Dear Naresh,

I hope this mail finds you well.

In the past several months Road Safety has gained prominence in the country due to the tireless efforts of media in highlighting the epidemic of road accidents. Consequently, the government is expected to introduce a comprehensive legislation to deal with the challenge.

The efforts must continue though as on-ground change will only be visible through effective enforcement of any legislation and better awareness among citizens.

In order to support our media';s efforts to cover the issue effectively, SaveLIFE Foundation has developed a resource center on Road Safety for media where latest statistics, global and domestic research, contact details of road safety experts, compilation of all judgments in the area, and testimonials of victims can be found.

The resource center can be accessed at www.savelifefoundation.org/media. 

In case of any additional resource or information, you or your team could contact me at anytime. My contact details are mentioned below with my signature.

With best regards,

Piyush

This just an opinion of one’s mind , from the perspective of consumer.

Sending Stereotype adds on email just releasing one from Flipkar  and so is another from US giant of  IT puts his nail online thus Amazon do same. Whereas the travel online shoppe is more interesting and people sit hours waiting for the opportunity to come across.The companies in online trade must know pan India culture and thus make windfall profit with its target to such natives. Innovation and creativity and its continuity is not an  insurmountable affair but just nano-second away as one is in contemplation.Your online email  will still garner business for two giants.

Anna Maria Island Selected as one of the

Top 30 Islands in the World by Conde Nast Traveler Readers

2014 Readers’ Choice Awards Winners Announced, Island Clinches No. 26 Spot

Mumbai, October, 2014 – The Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau is thrilled to announce that Anna Maria Island has been named one of the world’s top islands, byConde Nast Traveler Readers.

The popular travel magazine recently released the winners of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards, which ranks top cities, hotels, resorts, spas and cruiselines in the world, based on readers’ votes. One of only 11 U.S. islands on the list, and the only representative from Florida, Anna Maria Island clinched the No. 26 spot, with a readers’ rating of 81.373.

Anna Maria is described by Conde Nast Traveler as a “narrow band off Florida’s west coast, this barrier island has some of the softest, whitest sand on the East Coast. And as it faces west, it’s a stunning place to watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. Pro tip: At seven miles long and two miles wide, Anna Maria Island is a great place for a leisurely biking trip along the water. By-the-hour cycle rentals are available at Beach Bums.”

This year, votes were received from more than 77,000 readers, and each entry was judged on a set of criteria related to its category and using a standard five-point rating scale from excellent to poor. The mean average of all ratings determined the final score.

“This ranking confirms how special Anna Maria Island is to not only to our community, but to visitors as well,” said Elliott Falcione, executive director at the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Anna Maria Island is so much more than seven miles of beautiful sugar white sand beaches, it’s a community that is low rise, low key, with an old Florida setting that sets itself apart from other islands.”
