We are thrilled to introduce Oceaya to the world and look forward to inviting everyone to embark on a journey of unforgettable experiences, where the boundaries between leisure, art, and entertainment merge.”

BURY, UK 11th April 2023 – British architectural photographer Andy Marshall is celebrating a major achievement, with his newsletter, Genius Loci Digest, reaching a significant milestone of 1000 subscribers. The newsletter is a reflection of Marshall’s travels around Britain in his camper van, capturing hidden gems and remarkable places along the way on what he fondly calls his ‘camper-van-camino’.
Andy has a unique story. He came to photography after a breakdown in his thirties and specialised in photographing historic buildings. He won a photography lens for his post-grad thesis on Genius Loci in Architecture, and it is from this unique fusion of history, photography, travel and van life that he has forged a new way forward via his newsletter. 

More recently, Andy needed to adapt to the challenging economic climate, and the Genius Loci Digest emerged as a by-product of his travels to connect with a wider audience and share the beauty of the places he has discovered.

As Andy explains, “My commissioned photo shoots take me all over Britain, and during the spare time I seek out hidden gems to visit and photograph. Even after all these years, I’m amazed at the beauty and diversity of our heritage and I’m still discovering inspirational places to share.”

Since its launch, the free weekly newsletter has reached a remarkable 1000 subscribers from all over the world,  and has become the primary focus of Andy’s work. Recently, he introduced a Membership Programme, offering additional exclusive content. The programme has been a success providing him with supplementary income that has enabled him to fund further adventures and offer free photography to charitable places in need.

“I love everything about making the digest, from the trip planning, to the photography, to the writing. I hope that subscribers get a taste and sense of the places and people I visit – and their wisdom.” says Andy. “One of the most rewarding responses I’ve had to the Genius Loci Digest is: ‘I love seeing the world through your eyes.'”

Andy Marshall’s Genius Loci Digest is free to subscribers and can be accessed online at: https://www.digest.andymarshall.co/

Supercar Road trip from Venice to Tivat
Xanadu Luxury Group Presents Exciting Opportunity to Drive a Supercar Along the Croatian Coast Next Spring

Xanadu Luxury Group is offering supercar aficionados the chance to drive a car such as a Ferrari or Lamborghini along the stunning sun-drenched Adriatic Coast next Spring. The all-inclusive package, which takes place between Monday 24 April and Sunday 1 May 2022, will encompass scheduled stops at Michelin restaurants, wineries and vineyards, and overnight stays in five-star hotels as guests drive along the Croatian coast from Venice to Montenegro.

Guests can choose the car they want to drive from an impressive list, including some of the best supercars in the world, such as a Ferrari 488 Spider, a Lamborghini Huracan Performante, Bentley GTC, and Aston Martin DB11 Volante.

Xanadu Luxury Group is organising the event to encourage people to forget about the troubles of the last 18 months, celebrate new beginnings, enjoy life, and fulfil their dreams. A lifestyle management and asset acquisition company, Xanadu Luxury Group specialises in delivering upscale bespoke experiences. With key partners around the world, they have successfully built relationships in sectors that empower them to make luxury assets more accessible for their clients.

And, as part of their Green Initiative, Xanadu Luxury Group is proudly supporting One Tree Planted and expect to plant a total of 9,731 trees through the Coast to Coast event. When mature, these trees can be expected to remove over 467,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year.

The Coast to Coast supercar excursion begins in Venice, Italy, when guests are united with their chosen car over brunch at the luxurious five-star JW Marriott Hotel on the private island of Isola delle Rose. The first leg of the journey will then commence to Rovinj, Croatia, stopping off at Kozlovic Winery for a bespoke lunch in the Valle Vineyards. In Rovinj, guests will stay at Grand Park Hotel Rovinj, an elegant seafront hotel nestled in a fragrant pine forest. Grand Park Hotel Rovinj has seven restaurants and bars, one of which is the Michelin-starred Agli Amici Rovinj in the heart of the marina, where guests will dine that evening.

The next stop is Zadar, Croatia, to stay at the Falkensteiner Hotel and enjoy a Mediterranean gourmet experience in the Michelin 2020 Restaurant Kaštel. On the way, there will be a stop at Restaurant Dida in Crikvenica, which is set in a dreamy garden next to the sea.

Day three sees guests enjoying a scenic drive to the capital, Split, and lunching at the beautiful Bibich Winery. Accommodation that night will be in the Cornaro Hotel, an exquisite urban lifestyle hotel in the heart of the city, and dinner will be at the sophisticated Olive Tree Restaurant by the promenade. The following day, a ferry sails from Ploče to Orebić, and the journey continues to the Rixos Premium Dubrovnik, and then on to its final destination, Tivat, Montenegro.

Guests will stay at the Chiedi Lustica Bay Hotel, the best five-star luxury hotel in Montenegro, and eat their evening meal on the rooftop at the Panorama Restaurant and Wine Bar. There will be a party at Nikki Beach Club, a stylish seaside boutique property on the Bay of Tivat, and a weekend of relaxation will be the perfect way to unwind after such an unforgettable experience.

“I couldn’t be more excited to be able to offer our clients and guests this unique adventure following the last 18 months of being housebound. This road trip is all about rediscovering why traveling is so important, the amazing food, the supercars and great company. This is a trip that our clients and guests will remember as the first true holiday after months of confinement.” – Khawer Carr, Group CEO, Xanadu Luxury Group

Secrets, Lies and Deception: The Mobile App That Love Cheats Will Adore https://www.prfire.com/news-releases/secrets-lies-and-deception-the-mobile-app-that-love-cheats-will-adore/ Tue, 28 Nov 2023 13:31:02 +0000 https://www.prfire.com/news-releases/secrets-lies-and-deception-the-mobile-app-that-love-cheats-will-adore/ LONDON, UK 13th March 2023 – Having multiple mobile phones has long been a sign of someone who’s up to no good.

LONDON, UK 13th March 2023 – Having multiple mobile phones has long been a sign of someone who’s up to no good. Love cheats are known for managing their double lives on different handsets, so having more than a couple of phones is always sure to rouse suspicion. But, this new app can now give them two numbers for the same phone.
Enter The CloudSIM mobile app – the perfect communication tool for mobile users with a secret.
The app, which is available on both iPhones and Android devices, provides cheats and criminals with an opportunity to manage their clandestine activities without having to swap phones. 
CloudSIM gives users the option to switch between four different numbers on one device, enabling  dodgy customers to manage their secret lives with ease.
Of course, this wasn’t the original purpose of the app. CloudSIM’s developers had good intentions, seeing it as a viable solution for business people who needed separate numbers for work calls but didn’t want to have to pay for another mobile phone. 
It’s also great for those who are online dating or selling goods and services on sites like eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree but prefer not to share personal information.  Having a second number is like having a second email address, making it far easier to compartmentalise different parts of life – particularly helpful in today’s “new normal” of working from home. 
An extra number can be useful for anyone who needs to hand out details to strangers when buying online or signing up to mailing lists. And if you want to avoid work calls while chilling with a favourite movie or Netflix binge, a separate work number can really help manage a healthy work/life balance.
For singles looking for an easier way to meet people, having a spare number gives an added element of privacy.
Expats who want to maintain a UK number can also benefit from the app, as well as business owners whose staff are now working remotely.   
The app uses VOiP technology for crystal clear calling and is a flexible, cost effective way to manage communication. Users can make real calls to international destinations at a low cost, along with much cheaper sms messaging than standard mobile providers offer. 
But like all innovative technology, there’s always a risk of a minority of people taking advantage. Cheating spouses and criminals have now been provided with the perfect opportunity to go about their dirty business more stealthily – and successfully – than ever before.
Calls to landlines costs £0.01P a minute, calls to mobiles is £0.03P a minute, and text messages cost £0.04P each. The app is free to download, but subscription fee for number is £3.99 a month, £9.99 for three months, or £27.99 for a year.
Cloud SIM is available for download in the App Store and Google Play. To find out more, visit https://www.cloudsimapp.com/

LONDON, UK, 24th May 2023 – Leading independent online passport service provider Passport Waiting Time (PWT​) has acquired the rights to We Jump Any Line (WeJump), an online platform designed to help customers take the hassle out of waiting in line.
 
PWT was the idea of founder Andy Anderson, designed to provide passport applicants a more accurate picture of how long it takes to get their passport. Since the initial concept launched in the UK four years ago, PWT has established itself as an authoritative voice on passport related news​ in ​the UK media and more.

The company has grown to provide real-time updates and detailed information on passport waiting times, comprehensive customer feedback and user reviews, as well as an online forum for passport-related discussions.  PWT has also gone global, having launched in both the US and Canada within the last year, with the aim of providing valuable insights and data to customers waiting for passports in those regions along with providing exclusive travel discounts to its user base.

 
WeJump was the idea of entrepreneur and Argella founder Amar Rajani, a service designed to take the hassle out of waiting in any line by providing real-time data, insights and fast-track tips to help beat queues. The original idea was born out of waiting in line for Her Majesty The Queen’s Lying-in-State in 2022, and realising how the intersection of data, technology and behavioural psychology makes the art of queuing both varied and complex, creating an opportunity to be leveraged. 
 
Speaking of the acquisition, Amar said: “I was originally a user of Passport Waiting Time and became fascinated with the level of data, visibility, and transparency that they were able to provide customers from crowd sourcing. I reached out to Andy to congratulate him on his platform and began to appreciate the extensive transferability and application across so many other services that I use for travel, whether it is booking VIP fast track services, or simply understanding queue times when making bookings for attractions abroad.”
 
This acquisition will allow PWT to offer its customers even more comprehensive travel services, including tips and opportunities on how to avoid lengthy queues and legitimately jump any line, making it the perfect complement to its existing suite of services.
 
Andy said: “We are thrilled to welcome WeJump to the Passport Waiting Time family. This acquisition will allow us to offer our customers an even more seamless travel experience, from the moment they start planning their trip until they return home.”
 
With this acquisition, Passport Waiting Time looks to strengthen its position as the go-to destination for all things related to travel and passport applications, and to continue providing its customers with the best possible travel experience.

Forte Village, in partnership with Ogyre, recently achieved a very special goal: the collection of 2,200 pounds of waste from the sea, to help preserve the world-renowned extraordinary beauty. 


Recycling
Forte Village is dedicated to continuously decreasing the amount of waste produced and has implemented measures to ensure that all waste is properly separated and recycled across food and operational departments, the correct disposal of special waste, the use of recycled and biocompatible materials whenever possible, and organic waste composting. 
 
Energy Saving
The 8,600 sq ft congress center is fully powered by a photovoltaic system, which also serves to help power Hotel Il Castello and Borgo, Palme, and Bougainville hotels utilize solar panels to generate hot water. To promote energy efficiency, lighting in the gardens, grounds, and internal public areas is controlled by timing mechanisms and features LED lighting. To minimize environmental impact, cars are prohibited within the resort. Instead, guests are transported by battery-powered golf carts, and bicycles are provided for both guests and staff. Moreover, guest parking area is equipped with two electric car charging stations. 
 
Water Consumption
Forte Village prioritizes water conservation. 28,250 cubic feet of “grey water” produced daily is purified and used to irrigate 120+ acres of gardens. In just three days, the water saved could fill an Olympic-size pool. A rainwater harvesting system with a 580 sq ft dam, stores 12,474,623 cubic feet for irrigation—equivalent to 141 Olympic-size pools.

Carbon Footprint
In order to compensate for the amount of CO2 produced with transfers from and to Cagliari airport in 2022 (estimated to 47.540 kg), Forte Village partnered with the local DMC FA Travel to plant 1000 trees by 2023. The first stage saw the planting of 200 trees on 23 April 2023: it involved several employees from both companies who actively planted a selection of Carob, wild olive, wild pear, almond in the local area.

Food & Beverage
The majority of produce is sourced locally, ensuring freshness and high quality. Additionally, they maintain an on-site vegetable garden to provide guests with a constant supply of fresh produce.
 
Architecture
Forte Village features eight 4 and 5-star hotels, over 40 suites, and 13 villas. These accommodations were constructed or restored by local architects, emphasizing the use of natural materials that reflect Sardinian tradition. For example, Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa underwent a recent renovation, with a focus on minimizing human impact by utilizing natural materials like wood, granite, travertine, and “Biancone di Orosei,” a light beige marble sourced from a local Sardinian quarry.

Sustainable Education & Culture
Forte Village champions sustainable education and culture with its 5-star Hotel Management Business School. It raises awareness of Sardinian culture, local festivals, and heritage on a global scale. The resort sponsors an annual triathlon that helps shed light on local towns and their rich history. In collaboration with Palazzo Doglio, they successfully fundraised for a state-of-the-art mammogram machine, benefiting the city’s Oncological Hospital, and supporting its crucial role in cancer care for the entire island.

Community & Local Economy
Restaurants and staff canteen prioritize local food sourcing. Around 90% of staff reside within a 30-mile radius. They invest in staff selection, professional growth, and foster trust through training, evaluations, and incentives. Forte Village supports aspiring students with scholarships and a high-end hotel industry master’s program. They partner with the Itennis Foundation, offering underprivileged children top-level tennis training.
