Travel

Travelling is a great hobby and passion for many of us and people all over the world too.travel be it local and/or international gives us a great experience in terms of knowledge, knowing different cultures, people, habbits, lifestyles and lots more and a also broadens ones mind mentally to a large extent to be a better, informed, experienced and a happy human being too. There is a lot involved in travelling specially when it is international travelling. just to mention an order international travelling requires information to be gathered and research to be done on the place one is so heading too for travel and also then the approximate monetary budget that would be required for the same, which involves many things including staying, i.e.lodging and boarding expenses, passport and visa arrangements, to and fro i.e. return air fare tickets, foreign exhange to be taken along, for any additional expenses while on tour like eating outside, shopping etc. Besides credit cards, travellers cheques, prepaid forex cards which are now available in the market which allow different currencies to be held in it for international use abroad, which can be carried along with by the international travellor and nowadays most of the people use plastics i.e. credit cards too as also mentioned once in a newspaper article as per resecrh done worldwide on the same. Some of the international aspects to make international travel good and successful following are some important suggestions. One should buy a good travel guide like the international travel guides like the Lonely planet series, the lets go series, the insight guide series, the rough guide series, the time out series and many such more travel publications so available in the market, which are very well versed in detail with travel information, cheap accomodation guidance, photographs of important places to see and visit, maps, diagrams, the ,local tube, train, bus, air travel information of that place and lots more too. The other important aspect of international travel is the tourist visa to be obtained for travel to the respective country, like in USA they want all the tourists to come for a physical interview at the USA consulate personally with their travel plans and personal details etc and may require to see the family baground, three year income tax returns, purpose of visit, financial and socil ties here or/and many other things that the visa officer may consider to grant a tourist visa to theb travellor as by default they assume all tourist visa applicants i.e. a type on non immigrant visa category to be intending immigrants and it is the tourists responsibility to prvove to the visa officer their own genuine travel intensions and genuinity and that they will return back to their home country after the end of their travel abroad for sure, and only upon this the tourist visa is so granted to tourists accordingly. UK has a system where one is suppose to submit the application with all supporting documents and details and the visa is issued or refused depending on the visa issuing officer and if they want further clarification or ifnormation they may call the applicant for a personal interview and grant or refuse a visa finally. There are many places like Bangkok etc, whcih have visa on arrival too and a travel visa to japan is very cheap too. One should as far as possible get the ECNR i.e. immigration check not required stamp off the passport if any by submitting a graduation pass academic proof or and if submitted at the beginning of making the passport initially itself the ECNR check stamp will not appear on the passport and the need for getting it removed will not have to be done later as it will have taken care of from the beginning itself. Though foreign travel as a tourist may not require the above as such but it is better sought for to show the applicant/travellor is of a better status individually as such in terms of prcuring a travel visa to any country is concerned. The best way to avoid all the hassels involved in international travel is to gop through a good travel company and one should select a good reliable reputed and well experienced travel company to pursue ones own international travelling plans. A good travel company will handle all the travellors needs very well and provide world class quality service at a very economical or/and at a very reasonable price too and will have a good brand name and reputation in the market place too. They will also provide for good accomodation, food, sight seeing facilities in terms of many places that would be covered and an informed and experienced and well versed tourist guide too to take care of the travellors very well all throughout the travel tour from start to the end. Sometimes normally good travel companies give good travel discount offers during some seasons and things like early bird discounts, additional free travel packages like buy one and get another one free offer type etc. Travel is very well highlighted by the travel company through their brochures, information and travel consultants in their offices/branches spread all over india etc, and they can be contacted through phone, email or/and better personally too by the travellor. Tentative travel dates can be provided by the travellor well in advance and the information on the availibility of things like train, plane, ship tickets the total cost of travel can be ascertained from well before so that the travellor can make informed plans and arran gements too accordingly. Generally for international travel, the earlier the bookings done it is better and cheaper and mostly the same applies for local travel plans too. There are off season timings where the travellor can get cheap deals too like for example for Goa, India, the rainy season period is the off season and the peak season is kind of from October, November onwards till March of the next year or so. One should follow the guidance, information, rules and regulations and do`s and dont`s so prescribed by the travel company to the travellors as that would be in the best interest of the travellor and also the duties, resposnibilities and services that are committed by the travel comapany to the travellor for the respective tour booked by the travellor. Today travel information and the market fopr travel has become very big and competitive too with lots of information and deals available online etc, but there are advantages and disadvantages to almost everything so generally speaking as one gets a better sense of safety and security and thus more advantages too than disadvantages by going through a good travel company for sure. Today independant bagpackers just go on a budgeted travel are also on the rise but theyb are usually youngsters and singles and some in friend groups who would just manage and go by anything, anywhere, anytime and anyhow in their travel at their own risk too, but if one is travelling with family or even with freinds or even if alone, it is still good and recommended to go through a good travel company. As the travel industry locally and internationally gets more and mmore competitive with the travel industry growing well too in leaps and bounds, the travel company should provide with the latest updated information to the customer/prospective travellors and also give them maximum quality product and service at a very economical/competitive and affordable price. Travel mostly for leisure purpose should be done with good planning and well in advance which can best be left to a good travel company. For leisure travel some good Indian places to travel are Goa, Bombay, Pune, Rajasthan, The Taj Mahal-one of the wonders of the world, Kashmir, Shimla, Darjeeling, Matheran, Mahableshwar, Ooty, Mount Abu, Mahabalipuram, Chennai, Bangalore, Gujarat and many such more spread across all over India. We do see a lot many foreign tourists too travelling to see all these places and many more in India regularly with the numbers just keeping on increasing by the year. The Indian Government is also committed to making India a bigger tourist destination and trying to woo international tourists more and more by the year and the future times to come. Internationally for leisure travel few of the best places are like USA, UK, Europe, Australia etc. In USA there are good tourist places like New York city, the city that never sleeps as we all know it or/and the big apple as many call it too world over, Florida, California, Las Vegas-Nevada, San Fransisco again in california itself, Mexico, Chicago, are few of the best tourist places in USA. There are special places like Disney land in Florida Orlando and the grand Canyon in Phoenix Arizona and a lot many such more in USA which tourists from world over come to visit and the statue of liberty in New York one of the wonders of the world too. Besides UK-London, in Europe there are good tourist places like Amsterdam, Ibiza, Spain, Majorca and Mellorca, Switzerland, Germany, Itally, Venice and lots more too. Internationally some other well known tourist places are Australia, Cape town-Africa, Canada, Hong Kong, Macau, China, Japan, Hawaii, The Carribean islands, Bali, Bahamas, Fiji, New zealand, Mauritius, Dubai, Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, Malaysia, Phillipines are some other recommended international destinations too. A very good value for money deal for a first timer international travellor, would be a cheap good economical 4 to 5 days package tour to Pattaya, bangkok along with free one day coral island tour in pattaya so included too and also other such economical ones for 4 to 5 days or a week or so are to Dubai, Mauritius, Fiji, Hong Kong, Macau, etc. Thus international travelling is a very rewarding, thrill and experience and even more if doen through the right and good travel company. A good travel company will alson give a feedback form to its customers as or after their trips are over with, and thus always look at improving its services for the customers henceforth thereon as the customer isn always King and a loyal customer would come back and also a satisfied customer would spread the good word and thereby increase the Goodwill and standing and reputation of the travel company in the marketplace too. Cruise ship travel as add ons and seperate deals have also become the attraction and order of the day now.

On local and international travel a good travel company can provide for some freebees like caps, T-shirts, bagpack type of bags, sling bags etc with the company name on it as a brand promotion and also to make the customers/travellors more happy from the begginning of a group tour and also a good information session caan be had at the travel company`s office, a day or Two prior to the departuregiving more information and solving any queries and doubts if any of the travellor and also taking suggestions for the better of all from well before and in time and also the travel company can give some last minute guidance and tips for safety and happy journey ahead for all. All tourists should carry regular needful accessories like torch, Camera, some saftey regular basic medicine, travel insurance etc, on their tours and keep their passport/visa documents very safely and handy too all throughout their journey. A good tour guide so appointed by the travel company should be well versed in terms of knowledge and experience and should manage to entertain the group tour people by making them play games, sing songs etc during some bus travel or free times available in a tour generally and also heshe should manage to handle some urgent/emergency situations well too. Once bitten by the travel bug there are many people in the world who would like to see and visit and explore every good place in the world atleast once in their lifetime and the very passionate ones would say they would like to visit each and everyb place in the world too. A lot of people are inspired by international locations and places shown in Hollywood and bollywood flicks too, and go ahead to make their travel plans to such places accordingly. Newspaper advertisements and other social media network platforms can be well used by good travel companies to promote their business and cater well to the everchanging and ever increasing travellors and the needs of the travellors from time to time. Many who travel alone on their own and who also know a foreign language like Spanish, french etc, would prove to be very helpful to them in their travel abroad as per the respective place and their usage accordingly and nowadays technology too plays a good role there as there are translator devices in cell phones which can help translate anylanguage for anyone at the touch of few keys only and also help travellors in terms of Maps through GPRS for walking tourists or tourists travelling byb rented car in a new or/and foreign location etc. And also in case of an emergency the cell phone would be of great help and also more so to explore and lead better while on a tour etc. Businessmen and corporates expand their business mmore so after having being travelled well and got better ideas by travelling to some or many places too. When some professionals who talk about mixing business and pleasure, the pleasure aspect is often related to travel nowadays. Travel is practised in some schools, colleges and international universities too as some universities have travel to few countries for their students to complete a course who generally have international campuses and thus giving their students and international exposure in otdays world of Globalisation thereby providing the students a Global and wider prespective in their goals in life. So thats how travel has touched the education sector too besides leisure and bsuiness travel so known world over already. There is sports tourism, Medical tourism and Entertainment industry tourism that have also flurished well by now over a period of years. Travel has made the world even smaller as one can reach from one place to another very soon due to better transport and communication though, it is when one willingly travels with his/her own spirit and desires be it for leisure, business, education, hobby, passion or any reason for that matter its travel which has made many things in life good, better and best and a lot possible for the better of all in thisn world today. Slogan/customer theme that can be shared more so verbally to customers : There are many good tour operatinng companies today in India like Thomas cook, Cox and Kings, Kesari tours, D`Pauls, Mercury travels, SOTC, Veena world and a lot many more but Veena world is a class apart so come one come all and experience the difference of travel for yourself. The same can be used in a slogan and for advertisement sans the compititor names as such too. One thus often greets a person about to travel - Bon Voyage in French which means Happy Journey.
