Business Solution Gives Back Through Sponsorship.

Austin, TX, October 01, 2008 -- Proformance Sports Marketing and Entertainment introduces Cheer Travel Rewards (CTR), a travel booking engine for the spirit industry to bring discounted, accessible housing, flights, car and family activities to cheer and dance participants and their families at a cost they are more likely to be able to afford.

Luxury Travel Caters to the Spirit of Adventure

Adventure Luxury Travel Caters to the Spirit of Adventure

www.AdventureLuxuryTravel.com opens its doors as an adventure travel agency, providing exciting trips to exotic locales for active, adventuresome globetrotters.

East Longmeadow, MA  -  April 23 -- Jonathan Haraty recently opened www.AdventureLuxuryTravel.com for travelers who are looking to do more than just see the sights on their next vacation. "I have been in the travel business for five years, starting with selling only cruises," explains Jonathan. "From working with many cruise clients and taking specialist courses, I found there was a need for an agency that provides high-end adventure travel. Thus, Adventure Luxury Travel was born."

Adventure Luxury Travel caters to clients searching for the exotic and the exciting, providing scenic destinations with more than an even share of thrills to offer. "I found that many of my clients are looking for an agent that can provide them with hard adventure," says Jonathan, "like river rafting in Colombia, bungee jumping and green hunts in South Africa, or soft adventure like trekking Borneo, shark cage diving and snorkeling in South Africa, safari in Tanzania, or just laying out on the beach in Fiji -- but at the end of the day, returning to four or five-star luxury accommodations, even in the bush. These are the unique itineraries I provide my clients."

Adventure Luxury Travel is constantly adding new itineraries as more unique adventures are found, as is his sister site, www.JonsDiveTravel.com, which focuses mainly on scuba diving and contemporary cruises. "Almost all of the trips you see featured on my website have been designed by myself working with my suppliers in response to a particular client request. I then have found them to be popular enough with other clients that they wind up being featured on the website. This is particularly true of what have know become a section of the website for Honeymooners. This section has a great South African itinerary that includes a trip to Table Mountain in Cape Town, a tour of the wine country, a shark cage dive or snorkel, a safari at two different camps for perspective, and several days at Victoria Falls for a half day elephant back safari and a tour of the Falls by boat. All this with luxury accommodations every night. You just can't beat that."

In addition to providing unique vacation opportunities for daredevils and explorers, Jonathan has also begun a blog at www.AdventureLuxuryTravel.net where he can discuss these destinations with his customers. "My blog is going to focus on the specific areas I service with a passion," he explains. "Those areas will be luxury travel to new and exciting destinations, adventure travel and where the best areas are for a particular adventure while avoiding the large tourist crowds. I would also like to discuss the benefits and value in using and supporting the local suppliers of unique itineraries as they can provide an in depth insight into the areas you are traveling to and provide divers and guides that are highly qualified and knowledgeable. I want to stress that we are all about designing unique itineraries for our clients just about anywhere in the world, as I have personal supplier contacts in many out of the way countries that are just a blip on the radar screen but that will be major tourist attractions in the near future. Interested readers should contact me for information on these areas if they are looking for something new or thrilling."

Using Rebtel Direct, calls from Beijing and Hong Kong to the U.S. and Canada, for example, cost less than 2¢ per minute whether you're calling a landline or mobile phone. By comparison, the same calls on China Mobile will cost $1.16 per minute.

"But if you think Rebtel Direct rates are still too expensive you can use our Smart Call system and make that same calls for free," said Hjalmar Winbladh, Rebtel's co-founder and CEO.

Olympics Ticket Scams Continues

Investigation of Olympics Ticket Scams Continues, According to the Moriarty Leyendecker Erben Law Firm

HOUSTON & BOULDER, Colo.-- August 03, 2008 --An ongoing investigation of Olympics ticket scams has identified defrauded consumers throughout the world, according to the law firm of Moriarty Leyendecker Erben.

The law firm - whose senior partner, Jim Moriarty, was himself victimized by an official-looking ticket web site - has been contacted by individuals in several nations since the firm launched a web site (www.beijingticketscam.com) on Saturday to support the investigation.

"The consumer response to the investigation is extraordinary," Moriarty said. "Our team is reviewing longer-term litigation options, but with the opening ceremonies for the Games just a few days away, we're also trying to help these individuals salvage their Olympics trips. Their stories are heartbreaking. We've even heard from families of Olympians whose dreams to see their loved ones compete in China are at risk."

The International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic Committee recently filed lawsuits in U.S. federal courts against operators of two web sites, alleging that they are using committee trademarks to deceive and defraud the public. The lawsuits do not seek to recover losses for defrauded consumers.

Moriarty said, "We believe the Olympic committees should have addressed this problem months ago, when consumer complaints first arose - not last week after the deadline for legitimate ticket holders to transfer Olympics tickets passed. That policy only compounds the problems of the victimized consumers who still hope to attend the Games."

For more information about the law firm's investigation, contact: Moriarty Leyendecker Erben, Attorneys at Law, www.beijingticketscam.com, 800-677-7095 or 713-528-0700; Houston Office: 1150 Bissonnet, Houston, Texas 77005; Boulder Office: 1123 Spruce Street, Boulder, Co 80302.
