Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

More and more baby boomers are taking their retirements overseas, and low-cost Ecuador is today’s hottest destination, says Dan Prescher, an editor with InternationalLiving.com. A record number of attendees have registered for International Living's upcoming event in Ecuador.

“Ecuador truly is a retirement paradise. It has one of the world's best climates, lowest cost of living, a retirement program that will save you thousands of dollars a year and top-notch medical care at up to one-tenth the cost of the U.S.

“Really, Ecuador would be a fascinating place to live at any price,” says Prescher. “But here, a couple can live the lifestyle of the rich—hopping back and forth between a beach pad and a mountain hideaway as they choose—on less than $940 a month.”

And boomers are not just dreaming about retiring to Ecuador. They’re doing something about it. On June 1, International Living opened up registration for its Fast Track Ecuador: Lifestyle and Opportunity Conference to be held at the Swissotel in Quito, Ecuador.

242 people have already registered to attend the conference, scheduled for August 2-4. The event features two-and-a-half days of presentations by InternationalLiving.com editors, Ecuador experts, real estate sources, business contacts, expats and professional legal resources.

The goal of the conference is to help future retirees learn more about living, buying property, starting a business, or investing in Ecuador. Ecuador has been International Living’s top retirement haven in the world for four years running.

Registration is still open for International Living’s Fast Track Ecuador: Lifestyle and Opportunity Conference, and the number of attendees continues to rise. The event capacity is 350 attendees. For more details: "Fast Track Ecuador: Lifestyle and Opportunity Conference".
