DALLAS, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — World Series of Golf, Inc. (USOTC: WSGF) («WSGF») today announced the Caribbean boutique hotel backed by the company’s new Vaycaychella subsidiary is expected to be opening its doors for business by the end of the first quarter.

Vaycaychella is a subsidiary operation of WSGF acquired last year that now represents the company’s primary business focus. A corporate name change is underway.

Over the past three years Vaycaychella has built a portfolio of short-term vacation property investments that would not qualify for conventional mortgages. Vaycaychella started by building a pilot client base serving a Caribbean based vacation property owner with 10 beachfront community vacation homes currently under management. Vaycaychella has financed the property owner to acquire and refurbish the 10 premium properties. 

Since launching the Vaycaychella website earlier this year, Vaycaychella has added additional properties to its short-term rental portfolio spanning the Caribbean from Mexico to Puerto Rico to include properties in Cuba.

The boutique hotel business announced today will operate in a former mansion located in the Havana, Cuba residential community of Miramar. The six-room hotel includes a restaurant and night club. Vaycaychella is financing the Canadian host to refurbish the building. The boutique hotel, previously anticipated to open by the summer of 2021, is now expected to open ahead of scheduled by the end of the first quarter of 2021.

Now the company is scaling its business model with the introduction of its P2P technology.

Vaycaychella has built a peer-to-peer (P2P) technology solution designed to connect short-term rental property buyers with alternative investors. The P2P application (app) is part of a fintech ecosystem solution suite for short-term rental property owners that includes a Visa Card solution and plans for a cryptocurrency component.

WSGF plans to beta launch its Vaycaychella P2P app to beta users in February 2021 with a production launch anticipated in June. 

Recently, the company announced plans to add a cryptocurrency strategy to its Vaycaychella P2P business model. In conjunction with the development of its cryptocurrency strategy, the company has recently launched a cryptocurrency survey as part of an overall effort to gather important information in developing its overall cryptocurrency strategy.

To participate in the survey, go to https://www.vaycaychella.com/crypto-survey.

The recent Airbnb IPO has brought attention to the burgeoning short-term rental property sector of the overall travel accommodations sector.  At the same time, it has highlighted the limited availability of resources available to short-term rental property owners and operators marketing through Airbnb and its peers such as VRBO and Booking.com.  Vaycaychella is building a solution suite to fill that void.

Vaycaychella’s mission is to serve short-term vacation rental owners and investors with a peer-to-peer (P2P) investment application (app).  Vaycaychella plans to introduce additional apps that serve short-term rental owners and investors by, for example, providing discounted access to rental amenity supplies, on demand maintenance services, insurance, security and international banking and credit card processing.

To learn more and keep up with the latest updates, visit https://www.vaycaychella.com/.  At the company website, you will find a blog with frequent industry publications on the short-term rental market in general, as well as entries specific to Vaycaychella.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — If the events of the past year have taught us anything, it’s that many of us can continue doing our jobs from anywhere. Thanks to advancements in videoconferencing and other technologies, the long commute to work by train and pounding our hand against the steering wheel during rush-hour traffic, may forever be in our rearview mirror. So too could be the need to tolerate expensive city rents and high taxes. The trend toward working remotely isn’t new, but the restrictions placed upon us by COVID has certainly accelerated that trend, along with the desire to increase our quality of life. «If you’d like to upgrade your life without giving up everything you like to do, lowering your cost of living may just be a matter of changing your address.» That’s according to Tim Leffel, award-winning travel writer and author of the new book, «A Better Life at Half the Price,» a detailed roadmap to help determine where to live in the world for less.

Mr. Leffel recently shared his expertise on ExpertFlyer’s podcast from his home in Guanajuato City, Mexico, an indication that this American author follows his own advice. The extensive interview is presented in two installments with Part I addressing the processes to help narrow your search. The old saying, «the world is a small place,» doesn’t really apply when scouring the Earth for a new place to live. But Leffel offers sound advice to help with the decision process. During Part II of his conversation with ExpertFlyer, he offers insight, advice, and hard financial facts about living in all parts of the world, from Europe, Central and South America, Asia Pacific, and more.

«I always say there are three factors you have to look at,» Mr. Leffel says. «The head factor, the wallet factor, and the heart factor.» The first two, he says, can be done from the kitchen table. «The head factor is essentially a list of what’s important to you such as climate, geographic surroundings, nearby medical facilities, nearby airports etc. The wallet factor addresses the necessary discussion of budgets and the general costs of living around the world.» Leffel does a good job of exploring these costs, country by country, in his book.

The last factor, he explains, is something that will require hands-on experiences but having a better grip on the Head and Wallet factors will help substantially narrow the search. «You can’t move to Iceland if you’re trying to get by on $2,000 a month, but there are many countries that allow you to live really well on $2,000 a month, if you pick the right place.»

Leffel also explains that ‘leaving the U.S.’ can be a strange and unnerving process for many people and highly recommends finding groups on social media consisting of others who have already made the move and can provide insightful thoughts about the process. Asking only family members and friends about leaving the «good-old US of A» will likely yield mostly strange looks, odd comments, and suggestions to seek professional help.

ITASCA, Ill., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today the nation’s largest coalition of traffic safety organizations – Road to Zero – along with Toward Zero Deaths, Vision Zero Network, Families for Safe Streets and 74 partner organizations and individuals sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to commit the efforts of the federal government to achieve zero roadway deaths by 2050. The letter was sent as President Biden began announcing his most urgent priorities and as Secretary-designate of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, met with senators for the first time ahead of his confirmation hearing.

While the new administration’s immediate focus will be rightly on ending the COVID-19 pandemic, the group urges the president not to overlook persistent killers across the nation – many of which have been exacerbated by the pandemic, including roadway deaths. About 100 people lose their lives on any given day on the nation’s roadways, with traffic crashes being the leading cause of death for people ages 1-25. Tragically, President Biden and his family have been personally impacted, having lost his first wife and daughter in a crash in 1972.

«Roadway deaths have been a leading killer in our nation for decades,» said Lorraine Martin, chair of the Road to Zero Coalition and president and CEO of the National Safety Council. «Our organizations look forward to working with the new administration, and we stand ready to assist in any way we can.»

«Ensuring safe mobility for all community members should be a core component of President Biden’s commitment to Build Back Better,» said Leah Shahum, director of the national Vision Zero Network, supporting more than 45 U.S. communities committed to zero traffic deaths or severe injuries. «Now is the time to recognize how interconnected traffic safety goals are with the critical national priorities of overcoming the pandemic, advancing racial and economic justice, and investing in the health of our planet.»

«We look forward to working with the Biden Administration and the USDOT on implementing the strategies identified in the Toward Zero Deaths national strategy,» said Jim Tymon, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, on behalf of the Toward Zero Deaths program. «We need to work aggressively to use tried and true as well as innovative strategies to eliminate fatalities on our nation’s roads.»

«As individuals who have also been personally impacted by traffic violence, Families for Safe Streets members across the country are counting on President Biden to help prevent the needless suffering that he too has personally experienced. These deaths have bisected our lives and fractured our families. Our country needs a leader who will commit to #ZeroTrafficDeaths and end this devastating, preventable public health crisis. We are confident that President Biden, with support from soon-to-be Secretary Buttigieg at USDOT, can be this leader,» said Amy Cohen, Co-Founder, Families for Safe Streets, and mother of Sammy Cohen Eckstein (12/8/00-10/8/13).

In 2018, the Road to Zero Coalition issued a report detailing what the U.S. must do to eliminate roadway fatalities by 2050.  Actions included the need for the U.S. to prioritize safety by adopting a Safe System approach.  The Safe System approach – implemented in countries around the world with proven success – includes redesigning roads to engineer out common risks and mitigate driver errors that lead to high-consequence crashes.

Groups, organizations, companies and individuals interested in signing on to the letter can do so here. Signatories are being accepted now as the partners work to draw attention to this important issue. A multifaceted media campaign is also underway, with victim impact stories being shared on social media.

For more information, please visit nsc.org/roadtozero.

About the Road to Zero Coalition

The Road to Zero Coalition provides a coordinated, data-driven response to the increase in roadway deaths, with a goal of getting to zero traffic fatalities by 2050. Road to Zero was founded in 2016 by a group of public and private entities, including federal and state governments, nonprofit, and private sector entities.

About Families for Safe Streets

Families for Safe Streets (FSS) confronts the epidemic of traffic violence by advocating for life-saving changes and providing support to those who have been impacted by crashes. Comprised of individuals who have been injured or lost loved ones, FSS was founded in 2014 in New York City and is growing as a national movement with chapters across the country.

About Vision Zero Network

Vision Zero Network is a national nonprofit advancing the goal of safe mobility for all — zero traffic deaths or severe injuries among all road users.

About Toward Zero Deaths

Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) is a national strategy on highway safety to advocate for eliminating serious injuries and deaths on our nation’s roadways, conceptualized by safety practitioners, researchers, advocates, and others from a variety of disciplines. The strategy calls for all stakeholders to champion the idea that one death on our nation’s roadways is too many, and we must all work together to bring the annual number of roadway deaths down to zero.
