ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y., Feb 05, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Kahn Travel Communications and its founder, long-time journalist and marketing executive Richard S. Kahn, has launched
www.CaribbeanVacationNews.com, a website to provide news, deals and editorial features about the Caribbean region to assist people in making vacation choices.
An independent news and information site written by news reporters and travel journalists,
www.CaribbeanVacationNews.com is designed to help consumers find the best vacation opportunities by reporting on what's new in the tropics.
The website launched with a Subscription Sweepstakes providing a chance for consumers to win a 7-day, 6-night all-inclusive vacation for two adults at one of Sandals Resorts in Jamaica with air transportation on Air Jamaica.
"We want consumers to use this site as a guide to learn about new hotels, vacation packages, great deals, restaurants and attractions and then follow the links to either those products or the destination connections for more information," said Kahn, who personally manages the site.
"This site will not contain detailed information about every destination and hotel in the region; that would just duplicate what is already available elsewhere," Kahn points out, adding: "Rather, we will update the news regularly so that the site remains fresh as well as provide vacation deals as they become available."
Kahn's newly unveiled blog on the site allows him to communicate with visitors about personal Caribbean vacation experiences plus provide insight into what is really happening "behind the scenes" in the Caribbean.
Sections on the site include:
-- "Articles" written by independent, seasoned travel writers who know the
"ins and outs" of the Caribbean.
-- "Destinations" featuring snapshots of the islands which link directly
to the official website of each destination.
-- "Hotels & Resorts" for regular updates about new hotels or new
facilities and amenities at existing hotels and resorts.
-- "Attractions" featuring new sightseeing and other facilities.
-- "Dining" where consumers can read about some of the newest restaurants
in the region as well as enjoy feature articles on other gastronomic
pleasures. Kahn also has a close relationship with many chefs as a
result of his involvement in founding the Caribbean Culinary Federation
more than a dozen years ago so the site will include recipes from
numerous Caribbean chefs.
-- "Packages" providing the latest offerings from hotels, airlines, cruise
lines, tour operators and the destinations themselves along with
special deals that may be available for a limited time. The "Deals"
listed on the home page also link directly to the "Packages" section
highlighting some of the more spectacular offerings for the month.
There will be regular sweepstakes giveaways on the site in which consumers will be able to win hotel stays as well as complete vacation packages in random drawings from among visitors who subscribe to the monthly newsletter.
