A NOTE RE POSTING PRESS RELEASES AND PRESS TRIPS:

We've found it to be more effective for members to post press releases as individual topics in our discussion forum below, rather than under the catch-all "Press Releases" and "Press Trips/Media Fams," below in that same forum. That way your announcements will be easily visible and clickable for weeks and not "hidden" below the catch-all categories. We suggest a topic line beginning with "PRESS RELEASE: XYZ" or "PRESS TRIP: XYZ."

Some IFWTWA Australian members would like us to work on a press trip to Australia. Any PR people who have contacts please contact me. Members from North America, Europe, and Australia would be interested in attending. Fights could be from gateways.

I've an assignment where I need to get information on different Asian celebrations for the Chinese New Year. I need regional recipes tied into the celebrations with credits for the chef/property and dish history, jpgs are desirable. The article will be on a site that gets 1.6 million visitors a month to food page and will be introduced in a mailing to 250,000 subscribers. If you represent any properties that can assist with this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm looking for the PR firm that handles Hotel Secreto in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Also, the contact person. Does anyone know if there is a resource/database that provides that type of information?
thanks! John

A group of teachers through the volunteer nonprofit organization Wrestling the World are doing some wonderful things in Kenya that I would like to share with the Tripatini community.

The teachers of WTW connected with Hopewell HS which is located in the impoverished community of Barut, Kenya and started communicating through the internet and letters. They collborated - and bought to fruition - a project to build a stone classroom block (as they were in tin rooms).

When that was completed, WTW and the Barut community started working on another initative to improve the economic situation of the area.

In Kenya, community-owned and operated eco-lodges are prevalent. While they support local livelihoods and economies, they do not always encourage interaction between guests and the local people. The vision for the WTW International Village Kenya changes that by blurring the line between resident and tourist. This is a locally operated facility that offers casual, meaningful exchange between travelers and residents, and access to an extensive menu of volunteer projects.

In addition to cultural engagement, guests will have opportunities to experience the nature attractions of the area including a Big 5 safari in the vast Masai Mara game reserve and hiking to the Thompson Falls and Menengai Crater. All trip bookings, volunteer program management, and tour operations are fully managed by Wrestling the World and the International Village staff.

The first cottages at the International Village will be complete in December with the entire facility completed in June 2010. This is a not-for-profit enterprise that will have a permanent and significant presence in the community by offering a source of job and vocational training to help Barut residents improve their life situations, as well as making an important contribution to Kenyan tourism.

WTW is currently booking trips for summer 2010. WTW's model is for this to be a debt-free initiative. Hence, 100% of the proceeds from trip bookings will go back into the community. In addition to regular tours and family trips scheduled for June and August, WTW is offering College age specific trips in May and High School age specific trips in July for guests to experience the International Village.

This is such a cool story of how volunteers can work together to change the world. I invite you to join on one of the upcoming trips. For more info and to view a marketing brochure for trip details and pricing visit http://www.internationalvillages.org/

Charmaine, Oh how I wish I was visiting South Africa again. I've not been there since 1994. I had a wonderful time and loved the people I met. Maybe, at some point I'll have the chance to get there again. Maralyn
