Starwood lanza política para casos de interrupción de viajes por tormentas tropicales en el Caribe

Posted on 26 May 2012 by admin

Starwood Hotels and Resorts presentó al mercado su política para casos de interrupción de viajes en el Caribe durante 2012, donde los expertos predicen, a partir de 1 de junio, una temporada ciclónica “más lenta” que en años anteriores.

“Aunque los expertos esperan una temporada más lenta que en años pasados, Starwood quiere que sus clientes comprendan que nuestra política de cancelaciones asegura una vacación sin riesgos para nuestros huéspedes en hoteles y resorts del Caribe”, dijo Jim Curtis, director de Ventas y Marketing de Starwood para la región.

En caso de una tormenta que clasifique en el récord de los centros meteorológicos (validada por el National Hurricane Center), los hoteles y resorts de Starwood en el Caribe reemplazarán el balance de las vacaciones de los huéspedes afectados por la duración de su reservación, anunció el ejecutivo.

Adicionalmente, los clientes hospedados no serán penalizados por partida temprana en caso de tormenta, y cualquier porción del depósito no consumida será devuelta.

Todos los reemplazos de vacaciones en hoteles y resorts de Starwood deben ser redimidos en el plazo de un año, y las reservaciones, en establecimientos similares al que visitaban los clientes durante la cancelación, se harán en dependencia del espacio disponible.

Aquellos huéspedes con reservación confirmada que no puedan viajar al destino debido a cierres de aeropuertos o de hoteles de Starwood en el Caribe, tendrán la opción de un reembolso total o la estancia en una habitación de más alta categoría en su próxima visita dentro del plazo de un año. La garantía ofrecida por Starwood se basa en la disponibilidad.

Los hoteles de Starwood Hotels and Resorts que participan de este programa en el Caribe son The Westin St John Resort and Villas, en Islas Vírgenes de Estados Unidos; The Westin Resort and Casino, Aruba, y Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort & Casino, Bahamas, así como el Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino, el W Retreat & Spa-Vieques Island, el St Regis Bahia Beach Resort, el Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel & Casino y el Four Points By Sheraton Caguas Real Hotel & Casino, estos últimos en Puerto Rico.

Además, están incluidos el The Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa, Gran Caimán, y el The Westin Dawn Beach Resort & Spa, en St Maarten.

“Women and Girls in ICT”

Posted on 16 May 2012 by admin

ICTs play a catalytic role in creating opportunities for people in every walk of life, especially for those among us who are vulnerable and disadvantaged, while providing the framework for long-term sustainable development.
This year, on World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, we are determined to harness the full potential of ICTs for the benefit of women and girls by eliminating gender disparities and empowering them to meet their goals and aspirations. The theme of this year’s WTISD, “Women and Girls in ICT”, aims to ensure that this significant, female half of the world’s population will march forward as equals.
Women are the bedrock of our societies. They are the pillars of strength in every family and community. Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched. Women and girls are denied access to basic health care and education and to equal opportunities at work. They face segregation in economic, political and social decision-making and often suffer violence and discrimination.
This situation is unacceptable and we must address it with all the means available to us.
Gender equality is a basic human right enshrined in the UN Charter, and it is one of the main objectives of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). ICTs are tools that can help accelerate progress towards achieving this target, and it is for this reason that ITU Council proposed that we focus our efforts this year on women and girls, using the power of ICTs to provide new digital opportunities to end discrimination and empower women and girls to achieve their rightful place as equals in the world. This effort with ICTs must begin not only from the cradle, but from antenatal health care, reaching out to the remotest communities through telemedicine and other means ― with every mother, every girl and every woman guaranteed her birthright.
I call upon ITU Member States, Sector Members and Associates as well as academia and citizens’ groups to pull together every conceivable resource to ensure that women and girls in every community around the world have full access to ICTs in order to empower them with information and knowledge, to know their rights, and to seize every available digital opportunity.
I also call upon our other partners and stakeholders ― political leaders, policy makers, regulators, operators, industry and civil society ― to adopt policies and strategies that will promote ICT opportunities for women and girls.
National governments, private sector, donors, civil society and educationists need to acknowledge and support the central role professional women can play in further developing and servicing a dynamic and competitive ICT sector. The growing demand for a range of ICT skills around the globe present a unique window of opportunity to properly position girls and women in the industry and provide them with the tools necessary to succeed.

The ICT sector in particular can pave the way by providing avenues of advancement to professional women at the highest echelons of decision making and by encouraging young women to seek new careers within the sector.
I urge you to celebrate World Telecommunication and Information Society Day this year by paying particular attention to the special needs of women and girls, extending to them the benefits of ICTs so as to create a paradigm shift in opportunities offered now and in the future. An egalitarian and just society is the basis for a peaceful and prosperous world.

 

Dr Hamadoun I. Touré

Tourism Industry Supports 255 Million Jobs Worldwide

Posted on 14 May 2012 by admin

The Tour Operators’ Initiative for Sustainable Tourism Development (TOI), whose members represent more than 50 million leisure travelers a year, is supportive of efforts in favor of a global, multilaterally-agreed framework for the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from aviation that would mirror the global nature of travel and tourism, with all jurisdictions working hand-in-hand.

“The travel industry at large, as well as the aviation industry, have already taken actions to reduce GHG emissions and we would welcome globally-accepted market-based measures, provided the approach dovetails with other strategies, including research and development, technological and operational innovation, and use of sustainable biofuels, as well as initiatives or projects that actually benefit the environment,” said TOI Chairman Michel Lemay. “Planet Earth has only one atmosphere, molecules can’t be held in check at the border, making this the quintessential multi-lateral file.”

Founded in 2000, the TOI is a non-profit organization of tour operators and travel companies of all sizes based in all parts of the world. Together they represent more than 50 million international travelers. With the support of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), hosting the TOI Secretariat, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), TOI member companies work together to promote best practices in sustainability and corporate responsibility.

TOI members are Accor (France), Andes Nativa (Chile), Atlas Voyages (Morocco), Aurinko Suntours (Finland), Steppes Discovery (UK), Dynamic Tours (Morocco), Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd. (Switzerland), NES Travel (Turkey), REWE-Touristik (Germany), Sahara Tours International (Morocco), Settemari (Italy), TLB Destinations (Lebanon), Transat A.T. Inc. (Canada), Travel Walji’s PVT (Pakistan) and TUI Travel plc (United Kingdom

Ritz Carlton y Hard Rock Hotel & Casino lo forma un filosofia nobo pa turismo na Aruba

Posted on 14 May 2012 by admin

ORANJESTAD-Recientemente Minister di Turismo, Transporte y Labor, Otmar Oduber papia riba e crecemento cu Aruba ta pasando aden en coneccion cu cambernan di hotel.

E mandatario a splica cu su Gobierno a hereda un situacion unda cu Aruba tabatin algo mas cu 4 mil camber cu mester a bin debi na e diferente permisonan cu a wordo otorga dor di e mandatarionan anterior. Den 2 aña y mey pueblo por mira cu e 4 mil cambernan aki no a wordo construi danki na e empeño di Minister di Infrastructura como tambe Minister di Turismo cu a logra cancela varios di e acuerdonan cu e Gobierno anterior a laga atras, mientras cu a acorda cu otronan lo bin den un lapso di tempo mas largo. Di e forma aki a evita cu nos comunidad lo a haya su mes confronta den un termino hopi cortico cu 4 mil camber adicional, algo cu sigur no ta na beneficio di desaroyo di nos isla.

Minister Oduber su vision ta pa tin un crecemento di camber mas modera y controla. Pa e motibo aki a scohe pa dos hotelnan cu ta para riba nan mes un categoria, cual ta Ritz Carlton cu lo bin Aruba na aña 2013 como tambe Hard Rock Hotel & Casino cu lo habri su portanan na aña 2014. Den un forma bon defini y midi y trahando den consulta cu ATA como tambe AHATA, Minister Oduber kier percura cu cambernan nobo no lo perhudica esunnan existente.

Minister Oduber a expresa cu Aruba continuamenten ta pasando den desaroyo pero esaki mester wordo midi den forza economico como tambe laboral, pa asina no mester importa cantidad di hende di afor pa traha.
