This past Sunday June 7, 2009 EyeTour made the cover of El Nuevo Día - Puerto Rico’s biggest newspaper and online news source.  The headline on the frontpage of the paper read: ‘Cómo convertirse en empresario: Consejos prácticos para tiempos difíciles’ which translates to ‘How To Become An Entrepreneur: Practical advice for tough times’.  The inside cover of ‘La Revista’ (a Sunday edition magazine segment) read: ‘Contrátese usted mismo: Cómo y por qué crear un negocio en tiempos de despidos y renuncias incentivadas’ or ‘Employ Yourself: How to and why start a business when people are getting fired or given incentives to quit’.  We wanted to share some of the images with all of you who don’t live in Puerto Rico or couldn’t get a hold of a copy (because they flew off the shelves, hehe! ;-P).  We’d also like to thank Eliván Martínez Mercado for taking the time to interview us and for making us a part of such a great story, and Ángel M. Rivera Fontanez for making us look pretty good on the cover!

We woke up today (June 4, 2009) to the magnificent news that EyeTour was featured on El Nuevo Día, Puerto Rico’s best-selling newspaper.  The article celebrates EyeTour.com’s recent Best Website WebAd Award 2009 victory in the Sales and Marketing Executives Association of Puerto Rico yearly Internet Forum event.  If you have a hard copy of today’s paper on hand, turn to page 41.  If you don’t, you can read the news here (link in Spanish).  We’ve also prepared an English version of the article for non-Spanish speakers.

We want to thank once again the entire team for all their hard work and dedication to the project: Pablo, Adrián, Gabriel, Sherman, Danette, Mariano, Gerardo, Andrés, Jacob, our friends at the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, Rums of Puerto Rico, Comercio y Exportación, INTENE, Grupo Guayacán, CompraoAlquila.com, ML Studio, and all the others who’ve allowed us to make our vision a reality.  It is because of them that you are able to sit back, relax, enjoy EyeTour videos and BE YOUR OWN GUIDE!

Also, we want to thank all of our Facebook fans and especially the Twittericans, who’ve shown their overwhelming support for the project since EyeTour opened its account a few months ago.  Thanks for all your kind words, motivation, and support!  We hope to celebrate and share many more victories in the near future with all of you!
