Buenos Aires Boom in Short-Term Apartment Rentals
Since their 2001 monetary crisis, Buenos Aires has been experiencing an ever-expansive boom in tourism that has driven the short-term apartment rentals, for visitors. Rising hotel room rates and easy internet browsing have made this urban vacation option increasingly attractive for many world travelers who yearn to spend less and live more like locals--even if only for just a week.
For these adventurers, Buenos Aires apartments are an attractive and cost-effective substitute to stay in a hotel. At your vacation apartment you can relax just like home, with friends or in blissful solitude. Enjoying your private oasis in the city with the stimulating "sea of humanity" just outside your tranquil door. Becoming a temporary client/friend of the neighborhood businesses/restaurants; savoring the daily hunting/gathering of fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, breads, wines and cheeses, in the extremely local family markets; relaxing in your barrio's gardens and parks as you synchronize your rhythms to those of Buenos Aires in your beautiful, rented pied-a-terre.
Unfortunately, of course, the local color can fade on occasion: appliances break; deposits are embezzled; etc. So, with this recommendation comes a clichéd caveat: Let the buyer beware. Make sure that your rental agency is reputable and honest. This task, of course, is much easier said than done and one should make sure to read and listen to as many trustworthy sources as possible, before choosing the one right for you. Be sure to do your homework in advance and give yourself plenty of time to make the right choice.Then, of course, the remainder of your visit will flow more easily.
So, why do vacationers rent when they could be ordering room service?
Top reasons to rent Buenos Aires apartments :
1. The allure of experiencing life, however briefly, as a local: Of course, many people travel the world just to stay in the same place, no matter where they are but, for those who would rather savor the true flavors of a culture, a cuisine, a language, even if only briefly.......nothing is better than living in the neighborhoods and "hangin' with the homeboys". Choosing your BA "hood" is the fun of it!! Let your agency help you find what's best for your lifestyle.
2. More Space and Privacy: Hotel rooms, even with daily maid service, become crowded quickly. How to get away from your insomniac roommate? A snorer? The party next door? Find a spacious, fully furnished, two bedroom loft in Buenos Aires. With an open kitchen plan and outdoor balconies, you and your family can spread out and be comfortable with little effort.
3. Convenience of cooking for Yourself: Even with the 3-1 exchange rate between the dollar and peso, restaurant meals, in BA, can become expensive, depending on where one eats. Also, the pleasure of shopping for and cooking with fresh local ingredients, accompanied with fine, Argentinean wines, in your own home, on your normal schedule, can be both indescribable and more economical, as well as the best antidote to fight the daily routine of eating out during vacation time.
4. Save Money: Renting an apartment in Buenos Aires can equate to a 50% saving on Buenos Aires hotels of the same standard.
Choosing to short-term rent an apartment in BA is something distinctive in a world of sameness. It draws the line distinguishing the value of individuality from mass production. It is the most natural way to approach the rich, Buenos Aires culture and can be one of the most unforgettably wonderful travel experiences of your life!!!
As long as the requirement of hotels rooms remains strong and the dollars stay relative powerful compared to the argentine pesos, the demand for Buenos Aires rental apartments will continue to be robust.

The best reasons to invest in Romania
1. The economy becomes stronger and stronger
The statistics are showing that Romania has the fastest growing economy in the EU after Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
After the major changes Romania has been through since the 90’ with the big achievement in 2007- entering to the European Union, Romania kept getting stronger and stronger.
2. Fast growing GDP
GDP (purchasing power parity) has reached US$$197.3 .
It is growing and growing with more then 20% per annum. This rate is definitely setting Romania as one of the largest economies in Eastern Europe.
3. More foreigners are coming to invest!
Foreign direct investment (FDI) which started to gain popularity in 2001, has been growing extremely fast reaching over €5,000 million in 2005, and more the €8,000 million in 2006.
Major Companies from all over the world have been coming to invest in Romania in the last few years and among them also private investors who feel it’s the right time to invest.
Most of the FDI – 55%, is still in Bucharest.
4. Falling Inflation
2005 also saw inflation fall to a record low of 7.5% from dizzying heights of 22% in 2002, and it is expected to fall to 3.8% by 2007. With inflation under control, this will inevitably lead to more confidence in the property buying market.
5. Increasing Employment
Unemployment fell to 6.2% in May 2006 (less than 3% in Bucharest) which is lower than that of many more developed European economies. The rate keeps getting lower and lower.
Romania has a leading role in attracting FDI Eastern Europe. In 2005, out of the total EUR 10.4 billion in FDI attracted by countries in the region, Romania received half of these inflows.
6. EU Funding
Romania gained the most substantial funds in terms of EU funding per capita between 2004 and 2006. For the years 2007-2013, Romania will receive an additional €30 billion, the highest allocation of all the new EU member states.
Most of these funds will be invested into the local infrastructure such as - road, hospitals, schools, bridges etc. The EU funds will also assist in this case in creating more jobs and therefore more potential customers who are looking to buy/rent properties. As far as it looks…the boom is yet to come!
7. The tourists are coming!
The tourism industry in Romania is becoming more and more important. In 2006 – the incomes were more then $8 billion from tourism with only 7.4% annual growth forecasted over the next ten years (Source: World Travel and Tourism Council).
8. Estimation for total increasing (based on the salaries increasing 14% per year)
We already witnessed a dramatic growth in the employees’ minimum salary in Romania.
The salary increasing is not over yet…the estimation is a continuing growth of the salaries of 14% per year.
For now the Romania average salary is almost 15% of the average EU salary.
If Romanian wages and salaries continue to increase by this average (as they have done during the previous 6 years),the percentage will double around every six years. In order for wages to rise to the current level of the EU average, it will take 29 years. That is assuming the euro wages increase by 5% per year and Romanian wages increase by 14% percent over the same period.
These trends will create in addition to the growing employment an growing need for properties in Romania.
The EU average monthly salary is currently €2,400 per month.
9. Romania has the lowest tax rates in the European Union.
In 2005 the Romania Government introduced a flat rate of only 16% for income and corporation tax
This tax is helping Romania to become more attractive for foreign investors who seek new business locations.
Recent fiscal reforms have helped Romania to become more competitive and have also served to push the property market – and promote Romania as a modern low tax country.
10. The best prices per SQM in the area!
It continues to amaze us…when a land is sold at amazing prices again and again.
In the local reality here at Romania, it is perfectly reasonable that you will buy a land for 200€ /sqm and sell it for 600€/sqm after 3 months. No matter the price tag you will put on your property – it will be sold and fast.
If you still need more reasons to come and invest in this paradise…

Koh Samui, a Tropical Paradise
Picture an island nestling in the calm, azure blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand fringed by coral reefs with beaches of powder soft white sand framed by a backdrop of coconut trees, their fronds dancing in the gentle breeze. The palms stretch upward to the central uplands, thick with lush tropical vegetation. The coast and lower slopes are awash with coconut palms making Koh Samui the ‘Coconut Capital of Thailand’. It is said the island sends 2,000.000 coconuts per month to Bangkok. This green vista is interspersed occasionally by black granite boulders. Some of these rock formations appear to defy gravity by hanging dramatically against the hillside. This tropical paradise is called Koh Samui. A 250 square kilometre rounded island which is about the same size as Penang.
Koh Samui translates from Koh, the Thai word for island, and Samui, which is probably derived from the Chinese “saboey” meaning safe harbour. The magic island first came to the attention of world travellers when it started to crop up in conversation in many of the cheap hotels that then clustered around Bangkok’s Hualamphong Railway station some 45 years ago. It was difficult to get to, requiring special negotiation with fishermen in Suratthani lying 80 kilometres across the sea on the mainland. When you reached the island, there was no road and so those intrepid voyagers hopped from beach to beach by boat. In the past forty plus years things have changed hugely.
The island is now served by an international airport that looks more like a botanical garden than the accepted tradition of functional ‘air station’. Flights leave hourly for the new Suvarnbhumi Airport in Bangkok and link the island to additional destinations such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Pattaya and Phuket. A 52-kilometre road rings Samui and links all the major towns. Nathon the capital plays host to government buildings and banks and serves as one of the ferry ports serving the Thai mainland. The road skirts the 635-metre mountain that sits centrally astride the landmass and takes in the main resorts of Lamai and Chaweng. Lamai is the smaller of the two and offers a quieter and perhaps cleaner beach. The latter caters for, perhaps, a younger and more energetic visitor. Further on lies Bangrak is better known as “Big Buddha Beach” as it takes its name from the huge Buddha statue at the eastern end of the bay. Borphut boasts a trendy fisherman’s village, much favoured by French tourists and Maenam to the north offers spectacular views across to Koh Phangan and the Ang Thong Natural Marine Park. This area is much less crowded than the bustling Chaweng and the marginally quieter Lamai. It still retains its original Thai flavour. However, to get to grips with authentic ‘Samui’ you need to rent a car or motorbike and take one of the many roads that lead up away from the coast and into the mountain. As you climb higher you come to rubber plantations and hidden away villages clustering around paddy fields, still hanging onto a traditional way of life that is far removed from the tourist dominated hotels, resorts, restaurants and bars that cluster around the coast.
Samui has over the years developed a reputation as centre of complementary medicine offering spas designed to detox inhabitants of an overstressed globe. The Health Oasis Resort located adjacent to the unspoiled Bang Po Beach to the west of Maenam offers stunning views across to Koh Phangan. Sit in the authentic vegetarian restaurant after six p.m. and turn your head to the west you will witness spectacular sunsets over the islands that comprise the Ang Thong National Park. Health Oasis is unique in that the Thai Department of Health lists it as a traditional medicine hospital. It specialises in supervised detox and fasting treatments.
Be sure of this, whatever your tastes Koh Samui will be able to provide a venue for a holiday that will linger long in your memory. So if you are planning a trip of a lifetime whether it be for tourism or health this magical island is a venue well worth considering.
