It's a great time to travel this spring, as many destinations are offering special deals, celebrating festivals and hosting events to attract visitors.

The deals in Vegas are getting hot and so are the tables. Our Vegas sale will help travelers save money this summer on packages so they can get the most value out of their visit to some of the city's 'must stay' spots.

The Internet has really revolutionized travel and travel booking. Consumers are now able to find great deals at the last minute a lot easier.

Even when I was at Northwestern [Miami], I had always made a point to travel to high-level events. This year, we set the table, competing against top competition. Next year, it will be more intense.

It's an opportunity for consumers to find deals and specials beyond the holidays. Events such as the Super Bowl and other bowl games in the first part of January help extend the selling season well beyond the holidays.

I travel every week and I could be in a suit one second and the next second I'll be in jeans and flip-flops, so it has that upscale feel but offers the comfort ability of home. It's a great hotel for this type of market because the business side of Fort Myers has developed quite a bit but it's also a strong leisure market.
