ASIANA AIRLINES. If
your travels – whether business or leisure – take you to Asia,
we encourage you to fly Asiana Airlines. All in all, Asiana Airlines serves
21 countries, 65 cities, and flies 82 routes. In the United States, their
gateways include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
And why choose Asiana over other carriers to the Far East? Asiana has been
selected as the 2009 “Airline of the Year” recipient by Air
Transport World – recognized world-wide as the most prestigious air
transport publication. This honor is awarded to a major or large international
airline that “has exhibited outstanding performance in a number of
airline disciplines” and is by far the most coveted and competitive
award presented each year. To qualify for an airline to win this award,
it should have provided exemplary service to the public while upholding
a model safety record, been innovative in developing new markets and services,
been a leader in applying new technology to the airline industry and been
consistently profitable. Safety, of course, is #1. Other accolades awarded
to Asiana include “Best Flight Attendants in the World” – a
three-time honor given by Business Travel Magazine, as well as “Best
In-Flight Service in the World” (three-time honoree) and “Best
Overall Customer Service – Ground/Call Center.” Moreover, because
of the emphasis placed on environmental impact and curtailing global warming,
Asiana is also very cognizant of its responsibility and has been awarded
the “Environmental Management Award” from the Korean Ministry
of Environment. For example, the airline has constructed waste management
facilities on its properties where all contaminants from various job sites
are recycled. Additionally, Asiana continues to make adjustments on each
aircraft to ensure less CO2 emissions combined with increased fuel efficiency.
For exceptional service and comfort in the skies – Asiana offers a level
of service “unrivaled in the aviation world.” Your journey is sure
to be more relaxing; your business executed more quickly and more efficiently.
In other words . . . Asiana Airlines’ goal is to “provide elegance
to your travel” and to provide a premium service that continues from the
beginning of your journey to its end. Please give us a call or stop by. We look
forward to making your arrangements to fly Asiana.
The Pacific Rim . . .
Getaway – Far Away!
Like a giant, great blue tablecloth, the region known as the Pacific Rim stretches
from the “Down Under” immensity of Australia to the relative smallness
of Easter Island. This region can showcase a paradise of land and water like
no other place on earth. It is endlessly compelling – filled with unique
and curious customs – some familiar; some not. Pacific Rim countries – those
bordering the Pacific Ocean from North and South America to Asia and Oceania – include
such popular destinations as Australia, New Zealand, China, South Korea and
Japan, as well as the South American countries of Peru, Chile and Ecuador.
Please give us a call . . . we’re here to answer your questions and make
all of your arrangements. We look forward to talking with you soon. Here are
just a couple of our favorite countries that border the Pacific Rim . . .
CHINA – Besides being one of the oldest nations on earth, China is the
third largest nation on earth and is also known as one of the world’s
most intriguing travel destinations. This magnificent country will appeal to
those of us who want to visit and learn about a culture very different from
our own. China truly encompasses every type of terrain imaginable from the
steamy lowlands of the southeast to the Himalayan peaks of Tibet to the Gobi
Desert in the north. In fact, China is bordered by 14 other countries!
KOREA – South Korea, known as “The Land of the Morning Calm,” is
a very mountainous country full of wonderful pockets of traditional culture
and unspoiled scenery – ranging from the vibrant sights and sounds of
Seoul to the peace and quiet of the Haeinsa Temple or Seoraksan National Park.
Korean culture is focused on balancing the yin and yang, the hot and cold – and
the country is “best seen with a sense of balance in mind.” The
frenzy of the city balanced with the tranquility of the countryside should
give you a solid introduction to one of the world’s oldest cultures.
