Vagabond Media LLC Launches Exclusive Latin American Travel and Retirement Website with AmericanVagabond.com

(PRWEB) August 25, 2007 -- Vagabond Media LLC, a privately held e-commerce investment firm based in Phoenix Arizona, announced the launch of AmericanVagabond.com. American Vagabond is a tourism and lifestyle website serving the needs of U.S. citizens residing in Mexico and the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The site has also been designed to provide travel and tourism information and advice for people looking to visit, live, volunteer or invest in those countries.

Unlike traditional travel sites, American Vagabond is an internet distribution company which includes deals with the best-known names in travel. They are able to research prices and locations and post the best values because of their frequent travel to and intimate knowledge of Latin America. On the website, consumers won't find the typical flight or hotel search engine, where they have to search and compare prices. Instead, the best deals to the top destinations are already published, and all consumers have to do is select from displayed listings.

As an online research tool, American Vagabond delivers qualified travel options from the web, giving priority to destinations and locations that have been hand-selected by its experienced staff. By using American Vagabond, consumers can now find all things Latin America travel related with areas of interest, eliminating the need for consumers to sift through pages of irrelevant results or visit web sites that may not be reliable. It provides filtered, authoritative recommendations on the top hotels, attractions and events in this dynamic region and highlights the best travel opportunities.

Bill Deegan, Vagabond Media's CEO, said American Vagabond is positioned to be the "go to" distribution site for tourists and investors as well as the American expatriate community and potential U.S. expatriates. "We are seeing more and more U.S. citizens retire and invest in Mexico, Costa Rica and our six other Central American focus countries. We are there to help serve their travel, investment and expatriate retirement needs.

We are excited to add American Vagabond to the group of growing travel web sites that comprise Vagabond Media LLC. The creation of this new site highlights the strengths of the Vagabond Media LLC platform - specifically our technology and travel industry relationships developed over our years of travelling internationally - and our ability to identify and exploit niche markets," says Mr. Deegan.

Brenda Saenz-Alvarado, American Vagabond's editor and a native and resident of Guatemala, added that American Vagabond is also the pre-eminent online destination for travel and tourism information

"Our goal is to focus on attracting the Latin America traveler, American expatriates and future expatriates. We are confident that we will attract a new customer to American Vagabond that is currently researching through other online travel portals and the airlines directly," says Ms. Saenz. "American Vagabond is for people looking to stay for a few days or forever."

Vagabond Media LLC has secured advertising affiliations with several international companies including American Airlines, USAirways, Marriott and Hotels.com. The initial launch includes reviews of top hotels and locations in Mexico and the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Remaining themed markets will be added in the coming months.

Vagabond Media LLC hired Bijoumind Design, LLC to design the American Vagabond website using their successful user-centered design which provides a personal experience with easier navigation for the consumer. Vagabond Media LLC also used Bijoumind Design's Search Engine Optimization to achieve many top placements in Google, Yahoo! and MSN, which resulted in a dramatic increase in business. Bijoumind Design developed a powerful website that reflects American Vagabond's brand and style accompanied by outstanding graphic design to provide them with a commanding presence on the internet. "This website will help American Vagabond achieve a significant online Latin American travel presence," states Beth Bijou, Principal at Bijoumind Design.

Vagabond Media LLC maintains significant equity interests in several "Vagabond" branded e-commerce websites currently under development. Future plans for the American Vagabond family will include international lifestyle websites. The company has also entered into negotiations to introduce a line of casual travel clothing and fashion accessories under the Vagabond label and to produce an adventure travel television series.
