travel, hotel and booking Information

Hotel Booking Despite increasing school enrollment and suffocating traffic on some of Hunterdon County's main roads, the most important issue in the rural county is not school taxes or Route 31 construction and traffic.

Travel Agency At the county's first "State of the County" address yesterday, Freeholder Director Marcia Karrow warned that the new Highlands legislation would have the most impact on the county in the near future.

The Accor Corporate Contract, available only to businesses, lets you save time by booking hotels at net rates adapted to your volume while optimizing your travel costs.

And according to Jupiter an increase in managed corporate travel bookings travel is one of the reasons why the amount of travel booked on the web is set to jump. It believes the desire for cost savings will push companies to make their employees purchase their travel online, rather than just use the internet for travel research and information.

Flight Booking The forum, presented by a panel of four, was hosted by the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce and was designed to inform local business owners and residents about the status of the county, in relation to traffic, legislation and economics.

And your travel details can easily be changed at any time over the telephone, without having to produce a paper ticket or visiting a ticket office.

Travel Agent Karrow discussed the issue with the 50 business owners, residents and local officials who attended the meeting. She said she feared the legislation will not help eliminate growth but that towns will be left with a "swatch of green surrounded by housing with forced growth."

The savings figure is based on an internal study comparing the price for travel for two passengers of booking a flight and hotel together using priceline.com's Vacation Packages to booking the same hotel and similar flight itinerary (same travel dates and origin and destination cities) separately on priceline.com. The Vacation Package price yielded a savings of up to $325 over the separate prices of the same hotel and similar flight itinerary.

Hotel Chicago The Highlands, which cuts across seven northwestern counties and holds the water supply for half the state, has come under increasing development pressure that scientists say could threaten water quality in the future. Fifteen of Hunterdon's 26 municipalities are part of the Highlands region, Karrow said.

Those important watershed lands take up 395,000 acres, roughly half the Highlands. Much of the core is already preserved or developed, with about 145,000 acres privately held. There is strong debate over a key provision that would allow large development proposals within the core that have already won some approvals to go forward.

Travel Health Insurance "Hunterdon County has done a very good job of preserving the northern part of the county," Karrow said. "I'm not saying this bill is bad, what I am saying is that we need to be paying attention to it and it's bad the way it is being pushed and the way it is being handled."

Hotel Reservation Karrow also spoke about this year's budget, which she said was the most "fiscally conservative" and the best budget passed in 11 years. She said that the county is in a good position for the future because for the last four to five years, the freeholders have been putting millions of dollars into surplus.

London Hotel Booking "This year we increased our surplus amount by $6 million," Karrow said. "Since 1998 we've even been putting in $7,500 a year so that in 2014 -- when Hunterdon celebrates its tri-centennial -- there will be $100,000 for the big party."

Discount Travel John Glynn, director of the county roads, bridge and engineering department, outlined several county and state traffic projects underway and planned for the future.

Orlando Hotel According to Glynn, the Route 31 construction in Raritan Township should be completed by December. The pavement repairs on Church Street in Flemington should be completed by June, while the proposed circle improvements have been pushed to 2008 by the Department of Transportation. Renovation projects on Exit 15 in Clinton Town include three designs, all of which will improve capacity off Route 78 and onto Route 173, Glynn said.

Booking Agency "Traffic has grown at a rate of 2 to 4 percent and most of it is outside (people) coming through," Glynn said. "We all want to preserve the lifestyle and the ambience, but we have to provide safety on the roads."

International Travel Medical Glynn also said that the DOT has pulled the Route 31 bypass project -- an issue that will be addressed at a May 25 freeholders meeting. The issue of a potential park-and-ride in Clinton Township has yet to be explored, but officials said they are opposed to Hunterdon carrying the burden of a large 1,000-car metro center for neighboring counties and Pennsylvania.

Travel Medical Insurance Suzanne Lagay, president of the county Chamber of Commerce, said she hoped yesterday was the beginning of an annual effort to update people on the state of the county.

Miami Hotel "It's meetings like this that are the most important thing that we do," Lagay said.
