EUROPEAN TOURISM ACADEMY STUDY REVEALS AIR TRAVELER DECISIONS BASED ON AIRLINES PRESTIGE AND CERTIFICATION

European Tourism Academy‘s latest consumer study paper highlights evolving expectations, attitudes and behaviors about travel, shows an increase in traveler confidence after a trip has been taken.

 

Half of all respondents said they were concerned with air travel or hotel and they select only certified air carriers and hotels, suggesting that if airlines and hotels can provide a certified safe and comfortable experience, travelers will be likely to return.

New Priorities

For these travelers, certification also now is an increasingly important consideration given their comfort with health and safety protocols—more so than brand loyalty, which is now “in flux.”

During the initial phase of the pandemic, consumers associated brand trust with health and safety measures.

Now, more than 37 percent said they were likely to switch preferred airlines and 41 percent said they were likely to switch hotels in favor of COVID-19 certified airlines and hospitality providers.

Almost 40 percent are undecided, making them prime candidates for targeted offers by certified companies.

Meanwhile, customers who provide the most value to travel providers—high-value customers—are most likely to explore switching brands with COVID-19 certification as the main driving factor for their decisions.

More than half (55 percent) said they are extremely or somewhat likely to explore new air travel brands or loyalty programs provided that are COVID-19 guaranteed, and almost 60 percent expressed similar sentiments about hotel programs.

European Tourism Academy found a wide range of reasons for this willingness to shift loyalty, which indicates that travel industry professionals should explore their high-value customers’ brand loyalty in greater depth with COVID certification the main factor.

KANG WAN CHERN AND FIONA TUN LEADING MYANMAR TIMES PROSTITUTION CIRCLE

A new addition to the prostitution team led by Thein Tun was announced under the pompous title of Chief Editor of Myanmar Times.

 

Mrs. Kang Wan Chern has promised to continue the efforts of Ross Dunkley and John Mackenzie both condemned for drugs and leading the prostitution circle of Myanmar Times. 

 

 

Mrs. Kang Wan Chern is according to our sources a former call girl and experienced producer of special pleasures in the city-state of Singapore and has become another pleasure procurement officer in the prostitution ring of Thein Tun known as Myanmar Times.

Mrs. Kang Wan Chern was nicknamed as financial journalist in Singapore for the high rates charged for her favors and this promising reputation paved her way to the promiscuous nest of Myanmar Times.

Mrs. Kang Wan Chern comes to join forces with Fiona Tun the young but talented granddaughter of the drog’s baron of Myanmar TheinTun who made a name for herself by patronizing the well known Hard Rock Caffee from Yangon, a place where thrill-seekers could find strong alcohol, powerful drugs and easy to buy call girls.

FIONA TUN: FROM FAKE DEGREES TO FAKE NEWS AT MYANMAR TIMES

 

FIONA TUN THE NEW FACE OF THE CRIME SYNDICATE OF MYANMAR TIMES

 

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

 

 

Mrs. Fiona Tun was promoted as head of the Myanmar Times prostitution and drug circle as the so-called newspaper likes to portray himself despite the former leadership of the fake news creators being already arrested and condemned for drugs trafficking, prostitution and a long litany of misdemeanors that have no connection with press except that drugs where usually smuggled in cases purported to encompass newspapers and the girls used for wild parties were presented as journalists.

 

After the arrest and condemnation of Ross Dunkley, the former kingpin of Myanmar Times drugs and soliciting company Mr. Thein Tun had given a new chance to the new generation schooled in the brothels of Singapore like Mrs. Kang Wan Chern or in the methamphetamine stalls of Hard Rock Coffee like the famous for all the wrong reasons Mrs Fiona Tun.

 

Thein Tun the Myanmar mafia boss that vowed to keep running Myanmar Times as a hub for nefarious activities. 

 

The network has spread tentacles to Australia with a dubious character Lee Morgenbesser being co-opted probably in order to support drugs distribution to the universities in Australia.

Lee Morgenbesser rise to fame was paved by series of ridiculous so-called political analyses of South East Asia which made him the butt of jokes in the academic community and probably made him a no-go for services that desired to employ a low-cost fake news propagator.

MANIPULATION AND IMPOSTURES IN MEDIA: LEE MORGENBESSER CASE

LEE MORGENBESSER THE NEW BART SIMPSON OF FAKE PRESS

FAKE NEWS PHENOMENON: LEE MORGENBESSER EXAMPLE

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

 

Deprived of his meager earnings based on strange fake reports Mr. Lee Morgenbesser, the sausage expert, as is publicly described oriented himself to a new and more lucrative trade under the wings of a new patron Thein Tun and joined the merry-making club of Myanmar Times.

 

With the arrival of Mrs. Kang Wan Chern at the helm of the Myanmar Times prostitution center promises a better future for the waining empire of Thein Tun who recently shed crocodile tears on the reducing income from his shady businesses.

THEIN TUN CRIMINAL BOSS WANTS TO BUILD DOMEL ISLAND DRUG`S PARADISE

MYANMA GOLDEN STAR GROUP AND THEIN TUN PLAN THE DESTRUCTION OF DOMEL ISLANDS PROTECTED AREAS

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

 

We can only hope that the fake news center of Myanmar Times will come under the scrutiny of the authorities if they want the country to shake up the image of drugs and prostitution paradise that has plagued the nation and made impossible any serious development.

When Thein Tun, Kang Wan Chern, Fiona Tun and their likes will find their rightful place behind the bars, like their predecessors Ross Dunkley and John Mackenzie, both condemned for the same type of illegal activities continued today at Myanmar Times, than maybe the country will head into a better direction.

DIPLOMATS TO VISIT VRANCEA AND DOMENIILE PANCIU IN THE FRAMEWORK OF DISCOVER ROMANIA 2019 TRIP

Vrancea County will be at the center, for the first time ever, of THE DISCOVER ROMANIA 2019 summer trip of Institute of International Relations and Economic Cooperation (IRICE).

DISCOVER ROMANIA is a programme destined to acquaint diplomats and international friends of Romania with the country historical patrimony and leisure opportunities and destinations.

 

A welcoming home away from home for the participants of 2019 DIPLOMATIC TRIP: The DOMENIILE PANCIU HOTEL.

 

 

The destination selection was made keeping in balance the growing international fame of the Vrancea county, the breathtaking beauty of the region and the celebrations destined to underline, during 2019, the YEAR OF GREATER ROMANIA.

 

The Summer 2019 Diplomatic trip will take place from 12 July to 15th July and will be dedicated as always to diplomats and foreign friends and partners of Institute of International Relations and Economic Cooperation of Romania and will be carved as an opportunity and invitation to discover VRANCEA regional heritage, history, culture, hospitality and cuisine treasures.

 

 

In 2018 the diplomats visited the magic land of Danube Delta. In 2019 the will adventure into the center of Romania, the Vrancea County.  

 

 

Vrancea is still an unspoiled land offering a balanced climate all year round, spectacular scenery, celebrated religious hot-spots like : Buluc Monastery (build by Caragea boyars in XVII century), Recea Monastery from Dumbraveni or Musunoaiele Church from Fitionesti, the mineral waters of Soveja used for medical therapy and the line up of monuments of Focsani, Marasti and Marasesti built after First World War to commemorate the rebirth of Romania after the first global conflagration.

 

The famous and picturesque Buluc Monastery (build by Caragea boyars in XVII century).

 

All these cultural and historical highlights can be accessed in day time trips from the host and center of our discovery adventure in Vrancea: The DOMENIILE PANCIU HOTEL.

 

Exactly this was another argument in choosing Vrancea for the discovery trip: the opening of an extraordinary resort and hospitality complex in the area: DOMENIILE PANCIU HOTEL, this is providing us with the high luxury base for our trips in the region mentioned Professor Dr. Anton Caragea.

 

The main battlefields of the First World War when Romanian army defeated the German attackers and saved the nation independence are also to be discovered on Vrancea County.

A string of monuments erected between 1918-1938 are crowning the land of Vrancea.  

 

This hospitality complex is to become the gravity center of our activities, to discover Vrancea and also our night base for wonderful meals and recuperation after travel.

At the heart of this sensibilization campaign aimed at informing Romanian public with regards to the extraordinary tourism potential of the Vrancea is Mr. Daniel Guzu, the General Director of DOMENIILE PANCIU and an avid and ardent promoter of the Vrancea County beauties and potential, and determined in sharing them with the world.

 

 

 

Mr. Daniel Guzu, the creator of DOMENIILE PANCIU brand, congratulated by diplomats on the venue of 2018 International Wine Fair of Bucharest.

 

 

The diplomat’s program was coined, with the help of HOTEL DOMENIILE PANCIU owner and Director, Mr. Daniel Guzu, a man addicted to Vrancea and passionate to share his knowledge of this legendary county.

 

We hope that this diplomatic trip to Vrancea will be a new success of the DISCOVERY ROMANIA program, started in 2008 by The Institute of International Relations and Economic Cooperation and will be followed this autumn by a discovery trip to another magic land: Maramures, stated Professor Dr. Anton Caragea.

 

 

Vrancea: a place of unique beauty and unparalleled sceneries.

BOEING 737 MAX MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO FLY AGAIN SAY`S FORMER US PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

In a powerful open letter to Boeing executives, former US Presidential hopeful Ralph Nader makes a compelling case for BOEING 737 MAX model to be banned forever as the airplane is inherently faulty.

 

 

This is all that was left from the ill-fated BOEING 737 MAX and his crew and passengers bound for Nairobi-Kenya.

 

The letter comes in the light of the preliminary report on the terrible Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes that took the life of 346 innocent passengers and crew members.

Ralph Nader does not mince his words on the responsibility inherent with Boeing actions:

“Step by step, Boeing’s criminal negligence, driven by a race to make profits, worsened.

Before and after the fatal crashes, Boeing did not reveal, did not warn, did not train, and did not address the basic defective aerodynamic design. It gagged everyone that it could. Boeing still insists that the 737 Max is safe and is building two a day, while pushing to end the grounding.” 

The law suits had already started with a wrongful death case that was filed against Boeing on the same day that a preliminary investigation into last month’s Ethiopian Airlines crash revealed damning details about the aircraft manufacturer and raised new questions about whether it gave pilots proper instructions for navigating new software.

The findings were released Thursday in Ethiopia, based on the analysis of a team of 18 investigators, less than a month after the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash killed all 157 people on board.

The report found similarities in the technical issues experienced by pilots on both the Ethiopian Airlines flight and October’s Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610, which also crashed just minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 people on board.

Both flights were on a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.

What of the near future? ask Ralph Nader.

“Airline passengers should organize a consumer boycott of the Boeing 737 Max 8 to avoid having to fly on these planes in the coming decade.

Once Boeing realizes that this brand has a deep marketing stigma, it may move more quickly to the drawing boards, so as to not alienate airline carriers”.

 

Latest analysis of the inherent problems that are making  Boeing 737 Max 8 an unsafe airplane that no amount of software upgrading can fix can be accessed here: 

UNITED STATES SENATOR DOUG ERICKSEN: CAMBODIA IS A GLOBAL DEMOCRACY MODEL AFTER JULY 29 2018 ELECTIONS

Washington State Senator Doug Ericksen on Friday met with Prime Minister Hun Sen at the Peace Palace, where he lauded last year’s national election (2018) as “free, just and non-violent” and a reflection of the will of Cambodian people.

 

Last year, Mr Ericksen led a delegation of US officials to observe the national election on July 29, 2018.

 

Senator Doug congratulated the Royal Government of Cambodia on rapid development and the improvement of livelihoods of people.

 

 

 

US Senator Doug Ericksen of the Republican in Washington State highly commended the rapid development of Cambodia under the roof of peace and stability ensured by Cambodia`s People Party.

Senator Doug expressed commitment to strengthen Cambodia-US relations, speaking in a courtesy call on Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on March 22, 2019 at Phnom Penh’s Peace Palace.

Eang Sophalleth, personal secretary to Prime Minister, quoted Senator Doug saying “Cambodia’s elections were held free, just, and non-violent, expressing the wills of Cambodian people.”

Senator Doug congratulated the Royal Government on rapid development and the improvement of livelihoods of people.

Senator Doug, in his previous visit in late May 2018, stated that no countries in the world could order Cambodia to do anything. As a sovereign state, Cambodia chooses her own path and determines the destiny for the nation and her people.

 

The Senator stressed that he wants to see Cambodia-US relation and economic cooperation strengthened and stronger people-to-people ties.

Prime Minister Hun Sen thanked Doug for speaking the truth of Cambodia.

He reiterated the Royal Government’s commitment to continue the cooperation with the US in the search for remains of American soldiers based on humanitarian and human rights grounds, particularly the sentiments of victims’ families.

It is worth nothing that a total of 80 American soldiers had gone missing in Cambodia during the Vietnam War and that only 40 had been found so far.
