After all, it&#8217;s easy enough to book an airline flight reservation. Why shouldn&#8217;t you also do your own booking for a car rental, hotel, or even a cruise? Here are five reasons why you should leave your vacation planning to a professional, full service online travel agent:</p><p><strong>1. Terrific Deals</strong></p><p>You can do your own booking, but you won&#8217;t necessarily get a low far or the best deal. Airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and cruise ships count on people to make their own reservations and charge higher rates to those who do. Yet they don&#8217;t really make a profit until they&#8217;re completely booked.</p><p>Think of hotel rooms, airplane seats, and cruise ship cabins as perishable commodities. Just like an expired carton of milk has to be pulled off the grocery store shelf, on any given night, an empty hotel room is lost revenue that will never be regained. Similarly, an airplane is going to fly and a cruise ship will embark whether or not the seats and cabins are full. It&#8217;s in the best interest of hotels, airlines, and cruise ships to be fully booked. That&#8217;s why they offer discounted fares to an online travel agent, who can then pass along the savings to you.</p><p><strong>2. Full Packages</strong></p><p>A full service online travel agent can put together package vacations to destinations and hotel properties to which you might not otherwise have access. Perhaps you&#8217;re a golfer, and want a dream golf vacation. Maybe a Caribbean vacation is on the horizon. Or maybe you are looking for the perfect cruise package. Although it&#8217;s sometimes possible to book travel packages with the destination, you often don&#8217;t get the options that best meet your needs. An online travel agent can put together packages that work best for you and your family.</p><p><strong>3. Great Service</strong></p><p>When you go the do-it-yourself route, it&#8217;s often difficult to coordinate all aspects of your travel. Making sure that your flights depart and arrive at optimal times, that your hotel reservation is in order, that your car rental will be available, and that you&#8217;ll have everything in order to board a cruise ship is no walk in the park. An online travel agent can do all the legwork for you so you can concentrate on preparing for your trip. And, if you have a change in plans, the great service that an online travel agent provides can make the transition a smooth one.</p><p><strong>4. Group Travel</strong></p><p>Extended families often travel together, and businesses have group travel requirements from time to time. In either case, a full service online travel agent can easily book trips for people who have the same destination but who are traveling from different places. Having a group travel coordinator gives everyone peace of mind and ensures that the group&#8217;s needs are met.</p><p><strong>5. Honeymoon Registry</strong></p><p>If you&#8217;re planning your honeymoon, an online travel agent can provide you with the latest trend in wedding gifts: the honeymoon registry. When you register with a full service online travel agent, your guests can contribute funds to your honeymoon, or they can buy specific services (such as a spa treatment or a romantic breakfast in bed) that you have on your wish list.</p><p>While it&#8217;s possible to book travel yourself, why would you want to? After all, the advantages in using a full service online travel agent are limitless.</p><p><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"><img src="http://escape2mars.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://escape2mars.com/travel/5-reasons-to-use-a-full-service-online-travel-agent/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Kerala Tour – Fascinating Trip to South India</title><link>http://escape2mars.com/travel-destinations/kerala-tour-%e2%80%93-fascinating-trip-to-south-india</link> <comments>http://escape2mars.com/travel-destinations/kerala-tour-%e2%80%93-fascinating-trip-to-south-india#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:09:18 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Robbie</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[travel destinations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Accommodation Facilities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arabian Sea]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Astounding Beauty]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cochin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Enchantments]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Houseboat]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kasargod]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kerala Beaches]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kovalam]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kumarakom]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leafy Trees]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leisure Vacations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pristine Beaches]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rich Heritage]]></category> <category><![CDATA[South India]]></category> <category><![CDATA[State Of India]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Time Experience]]></category> <category><![CDATA[True Beauty]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wildlife Parks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[World Class Accommodation]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://escape2mars.com/travel-destinations/kerala-tour-%e2%80%93-fascinating-trip-to-south-india</guid> <description><![CDATA[With what word shall I describe this beautiful state of India, cocooned at the azure and ever ending shore of the Arabian Sea?

Businesses that rely on tourists say more customers — but not free-spending ones — are coming through their doors.</p><p>Ami Ben, owner of Paradise Beachwear in the seaside tourist town of Old Orchard Beach, is glad to see crowds back after incessant rains and a bleak economy kept visitors away last summer. Still, he said, many customers are looking only for discounted deals, and a lot are paying by credit card because they don&#8217;t have the cash.</p><p>&#8220;There are more sales, but less profit,&#8221; he said.</p><p>Tourism is northern New England&#8217;s biggest industry, drawing tens of millions of visitors each year. In Maine, for instance, tourism pumps $10 billion to $13 billion into the state economy each year and employs 140,000 workers, which is nearly 22 percent of the state&#8217;s work force, according to the Maine Office of Tourism.</p><p>Unlike last year, this summer has been warm and sunny in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, while states to the south have been downright hot — driving many people northward in search of cooler ocean and mountain breezes.</p><p>Tourism-related businesses were only &#8220;cautiously optimistic&#8221; about the summer tourism season after last year&#8217;s flop, said Vaughn Stinson, chief executive officer of the Maine Tourism Association. But once the season got under way, visitors came in droves, he said.</p><p>&#8220;About the middle of July, it took off like a rocket and it hasn&#8217;t slowed down since,&#8221; Stinson said.</p><p>In Maine, the number of vehicles passing through Maine Turnpike&#8217;s toll plaza in York — a barometer of tourism traffic — rose 3 percent in June and 4.5 percent in July after a down year in 2009.</p><p>Hotel occupancy rates have also increased across the region. Compared to a year ago, occupancy rates in July were up 12.3 percent in New Hampshire, 10.7 percent in Maine and 5.2 percent in Vermont, according to Smith Travel Research Inc. of Hendersonville, Tenn.</p><p>Restaurants have reported upticks in business, as have other businesses that cater to tourists.</p><p>At Polar Caves Park in Rumney, N.H., visits are up 20 percent for the season. The park&#8217;s gift shop has sold out of stuffed polar bears and souvenir kid-size T-shirts, said general manager Rob Arey.</p><p>The park usually attracts 700 visitors a day on average in August, but the count has topped 1,000 several days this month, he said.</p><p>The Bar Harbor, Maine, region got a boost — and free publicity — when President Barack Obama visited for three days in July. Several businesses have told Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chris Fogg that this is their best season in a decade.</p><p>But although the number of tourists have increased, business owners aren&#8217;t ready to say times are great.</p><p>Bob Smith, owner of the Sebasco Harbor Resort in Phippsburg, Maine, said guests nowadays are looking for rock-bottom prices and aren&#8217;t afraid to say so. They also tend to make last-minute vacations — often based on weather forecasts — rather than plan them out months in advance.</p><p>&#8220;Now people will call one month, one week and even one day before they want to come,&#8221; Smith said.</p><p>Customers seem to be more tightfisted with their money than in the past, said Paul Carney, owner of Old Orchard Beach Airbrush, which makes airbrushed T-shirts, hats and other items.</p><p>&#8220;They might not be spending money on steak — they&#8217;ll buy hot dogs and hamburgers instead — but they&#8217;re still spending,&#8221; Carney said.</p><p>At Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks, a maple farm and cross-country skiing center in Montpelier, Vt., that draws about 60,000 visitors a year, owner Burr Morse said sales are flat compared to 2009.</p><p>&#8220;But my gut feeling is that there&#8217;s been a lot more traffic of individual tourists,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Our yard has been full since early summer, especially in the afternoons with cars with out-of-state plates.</p><p>&#8220;I guess that would translate to there&#8217;s more tourists and they&#8217;re spending less,&#8221; he said.</p><p>In Old Orchard Beach, Jeremy and Sarah Girard of Smithfield, R.I., said they&#8217;re guarding their money on vacation. They eat the inclusive breakfast at their motel and carry juice boxes for their 3- and 6-year-old children while out for the day to avoid buying drinks at a store or restaurant.</p><p>They decided to come to Maine for a vacation after reading about the state&#8217;s beaches in a magazine article.</p><p>&#8220;Getting away is so important to us because we&#8217;re so busy in our lives,&#8221; Sarah Girard said.</p><p>___</p><p>Associated Press writers Lynne Tuohy in Concord, N.H., and John Curran in Montpelier, Vt., contributed to this report.</p><p> <span> -<br /> About the Author:<br /> Nike Joshon is an author who would like to introduce you something about fashion, like the trend of Women Bags, line of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nikeou.com/">Nike Shoes</a>, poplar kinds of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nike-football-shoes.net">Nike football shoes</a>.

Well it&#8217;s not too hard because there are many hotels in Bangkok whether you want to spend a lot or a little money. However should choose a hotel that has a guest friendly policy.</p><p>There are many hotels in and around Bangkok&#8217;s 3 red light districts. But not all hotels will allow you to invite ladies or lady boys working in go go bars back to your hotel room. Actually they do, but you have to pay a joiner fee &#8211; which ranges from 500 Baht and up. So the right course of action is to choose a hotel with a guest friendly policy.</p><p>Many automatically assume that a hotel that won&#8217;t charge joiner fees is some kind of seedy run down hotel with shady characters as guests and hookers knocking on doors every night. This is not true at all. There are many types of guest friendly hotels with affordable rates and even most of the 5 star hotels are too.</p><p>Some popular budget guest friendly hotels in Bangkok even include free breakfast in their room price, such as the Majestic Suites, Paradiso Suites and Woraburi Sukhumvit Hotel and Resort.</p><p>And if you can afford to pay a bit more then you should consider staying at the Majestic Grande, Landmark Hotel and JW Marriott.</p><p>All of the hotels mentioned above are found right in a red light district called Nana. It is one of the best areas to stay in because there are train stations nearby as well as many businesses that cater to foreign tourist. Another bonus is that Nana is not too far from Soi Cowboy which you can easily walk to.</p><p>There are also many clubs and beer bars in Nana too where you can find freelancers roaming the streets.</p><p>The other 2 red light districts also have guest friendly hotels too but since Nana is where most of the action is at then it is also the best place to stay. Just remember that these hotels are popular with business travelers, newly weds and even families traveling together. So it is best to book these hotels in advance.</p><p> <span style="font-size:90%;font-style:italic"> -<br /> About the Author:<br /> Visit <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bangkokguestfriendlyhotels.com" title="Guest Friendly Hotels Bangkok">http://www.bangkokguestfriendlyhotels.com</a> for a list of popular hotels from budget to luxury that don&#8217;t charge joiner fees.<br /> Jim Hunt is an expat living in Thailand.

Do you feel guilty for not being able to spend vacations with your family? You need not worry any more. Studies have revealed holidays are very important for both physical and mental well-being of a person. Apart from being an important bonding time, holidays also reduce the risk of heart ailment and other stress-related illnesses by up to 32% in a large number of cases.</p><p>Holidays are actually the only time during the busy schedule of the year that the whole family can spend some quality time together, share thrilling experiences and create new memories that would last a lifetime. Tours also provide plenty of excitement as visitors not only get to see new places but also get to meet new people belonging to varied and interesting cultures and ethnicities.</p><p><strong>Holidays are as essential as sleep</strong></p><p>Leading psychotherapists say that a holiday away from one&#8217;s home is as essential as sleep. Research has revealed that people who do not go on holidays face some drawbacks like difficulty in thinking clearly, or acting unfalteringly, absorbing all information effectively and exhibiting an inability of seeing a situation in its completeness.</p><p>The physical impact of staying away from holidays is also upsetting. People those who fail to make complete use of their vacation time are seen to have a lower pliability to disease and are often unable to protect themselves against infection. A study conducted in 1992 revealed that women who went on vacation only once in every 6 years or so were about 8 times more likely to develop cardiac ailments than those who took vacations at least twice a year.</p><p>The other reason to consider travel for an absolute holiday experience is the significance of what you may call a &#8216;real relaxation&#8217;. Numerous tourists who travel to far off places effectively overlook the trials and tribulations of their daily lives and, instead of getting tensed about tasks that require doing for the house, their entire concentration lies on what is the next on their holiday agenda.</p><p>If you think, you are like one of these people who love to travel, you are just a click away from visiting you favorite holiday sites.

It is a pleasure, indeed, to take up a Rajasthan tour package as the desert state of India is immensely vibrant, dynamic and colorful.</p><p>Once upon a time, Rajasthan was nothing but many small and big princely kingdoms together.
