World Of Tourism

Travel to India to find out the real you. We tire ourselves out working hard, all for getting a good life; that life keeps eluding us until we realize that it's an endless cycle. To get out of this trip, the human race has been blessed with nature's bounty. Nothing soothes a stressed mind than the magnificence of nature, and if you are looking for a place that has it all, come to India. A country of contrasting extremes, India has been the answer to countless peoples' quest for peace of mind. The spiritual, the adventurous, the fun loving, and the religious, all find India a perfect holiday destination.

From the lofty snow capped peaks of the Himalayas to the waves of the Arabian Sea, India offers the most sought after tourist destinations of the world. The holiday packages in India take you to the well known as well as the lesser known tourist spots of the country. Starting from the north, the Himalayas are equally attractive to the spiritually inclined and those in the quest for adventure. The region is home to some of the most revered Hindu pilgrimages like Kedarnath, Badrinath and Rishikesh. The Gangetic plain is one of the most densely populated regions of the world, and is home to many famous cities of India like Agra, Lucknow, Allahabad and Varanasi.

The holiday packages in India also include fascinating journeys into the protected forests. National Parks like Bandhavgarh, Sariska, Corbett and Sunderbans offer a splendid opportunity to watch the wildlife of India from close quarters.

History of India is well preserved in its numerous forts and palaces. The magnificent forts at Agra, Delhi and Rajasthan are just the places where you can lose yourself into the glorious past of India.

The long coastline of India on either side offers fascinating beach destinations like Goa and Kerala. They offer a peaceful holiday combined by a multitude of water sports.

The temples and other religious places will also feature prominently in your itineraries when you travel to India. The country has an incredible number of ancient, medieval and modern temples that still carry on the tradition of temple architecture. The famous mosques of the country like the Jama Masjid in Delhi are not to be missed too. Add to the list the famous Buddhist pilgrimages and your tour to India may well turn out to be a journey of self discovery. After all, this is the land where Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment!

To conclude, the natural beauty of this amazingly diverse country has the power to mesmerize any tourist. The serene lakes and their backwaters in Kerala, the slow meandering rivers, the milky white water falls, the lush green tea gardens, gentle slopes of the hills in Ooty, and the coconut lined beaches; all make up a giant, colorful canvas that India is.

The people of the country and their festivals covering an amazing range of rituals also make up the seemingly unending discovery of India. No matter what you read, you have to experience India first hand. The holiday packages of India help you plan your trips efficiently. Find out about them whenever you decide to travel to India

Establishments of the Eurostars Hotels chain in Barcelona, are offering their guests a new value added service. “Walking Tours Barcelona” was successfully introduced in April, coupled with the latest generation MP3 players from Tourism Radio.

The “radio-guides” include over 100 places of interest in Barcelona, such as the Sagrada Familia church, the Boquería market and the Picasso Museum. This allows visitors to discover all that the city has to offer in a pleasantly entertaining manner.

Barcelona, May 4, 2009 - Eurostars Hotels establishments in Barcelona have been offering clients this new and revolutionary service for a month and already have received very positive results: more than 3 000 guests have used this value-added service, 95% of which have given positive feed back. The content of more than 100 points of interest is available in five languages and was rated at level of 8,9 out of 10 in all of them (language used: 35% English, 25% Spanish, 20% German, 5% French, 10% Italian). The most visited places were: Sagrada Familia church, Plaza Cataluña and Las Ramblas.

Jacques Teichmann, CEO of Tourism Radio Group, had this to say, “The user feed back regarding Walking Tours is very important to us in order to maintain a very high level of customer satisfaction. We are constantly improving our services and need direct market feed back to offer the best and most entertaining content to the tourists of Barcelona”, in addition, “It is a pleasure to receive a very positive feed back from the users and see that our value added service is becoming a standard service of our partner. There is no better reference for market success and seeing our partner, Eurostars Hotels, growing.”

The system provider, Tourism Radio, has achieved a strong market position, in a very short period, in one the most visited cities in the world. Offering this easy-to-use service makes the stay for the tourists an even more enjoyable experience.

TourismRadio is the first GPS radio transmitter in the world with offices in Spain, New Zealand, South Africa, Namibia, Northern Ireland and Hawaii. In addition to the Walking Tours, the company has GPS devices designed for rental cars and which offer location based tourist information in several destinations. In fact, the development of the MP3 players is the result of a market research study carried out amongst the users of the car device who requested being able to live the same experience on their walks. Next launch of Tourism Radio service:Tenerife (Canary Islands), July 2009.
