China Tourist Attractions
2008-09-19 07:11:00 One of the things I truly love about blogging on China is the interesting people I meet. One of those is Eutak (Tak for short), a software guy from Singapore who spent many years working for Microsoft here in the Pacific Northwest and then in Beijing. Tak and I share a love for running/walking/biking around Green Lake here in Seattle and, more importantly, a reverence for the baked goods from Hiroki's bakery and for great sushi everywhere. Tak has an excellent China tech blog, called, appropriately enough, China Tech Blog, of which I am a regular reader. This blog focuses on "Chinese Internet, software, and information technology." Tak also has a super cool Web 2.0 site called funtouristattractions that really nicely sets out tourist attractions, historical attractions, cultural attractions, restaurants, hotels, nightlife, architecture, and shopping on interactive maps of Shanghai, Beijing, Qingdao, and Shenzhen. I checked out Qingdao on the site and was hugely impressed (...

Spain aims for year-round tourist industry
2008-06-06 02:00:00 Owners of investment property in Spain could soon find they have a healthier rental income in the winter months, if plans announced by industry minister Miguel Sebastian work. In a speech delivered on Thursday, Mr Sebastian outlined measures to combat the impact of the credit crunch and economic slowdown on Spain, reports Thomson Financial. The two key strategies he detailed were moves to encourage more people to buy new cars and efforts to increase tourist numbers. Tourism is already a vital sector of the Spanish economy, with thousands of visitors from across Europe heading to its beach resorts and the cultural centres of Madrid and Barcelona every year. However, Mr Sebastian insisted there is room for improvement, adding: "We need to make tourism less seasonal." His masterplan to do this involves running campaigns to persuade more retired people to holiday there in the winter - a move which could mean people with investment property in tourist resorts are able to c...
Japan Makes Way for China Tourist Money
2008-06-05 16:43:00 From my vantage point on my recent visit to both China and Japan, the signs are clear. China is coming. And Japan knows it. Major department stores like Takashimaya Co. Ltd., Sogo Co. Ltd. and Mitsukoshi Ltd. are gearing up. In places like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, they?re seeing a new wave of power shoppers at their counters - the Chinese. A few short years ago, this was unthinkable. Yet, as my wife and I strolled through downtown Kyoto, we saw it too. Most major department stores have added Chinese signage to the usual Japanese and English placards. We heard it, as well, from…

The Best Tourist Site You've Probably Never Heard Of
2008-05-15 23:07:00 I've talked before about what it takes to really be an American. Here's another example:A pessimist looks at a giant rock that's fallen on a house, and hopes nobody got hurt.An optimist looks at a giant rock that's fallen on a house, and figures the owner will now get a new dream house.An American looks at a giant rock that's fallen on a house, buys the house, and begins selling souvenirs.Or, if you're the American who writes "The Best of Everything," you missed your chance to buy the house with the giant rock on it, but you take your wife there for Valentine's Day.The legend has it that Maxine Anderson of Fountain City, Wisconsin, had just finished taking pictures of a remodeling project in the house that she and her husband Dwight shared when a sound like a railroad train full of tornadoes* (*that's my phrase. I made it up) surrounded her, and she got out just before a 55-ton boulder crashed into the middle of their house.55 tons. To put that in layman's perspective, if y...

Dubai tourist trade set to grow
2008-05-13 02:00:00 The overall number of people travelling to Dubai is set to go up this year, experts have predicted. A report by Globalysis revealed that visitor numbers in 2008 are likely to be eight per cent up on those recorded 12 months earlier.

Furthermore, it stated that its "high-quality tourism offerings" are becoming increasingly attractive to "globally-minded" holidaymakers. Commenting on the findings, Jason Pereira of Globalysis observed: "The performance of Dubai's travel and leisure sector in 2008 has been favourable and the outlook moving forward remains bright." Meanwhile, Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing has revealed about seven million people booked accommodation in the region during 2007. The organisation has predicted that in two years time, this number could possi...

Egyptian tourist accommodation to be in demand
2008-04-30 02:00:00 Owners of rental accommodation in Egypt could be set for a lucrative summer, new figures suggest. Research by Cheapflights.co.uk shows that interest in the resort of Sharm El Sheikh is currently 50 per cent higher than it was 12 months ago. The current weakness of the pound against the euro has been cited as one of the main reasons for this increase, as it has made many European countries expensive places to visit. By contrast, exchange rates with Egypt are much more favourable, which means holidaymakers are able to get more for their money if they travel further afield. Francesca Ecsery, general manager of Cheapflights.co.uk, commented: "The 50 per cent increase in interest shows that value for money is a key consideration for UK consumers." The findings also mean that tourist accommodation in Egypt is likely to be in very high demand during the peak holiday season. This comes after currency specialist Travelex stated that leisure travellers are becoming "incre...

Families head to traditional tourist hotspots
2008-04-24 02:00:00 Rental investors could find high demand for their services in mainland Europe this summer. According to a poll by MyChild.co.uk, about two-thirds of parents in the UK are planning to take their children abroad with them during the school holidays. Research showed that Spain was the clear favourite among this group, although France was also found to be rated highly. This suggests that owners of rental accommodation in family-friendly tourist destinations could be set to see considerable demand this summer. MyChild.co.uk also revealed that ongoing economic problems such as the credit crunch are not putting consumers off foreign travel. Denise Roberts, resource manager at the group, commented: "Families are increasingly seeing the family holiday break as a necessity rather than a luxury." This comes after Reuters cited official figures showing that during the first quarter of the year, Spain attracted 10.6 million holidaymakers.
