subject: Travel Websites Good Source Of Travel Information [print this page] Travelling and researching for a place to go to are the things that I love. The thought of a new destination makes me want to buy a guidebook. But when it comes to the natty gritty of finding a hotel or homestay, searching for a cooking class or just gauging the opinions of real travellers with no vested interest in selling books, I turn to the Web.
As I sip my cup of tea, I sit in front of the computer clicking on links that lead me to interesting blogs, chat boards and forums which I will be faced with in my next spare hours. After purchasing my tickets to Madrid and Marrakech for my tip this fall, I went online to search a package for country walks and visits to Berber family homes lead by a Moroccan ecotourism group. A traditional Moroccan house in Marrakech and a B&B near Madrid's Plaza Mayor as well as a family owned raid are the places wherein I was lead by the guidebook listings. I booked both directly on their Web sites, but not until I read the reviews posted on a travel website. Helpful websites just come and go which is why I made this list of my most liked sites. Travelers creating reviews in this site wrote about millions of reviews in over 190 countries about hotels and other types of accommodations. To prove the validity of guidebook recommendations, this is a good place.
Also, it is helpful for finding small inns or B&Bs not included in guidebooks. Also, I like the links to traveler advice forums and to articles about various destinations. I don't believe others when they say that hotels and competitors write
This website contains posts created by travelers years ago. Outdated information may be partly the source of overall ratings but you should base your judgment on the recent reviews. The real price differs from the year round average price that the site lists for each hotel. My emails are filled with dozens of lodging details, but they are mostly for hotels that have gone from over the top expensive to simple.
Travelers write blogs and stories on the Website telling about good places to go to and affordable hotels which in turn encourages independent travelers to have fun, be open minded, and have a thirst for adventure with a willingness to share. Looking for a place on where to stay and finding out the best outfit for your Europe trip can be best discovered if you read the latest summer travel tips on the Website. But if you haven't heard of Plodiv, Novi Sad or Tirana, then forget about this site. If your list contains these other Central and Eastern European cities, you would know how fast things are changing.
This site provides the exact location on where to get a cold beer in Odessa or where to buy a copper coffee set in Sarajevo. The site provides free comprehensive online versions of the printed guides that are sold. Printing went out in awhile but the online production increased vigorously with a dozens of articles about working and volunteering abroad and tips for tapping into the local culture.
Stories concentrate on family travel, low cost independent and how to travel responsibly. Three airline search sites that are useful are here. If prices drop, this travel site should be visited for its system of tracking airfares and emailing alerts. If you've already bought a ticket, they will let you know if you're eligible for a credit from the airline.
The site is a very convenient venue for information such as low fare rates, prediction on when prices will drop and websites for booking, for all you have to do is to give your preferred date and destination. The price prediction feature works only on selected routes. This Website proves that you can avail of low rate airlines in going between foreign cities. Look for the country and city that you would want to go to then select it, afterwards, a list of destinations containing links to discount airlines that serve them will appear.
