			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the limitations of traveling to Africa is the slow pace with which its travel industry has in embracing the use of technology. Many would be travels today are more comfortable on making a payment by use of a credit card for the following reasons</p>
<p>1. At the top of the list is the fact that i can pay for it now look for the money and 30 days later refund the credit card company.</p>
<p>2. It is less cumbersome as traditional methods of payment require one to go the bank and transfer the money while a credit card payment can be done from my home or desk-top</p>
<p>3.It is thus much easier and faster to finalise the transaction.</p>
<p>4. I can then say it cost less in terms of time and money as opposed to traditional ways since you do not have to queue at the bank, burn fuel to get there and then make phone call follow-ups.</p>
<p>5. Credit card payment is today a much safer way of transacting since a third party &#8216;the merchant’s involved. It is for this reason that a number of African organisations are quickly taking up this idea of enabling credit card processing on their website and acquire a competitive edge against those who have not yet done the same.</p>
<p>A few websites in Kenya, Egypt and South Africa are already offering holiday makers an easier way of booking their accommodation and saving time spend calling hotels and agents to get bookings. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to meet new people, find a mate, increase your awareness, experience personal growth, lower your blood pressure or just relax. TRAVEL!<br />
You can try an all-inclusive resort that will give you the safety of communal living, yet flexible enough to provide you with a detail experience of your chosen destination. You can increase your experience encounters by signing up for tours offered by your resort. These mega resorts offer tours for shopping, sightseeing, night life, educational and adventure.<br />
If you would rather travel to 2, 3 or more cities then a cruise may be your best choice. There are single cruises that are high end, (meaning they won&#8217;t make you feel like you are on the prowl)!<br />
Safety is a serious issue and should not be taken lightly. Listed below are 15 tips to increase your safety factor:<br />
1. When you check into your hotel, give your Bellman a $5.00 to $10.00 tip. Tell him your name and ask him a question about your stay at the resort, Keep this conversation, brief and professional<br />
2. Use the Hotel safe for money, your travel documents and jewelry. If you use your room safe, be sure you know how to operate the safe properly.<br />
3. Always try to originate your cab ride from your hotel. When away from your hotel try to avoid asking strangers for directions. If you get lost or need help, go to the nearest Hotel (the larger the better) and ask for help at the Front desk!<br />
4. Select your &#8216;return trip cab&#8217; with caution and always be aware of your surroundings<br />
5. Invest in a body purse or use a money belt.<br />
6. Do not flash cash, foreign or domestic. If you are not sure of the money exchange, it is OK to leave a little extra money on the table.<br />
7. When meeting people during your travel, do not give out your hotel room number. Meet people in the lobby or have the Hotel operator connect them to your room.<br />
8. If you decide to go out with a suitor that you meet while traveling, have him/her pick you up at your Hotel. Find your Bellman, and casually mention that you are going out with one of the locals and ask a question about where to go? (The Hotel does not want anything to happen to you, because then who would pay the bill?)<br />
9. ALWAYS remember to BE SAFE in personal or sexual encounters. Don&#8217;t get caught up in the moment! At least not in a foreign country.<br />
11. Remember, if you are an American, you could be a target! OR, they may want to marry you so they can move to the US. (Note: In Egypt men are legally allowed to have three wives)<br />
12. Wait until the last day before your departure before giving out your home address or telephone number. (You would not want this information forwarded to a professional thief while you are away on vacation)<br />
13. Try not to break anyone&#8217;s heart.<br />
14. If you get into trouble, contact the nearest US Embassy.<br />
15. Leave a detailed itinerary with a friend or relative at home. Check in with this family member or friend often during your vacation <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Croatia is a beautiful land that extends from the farthest eastern edges of the Alps in the northwest to the Pannonian lowlands and the banks of the Danube in the east. Its southern parts extend to the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Croatia is indeed unique, not only for its crystal clear, clean blue sea, but also for thousands of years of different cultures that have influenced it. Though the cultural heritage of Croatia may not be as famous as the cultural heritage of some larger and mighty countries – such as grandiose monuments as the pyramids of Giza in Egypt or the ruins of Pompeii in Italy or the Neuschwanstein Castle in the German Alps – still, many visitors will be surprised by the number of cultural heritage sites under UNESCO’s protection in relation to the country’s relatively small area. One cannot help but be awed with wonder at Croatia, “The Mediterranean as it once was.”This week Euroscape Travel takes you through the many exciting tours in Croatia that will surely help you explore this unique area of the Mediterranean. Specially selected tours include: the North Adriatic Sea, 8-day tour from Zagreb starting at $1600 per person; the new tour National Parks where you move around cities for 8 days from Split spending from $1922 per person. The Dalmatian Island Tour, an 8-day tour from Split, is also a good alternative; or the Grand Balkan Tour spending 13 days from Zagreb. The Dalmatian Sunshine, 9-day tour from Dubrovnik, is always a good option. You can also enjoy a nice and relaxing cruise by taking the Natural Wonders 15-day cruise from Zagreb and only from $7274 per person. Accommodation deals in Croatia now include: Hotel Central, a 3-star property from $100 per person per night and Hotel Palace, a 4-star property from $148 per person per night, both in the city of Zagreb. In Hvar, we’ve specially selected Hotel Riva, a 4-star hotel from $132 per person per night and Hotel Adriana, also a 4-star hotel from $244 per person per night. We’ve also selected hotels in Dubrovnik: the Villa Argentina, a 5-star property from $154 per person per night and finally Hotel Stari Grad, a 3-star hotel from $156 per person per night.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The travel insurance market is no different but you need to be ‘savvy’ in your search and the increasing number of price comparison sites can often be a hindrance rather than a help.  Why is that?  Well, simply these sites highlight the ‘headline grabbing’ figure, not to mention that many only show insurance providers that pay them a commission, so the consumer is often given a confusing and false picture.</p>
<p>So can you find ‘cheap travel insurance’ on the internet?  Most definitely, yes, but you do need to check that what is being offered will provide you with the cover you need.  When looking for cheap travel insurance, there are some simple rules to apply.</p>
<p>Do your homework.    Firstly, know what you want.  Are you looking for a policy to cover you for just one trip or if you are going to travel more than once, then why not consider an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy instead?  That could save you money over the year.</p>
<p>Read the policy schedule.  Most internet sites are good at giving an instant quote &#8211; that is what they are designed to do but fewer provide easily accessible information to indicate what the policy covers.  At the very least you should look at the policy schedule.  This is the table that shows the level of cover against various risks.  Choose a policy that satisfies your needs.  The areas that cost the most in a travel insurance policy tend to be cancellation, personal effects and medical cover.  If you are booking long in advance, then cancellation cover is a must (normally around the �3000 figure is sufficient) as this safeguards you if you have to cancel because of, say, a close family illness or being called for jury service, to name but two examples.  If however, you are taking a last minute holiday, then perhaps cancellation cover is not as necessary so you could reduce your premium considerably by choosing a policy with limited or no cancellation.  Likewise, reducing your baggage cover can see your premiums nose dive.  When it comes to medical cover, the FCO recommends a level of �2 million as being more than adequate, so do you need to buy the policy that offers �10 million?  This is another example of ‘gold plating’ a policy which will attract a higher premium.</p>
<p>Check the small print.  Very few of us take the time to read the small print but the ‘devil is in the detail’ for sure.  Ask yourself some key questions.  Is where I want to travel covered by the policy, for example, is Egypt in Europe or Rest of the World as definitions do differ from company to company?  Am I covered if caught up in a terrorist incident?  Do I need to produce a police report if I have money or personal effects stolen?  What about hazardous activities? Am I covered to bungee jump on my trip for instance?  Make a list of simple questions relating to your trip and then check the policy.</p>
<p>So is there such a thing as Cheap Travel Insurance  Most definitely there is but the simple rule of thumb is that the cheaper the policy, the more restrictive it is likely to be.  But you can help yourself by knowing what to look out for and wherever possible tailoring your insurance to your exact needs and that way make your travel insurance cheaper.  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost everyone has heard travel horror stories. From robberies to scams, it is important to be informed about what to possibly expect on your luxury travel vacations. The most common stories of being ripped off abroad involve currency, purchasing &#8220;priceless artifacts&#8221; and being trapped by taxis. Take a look at these common ways people are either overcharged or ripped off, and use these strategies to stay in control of your money!Currency Fraud<br />
One of the most difficult parts about traveling to other countries is using foreign currency. There are several ways to handle this issue; the most important one is to be somewhat familiar with the exchange rate. For example, one Euro is the equivalent of $1.50 USD. Also, be familiar with what the local currency looks like. A common tourist scam is being approached in the airport or in front of a hotel by what appears to be a fellow tourist. They may wish to exchange some of their &#8220;left over&#8221; currency for dollars. They may attempt to sell you counterfeit currency, or offer a high rate of exchange. Do not be taken in by such people. The only safe way to exchange currency is through a bank, your local American Express Office, or the purser aboard any luxury world cruise.Purchasing Antiquities<br />
When traveling to countries with rich ancient histories on a luxury travel vacation, you may be tempted to take a piece of it home with you. In countries such as China, Egypt and Britain, there are a number of licensed and unlicensed antiquities dealers that will offer to sell you some of the greatest finds of the century. But buyer beware, even experts can be fooled by fakes. Not to mention that most countries do not allow exports of most pieces of their country&#8217;s history. So, if you did purchase the find of the century, you will probably not be able to take it home. If you are dedicated to taking something home with you, go to a well-known and licensed antiquities dealer. Your tour guide or cruise purser should have the best recommendations. Be sure to ask the right questions, such as delivery options, legality issues and get a receipt of sale. For more information on the latest AMT American Express Travel exclusives check out http://www.amtvacations.com/american-express-exclusives.html.Taxi Fraud<br />
Most travelers get around their destinations via taxis, unless they are on a guided excursion from their luxury world cruise. Most taxi drives know this, and can spot a tourist from a mile away. They know you are unfamiliar with the exchange rate, the going local taxi rate and unfamiliar with the area. They may overprice their rate to take advantage of your ignorance, or take a more scenic route in order to run up the tab. Some may not run a meter at all and tell you a high flat rate. You can avoid being taken advantage of by asking the going rate before you step into the cab, and an estimate of how much to get to your destination. If there is no meter, do not get in. They might not be a legitimate taxi service, and may take you somewhere unless you pay them off. Do not hesitate to try another taxi if you think you can do better. Suddenly, the price might change to something more reasonable if you threaten to look elsewhere.<br />
The first step in avoiding becoming involved in any of these scams is to be aware and informed. For help with your next luxury world cruise visit http://www.amtcruises.com.<br />
Now that you are armed with information and strategies to avoid becoming involved in these situations, you are ready to face your luxury travel vacation without fear. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Deciding on when to book is a bit of a gamble. While many tour operators will offer cheaper prices and early booking discounts, you may find that last minute deals are also available which will prove better financially. </p>
<p>There are many factors that you should take into account when deciding on when to book for maximum financial gain:</p>
<p>Are you flexible in terms of dates that you are prepared to travel?</p>
<p>Are you flexible in terms of destinations that you are prepared to travel to?</p>
<p>Will you be buying a package deal or will you be building your own package?</p>
<p>Are you considering a popular destination where many tour operators or flight companies travel?</p>
<p>Flexibility Is A Plus</p>
<p> Firstly, if you are flexible in terms of location and dates then you will almost certainly benefit from waiting until the last minute to book your holiday. Last minute deals are, of course, something that you cannot rely upon and if you are set on going to a certain destination at a certain date then last minute is far too risky. If you are planning on creating your own package then youneed to be aware that you are taking multiple gambles. For example, you need to consider your airfare, hotels and transport. Whilst you may get an excellent last minute flight, you may not be so lucky when it comes to the hotel or car hire. In fact, you may find that paying a premium for other parts of your holiday will end up out-weighing any last minute savings you have made. </p>
<p>If you are looking to travel to Europe, this is the time to do it! Flights are a lot cheaper during the spring months when temperatures are still relatively low.</p>
<p>Mexican beaches and the Caribbean islands start to see their prices drop from mid April as the weather becomes hotter. However, during the spring months, the water and air temperatures are still pleasant and the resorts less crowded</p>
<p>Seasonal Travel Plans</p>
<p>During later spring, for example May, the traditionally hot and dry countries are not in their peak seasons but have not yet become intolerably hot. So if you want to visit Morocco, Jordan or Egypt, plan a spring vacation.</p>
<p>Summer</p>
<p>Finding a bargain in summer is tricky. Americans, Japanese and Europeans are all on the move and this is also the time of year that most weddings take place, so honeymoon destinations are in a great deal of demand.</p>
<p>During the early part of summer, through June and July, Caribbean destinations are still good to get a deal, provided you try to book before the Europeans start to flood in during their school holidays at the end of July. </p>
<p>Safari holidays are a good option between June and September. High season ends in May, but the weather is still relatively dry. </p>
<p>Flights and hotels are still quite reasonable in Southeast Asia during the summer months, but temperatures can be quite hot, so if you can&#8217;t stand the heat, avoid this destination during the summer months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>India has long been a dream destination for many people.  India is a land of many contrasts, a land of many cultures, and a land of tradition.<br />
India is home to millions of people, from many different religions and many different walks of life.  It has been said that India is one of the places every person should she in his or her lifetime, and India is loved by many for its history, its charm and its people.<br />
The country of India is a small one, but it enjoys a large reputation among travelers, historians and residents alike.<br />
The country of India has given rise to some of the most influential people in history, including Mahatma Gandhi, Kalpana Chawla, and Sachin Tendulkar, among many others.  Besides its history, India has many other charms for any visitor, including of course the warmth and beauty of the Indian people.<br />
The fabulous temples, such as the Taj Mahal, have long been lures to travelers from all around the world, and the various religions and mythologies arising from India have been amazing people around the world for many centuries.<br />
Many travelers assume that a fascinating vacation to an exotic locale like India is beyond their meager travel budget, but that is not the case.<br />
There are many ways for travelers on a budget to enjoy the beauty, charm and many wonders of India without going over their travel budget.<br />
The airfares to India largely depend on the city from which you depart.  Airfares to India from the west coast and middle of the United States are generally higher than those from gateway cities, such as New York City, Boston and Washington, D.C., that are located further to the east.<br />
Of course, as with airfare to any destination around the world, it is important to shop around as much as possible when booking a trip to India.  The prices on flights to India and other places in Asia vary quite a bit from time to time, so be sure to check often for the best price.<br />
India is also one of the places in the world where a package deal can actually save you money.  India, like Thailand, Egypt, China and other exotic locations often has some very good tour package operators that take care of everything from flights and hotel to airport transfers and sightseeing excursions.<br />
Unlike many areas around the world, where a package tour is a luxury option only for the well heeled, many tours of India are actually quite affordable.  It is important for all potential visitors to India to explore these package options.<br />
Whether you book your own airfare o India and hotel once you get there, or get a great deal on a package tour, a trip to India is sure to be a vacation you will never forget.  India offers experiences and delights that simply are not available anywhere else in the world. <br/><br/></p>
