The Life Mag: Destination.Switzerland: Mountain Drive; Unrivalled Backdrop for Round of Golf

Birmingham Evening Mail (England) (Mon, 19 Nov 2001) Byline: JASON WHITE SUCH is the splendour that Switzerland affords the European traveller that any discernible change to its landscape would quite rightly be frowned upon. The mere mention of this most archetypal of Alpine resorts prompts imagery of snow-tipped mountains, scenic pastures and cosmopolitan cultures that dovetail seamlessly. My recent visit to this country, which boasts a population of just eight million, confirmed all of the above, and gave me an insight into an additional string being added to the burgeoning bow - that of golf. Many ascribe the continuing tourist success story of Switzerland to skiing and skiing alone, and there's

Daily Mail (London) (Fri, 03 Jan 1997) Byline: SEAN POULTER THE happiest holidays are those booked through small tour operators, a survey suggests. They offer a level of customer satisfaction many of the biggest names in the travel business cannot match, it claims. Leading companies - currently under investigation by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission - are given the thumbs down in a study by Holiday Which? Poor accommodation, unhelpful representatives, a failure to deliver on brochure promises and last-minute changes to travel or hotel arrangements were cited by the 11,685 readers questioned by the Consumers' Association magazine. The complaints put `big guns' such as

Peter Hardy Assesses What Is Left on the Ski Slopes at Easter

Daily Mail (London) (Sat, 20 Mar 2004) Byline: PETER HARDY WARM sunshine and the best spring snow across Europe for at least five years are expected to draw thousands of extra lastminute skiers and snowboarders to the Alps over the Easter holidays. If you haven't already booked, it is not too late. Plenty of accommodation is still available - some of it substantially discounted - although flights are becoming limited. The huge amount of snow that has fallen this winter means that where you choose to go at this stage of the season is not as dependent as usual on altitude. However, obviously the best conditions will be found in the higher Alpine resorts such as St Anton, Chamonix and

Chicago Sun-Times (Sun, 19 Oct 1997) GENERAL: Costa Rica (pop. 3.5 million) is a small country with a surprising variety of terrain and climate zones. The Central American nation covers less than 20,000 square miles, less than half the size of the state of Virginia. It is bordered on the north by Nicaragua and to the south by Panama. Both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea wash its shores. Costa Rica has great appeal for ecotourists: Scientists have counted about 850 species of birds (including 50 kinds of hummingbirds), more than 200 species of mammals (ranging from sloths to jaguars), 10,000 species of plants (including 1,400 kinds of orchids), and almost 1,000 species of butterflies.
