Thank you to CZECH AIRLINES for the
 fabulous service we received when traveling from the US to Prague.
We highly recommend the airline.  
If we could take the Czech Airlines
business model, including the fine
service at the counters and on board
and some how bottle it, our world
would be so much better.

Thank you to the entire
Czech Airlines Team.

KATERINA PAVLITOVA



US Director of Czech Tourism

 

Back to Top
 

 
Katerina joined Sandy from Brooklyn on a snowy Christmassy as TravelTalkRADIO's  special guest of the week. Sandy was able to travel with Katrina in Prague and listen to several of her polished yet seemingly off the cough presentations on the Czech Republic. Katerina's represents a wonderful blend of passions and knowledge of Czech Tourism and understanding how the Amercian public respond to Prague and beyond.

You will enjoy this refreshing interview with a wonderful travel ambassador.

 Katerina Pavlitova is the US director of CzechTourism, the Czech Republic's national tourist board; she has held the job since 1996. CzechTourism is responsible for marketing the Czech Republic as a destination both to the American public and to tourism professionals - travel agents and tour operators. Its New York office (with a staff of 2.5 - 2 fiull time and 1 part time employee) also serves the general public, answering questions and providing literature. The CzechTourism web site, where you will find all kinds of relevant information about traveling to the Czech Republic, is www.czechtourism.com/USA.

Prior to arriving at her current job in New York, Katerina Pavlitova has worked in Prague as a translator/interpreter and newscaster for an English-language radio station in Prague (that was in the heady days of the early 1990s, when Prague just opened to the West). She holds a master's degree in Czech and English languages and literature from Charles University in Prague.



Prague: The magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, whose image has been mirrored in the surface of the Vltava river for more than ten centuries. Prague is also a modern European metropolis full of energy, music, and art. It's a city of contrasts: Serene green isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city's seven hills are just steps away from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city center. It's a place where different architectural styles stand cheek by jowl, creating an atmosphere that's both intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget once you visit

LOUISE JULIAN

CEO of EF Education

EF Education
EF, which stands for Education First, was founded in Sweden in 1965 with the mission of breaking down barriers of language, culture and geography. In the past 39 years, EF has expanded its programs to include language and business education, cultural exchange, and educational travel. Today, EF has 3000 full-time employees, as well as 23’000 teachers, most of whom work part-time. EF has offices in 48 countries and is the world’s largest independent educational institution.

Louise Julian is the CEO of EF Education, the world’s largest private educational institution. Ms. Julian joined EF in 1985 and embarked on a career path that brought her close to her life-long passions--education, travel, language learning and cultural exchange. Throughout her tenure, she has held positions of increasing levels of responsibility in Italy, France, Sweden, Switzerland and the U.S., culminating with her appointment as Chairman in 1996 for EF Educational Tours, and in 2002 as CEO for EF Educational Tours and EF Language.

A global citizen, Ms. Julian grew up living in Sweden and Singapore. She has lived abroad for 20 years.

Prior to joining EF, Ms. Julian worked for Scandinavian Pacific Institute. She also worked in public relations for Coca Cola for three years.

Ms. Julian received a business degree and a language degree from the University of Stockholm. She also studied French at the University of Sorbonne in Paris. She is a member of the international Young President’s Organization and is fluent in Swedish, Italian, French and English. Two years ago, Ms. Julian achieved a personal goal by hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Ms. Julian lives in Lucerne, Switzerland with her husband Gary, and their three children Sofia, Alexander and Isabella.

In March 2004, the Swedish economics magazine Veckans Affδrer  ranked her Sweden’s Most Powerful Woman. The October 25, 2004 issue of Fortune ranked her no. 35 among the World’s Most Powerful Women.


EF consists of several company groups:

EF Language
Several of EF’s companies are dedicated to the teaching of languages. This can take the form of group summer courses abroad, more formal studies at one of EF’s international language schools either at home or abroad, courses at EF’s online English language school, called Englishtown, or intensive training for the business world.

EF Cultural Exchange
Promoting international understanding through cultural exchange is central to EF’s mission. World peace can only be achieved through a friendly exchange of ideas and ideologies. To this end, EF arranges study abroad programs for high school students around the world. EF also offers an au pair program to American families in need of childcare.

EF Tours
A large segment of EF’s business escorts groups of people around the world to experience new countries and cultures. EF helps educators incorporate travel into their lesson plans, young adults experience new places, and adults keep learning by making the world their classroom. EF Educational Tours is the sole accredited high school operator in the US.

Hult International Business School
EF, through its Hult International Business School, offers an accredited one-year intensive Master of Business Administration. Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Hult School has a 95% international student body, and offers start dates in September and February. EF hopes to be able to eventually offer this American MBA not just in the US, but also at satellite campuses in other parts of the world, as well as online.

Cruise 101  -  Part 3 of 3

Patrick Peartree is the in house council for Travel Talk RADIO. Using his legal background, Patrick brings a fresh look at legal, safety and security issues in the industry.
 

Accessibility
By Patrick Peartree, TravelTalkMEDIA

Representatives of the International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL) together with cruise line officials recently presented Cruise 101, a seminar to discuss current issues faced by industry. This three part series looks at what the cruise line industry is doing in the areas of ensuring passenger safety, environmental protection and accessibility for the physically challenged.

Modern cruise ships are truly engineering marvels, but what responsibility do foreign passenger ships have to comply with the provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) when in US waters?  Cruise ships, although seen by many people as being “floating hotels”, are obviously quite different than land-based buildings and, according to a recent Supreme Court ruling, may require a completely different set of engineering principles.                                                        

In the case of Spector v. Norwegian Cruise Line Ltd, the US Supreme Court reached three important conclusions about how ADA will be interpreted and applied when it comes to foreign cruise ships in US waters. First, the court held that foreign cruise ships in US waters can be held liable to disabled passengers for discriminatory policies and practices. Second, as a general rule, US laws are presumed not to apply to the internal affairs of foreign ships in US waters, and the court held that ADA probably cannot require permanent, substantial structural changes to passenger ships if it would interfere with the “internal affairs” of the vessel. The court broadly expanded the meaning of “internal affairs” in its ruling to include a ship’s basic design and construction. Third, structural changes that could conflict with international treaties or threaten shipboard safety are likely not considered “readily achievable” and might not be required anyway.

Unfortunately, other than setting forth these broad rules and recognizing that there are limits to the structural changes that can reasonably be required on foreign ships under ADA, the Court did not provide much in the way of details. The resulting vagueness of the ruling leaves open much for interpretation. Fortunately, the cruise industry appears to already be doing a great deal to open its doors to people with physical disabilities by retrofitting older ships and designing and building new ships to meet the special-needs passenger market.

Statistics show that one in five Americans has a special need affecting their lifestyles. The International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL), representing 16 of the largest cruise lines in the world, believes that passengers with special needs, and their families and friends, are a vital segment of the cruise industry’s growth. Moreover, a growing number of people the ADA is designed to protect see cruising as a viable vacation choice, perhaps their only practical choice to see the world. The cruise line industry has recently shown a strong desire to cater to those with disabilities, but says it must balance that desire against the cost of making radical engineering changes to existing cruise ships.

Most cruise lines now offer public areas and staterooms large enough for those dependent on wheelchairs including accessible bathroom with railings and emergency call buttons. Braille coded elevator buttons, room numbers, and restaurant menus are also in place on most ships for those with vision disabilities and guide dogs are also now widely welcomed. Many cruise lines provide a TTY, a text messaging device, that allows easier communication for folks with hearing disabilities. There are even some cruise lines that include a variety of tours in the ports they visit that can accommodate guests with special needs.

One thing to be aware of: Nearly every cruise line requests that special needs guests provide advance notification of their requirements at the time of booking to ensure that the necessary accommodations are available.

A trip aboard a modern cruise ship may in fact be the best choice for a person with special needs as well as their friends and family who wish to travel as a group. More and more in today’s competitive cruise markets, people with special needs can truly experience the world and the delights and comforts of a modern floating resort.

Travel Talk Radio believes
T
ravel is a catalyst for creating communication, peace, and commerce among the countries 
and communities of the world. It's difficult to fight with a culture where you have shared a glass of refreshment, 
visited their neighborhoods and experienced their customs. And besides its really fun to get out there and jump on a train, 
bus or plane, walk into a new environment, 
taste new interesting food and talk with the locals. Building memories that are packed 
with experiences of extraordinary places, great people and exciting events are at 
the cornerstone in living a fruitful and harmonious life.
