THE BIG SNOW FESTIVAL

The Big Snow Festival will organize in Andorra’s ski resort Arinsal From 13th – 20th March. The Big Snow Festival 2011 is going to have another first for Arinsal; a gigantic street party on St Patricks day! The first of its kind in Arinsal, The Big Snow Festival 2010 featured some of the worlds best DJs and live acts including Calvin Harris who headlined, an awesome 7 nights on the mountain with Pendulum, plus a cool finale featuring Pritchard vs Dainton live on stage!

An awesome success in its first year with great reviews, 2011 is going to be a cool event not to be missed! It was seven nights of non-stop partying with events like the mountain-side fashion show and Paddys Day Pandemonium, plus top DJs including Kiss da Funk and Judge Jules, as well as party nights like Brandon Blocks Old Skool Disco and the Loaded party! The whole village got behind the event with terrace parties for apres ski, live music at El Derby, as well as large discounts for flashing your wristband!

The Big Snow Festival is basically an excuse to grab your mates and head off into the hills for a week of skiing, boarding and partying. Although youd probably like to spend the whole time out and about, there comes a time when even the most hardcore of us need to lay our heads down for the night.

Travel Savings For The Business Traveler

Of course the employer pays for the bill for most business travel. But if you are in business for yourself or the employer isn’t footing the bill, it is important to look for travel savings. If you are a recreational traveler, the tips outlined here will be of equal benefit to you.

Foremost in putting forth effort to ensure travel savings is careful planning. Nothing expands the travel budget more than the unexpected. The choice of a hotel thats located near your destination can save cash and all-important time during your trip. Another feature to look for when booking a hotel is a free airport shuttle service. This can save around $50 just getting from and returning to the airport. Also remember a taxi to the airport is expensive, if you don’t have a spouse or friend with the time to drop you off and pick you up at the airport consider staying at an airport motel. Many motels at airport locations offer free parking for the length of your trip when you book a room. This is a process that saves both time and money.

Car rentals are still a cost effective alternative to airport limos or taxis. An economy car rental may be the cheapest way to get from the airport and may also be the most efficient. Look for discounts and promotions that are offered through car rental companies, airlines and credit card companies as incentives. Your airline may offer a discount on a car rental from a partner company in conjunction with you airline ticket. Check your credit card, airline carrier and other sources for cash saving travel deals.

Just because this is a corporate style trip, you don’t need to eat every meal in a restaurant. Getting deli takeout or a pizza for one night not only results in savings but also frequently give you much needed relaxation to concentration on your presentation. Your hotel will likely have a coffee maker and supplies. Bring along some breakfast bars and fruit to start the day off with a quiet breakfast in your room. Along with being kind to your budget, this way of starting your day will give you time for one more look at that presentation and notes of questions you must ask.

Use the Internet to compare flight prices to your destination and compare hotel rates. Making your own travel reservations can result in travel savings; lots of hotels and airlines offer additional discounts and specials for booking online. This also holds real for car rentals. Booking directly and making your plans yourself will also give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your itinerary exactly. This allows you to choose travel at precisely the times that are convenient to you and direct flights. Any and all time spent waiting for a connection or killing time in-between flights is likely to cost you money. Time on your hands usually results in purchasing and consuming things you don’t really want to pass the time. Doing a bit of work and careful planning will give you extra time to concentrate on the purpose for your business travel and end up in travel savings.
