Tourism goes fictitious in India

Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Rajasthan… a new breed of tourists are trailing their favourite authors to discover locales set in novels or film adaptations of books, or simply turning into literary junketeers hopping from one festival to another.
The annual Jaipur literature festival is already a must-visit on the itinerary of book-lovers and with Kerala set to host the first edition of the international Hay festival in November this year, India is gearing up for a place on the map of enthusiasts who are combining their love for literature with wanderlust.
“There are far too less literary events in India. Around 20,000 people, including foreign visitors turn up at the Jaipur literature festival each year. Another major event in India is the Kolkata Book Fair which attracts about 2 million people on an average,” states Nikhil Ganju, Director, Marketing, Tripadvisor, India.
In Himachal Pradesh there is a proposal to think about developing sites along the Hindustan-Tibet road, where author Rudyard Kipling had stayed noted and penned novels such as the classic “Kim.”
“We had proposed to call it the Kipling trail after the famous author who is stated to have stayed at various places along the Shimla-Kinnaur route,” states Avay Shukla who was additional chief secretary, forest department of Himachal Pradesh when he forwarded the proposal in 2008.
Also Shimla and surrounding places like Dharamshala and Mussoorie attract a lot of foreigner’s especially British tourists who come to trace their roots. “What attracts them is that their forefathers, great grandfathers etc lived here and died here,” states Shukla.
Historian Raja Bhasin who has conducted guided tours for tourists in Himachal Pradesh says,”I handle a clean amount of groups from overseas. Some groups have specific interest is Rudyard Kipling and we did readings from his book at places where we thought the author would have stayed or passed through.”
“There are places that captured his imagination. The cave where the lama stayed in stated to exist even this day in the spiti mountains. Similarly within Shimla Kipling had set many stories and stated to have stayed at various forest guest houses some of them which are present today,” states Bhasin.
The Mumbai-born author had spent a lot of time in the United Says and is of also of literary importance to travellers from there, states the historian.
A veteran Canada based tourism professional Stephen Burnett says, “Often we discover that literature tourism is one of the supporting branches of cultural tourism and depending on how robust the program is it can also be the dominant motivating bourgeois in the consumer’s travel decision.”
Burnett points out traditionally the UK attract a lot of tourists with a taste for literature.
“Emily Bronte’s writing turned Haworth, a grimly north Yorkshire village into a literati Mecca for followers of “Wuthering Heights”. The homes of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth have attracted legions of loyal followers of Peter Rabbit and Britain’s Poet Laureate,” states Burnett.
A survey released by travel portal Tripadvisor has listed London, the inspiration for Charles Dickens, on top of ten literary destinations worldwide.
In Canada’s little Prince Edward Island the writing of Lucy Maud Montgomery continues to capture the imagination of millions of schoolgirls the world over, with her story “Ann of Green Gables.” Visitors from Nihon are perhaps the most loyal followers of the marvellous heart warming tale. In Kenya the writing of baroness Karenic Blixen regenerated an entire African Safari business with her novel “Out of Africa.”
Meanwhile, Lyndy Cooke, executive director, Hay Festival says,”We are very excited to celebrate the Hay Festival in India and Kerala became the obvious choice for its high literacy rate and favourite tourist destinations. The Festival will also create a platform to present Indian writing to an international audience.”
“Literature can be linked to tourism. At Hay on Wye, we sell nearly 200,000 tickets each year and 80 per cent of the crowd are visitors who come to Wales. They live in hotels, bed and breakfast lodges, in a 100-km length of the lush hamlet,” states Cooke.
According to official estimates foreign tourist arrivals in India jumped by over 15 per cent in Might against the same period as the figure touched 3.45 lakh. In Might last year, 2.99 lakh foreign tourists visited India which was lower than 3.04 lakh in the same month in 2008.
“Touristy places also help to attract people to literary festivals,” states Binno K John who organises the Kovalam Literature Festival in Kerala which in its third edition this October will host celebrated Pakistani authors Fatima Bhutto, Mohammed Hanif and H M Naqvi among other international literary giants.
Concurs Sanjoy K Roy, Team works which has worked to bring Hay to Kerala. “It is easier to sell Kerala as a destination because it is well known.”
“With the Hay festival we hope to create a literary event in south India that we hope becomes a magnet for people to come into India,” he says.
Earlier this year Indian writers like Gulzar, Chetan Bhagat, Bulbul Sharma and Omair Ahmad were joined by international obloquy like British author Patrick French as well as local writers and poets from Bhutan for a three-day festival “Mountain Echoes” in Thimphu.
“Obliquely the festival which has a separate segment on travel writing has focused on literary tourism which has become a new genre of tourism,” states Mita Kapur, Siyahi, which organised the event in May.
Author and co-founder director of Jaipur Literary festival Namita Gokhale says, “Jaipur has been a large inspiration for other models. If you are open to the literary expression it helps you comprehend the people and culture of a place in a deeper way. Otherwise it is just a virtual holiday.”

Looking for a Cheap Honeymoon – Try a Cruise

Cheap and honeymoon, two words that most people don’t think go together. But there are ways to save some money on that pass after the craziness of a wedding, which usually uses up each last dollar that you, the happy couple have. A cheap honeymoon doesn’t mean spending the night in some cheap motel either. With a tiny effort and some planning a cruise can be a great way to keep that honeymoon expense in check.

Honeymoon cruise can be anything from very costly to affordable for just about anyone. It just depends on the package you get and the length of the cruise. A cruise is also a lot of fun, hassle free and will leave the newlyweds with many unforgettable memories.

Cruises are cost-efficient vacations, especially if you leave from your home port rather than flying to meet the ship. While this isn’t always doable for the more land-locked, for those who live close to cruise ship home ports it can be a great way to have an affordable honeymoon. Many cruise lines also offer honeymoon packages which can significantly lower the price, and if you select to take your cruise off season chances are you can save even more money.

Probably the biggest way a cruise can save money is that nearly all of them are all-inclusive. This means that everything including your meals, room and board, and ship board entertainment are paid for up front. You will need extra money for things like alcoholic drinks, duty free shopping, and off ship excursions to the many ports of call, if you select to leave the ship.

Another way to save money on a cruise is to book your trip before a major holiday when many cruise lines offer bargain prices. And if you have been on a cruise before book with the same company as they normally offer discounts for returning customers. Last but not least be sure to shop around and see what the different lines have to offer. If you look hard enough you are sure to find a cruise that will satisfy any budgetary constraints you might have.

You might select destinations to visit nearly anywhere in the world for your cruise and be sure that you will be entertained, pampered, well fed and secure. If you select honeymoon cruises to exotic locations like the Suez Canal or Australia, the Caribbean, Central or South America, or the more local destination of Hawaii, you will smoothly canvass while you sleep or partake of ship board night life and enjoy the exotic ports of call and beautiful islands during the day, where you can go island exploring, enjoy pristine tropical beaches, go on scenic tours for day excursions, and other numerous off the boat adventures.

So if you think you can’t afford an exotic honeymoon then think again. For a cheap honeymoon a cruise can be a great way to go.

Dubai Tourism ? Tips You Can?t Miss!

This is my third article on a series of articles I have written with Dubai tourism tips. And yes, I will share even more tips here, and to be honest, there is so much to cover about this beautiful city in the United Arab Emirates that I could write for months! This time I’ll share with you more basic information worth knowing in your first visit.

Let’s speak about money.  As you know, money is important to get around any city; luckily Dubai has both national and international banks with the same services you’d anticipate in any major city.  But know that on Dubai banks will only stay open from 8 AM to 1 PM from Saturday to Wednesday!  Yes, this means no noon bank transactions; the only exception is Wednesday, when the bank is open from 8 PM until noon.

Now, if you have credit cards, in Dubai they accept all the common ones, including Mastercard, Visa, Diners Club and American Express. Still, cash is good to have, especially if you plan shopping on small establishment, since the majority of them don’t have a card processing system.  The currency on Dubai is the dirham, and at the time of writing, you can exchange on dollar for 3.67 dirhams.

As for tipping, in Dubai the tipping rate is lower than in the US.  While here, the tipping is 20%, in Dubai is 10% and that is considered acceptable, of course you can give more as a tip.  As a general rule, do what I do and simply reward great service with an according tip, after all that’s what it is about right?

In Dubai the week is different, this might be handy when it comes to businesses. The weekend days are Thursday and Friday, but major closing days takes place on Friday and Saturday.  Establishments often have common hours from 9 to 5 in the majority of cases, some stores even remain open until 10 PM, excellent for people who want to go shopping at night.

These are just some of the tips and information you can find on Dubai travel. I am just scratching the surface here. For a complete tourism guide that will include all the information you could possibly want, check out All Things Dubai.

Is Your Discount Caribbean Vacation Package Really a Discount?

If you want to travel to the Caribbean, whether it be Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, or another beautiful destination in the area, you want to save money. For that reason, you, like most other tourists, will automatically look for Caribbean discount pass packages. These packages are simple to find, but caution is advised. Cheap travel packages are supposed to save you money, but they don’t always.

So, how do you ensure your discount pass package actually provides you with a discount?

Do business with a reputable company or travel website. Many tourists turn to travel agents and online travel websites. Even though it is simple to book a Caribbean pass on your own, many like the outside help from an expert. That is okay, but make sure you are doing business with a trustworthy individual or website. A small amount of research online will let you know. Be cautious of travel agents in your community with a bad reputation or a poor track record. Be cautious of online travel websites that are known for adding on massive hidden fees.

Go directly to the source. When it comes to discount travel packages, many first time tourists mistakenly believe they need to visit a third celebration travel website. That is not the case. In the Caribbean, you can get travel packages directly through the resorts. The Breezes, Starfish, and Hedonism Resort lines all enable you to do so. By going directly to the source, you eliminate the intermediary. For example, if you decide to stay at a Breezes resort, visit Breezes.com to make your travel plans. Make your arrangements as a travel package.

Opt for an all-inclusive resort. In the Caribbean, you have many staying options. There are Caribbean hotels, pass rentals, traditional resorts, and all-inclusive resorts. All of these options come highly rated and recommended, but all-inclusive resorts are your ideal chance to save money. They do cost more upfront, but you should get a superior deal in the long run. This is because your stay includes more than just a room. You also get food, drinks, tips, limiting airfield transfers, some forms of onsite entertainment and more. Airfare can be included too, but this is optional.

Choose your all-inclusive resort wisely. Since food, drinks, tips, and onsite entertainment are already included in the cost of your stay, you paid for them. To save the most money, select the resort that is perfect for your needs. Do you want to scuba dive, snorkel, and windsurf? If so, opt for a resort where these are included as onsite entertainment. You pay to do these activities once or twice, but you are rarely prohibited from doing them more. This results in you saving money and getting a good deal.

Compare the individual components of your preferred Caribbean pass package. The ideal way to ensure you are truly getting a discount is to dissect your pass package. To get started, look at the inclusions of your discount travel package. You already know you get food, drinks, tips, and a room. Closely analyze on the onsite activities. For example, a beachfront resort is likely to include snorkeling, scuba diving, and windsurfing.

In keeping with comparing your discount pass package, you now know apiece component of the package and its overall cost. Begin dissecting the package and estimate the cost of apiece individual component. This is simple with airfare and resort room. Just request a standalone quote. Then, estimate the cost of food, drinks, tips, and entertainment. You can call a local beach rental shop to see how much rental gear costs for snorkeling. Contact the resort in question and inquire about the price of your favorite meal. Use this as a guide. Total up apiece individual cost. For you to truly get a discount, your cheap pass package should save you money.

Remember, cheap discount Caribbean pass packages should save you money. Unfortunately, they don’t always. Take half an hour to an hour to individually dissect and compare your preferred travel package. If you aren’t saving money, skip the buy and look elsewhere. The ideal way to get a quality, yet cheap trip to the Caribbean is to make your travel plans in advance, opt for an all-inclusive resort, and go directly to the source.
