Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Estrellas by Claudia Sonea

Hay una infinita necesidad de competir por algo a partir del momento cuando nacemos hasta nuestra muerte. Esta necesidad está presente en todo y es beneficiosa porque ayuda a establecer altas normas. Que atrae mi atención es la necesidad de la competición en gastronomía y hoteles. El libro The Michelin Red Guide book es el que establece las normas desde 1926 en gastronomía y hoteles por ofreciendo estrellas.
Durante el próximo año la guía presenta Las Vegas. Ofrecieron cinco estrellas rojas al hotel Las Vegas Wynn y sólo otros ocho hoteles en toda la Norteamérica pueden estar orgullosos de poseer el mismo número, mientras Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Palazzo, Trump International Hotel & Tower y Ritz-Carlton en Lake Las Vegas recibieron cuatro estrellas.
Los criterios que la guía estableció en los 32 hotes catalogizados era la limpieza, el servicio general y la comodidad. Para aparecer en su lista hay que tener normas estandard para la limpieza, la seguridad y la fiabilidad.
En la versión de Michelin Red Guide de Las Vegas también fue presentados 140 restaurantes. El top restaurante que recibió tres estrellas era él de Joel Robuchon, MGM Grand hotel. Alex en Las Vegas Wynn, Guy Savoy en Caesars Palace y Picasso en Bellagio recibieron dos estrellas y otro 13 restaurante consiguieron una estrella. Los premios eran por las comidas y nada más. Todos otros factores como la limpieza fueron clasificados de manera diferente.
Deberíais saber que los propietarios de los restaurantes o los hoteles no tienen ni idea quei es el inspector de Michelin; todos viajan incógnito como clientes regulares. Así, tened cuidado, porque su siguiente cliente podría estar allí para inspeccionaros y al día siguiente podríais conseguir una estrella y hacerse muy famoso.

There is the endless need to compete for something from the moment we are born until we die. This need is present in everything and it is beneficial because it establishes high standards. What gets my attention is the need of competition in cooking and hotels. The Michelin Red Guide book is the one giving the norm since 1926 in cooking and hotels by offering stars.
For next year the guide is presenting Las Vegas. Five red pavilions were offered to Las Vegas Wynn hotel and only other eight hotels in all North America can be proud to possess the same number, while Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Palazzo, Trump International Hotel & Tower and Ritz-Carlton on Lake Las Vegas received four pavilions. What the guide took in consideration in presenting the 32 hotels listed in was cleanliness, overall service and comfort. In order to appear on its list you had to have base standards for cleanliness, safety and reliability.
In Las Vegas version of the Michelin Red Guide was also presented 140 restaurants. The top restaurant that received three stars was that of Joel Robuchon, MGM Grand hotel. Alex at Wynn Las Vegas, Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace and Picasso at Bellagio received two stars and 13 other restaurant got one star. The awards were for the food and nothing else. All other factors like cleanliness were categorized differently.
You should know that there is no way for the owner of a restaurant or a hotel to know who is an inspector for Michelin; they all travel incognito as regular customers. So, be careful, because your next client might just be there to check you out and the next day you might get a star and become worldwide famous.

Exista o nevoie nesfarsita de a concura pentru ceva din momentul in care venim pe lume si pana cand ne luam adio de la ea. Aceasta nevoie e in tot ceea ce facem prezenta si e benefica pentru ca stabileste standarde inalte. Ceea ce mi-a atras atentia este faptul ca nevoia de competitie in domeniul culinary si hotelier. Ghidul Rosu Michelin cel care stabileste norma inca din 1926 in haute cuisine si hoteluri oferind stele.
Pentru anul viitor ghidul va prezenta Las Vegasul. Cinci pavilioane rosii au fost accordate hotelului Wynn si de acelasi numar se bucura numai inca 8 alte hotele in toata America de Nord, in vreme ce Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Palazzo, Trump International Hotel & Tower si Ritz-Carlton de pe Lake Las Vegas au primit doar 4 pavilioane rosii. Standardele dupa care au fost analizate cele 32 de hotele prezentate in ghid au fost curatenia, servirea per total si comfortul. Pentru a aparea in ghid trebuia sa indeplinesti cerintele minime pentru curatenie, stabilitate si siguranta.
In versiunea Las Vegas a Ghidului Rosu Michelin Red Guide au fost prezentate si 140 de restaurante. Cel mai bun restaurant care a primit 3 stele a fost cel al lui Joel Robuchon apartinand hotelului MGM Grand Hotel. Alex de la Wynn Las Vegas, Guy Savoy de la Caesars Palace si Picasso de la Bellagio au primit doua stele, iar 13 alte hotele au primit doar una. Stele au fost acordate doar pentru mancare si nimic altceva. Orice altceva precum curatenia a intrat in alta categorie.
Ar trebui sa stiti ca nu e nici o modalitate ca proprietarii de hotele sau restaurante sa stie cand le vin inspectorii de la Michelin, ei calatorind incognito drept clienti obisnuiti. Asadar, fiti atenti nu se stie niciodata cand intra la voi un inspector si va treziti dupa cu o stea si faima la nivel mondial.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Avion ili avtobus, što ke bide?

SAD postojano se obiduva da se vrati vo normala posle krizite so cenite na naftata koi se proširija kako čuma zarazuvajki ja celata ekonomija. Kongresot odobri plan vreden 700 bilioni dolari da se spasat, no sepak sé ušte ima nekoi raboti koi treba da bidat implementirani, vo meguvreme site industrii se obiduvaat da ne potonat.
Aviokompaniite se obiduvaat da se snajdat nekako so začinetite ceni koi treba da gi plakaat za gorivo,no povisokite ceni gi odvlekoa patnicite i situacijata samo se vlošuva. Kako alternativa za porastot na cenite tie smislija da napravat dogovor so onie koi imaat potreba od reklami. Ništo novo, ke kažete, no razlikata e deka ako dosega imaše samo reklami vo avionot, tie mislat da gi pretstavat na nadvorešnosta na avionot i bilo kade samo ako toa im donese ekstra prihod. Vo Evropa mnogu od aviokompaniite veke koristea takvi reklami, no vo SAD aviokompaniite ne se tolku samouvereni i imaat duri ideja da gi pretvorat avionite vo avtobus.
Momentalno može da najdete reklami na dnoto od sigurnosnite kopčinja, televiziskite ekrani vo avionot, na salfetite, pijalocite i magazinite. Goleminata i demografijata na prenositelot može da vlijaat na kvantitetot na pari koi može da gi dobie edna kompanija so reklamiranje, no toa e dolgoročen trend. Problemot koj ostanuva e dali cenata na gorivoto može vsušnost da se kompenzira so prihodot od reklamite. Za sega, tie može samo da se nadevaat da im pomognat da ja pominat ekonomskata kriza koja se čini deka e najlošata posle Golemata depresija.

Loyalty Programs by Claudia Sonea

Airlines had the balance sheet of frequent-flier awards this year too and what do you now it was up 21 percent from last year. Normally it shouldn’t surprise anyone taking in consideration that anything that is for free is very appealing. Yet, this is not the case because airlines are trying to add tougher rules for these awards as a bonus to higher fares.
Up to now the number of miles could bring you a free trip to some exotic destination like Hawaii or anywhere else you want. Due to the economic crisis and the high fares people started to focus more on spending the extra mileage on emergency trips and visiting relatives. They prefer being loyal to an airline that has a better redemption program, but that it is very difficult to find in the context that most of them have been raising mileage requirements, shortened expiration periods and added fees if you want to cash them in. For instance, Delta increased the number of miles required for a free trip and added a fuel surcharge on reward tickets two months ago.
The main reason for the percentage going up is that the programs still seem appealing because of the business trips and also because there is still the slight chance of actually getting something for free. Continental, a major U.S. airline, has the OnePass loyalty program giving the customers to use mileage to book available seats on partner airlines and also give them the possibility to compare routes and the miles it will cost them. It is beneficial both for customers and for airliners because for the first is a way to avoid the fares and for the others is money.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Program de loialitate by Claudia Sonea

Companiile de zbor au facut bilantul la tichetele premiu si anul acesta si ce credeti au crescut cu 21 la suta. In mod normal nu ar trebui sa suprinda pe nimeni acest lucru tinand cont de faptul ca orice este gratuit pare a fascina pe oameni. Totusi nu e si cazul acesta pentru ca liniile aeriene incearca sa introduca reguli mai dure la aceste tichete premiu ca bonus la preturile ridicate de la bilete.
Pana acum numarul de mile parcurse putea sa-ti aduca o excursie gratuita spre locuri exotice precum Hawai sau oriunde altundeva ai dori, insa criza economiza si pretul ridicat la bilete a constrans oamenii sa isi cheltuiasca milele extra mai degraba pe calatorii de urgenta sau vizite la rude. Ei prefera sa fie loiali companiei de zbor cu cel mai bun program de rascumparare, dar e foarte dificil in conditiile in care cele mai multe dintre ele au ridicat necesarul de mile, au scurtat perioada de expirare si au adaugat taxe in cazul in care va ganditi sa le incasati. De exemplu, Delta a crescut numarul de mile necesare pentru o calatorie gratuita si au adaugat o taxa de carburant pe tichetele premiu acum doua luni.
Principalul motiv pentru care procentajul a crescut este faptul ca aceste tichete par atragatoare oameniilor de afaceri si celorlalti le dau speranta obtinerii de ceva gratuit. Continental, o companie de zbor majora din SUA, are programul de loialitate OnePass ce da posibilitatea cheltuirii milelor extra la alte companii aeriene precum si compararea de rute si de cate mile necesita. E benefic pentru toata lumea, clientii primind ceva gratis, iar liniile aeriene bani.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Plane or bus, what will it be? by Claudia Sonea

The USA is still struggling to come back after the soaring oil price has spread like a plague infecting all its economy. The Congress approved the $700 billion bailout plan, but there are still some matters to be solved before it can be implemented, meantime all industries are trying to keep themselves afloat.
The airlines are trying to cope with the spicy price they have to pay for the fuel, but the higher prices have drifted away the passengers and the situation is worsening. As an alternative to the increases of fares they came up with deals with advertisers. Nothing new, you would say, but the difference is that if up to now there was only onboard advertisements, they are thinking to introduce them on a plane's overhead bin and even elsewhere if it brings them revenue. In Europe many airlines already use such types of advertisements, but in US airlines were reluctant and some still are to the idea of turning the airplane in a bus.
Currently you can find advertisements on the bottoms of security bins, in-flight television screens and boarding, napkins, beverages and magazines. A carrier's fleet size and demographics can influence the quantity of money an airline can get from advertisement, but it is a long-term trend. The problem remaining is whether the fuel price can actually be compensated by advertisement revenue. For now, they can only hope to help them get through this economic crisis which is considered to be the worse since the Great Depression.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Avion sau autobuz, ce va fi? by Claudia Sonea

SUA inca se zbate sa isi revina dupa ce cresterea rapida a pretului la carburanti s-a raspandit ca o plaga in toate ramurile economiei. Copngresul a aprobat planul de salvare de 700 de miliarde de dolari, dar mai sunt inca niste chestiuni de pus la punct inainte de a fi implementat, intre timp toate industriile incearca sa se mentina pe linia de plutire.
Liniile aeriene incearca sa se descurce cu preturile piperate la carburanti pe care trebuie sa le plateasca, dar preturile ridicate la bilete nu au facut decat sa indeparteze pasagerii si situatia se inrautateste. Ca o alternativa la cresterea pretului biletelor, ei au venit cu posibile contracte cu companiile de publicitate. Pana acum nimic nou, ati spune, diferenta consta insa in faptul ca le vor introduce pe exteriorul avioanelor si chiar si in alte parti daca asta le va aduce venit. In Europa multe companii de zboruri folossc deja o astfel de publicitate, dar in SUA au fost reticente deoarece nu vroiau ca aviaonele sa arate ca niste autobuze.
In present se pot gasi reclame pe fundul truselor de securitate, la televiziunea de la bordul avionului si de pe terminale, servetele, bauturi si reviste. Marimea si dimensiunea demografica a companiei pot influenta enorm cantitatea de profit obtinuta din reclama, insa pe termen lung aceasta e o afacere profitabila. Singura intrebare ce ramane este daca publicitatea va compensa intr-adevar pretul la carburanti. Momentan tot ce pot face e sa spere ca vor reusi sa ramana in afaceri pana la rezolvarea celei mai grave crize economice de la Marea Depresiune incoace.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Union station oslavuje 100 rokov by Martina Janeckova

Washingtonská Union Station oslavuje tento víkend svoju storočnicu (sobota, 4. októbra od 10.00 do 16.00 a nedeľa, 5. októbra od 12.00 do 16.00). Bude tu výstava historických lokomotív a vagónov z obdobia rozkvetu železničnej dopravy, ako aj moderného vybavenia Amtrak. Návštevníci si tiež budú môcť zakúpiť pamätné známky vnútri starého poštového vagóna a vystavené budú aj archívne fotky stanice. David Burnham, hlavný architekt chicagského svetového veľtrhu z roku 1893, navrhol stanicu tak, aby slúžila ako „monumentálna brána do Washingtonu“, povedal Dwight Young, ktorý pracuje pre Národnú spoločnosť pre zachovanie historických pamiatok. Stanica bola otvorená v roku 1907, hoci dokončená bola až v roku 1908. V skorších dekádach skoro všetci vrátane známych osobností ako prezidenti a príslušníci kráľovských rodín prichádzali do Washingtonu vlakom. Ale neskôr, keď cestujúci začali uprednostňovať iné spôsoby dopravy, veľké stanice stratili svoju obľúbenosť. New Yorská Pennsylvania station bola v roku 1964 zrovnaná so zemou. Union station takisto upadala, s odpadávajúcimi veľkými kusmi stropu a hubami rastúcimi na podlahe. Ale táto stanica prežila, čiastočne aj vďaka neúspešnému projektu pretvoriť budovu na národné návštevnícke stredisko k príležitosti dvestoročnice krajiny. Čoskoro bola stanica zatvorená. V roku 1988 bola po rekonštrukcii znovu otvorená, opäť ako železničná stanica, ale tento krát aj s nákupným strediskom s luxusnými obchodmi a reštauráciami. Amtrak sa snažil podporovať podobné rekonštrukčné projekty cez svoj Great American Stations program. Dnes patrí stanica k jedným z najnavštevovanejších miest vo Washingtone a ročne ňou prejde viac ako 32 miliónov ľudí.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Union station celebrates 100 years by Martina Janeckova

Washington’s Union Station is celebrating its centennial this weekend (Saturday, Oct. 4 from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. and Sunday Oct. 5 from noon to 4 p. m.). There will be exhibition of historic locomotives and passenger cars from the bloom of rail travel, as well as modern Amtrak equipment. Visitors will also be able to buy souvenir stamps inside and old railway post office car and archival photos of the station will be displayed. David Burnham, the principal architect of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, designed the station to serve as “a monumental gateway to Washington”, said Dwight Young, who works for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The station opened in 1907, although it wasn’t completed until 1908. In the early decades, nearly everyone, including famous persons as presidents and royalty, arrived in Washington by train. But later as passengers started to prefer other means of transport, big train stations fell out of favor. New York Pennsylvania Station was razed in 1964. Union station was in decline too, with big pieces of ceiling falling off and mushrooms growing the floor. But this station survived, thanks in part to an unsuccessful project to remake the building into a national visitor’s center for the country’s bicentennial. Soon the station was closed. In 1988 it was reopened after the restoration, once again as a train station, but also with a shopping mall with luxurious shops and restaurants. Amtrak has been trying to support similar restoration projects through its Great American Stations program. Today the station is one of the Washington’s most visited sites with more than 32 million people passing through a year.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Cell phones all over by Claudia Sonea

There are some places on this planet where cell phones or the internet cannot be used. Amazing as it may be, these places are not uninhabited or untouched by humans. For instance, Yellowstone National Park is such a place and it is under human administration, but the problem is for how long? On Tuesday, the park officials announced that they released a draft plan regarding the wireless services within the park.
Yellowstone's wireless communication plan is supposed to increase cell phone coverage in the 3,500-square-mile park. According to them the effects will be insignificants as the surrounding areas and park road corridors are forbidden to cellular towers, and they demand that larger developed areas to increase cell phone service and wireless Internet. However, one of the flaws that lead to this draft plan was that the most visited site of Yellowstone, Old Faithful geyser, had as neighbor nothing else than a cellular tower. Controversies stirred by this awkward location will be ironed out by the transfer next to a water treatment plant.
It is very encouraging to think that the places that once were meant to offer you peace and the perfect spot to contemplate and meditate will now be disturbed by rude people answering their cell phones. In spite of the courtesy politic the officials assured us of, most definitely there will be people that will not have any consideration for such things. There are pay phones along roadways inside the park, why would be there any need for cell phones? By October 31 you can express your opinion on the matter. Don’t let the technology to break through everything. Green power!

Celulare peste tot by Claudia Sonea

Exist ape lumea aceasta cateva locuri unde celularele si Internetul nu pot fi utilizate. Uimitor, dar aceste locuri nu sunt nelocuite sau nexplorate de oameni. De exemplu, parcul national Yellowstone este un astfel de loc, dar problema e pentru cat timp? Marti, autoritatiile parcului au anuntat lansarea unui plan al serviciului wireless in interiourul parcului.
Planul comunicarii wireless al Yellowstone are scopul de a mari acoperirea telefoanelor mobile in parcul de 3,500 mile patrate. Conform autoritatilor efectele vor fi insignificante deoarece ariile inconjuratoare si drumurile parcului sunt interzise amplasarii turnurilor de telefonie mobile si au cerut ca zonele mai dezvoltate care au hotele si cladiri cu multe etaje sa mareasca acoperirea retelei wireless. Totusi, unu din defectele care au condos la acest plan, a fost faptul ca cel mai vizitat site al Yellowstonulu, gheizarul Old Faithful, had are ca vecin nimic altceva decat un turn de telefonie mobila. Controversele starnite de strania amplasare vor disparea dupa ce turnul va fi mutat langa o centrala de epurare
Este incurajator sa te gandesti ca locurile care altadata iti ofereau pace si unde puteai medita vor fi acum deranjate de oamenii grosolani care raspund si vorbesc la telefon. In ciuda politicii curoaziei pe care o vor promova autoritatile, vor exista oameni care nu vor tine cont de nimic. Exista telefoane publice pe marginea drumurilor din parc, ce nevoie ar fi de celulare? Pana la 31 octombrie va puteti exprima parerea in legatura cu aceasta chestiune. Nu lasati tehnologia sa patrunda peste tot. Puterea verde!
