World, Safeways, Large corporate clients at Henley and Ascot, I.T.V. and H.M. Treasury.

What I mean by this is a great deal of corporate events are offering a multi service package. Typically an organization may[..]

The difference between a regular, acoustic guitar and a Latin guitar is not all that widespread. An acoustic guitar is an evolution of the Latin guitar in many ways. When someone says they want to learn to play the Latin guitar, what they actually mean is they want to learn to play an original guitar from the Romantic era, or the Latin area of the world - namely Europe. The Middle East and parts of Africa have also used a guitar for centuries and it is hard to decipher where the modern guitar takes most of its form. However, the Latin guitar is still played in Central and South America. It is also still played in Spain, and used for such types of music as Flamenco. The modern Latin[..]

Most of us have witnessed the changing demographic in the United States over the past few years: Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the United States. This phenomenon is not new to border states such as Texas and California, but for those who live in the Midwest, Central United States, or New England, this changing demographic can still seem surprising. One mistake many businesses make is neglecting this lucrative Latino market segment. Did you know that Spanish-speakers now constitute 15% of the US population? With a buying power of $860 billion in 2007, businesses should be competing aggressively for Latino customers rather than neglecting them. Most companies[..]

With no big name shows to take all the glory, the Tony awards have arrived this year with all the usual excitement and fanfare. The winner of the Best Musical was "In the Heights", a story, or a collection of stories, about chasing the American Dream and lottery winnings in Upper Manhattan Latino families.

And when[..]

The Wisdom of Older Women Why is it that aging has become such a scary thing? Now, in traditional Latino culture, elders are, respected and listened to. However, as Latinos in the U.S., we have this dichotomy of having respect for our elders in some circumstances, and at the same time, having a fear of aging and being "old," "out of date" or "not in touch." While we know that some women age beautifully, both inside and out, others age in ways that are not so graceful (and I'm not talking about physically). We get to choose, mujeres, if we learn from our lessons and incorporate our wisdom into our lives, sharing our experiences, or if we become bitter, and regretful. I have to say that[..]

Peru is an interesting country in that it has been forged by the Conquistadors, brought into modern times by the Japanese (including a famous Peruvian leader with Japanese DNA) and may fall into the orbit of Mainland China. Peru, like many Latin American countries, can indeed be seen as a natural resource colony for Asia’s emerging power houses. According to an NGO worker based in Costa Rica, “America is losing power by the day and is no longer able to keep China out of Central and South America, nor Russia for that matter.” In the wake of these erstwhile geopolitical changes, astute Latin America watchers may well ask what’s going on in Peru? According to Linda[..]

According to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, in Latin America and Europe combined, approximately 250,000 bulls die each year. Do these bulls fall prey to a deadly virus, perhaps? Far from it. The bulls are tortured and killed for the sake of entertainment. Have we evolved at all since the Roman times? Latest polls show that over 72% of Spanish citizens have no interest in bullfighting, yet, because of a small group of influential people in Spain, this inhumane tradition is being kept alive. Fortunately, in Europe and Latin America a growing segment of the population is standing up against bullfighting and calling for an end to this cruel spectacle. Here to talk about[..]

Financial Transparency This is perhaps the mother of all issues when considering the more common challenges in successfully raising private equity capital. And it’s not an issue solely relevant to Brazil and/or Latin America, as it is an issue facing any early-stage or middle-market company worldwide looking to raise capital via the private equity market. It is the subject of much frustration among private equity professionals and company executives alike, and perhaps the single most common reason why most potential transactions reach an unfortunate and untimely death. Let’s first remember that a principal factor of the current financial crisis was the simple annihilation and[..]

It is also understandable why the green lobby and the tourism industry has brought into question the justification for volunteering abroad and why volunteers sometimes feel like they are caught in a conundrum. Global warming is one of the most serious threats facing the world and some of the leading campaign groups have stated that the most ethical thing we can do for the environment is to stay at home. Whilst we can all agree that the best form of travel is to avoid flying, we should not stop flying altogether. That would send us back to the dark ages with massive unemployment (1 in 10 people work in the tourism sector), business recession, and increased poverty (deepening recession,[..]

And what could be more romantic than taking a stroll along the Champs Elysees, wrapped up warm against the elements, followed by a delicious chocolat chaud in a cosy café on the Boulevard St Germain? Or a day exploring the museums and art galleries for which Paris is[..]
