LONDON, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After a turbulent year of cancelled travel plans, 2021 can be the year it’s possible to tick ‘seeing more of the world’ off the bucket list. Hyatt Hotels has launched ‘The Great Relocate,’ a long-stay package to cater to the pent-up desire amongst consumers for travel and longer stays abroad.

The package provides guests, who can work remotely, with a unique way to see new parts of the world, while working and living in the comfort of a Hyatt hotel. The offer is open to World of Hyatt members, with stays eligible to contribute towards achieving elite member status.

More than 80%¹ of employers are now said to be expanding offers to their employees to work remotely, after the last year proved many people can work effectively across different postcodes and time zones. This combination of a shift in work patterns and consumers’ pent-up desire for travel, after months of quarantines and travel restrictions, means there is an increasing demand for long stay-travel. 

The Great Relocate offers the change of scenery that so many who have been working from home crave, with spacious guestrooms and suites, refreshing pools, twice weekly housekeeping, private work areas, complimentary gym access, high-speed internet and IT concierge on hand, laundry services, airport or train station pickup and 25% off onsite dining*, working remotely can be a breeze. When combined with Hyatt’s highest standards of cleanliness, to ensure the health and wellbeing of guests, all stays are as relaxing and seamless as possible.

«We know there is a strong desire for consumers to travel this year, after many plans were put on hold in 2020,» said Geneviève Materne, Senior Vice President, Commercial Services Europe, Middle East, Southwest Asia. «The pandemic has been a major catalyst for the increase in the ‘work from anywhere’ trend and we know it has accelerated significant shifts in the way we live, work and play. That is why we’ve created The Great Relocate.»

The Great Relocate is perfect for guests who are looking to swap their spare room for working poolside, trade standing lunches for lunches in rooftop restaurants and cosy cafes, sneaking a pamper session in after a morning meeting, or going for an afternoon swim with their family before dinner.

Geneviève went on to say, «This is the perfect offer for all the Digital Nomads out there and for those, who define luxury as not being tied to one place. We are making it more affordable than ever to take a long stay in one of our hotels, for a similar amount you would pay for the average city-centre rent. We look forward to welcoming guests, whether they want to relocate on their own, bring their partner, their family or even their pet!»

The offer is valid across Hyatt hotels in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia, for a minimum of 29 days up until 31 December 2021, when you book by 3 December.** To take advantage of the package, guests should sign up to World of Hyatt before booking.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Corra Group is working with trucking and transportation companies around the country to provide Motor Vehicle Driving Records to employers in need of replacement drivers. According to a recent article in JOC.com, entitled US Truck Driver Shortfall Steeper Than Expected, there are approximate 150 thousand or 4.4 percent fewer drivers since July of 2020. Much of it, the article reports, is due to the crippling economic effects of recession brought on by COVID-19.

The El Segundo, California headquartered background screening company understands there is a pressing need to get as many truckers on the road as possible in order to restore supply chains and to deliver vital goods and materials to businesses and consumers, partly as a result of escalated online ordering, which according to an article in Digital Commerce 360 has grown last year by some 44 percent.

«No doubt, there is a critical shortage of drivers,» said Corra Group Co-Founder, Gordon Basichis. «Between digital or online shopping and economic attrition, our clients tell me that they are desperate to find more truck drivers. Some clients are looking for Department of Transportation compliant commercial drivers and some are looking for drivers who can handle the lighter vehicles, the delivery trucks and such.

«Corra Group works with trucking firms to get them Motor Vehicle Driving Records, or MVRS, in approximately sixty seconds, in most states,» said Basichis. «In addition, for those who need a variety of background checks, Corra Group can offer DOT compliant employment verifications, as well as PSP Driver Safety Reports, and criminal records searches.»

Basichis noted that with Corra Group there are no sign up and no monthly fees. He offered that Corra Group can offer driving records and comprehensive background checks in every state in the union, plus much of Canada and Puerto Rico.

«We are some time away from the proliferation of autonomous trucks,» said Basichis. «That is our future, but for now it seems a more distant part of our future, and when it does come to pass it would probably roll out in stages. Meanwhile, we need truck drivers. In normal times, they are essential. In critical times they are part of the life’s blood of this nation.»

Summary: Corra Group is a full service employment screening company that offers the full range of DOT compliant services to the trucking and transportation industry. Check us out at http://www.corragroup.com

DUNCAN, Okla., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Duncan Little Theatre will bring not one, but two different shows to Duncan this season with «Little Footsteps» and «The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!»

Join Duncan Little Theatre the weekend after Valentine’s Day as they kick off their 2021 season with «Little Footsteps,» a heartwarming story of a young couple becoming parents for the first time. This production will be held at the Duncan Moose Lodge, located at 1712 W Seminole Rd in Duncan on February 19th and 20th at 7:30 PM. Enjoy the story of Ben and Joanie, in their mid-thirties and married eight years, are an upwardly mobile «Yuppie» couple about to become parents for the first time. Ben (who is Jewish) works in television, Joanie (a quintessential WASP) is a would-be artist. As the play begins they are redecorating the dining room of their Manhattan apartment for use as a nursery, an activity which both underscores the impending changes in their lives and reinforces Ben’s uneasiness about it. The scene is filled with funny lines as Ben tries to make light of his misgivings, but his fears lead inevitably to dispute and, by the end of Act One, Ben has departed and Joanie suddenly finds herself a single parent-to-be. In Act Two, which takes place several months later, a christening party is in progress attended by Joanie’s parents, Charlotte and Gil, an affluent older couple who are not hesitant to point out that they never much cared for Ben in the first place. As for Ben, having avoided the formal christening, he now sneaks in through the nursery window determined (in a gesture towards his own religious background) to intone a few Jewish prayers over his newborn son—which, when the others suddenly return, leads both to a series of wildly funny misunderstandings, and also, in the end, a tenuous reconciliation and a commitment, by both Ben and Joanie, to try to grow up before their offspring does. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, seniors, and military personnel.

The very next weekend, Duncan Little Theatre will also present «The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!» Performances will be held February 26-28 and March 5-6 at the Palace Theater, located at 926 W Main St. Watch the story unfold as an eclectic group of sixth-graders arrive at the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, each eager to win for very different reasons. Sweet and shy Olive brings only her best friend (the dictionary) with her to the bee; bold and hyper allergic speller William Barfee uses his «magic foot» to propel him to greatness; former champion Chip is struggling with his burgeoning puberty; easily distracted Leaf is unconvinced that he’s smart enough to be a challenger; overachiever Marcy is disappointed by her consistent success; and politically aware Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre only wants to impress her dads. In hilarious, touching, and catchy songs, each speller reveals his/her hopes, struggles, and passions as they make their way through the competition. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students, seniors, and military personnel.

Tickets may be purchased online at https://buy.tututix.com/dlt or purchased at the door. Seats will be socially distanced and masks will be required inside the venue.

For large group ticket sales or for more information, please contact Duncan Little Theatre at 580-252-8331.
