As hotels and other lodging property owners are battling everyday to attract new visitors to their property. As the travel industry slows down, it is forcing lodging owners/managers to locate and find a place to increase revenue.

The best thing about adding your hotel to a private directory is that you will be tapping into a market that you might not otherwise tapped into. With 122964 Hotels And Motels Companies in the United States, and that is not including international hotels.

First they will have to approve your property and listing. Once they approve your listing you can literally be viewed by millions of members instantly. Keep in mind these types of members are business or leisure travelers that will help fill your empty rooms or vacancies.

Add your property to these types of programs will allow you to increase your revenue without any additional marketing on your part. Simply list your hotel free of charge in the private directory and when a member calls you for reservations, you simply give them a discount that is greater than what the public can receive.

Hotels Etc. happens to be the world’s largest and only lifetime travel and entertainment discount club. Launching in 1996 to help hotel owners increase their revenue without any extra expense out of their pocket. Let’s face it, the lodging industry is the most perishable industry in the world. If you do not rent that room out tonight, you can’t rent it out tomorrow and make up for tonight. It does not work that way.

Keep in mind, these programs do not make your discounts available to the public, they are only available to registered members and are typically behind locked doors. Members will be required to call your hotel direct and make reservations via your reservation center.

If you have a system that allows you to generate a promo code, discount code, or a special code, then you can provide a direct link to your site for members to make discounted reservations. The most important thing to remember is that you need to inform your entire staff that you are participating in the program. Companies such as Hotels Etc. are very picky about hotels and property owners pushing away members. They take a lot of pride in offering an incredible service to members.

Twitter has become a world wide phenomenon now used by millions of people. Twitter is a free online social networking tool that allows users to post short 140-character updates to the Web for their ‘followers’ to read. As well, the site also allows users to ‘follow’ other people. This popular micro-blogging site has become a handy tool for world travelers. If you are planning on using Twitter while traveling, below are a number of useful tips to make the Twitter experience more worthwhile:

1. Before you book your vacation, follow some travel experts and travel groups from the area where you will be traveling. They will usually tweet areas of interest, information about events and attractions in the area, and special discounts being offered. You can also ask them questions. As well, following travel agencies and airlines will allow you to take advantage of late breaking deals and participate in promotion deals. It is essential to follow tweeters that best suit your travel plans. For instance, JetBlue has almost 500,000 followers to date and they often send out their latest deals information. You can ensure that you don’t miss out on special deals by setting up Twitter feeds. This can be done by clicking on ‘RSS feed updates’ on the profile page of the Tweeter you want to follow.

2. Twitter is a great way to find discounts on local hotels, restaurants, and other events and attractions. Consider following local establishments, hotels, and resorts, tourist bureaus, and more in the vacation destination for updates about latest deals and bargains. More businesses are now using Twitter to advertise their deals and promotions.

3. A helpful tool for Twitter users is an application known as TweetDeck. This application acts much like a personal browser which will display messages from preferred tweeters that is located in easy to navigate columns that organize the content according to the user’s personal preferences.

4. Twitter search is a helpful tool that has an easy to use search box that displays related results from the site. For instance, when using this tool to monitor your flight, you can arrange for all related real-time tweets posted on the site that can include the airline, airport, or other travelers.

5. There are travelers that are using people on Twitter to help them plan their vacation instead of using a travel guide book. For instance, as they travel, they will pose such questions as where is a good place to stay. Where is a good place to eat? Where is a good place to have a cup of coffee? Where is the best beach? Twitter can be very helpful if you are looking for recommendations.

Twitter is a social networking site that is fast becoming an indispensable tool for travelers as well as the travel industry. Because tweeting is limited to just 140 characters, the information sent out is just the facts with no fluff. Twitter is now also the fastest way to communicate with other travelers and travel industry. If you have not jumped on the Twitter bandwagon, it may be time to join and start enjoying the travel tweets.

A recent survey by the Pew Organization revealed that 30% of Americans now own a laptop computer. These laptop owners have been set free to take their work and/or internet browsing capabilities with them when they are on the go. Carrying a laptop under arm is not a good idea, so finding a suitable way to transport it safely and comfortably is a very important decision. With so many laptop carrying cases available today, what features are most important when selecting a computer case?

In this article, you will discover four key things to consider when looking for a laptop carrying case. You will most likely want to consider other features that are unique to your style and personality. However, the considerations outlined in this article are those that everyone needs to think about.

Your first consideration must be the protection of your investment. You have, no doubt, purchased your notebook because it allows you a high degree of mobility. You are not tied to a desktop PC. So, when you are on the go, your notebook is exposed to lots of knocks and bumps. Sometimes, these knocks and bumps are intense enough to cause serious damage either to the case or to the electronic components.

Therefore, you must determine whether the case you are thinking about is constructed of material that can protect your computer: Is there sufficient padding to withstand the blows it will inevitably take in a hustle and bustle world. Size is a factor here too. A case that is too small can expose your laptop to danger. Be sure your computer will fit comfortably into the case.

Next, you need to consider how much extra storage space you will need. Not all laptop carrying cases have the same amount of storage for extra gear. Buying a case too quickly can lead to disappointment if it does not have enough pockets for your wireless gear, electronic equipment, and files. Planning ahead always pays good dividends.

Next, you will want to consider whether or not a particular carrying case is comfortable. Does the laptop backpack fit comfortably so you have freedom of movement or do the straps restrict your movement? Does the computer briefcase have a shoulder strap to free your hand? If the bag is not comfortable, you will tire easily from carrying a loaded case.

Finally, you need to think about the style of your laptop carrying case. You will want the style of your computer case to reflect both your personality and the environment in which you will use your laptop. Generally, students live and work in a more casual environment than professionals. So a laptop backpack is a very common choice for them. On the other hand, professionals live and work in more formal settings, so the professional look and feel of a briefcase computer bag is most often their bag of choice. So when choosing your carrying case, take into account your own personality and the environment in which you will be using your notebook computer.

Giving careful thought to these suggestions when choosing a laptop carrying case will go a long way toward assuring that you will make the right choice. Your careful thought will be rewarded with feelings of satisfaction once you make your decision.

Many of the “facts” in this story are based on Legend and Myth as much of the history of the Motorcycle and it’s Culture was lost in the Great Rebellion of 2057.

Taken from a history book in the year 2095… Motorcycles And The Culture They Inspire 1868-2017

Motorcycles started out as steam engines strapped on to bicycles in 1868. Soon after the gas engine took its place and by the 1900’s there were Motorcycle shops and Dealers all over the World. For awhile, Motorcycle’s were simply used as transportation. In 1907, when Henry Fords, Ford Motor Company, released the Model-T at a price many could afford, the Motorcycle soon went from a necessity to a luxury item.

In the 1940’s, the Motorcycle Culture really took off. An organization called the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) held races and events all over the United States of America. In 1947 the AMA held an event in Hollister California. This event was attended by many of the AMA Racing Teams and Motorcycle Clubs. This event marks the beginning of the separation of Motorcyclists which eventually led to the end of Motorcycling in the year 2017. Newspapers, being what they where in 1947, got a hold of some pictures of Motorcyclists having fun at the event. The press decided to embellish the facts and transformed the story into a torrid tale of Bikers taking over a small town! More negative news stories soon followed. Soon after Hollywood began releasing movies that portrayed Motorcyclists as lawless and evil.

The American Motorcyclist Association, trying to end the bad press, responded by basically saying that the Newspapers had lied and that it was only 1% of the Motorcyclists that caused problems. This resulted in the first ripple in the Unity of the Motorcycle World and the Medias’ hatred of Bikers. Around the same time, the AMA began adding new requirements for motorcycles to be able to race in AMA sanctioned Races. Those whose motorcycles didn’t meet the new AMA requirements started their own Race Leagues. Because the new Race Leagues/Clubs were not AMA sanctioned, they soon became known as Outlaw Race Leagues/Clubs. Although many Bikers raced in both the AMA and Outlaw Leagues, another great separation had begun.

By the late 1960’s, the separation of the Motorcycle Community was becoming more evident. There were now three basic Motorcycle groups. The American Motorcycle Association, Outlaw/ 1%er Clubs(All 1%ers were Outlaws, but not all Outlaws were considered 1%ers) and Independent Riders. Over the years, the AMA continued to grow. In addition to racing, they began to champion Motorcycle Rights and Safety. As time went on, others formed independent groups whose goals were similar to that of the AMA. The inability or outright refusal of these groups to work together with each other, resulted in further separation of the Motorcycle Community and Culture.

In the 1970’s, rifts began to grow between some of the Outlaw/1% Clubs. By the 1990’s, the media had inflated these conflicts into stories that rivaled the tall tales of the old west. These tall tales where ment to invoked fear of the Outlaw/1% Clubs in the public. Everyone was lied to,. They were told to stay away from and fear all Outlaw/1% Clubs. The media began referring to Motorcycle Clubs as Motorcycle Gangs, a term meant to further instill fear into the heart of the Public. Stories and rumors began surfacing, claiming these “Gangs” were ruthless and would kill or maim people for little or no reason at all. By the early 21st Century, every minor conflict between Outlaw/1% Clubs was made into a book, made for TV movie, or docudrama. Titles like “Motorcycle Gang Wars In Your Back Yard” were common. Although real wars, conflicts, and suffering were occurring worldwide, the Corporate owned media chose to report fiction over fact.

In 2009, a conflict between two rival Clubs was captured on Video at a “Biker Build Off” event. The coverage by the media and negative publicity that followed was so overwhelming that in 2010, the United States Government passed a law banning all Outlaw/1% Clubs. In response, the Outlaw/1% Clubs put aside their differences and formed “Bikers United”. The Bikers fought back stating the law was unconstitutional and un-American. Even as late as 2010, Many Americans still clung to the misguided belief that they had rights and lived in a free Nation. The Bikers fought hard and came very close to winning, but without the support of the Motorcycle Rights Groups,The many other Clubs, and the Independent Riders, all of whom had been brainwashed into believing the Outlaw Clubs were criminal organizations, they were defeated.

Many of the Outlaw/1% Clubs tried to stay together. The Clubs went underground, but after many raids and constant Government harassment, they all but disappeared. In 2013, in an effort to ensure that the Outlaw/1% Clubs never returned, the Government decided to outlaw all Motorcycle Clubs and organizations. The AMA, the many Clubs and Motorcycle Rights Organizations United in an effort to battle the Governments oppression. They tried to use many of the same tactics and strategies that the Outlaw/1% Clubs used. Unfortunately, the Government was much smarter and stronger this time around. They had learned many lessons in their fierce battles with the Outlaw/1% Clubs, and they used what they had learned against the united Clubs and Organizations. With no Outlaw/1% Clubs left to assist them and without the support of the Independent Riders, the United Clubs and Organizations were defeated.

In 2015, the Government passed a law that made it illegal to even look like an Outlaw on a Motorcycle. The Independent Riders banned together to try and fight the law, but by this time their numbers were few and there wasn’t anyone left to show them how to fight for their rights. After a brief protest, they too were soundly defeated. In 2017, What was now a “Global Government”, in its infinite wisdom, decided that Motorcycles posed a danger to the public. They passed a law banning the manufacturing of Motorcycle’s and their use! They ordered that all existing Motorcyclesbe destroyed. This brought to an end, the History of Motorcycles. It would take until the year 2093 before anything even close to resembling a Motorcycle reappeared.

As a Historian looking back at the History of Motorcycles and the Culture it created, it amazes me how powerful the Motorcycle Culture could have been had they not let every little thing separate them. Instead of embracing something they all had in common and working together to protect it, they instead let their differences, the media, and the government divide them. By the time the Bikers realized how much they were connected and needed each other, it was too late. Their numbers were certainly sufficient to achieve victory, but their failure to come together as Brothers and Sisters and work for the common good ultimately caused their demise. Had they been victorious, it may have been enough to stop all of the oppression and tyranny that soon followed. History is full of stories just like this one, over and over again. The ones who love and honor Freedom the most are taken down first and the rest soon fall like dominoes. Until the Great Rebellion of 2057, we as a Global Society did not realize how important it was to put aside our differences. It may have taken awhile, but we finally figured it out…Just in time!
