Universal Vacations announced Monday they are offering a brand new iPad to one of their fans through Facebook, the offer is valid through June 30th 2011, anyone who clicks on the Universal Vacations fan page between now and June 30th will be entered into a draw for the brand new Apple iPad 2 which is being launched this Friday by Apple. 

Universal Vacations offer Fort Myers vacation homes, Fort Myers Beach rentals, with offices in New Port Richey, Sarasota/Bradenton, Fort Myers Beach and from its head office in Fort Myers.

Here is a quote from Apple CEO Steve Jobs at last week’s iPad 2 launch  “last Wednesday that 2011 will be the “year of iPad 2“. That may be true, but there are also a number of other tablets either currently being sold or slated to launch this year like Xoom and Galaxy Tab. All of this is giving PC makers concern as a report from Gartner is saying demand for PCs in the next 2 years will weaken”

Don’t miss your chance to own one of these fantastic tablets.

Gary Young president of Universal Vacations, the leading provider of vacation accommodation in South West Florida, is pleased to announce that contracts have now been secured and signed with Booking.com and New World Travel through until the end of 2012 to supply both single family homes with pools and also the luxury condos featured from Universal Vacations Beach office.

Both Booking.com and New World Travel market South West Florida to the European markets most notably in Scandinavia, Poland, Germany and the Netherlands.

“for many years now foreign travelers predominantly from Germany have been coming to Fort Myers” noted Young “partly down to the direct flights which come in from Berlin but with addition of direct flights now from Copenhagen from June 2011 this is opening up our destination even further to the Scandinavian markets” he added.

The climate is perfect here and in complete contrast to that which is experienced in northern Europe at this time of year and the Scandinavians and northern Europeans are well known for their love of beaches and the sun.

The extra tourist will no doubt give a further boost to the local economy in the way of tourist tax dollars and Universals continued partnership with the Lee County’s VCB is opening up more markets across the globe
