My Top 9 Travel Websites To Search for the Best Travel Deals

Washington DC

When booking travel it is important to know where to shop online to find the best deals.  Upon just returning home from Alaska, I was excited to write this article since I used several sites to book my trip in order to save money. In this trip alone, I used 4 different sites! In this post, I have included a few photos from some of the places I have visited over the years.:)

Las Vegas

Travel can get very pricy, but there are definitely a few tips I would like to share as to how to save money when you decide to book a trip.  First of all, I think it is much better to book in advance in order to get a variety of better deals on flights, hotels, and cars.  I recently learned this when travelling to Alaska because I always book in advance and for the first time ever, I booked my flight, hotels, and rental car only 2 days in advance and I got stuck with some crap ...

Nepal: 20 Important Tips for Nepal Travelers

20 Things Every Nepal Traveler Needs to Know

The form of greeting in Nepal is “Namaste” performing by joining both palms together. It literally means “the divine in me salutes the divine in you”.

1 – Do not trek alone. There have been numerous disappearances of solo trekkers in recent years. Always hire a guide or trek with other people. There are online forums where  travelers can look for fellow-trekkers. This applies to everyone but especially women that are travelling single – they seem to more vulnerable. Always communicate your travel plans to your next of kin.

2 – Food safety - Avoid water that is not bottled or boiled. Avoid raw vegetables and pre-cut fruit as much as possible.

3 – Even though Nepal is known for its pristine environment and beauty – not the highways and major city streets. They are crowded with traffic, full of smoke and ... Read more »

"Wowed"

Dear travel friends,

I was only about 8 when I went there the first time.

It took 50 years but I made it back to the Black Hills of South Dakota this year. It was a “Wow!” experience. Let me share why.

Mt. Rushmore is one of our country’s best memorials honoring four of our exceptional presidents. The engineering feats to make the faces are remarkable. We got up close to animals like antelope, buffalo, donkeys and mountain goats.The mountains, needle like rock structures and towering pine trees were a wonder to gaze upon. This was just a sampling.

My wife and I were amazed, refreshed and excited to see these famous places. We were “Wowed”! How about you? Have you been “Wowed” lately?

It’s easy. Just join an upcoming Allied tour. you will have your own “Wow” experiences, from the famous (and not so famous) sights, to wildlife sig ... Read more »

Introducing Nepal

Wedged between the high Himalaya and the steamy Indian plains, Nepal is a land of snow peaks and Sherpas, yaks and yetis, monasteries and mantras.

Mountain Adventures

The Nepal Himalaya is the ultimate goal for most mountain lovers. Some of the Himalaya’s most iconic and accessible hiking is on offer here, with rugged trails to Everest, the Annapurnas and beyond, and most trekking areas escaped with only minor damage in the 2015 earthquake. Nowhere else can you trek for days in incredible mountain scenery, secure in the knowledge that a hot meal, cosy lodge and warm slice of apple pie await you at the end of the day.

Then there's the adrenaline kick of rafting a roaring Nepali river or bungee jumping into a bottomless Himalayan gorge. Canyoning, climbing, kayaking, paragliding and mountain biking all offer a rush against the backdrop of some of the world’s most dramatic landscapes.

Hi! This is Daniel, a native New Yorker and Licensed Tour Guide. Let me tell you about our company and why you should use us for your trip to New York City! New York New York Tours was founded because we realized that there was a tremendous number of people who wanted to come, see, and experience the city but were a little afraid and intimidated by the prospect of the adventure. They just didn t know in what part of the city they should stay where they would feel safe after dark and be within walking distance to the restaurants, shows and attractions. And they certainly didn t want to end up in a nasty hotel or in an out of the way part of town! They wanted to see the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the list goes on, but were unsure of just how to get to those places. They heard how expensive the city could be and didn t want t ... Read more »

New Hampshire Guide

Even if you’ve never been to New Hampshire, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a part of the Granite State in person. Tons of rocks extracted from the state’s largest quarry, Swenson Granite Works, were used to construct the Library of Congress, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Pentagon. New Hampshire’s profusion of sturdy granite lines up nicely with its reputation for toughness. After all, this was the first of the 13 colonies to declare its independence—a trait proudly proclaimed on license plates that bear the state’s motto: “Live Free or Die.”

Another common phrase found on local vehicles is one that reads, “This Car Climbed Mount Washington.” The crown jewel of the Wh ... Read more »

New Low-Cost Airline: PEOPLExpress Tickets Go on Sale

The days of the airline stewardess joke — coffee, tea, or me? — are gone in more ways than one.

Tickets from $59 went on sale Wednesday afternoon for PEOPLExpress. the new airline that seeks to capitalize on the goodwill for the name of one of the first low-budget airlines that disappeared decades ago amid industry consolidation. But with its new a la carte pricing for everything from overhead bin space to coffee, tea and water, unprepared fliers may be in for sticker shock.

All of the airline's flights will be in and out of its hub at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport in Virginia, with only three destinations when it starts flying June 30. The airline's two daily round-trip flights to Newark, New Jersey, will start with base fares from $76 each way; a daily round-trip to Boston will cost $76 each way; and its daily round-trip to Pittsburgh will cost $59 each way.

Things to Know while Booking Chennai to Colombo Flights

It is a fact that air travel has revolutionised the travel industry. Now, people can explore far off destinations in extended weekends or in just two-three days that was unthinkable a few decades back. Along with enhanced technologies and changes in the government policies, new strategies and management techniques also helped carriers in increasing their network and services. This led to the emergence of codeshare agreements and alliances. In this article you can read about these practices followed by airlines that have opened a whole new dimension for carriers. For instance, Jet Airways and SriLankan operate Chennai to Colombo flights in cooperation, giving travellers an option to travel via Bangalore and Kochi, which could have prove to be a costly affair for carriers as well as passengers if operated by any one of them.

There are a number of non-stop services also that do not require coo ... Read more »

New York State Travel Guide

Buzzing NYC is one of the highlights of New York State, but beyond this mega city lie fine beaches, forested mountains, pretty towns and bountiful historical attractions.

A short hop east from Manhattan, Long Island is a popular weekend escape for sweltering New York City dwellers. You can join the likes of J-Lo and Steven Spielberg by snagging yourself a posh summer home in the Hamptons or, more realistically, pitch a tent amongst windswept ocean dunes.

New Zealand Adventure Tours

We challenge you to find a country that packs more untouched, dramatic and diverse scenery into a smaller space than New Zealand. The light here is different somehow, making the fiords, glaciers, rainforest, volcanoes, beech forests and rugged coastlines crisper, brighter and a bit more intense than you'd ever expect.

You'll find yourself surrounded by some of the best scenery on the planet with few signs of civilisation and no one else around. As an independent nation that lies across the Tasman Sea from Australia, New Zealand is home to only four and a half million people. About a third of them reside in Auckland city and the rest are spread out around two main islands, which together are about half the size of California, leaving vast tracts nearly uninhabited. It's no wonder a lot of visitors find it hard to leave!

Introducing New Zealand

There aren't many places on this lonely planet where travellers are so well catered for – in terms of both man-made enticements and splendours of the natural realm.

Why I Love New Zealand

By Charles Rawlings-Way, Writer

As an English-born Australian, every trip to New Zealand presents a mix of landscapes and cultures that's at once familiar and quirkily different. The rolling hills and hedgerows of Devonshire collude with the irreverent, easy-going locals to disarm, distract and delight. Māori culture is potent, the surf is world class, and the beer is awesome! NZ presents the best of old and new worlds with social and environmental sensibility: a template for a new world order? I love NZ!

Food, Wine & Beer

Kiwi food was once a bland echo of a British Sunday dinner, but these days NZ chefs find inspiration in new-world culinary oceans, especially the Pacific with its abundant seafoo ... Read more »

Online travel agencies are not evil – but they are bad business

Jul 23.2014

Great industries are built on great partnerships, and the hospitality sector is no different.

The US hospitality industry, for example, has been built on the partnership of hotel brands and franchisees. In addition, successful partnerships enable growth for all stakeholders, which has been the case for hotel brands and owners over the last quarter-century.

NB: This is an analysis by Vikas Bhakta, founder and CEO of Ve-Go Technologies .

Since the Great Recession of 2009-2010, online travel agencies have held an increased role in the hospitality industry for room distribution.

But, unlike the successful partnership forged between hotel brands and owners, despite what others have said here on Tnooz. I believe OTAs have engaged in business practices that negatively affect not only the hotel industry, but also the communities tr ... Read more »

Travel Writing for

Pleasure and Profit

by Durant Imboden

Part 1:

Opportunities for travel writers

Travel and writing go together like passports and visas. Most major newspapers have travel sections, dozens of magazines are devoted to travel, book publishers churn out guidebooks to destinations great and small, and books by authors like Paul Theroux and Peter Mayle have helped to breathe new life into the long-dormant travel narrative or armchair travel genre.

This doesn't mean that travel writers are getting rich. (In fact, most aren't.) But it does mean there's a large audience for travel prose. You can reach that audience if you know your subject and can bring it to life through good writing.

Introducing Paris

Paris has a timeless familiarity for first-time and frequent visitors, with instantly recognisable architectural icons, along with exquisite cuisine, chic boutiques and priceless artistic treasures.

Iconic Architecture

The wrought-iron spire of the Eiffel Tower piercing the clouds, the broad Arc de Triomphe guarding Paris’ most glamorous avenue, the Champs-Élysées, the gargoyled Notre Dame cathedral, lamplit bridges spanning the Seine and art nouveau cafes spilling onto wicker-chair-lined terraces are indelibly etched in the minds of anyone who’s visited the city – and the imaginations of anyone who hasn’t (yet). But despite initial appearances, Paris’ cityscape isn’t static: there are some stunning modern and contemporary icons too, from the inside-out, industrial-style Centre Pompidou to the mur végétal (vertical garden) gracing the striking Musée du Quai Branly.
