Carmakers try to keep European sales hot
Article Abstract:
Car sales in Europe have remained strong while sales in Latin America and Asia have declined. Europe's 1998 car sales of 14.3 million is second only to the US' 15 million. The downside to the still-strong European market, however, include consumers who are unwilling to pay more for new cars and recent price cuts, lease deals and rebates who could result in the decline of car prices on a year-to-year basis. European carmakers are focusing on hot new products and cost-cutting measures to ensure their profitability.

Inns, lodges expect a 'boom' in bookings
Article Abstract:
Vermont's legalization of same-sex unions is expected to boost the state's tourism industry and benefit its gay-friendly inns and lodges. Owners of inns and lodges are expecting an increase of out-of-state visitors who will legalize their unions in their state. One inn owner is already receiving inquiries about travel packages that include civil unions. The gay and lesbian demand for travel is considered high because they have fewer children and have more disretionary income for travel.
