” explains Delaney Tosh of Catalyst Coaching. The conference will include six teleclasses, offered over the course of Small Business Week, which will cover topics such as finances, marketing, promotions, websites and expansion. An online message board is also available to participants to interact and ask questions.

“What I appeals to me about providing knowledge via the telephone is that we can also reach entrepreneurs who live in rural areas,” says Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith of Firefly Communications. “It is also a safe way to access information for those people who are just thinking of starting a business but may not feel comfortable announcing it to the world yet.”

Teleclasses are a huge trend in the United States that is gaining momentum in Canada. Teleclasses, or long distance learning, are classes conducted over the phone, much like a conference call. Participants sign up for courses over the Internet and are then invited to dial in to a bridge line. A bridge line allows for a large number of people to be on one phone call. Teleclass leaders facilitate their workshop while participants from all over the world listen in and learn.

“There are many benefits to teleclass learning. Yes, it is easy and inexpensive but it also minimizes the isolation that many entrepreneurs struggle with,” says Linda Conn, business coach and owner of http://www.VictoriaBusinessTalk.com

“Simmer Up A Solution” Virtual Conference for Entrepreneurs will be held from October 18th to 22nd. As workshops are offered over the phone, participants must have a landline and a long distance plan. Access to the Internet is also strongly encouraged. To register and for more information, please visit http://www.victoriabusinesstalk.com/virtualconference

Travelers First Travel on the Web

Tempe, AZ (PRWEB) August 23, 2006

As the world is getting smaller, people are traveling more and more. The survival skills that any seasoned traveler must have are not as clear as they might seem. John Newman, webmaster of travellerpass.com comments: “There are many ways for a vacation or a business trip to go horribly wrong. Ensuring that these things will not happen is actually easier than you might think. It just takes a little practice”

The Internet is now serving a role that nobody would have dared think about even ten years ago. Information can be crucial in these circumstances and knowing where to find it can literally mean the difference. “This is the entire purpose of our website”, the same John Newman continues, “We tried to provide accurate information while also trying to bring the best deals for our customers. Going on a trip without plane or hotel room reservations is like asking for trouble to happen.”

As you are very well aware though, the reason behind most of the online travelers checking websites like travellerpass.com is to find exceptional deals. “Indeed, this is why most of our customers visit us and this also one of our most appreciated services. You can actually end up spending less by ordering on the web, because many hotels and airlines are now aware of what this potential marketing medium can bring. The prices offered for hotel room reservations are usually cheaper than those obtained by directly phoning the hotel lobby. This is why we stay in business.”

But there are other dangers to traveling other than the risks of not finding a plane ticket or a free hotel room. This is especially true for travelers who decide to take their pet along. Many hotels refuse such customers. “We try to provide accurate information by explicitly stating if a certain hotel allows pets or not.”, John Newman explains. Also some vegetarians might be in for a shock when presented the daily menu that some offers include. “Despite our attempts to provide as much relevant information as possible, this sort of accidents still happen. We highly recommend that in those rare circumstances that this sort of information is missing, to call directly the hotel staff to ask about these issues.”

About travelerpass.com

Travellerpass.com offers a unique range of services ranging from plane ticket reservations to hotel rooms reservations. The unique special offers that can be found here has already turned this site into a point of reference for those in search of a safe and affordable travel experience.

Fly Free to Jackson Hole this Winter – Jackson Hole Announces Airfare Deal: Buy 2, Get 2 Free Plane Tickets

Jackson Hole 2 for 2 Airfare Deal

Jackson, Wyo. (PRWEB) December 9, 2009

Located in the heart of the Rockies, Jackson Hole has long been legendary for its world-class skiing and snowboarding. Now the mountain resort town will have one more reason to be at the top of winter enthusiasts’ and travelers’ priority lists: the 2 for 2 Jackson Hole airfare deal, which offers two free plane tickets when customers purchase an additional two to Jackson Hole for travel during January. The 2 for 2 airfare special is the sister promotion to the 4th Flies Free program, which provides a fourth free plane ticket with the purchase of three more for travel throughout the winter months.

“Our 4th Flies Free program has been tremendously successful. We saw the 2 for 2 program as an opportunity to bolster the value-added element even further during a month that traditionally offers great skiing conditions,” stated Jackson Hole Central Reservations General Manager, Edye Smith. “We’ve adapted our business model over the past two years to better address the changing landscape of travel today and we feel the 2 for 2 effort does this in a very substantial way.”

In addition to skiing and snowboarding, Jackson Hole is located at the southern entrance of both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, offering visitors a truly unique winter vacation experience. Continued Smith, “The beauty of Jackson Hole is that it’s really unlike any other ski town in the U.S. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, visitors can enjoy a snowmobile tour to Old Faithful in Yellowstone or wildlife viewing in the national parks, dog sled tours, dinner sleigh rides and a multitude of other winter activities. Jackson Hole is known for incredible skiing, but it was a cowboy town long before and that authentic Western hospitality is still very much a part of the visitor experience.”

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is now open for the 2009/2010-winter season. This will be the second season for the new aerial tram, which can transport 100 passengers from the base to the top of the mountain in nine minutes. Although known for its advanced terrain, Jackson Hole has something for everyone, including 2,500 acres of in-bound terrain ranging from beginner to expert. Additionally, the town of Jackson and Teton Village provide a variety of lodging options, from moderate motels to luxury, full-service resorts.

The two free ticket airfare deal has a maximum travel credit of $ 500 each and must be booked in conjunction with a minimum five-night stay and lift tickets to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The promotion is valid for travel from January 3 – 31, 2010 and must be booked through Jackson Hole Central Reservations by January 1, 2010. For more information on the 2 for 2 or 4th Flies Free program, call Jackson Hole Central Reservations at 866-749-4072.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming is located at the base of the Grand Tetons in the heart of the Rocky Mountain West and provides year-round travel and tourism opportunities. Jackson Hole Central Reservations has served as the area’s official reservations agency for over 40 years, offering discount lodging, airfare and activities. Visit Jackson Hole’s Official Travel Site, JacksonHoleWY.com for more information.
