Running from the 10th to the 13th of November 2008, the World Travel Market is a business to business exhibition that attracts travel industry executives and their clients from across the world. It provides one of the best opportunities to connect and network or even to conduct business with leaders and decision-makers involved with the travel industry. Those in attendance are brought up to date on the latest developments in the global travel industry.

The annual event is held in London and is organised by Reed Exhibitions as part of their regular portfolio of events. The exhibitors (and visitors) are from travel-related sectors including air travel, accommodation, airports, business and financial services, destination management, destinations, golf-related services, the media, tour operators, venues, travel agencies, and training and recruitment.

In 2007, a record 48,000 travel professionals were in attendance at the event. These included Meridian Club members, trade professionals, international press, students, and even ministers. The event's international appeal was reflected by the fact that 52% of those in attendance had come from outside the UK.

Each year, one day of the event is dedicated to encouraging 'responsible tourism' initiatives. Case studies and best practices are highlighted and debate and discussion is encouraged. Known as WTM, World Responsible Tourism Day, the programme sees the participation of governments, businesses, organisers and consumers, all working toward more responsible tourism. Support packs filled with ideas and suggestions for actions that can be implemented are offered to participants. This year's World Responsible Tourism Day is set to take place on the 12th of November.

The Meridian Club is another sub brand of the World Travel Market. It provides an environment for discussion and negotiation between senior executives with the authority to purchase travel products and services and exhibitors. However, exhibitors are not eligible for Meridian Club membership.

Travel agents have a special programme that contributes structured product knowledge training for travel agents, counter clerks or reservation staff, home-based workers and the middle management of independents and multiples. The WTM Travel Agents programme comprises presentations, stand visits, destination trails and competitions.

The World Travel Market is supported by major international travel trade publications who play the role of the event's official media partners. Each of these publications provides coverage for the event in various ways according to the nature of their agreement with the WTM. This event is definitely a must-visit for anyone working in the travel industry and those who deal with it on a regular basis.

Orlando Sanford is the secondary airport in Orlando Florida and it is farther away from the main attractions which include Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Seaworld than the main Orlando International Airport. Orlando Sanford International Airport is conveniently located within the boundaries of the City of Sanford, in the northwestern section of Seminole County just 25km miles northeast of Orlando, Florida.

When you arrive at Orlando Sanford Airport you will find baggage reclaim on the ground floor of the airport, conveniently placed for all ground transport including the car hire agencies based at the airport, buses, taxis and car parks. Walking distances from the gates to the baggage reclaim is short and there are lifts and elevators and escalators if required.

If you are not hiring a car and plan to get a taxi to your destination ten the Yellow Cab Company is the only official taxi/cab company based at the airport and it is available without pre booking.

There is a good choice of buses and coaches from the airport, with the Lynx bus operating a service to and from the airport. There is no rail connection at the airport, but you can travel to downtown Orlando by bus, taxi or limousine from the airport to get to the Amtrak station there.

If you are departing from Orlando Sanford the airport is split into two terminals; Terminal A (International Departures), Terminal B (Domestic Departures).They are adjacent, so you can move from one to the other easily. Terminal A is on the upper level which is serviced by lifts and escalators.

The parking garage is the most convenient with a pedestrian bridge linking it to the terminal building. Various options are offered including Economy parking and Value Parking. Regular shuttle buses run to the terminal building if you park in the surface car parks.

There are plenty of choices for places to get snacks and drinks at Orlando Sanford Airport. Most of the outlets are in Terminal B, but if you want something hot to eat then head for the Food Court in Terminal A.

If you are reading this you might be close to setting up your first website ever or you can be a person with experience that is just curious to see if there are things that you might have missed. Whatever the case is I hope to be able to provide you with a few of the things that I personally feel are important when you are picking the right domain name for your new site.

I assume that you have already found the topic that you are going to be focusing on and therefore I will not go into any of the things that relates on how to find a profitable market online. The reason I say this is that I assume that you new site will somehow have a business related theme as a personal website with pictures of your family and stuff doesnt need much consideration when choosing the domain name.

So let us get into the things that I strongly feel you would have great benefit from.

It is a know fact that more and more traffic (aka visitors to your site) comes from the search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN (which has now launched their new site called Live). So with this fact in mind you will need to find out how to get the best possible placement in the search engines so that people will come visit your site.

Most online marketers agree that from a SEO point of you the right keyword rich domain name can help your site rank better that if you are not using a keyword rich domain name. You might say that site like Nike.com, Amazon.com and Ebay.com doesnt have keyword rich names and you are absolutely right.

However the difference between you and the great site is that they have much larger advertising budget than you have and therefore they can get away with having names that doesnt make much sense. So if you are on a small budget I suggest that you go for the keyword rich domain name approach.

Choosing a keyword rich domain name does not mean that you will have to end up with a name that nobody will ever remember. That can be the case but it doesnt have to be. Let us say that you are going to create a site that deals with pets. Maybe you want to sell pet toys and other accessories.

What I would do is to go to the site called: http://www.wordtracker.com/free-trial.html and sign up for the free trial. Once you have received the e-mail from WordTracker you would enter pets in the field.

Youll see that the word pet supplies has a count of 2,000-2,500 visitors in a 90 day period. If you had paid for the full version of WordTracker (I strongly recommend that you do) you would have found that for the keyword phrase pet toys and supplies and that 145 people are searching for that particular phrase every day and that there are only 857 sites competing for that exact phrase.

Now that is great information and you can now use it for finding a domain name that will 1) Tell your visitors what it is that you do and 2) hold some really great keywords that you will want to target to rank in the search engines.

If you go to the site called: http://idenion.dk/tools/multidomaincheck.aspx youll be able to enter domain names in the box and test whether they are available. I have just tested the domains pettoysandsupplies.com and pet-toys-and-supplies.com and both of them are available. That is great news as the domains names will help you some of the way to get the high rankings that you want.
