Even when on vacation, it’s hard for a travel editor to stop working. In May of 2012, my family embarked on an 11–day Italian adventure, including stops in Venice, Lake Como, the Cinque Terre area, Pisa, Florence, and finally, Rome. Needless to say, I kept jotting down notes and little tidbits of advice to bring home with me—and share with all of you.

#10 Sites For The Best Airfare Deals

For whatever your airfare needs may be, there is a growing corral of consumer portals for searching available flights and getting deals.

The Golden Ticket worth every penny

I magine without hesitating, you could fly to Paris, just to catch the latest exhibition at the Grand Palais, pick up a friend who needed a lift from Milan, maybe swing by the Greek Islands for dinner and be back home the next morning in time for breakfast.

#Travel Brochures: Highlighting the Setting of a Story

OVERVIEW

Imagine the images and detailed descriptions of the places depicted in a book you’ve read recently—whether a far-away land, a historical location, or a city just like the one you live in. Settings transport readers to these places, inviting them to consider what it would be like to visit these locations personally. This lesson plan takes that imaginary tourism one step further by asking students to create a travel brochure for locations in texts that they have read. The activity requires students to think about and collect the details mentioned in the text that should be highlighted and conduct additional research on the location as they design their own brochures.

This lesson plan uses Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko as the example; however, any text in any genre would work well.

#Travel booking sites: No turning back the tide

No turning back the tide

Jun 4th 2015, 16:30 by B.R.

WHEN it comes to internet booking, many airlines do not see their interests as being aligned with those of travel agents. Airlines would much rather customers book flights directly through their own websites. For a start, it saves them paying a commission to an agent. It might also mean that flyers have not bothered to compare prices against their competitors, so there is less need to offer a bargain. Just as importantly, it makes it easier for carriers directly to sell add-ons, such as better seats or priority boarding, which are becoming increasingly important to their bottom lines. Still, most airlines begrudgingly accept the role of meta-search engines and online travel-agents. After all, if a lot of potential customers use them, it makes sense to put their best fares in front of as many people as possible.
