“Pulse on America” to feature Greater Naples/Marco Island, FL

By Anonymous



Deerfield Beach, FL July 10, 2004 -- Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Collier County’s Greater Naples/Marco Island, FL area for its innovative, educational television series, Pulse on America, to be aired through cable operators market by market on CNN Headline News. The segment will feature the appeal of the area for conventions and meeting planners featuring “Corporate Retreats.”

Hosting corporate events has never been easier or more enjoyable. Southwest Florida is home to some of the best amenities available for corporate retreats and large meetings and conventions. Getting there is a breeze via one of the three nearby airports, including Southwest Florida International Airport boasting over 20 major airlines.

Why it’s a retreat becomes evident: The area is surrounded on one side by the sparkling azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico and immaculate white sand beaches, and it is on the doorstep of the Everglades, filled with natural old-Florida wonders and wildlife.

Warm waters and tropical breezes may cause temporary business amnesia, but one can’t help but notice that Collier County offers not only the natural wonders, but also championship golf courses galore, fine shopping and wonderful dining, and the “island experience” of visiting Marco Island. There are more than 30 hotels with meeting facilities to serve every need. Ranging from small, private inns with 30 rooms to large luxury suites with over 700 rooms, there is a place for every business and every budget. Meeting facilities vary, ranging from 30 to 2000-person capacities.

There is also an extensive local network of companies ready to assist with services and amusements, from limousines to yachts, zoos to museums. The pride and joy of Collier County is the Convention and Visitors Bureau, to assist guests in the area, and they will have you coming back for more next year.

Considered “Florida’s last paradise,” the area offers a quieter, more relaxing setting than some of the major cities, while still featuring many activities and cultural events. From sandy beaches to Everglades, fine dining to fine art, 60 or 600 guests, Collier County has something for every taste. The wide range of facilities, services, and activities makes it an excellent choice for any corporate event. According to Jack Wert, executive director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the area offers “a winning combination for the perfect retreat setting.”

Pulse On America, aired through partnerships with major cable companies, can be seen regionally on CNN Headline News in spots twice an hour, at :25 past and :55 past the hour. Pulse on America will enhance the lives of viewers by offering practical, reliable information on innovative solutions to make life better.
