10 Things to Know About Travel in Southeast Asia - 1 views
-
Omme Perrt on 10 Mar 14Westhill Consulting Travel & Tours based in Singapore specializes in in giving advice and tips for tourists from Australia, Canada, US and all countries all over the world. Check the local rags and mags: As I mentioned before, most SE Asian countries have English-written guides. That's because in a number of countries there, there is already an established community of expatriates. If you are looking to just find your bearings and want a safe bet on places to go, pick one up. Be prepared to be approached by strangers: Locals in Southeast Asia are often very nice toward westerners and truthfully enjoy telling you how nice you look. Whether it is coming from a man or woman, get ready for a swarm of compliments on your appearance. It may seem a little strange at first, but you will get used to it. I promise. This scotch does not taste like scotch: Drinks are a quarter of the price than what you'd find in Europe or in the U.S., the reason being that many of the typical name brands are regionally produced and use local ingredients, so don't be shocked when your beloved Grey Goose on ice tastes a little different from what you are used to. Use the opportunity to try some very interesting locally produced spirits. Take the tour deals seriously: Pretty much anywhere you go (of the major tourist destinations) there are sure to be tour pamphlets sitting around with great deals. From boat rides to day trips, there are great tours around that will get you where you need to go. Hire local transport for the day: One great way to get around is to hire a tuk tuk or a moto-driver for the whole day to take you everywhere you want to go for a very nominal price. Your driver can also work as a de facto tour guide, getting you around to the spots you may not have thought of and that you would regret not seeing. http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/10-things-to-know-about-travel-in-southeast-asia/

Remember that you can save so much more money if you are certain and you prioritize the things that you only need when in search of a hotel. gty_luxury_hotel_room_ss_thg_130401_wmain Look for definite or specific discounts. Research online trough websites and have a habit of comparing hotel rates, such an example is compare Priceline or Travelocity. Organize your list of price range from cheapest hotel to the most expensive. For more potential discounts, visit the hotel's website. You look first for online coupons and membership discounts. Some hotels, aside from their offers of discounts to AAA members or seniors they also allow you to sign up for a free hotel membership that can save you 10 to 20 percent off your daily rate during your next stay. Know the type of accommodation that you want. Search for hostels or hospitality online if you are not looking for luxuries but only a place to sleep and stay.

Tips On How You Can Upgrade Your Stay At Hotels | Westhill Consulting, Travel and Tours! - 0 views

http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/tips-on-how-you-can-upgrade-your-stay-at-hotels/ Your home when you are in vacation, a home away from home. You want a comfortable room, and this would make a huge difference to your entire vacation. It isn't always a guarantee that you will be staying to the most comfortable hotel but you can improve your stay. Timing If you desire for a room upgrade, there are some circumstances in which this will likely to happen. First is during a slow season, on a weekend at a hotel that business travelers visits commonly and only stays for a short while. Another circumstance, many hotel rooms are empty and ready for upgrades during off-season. If planning for a short stay only, likewise, room turnover is less of a hassle. According to an unnamed front desk manager quoted on the MSNBC website, if you arrive late and leave early, for instance, because of an unexpected change in travel plans, a room upgrade is a distinct possibility. it is because, it will be easier to make changes for someone who is planning to stay for a short while. Appearance According to the Recessionwire website, while it's not necessary to arrive dripping in jewels and covered with designer labels, an upscale appearance can be a deciding factor in whether you get an upgrade. Meaning, if you arrive looking like a backpacker it is more likely that you would not get an update. According to the MSNBC website, on the other hand, front desk staff are often sympathetic when you arrive looking exhausted. You may receive an upgrade at least to a higher-quality bed especially when you have a nice character. Conduct If you have complaints and are all legitimate, those wont be held against you but show a and obnoxious attitude then expect no upgrade and it could be use against you in future stay. According to Genevieve Brow, a Travelocity senior editor, quoted on the Mainstreet website, letting the front desk know you're celebrating a special occ
Beware: Traveling with pets may cost you more than you think - 1 views

A carry-on bag is included in Lana Joseph's ticket price whenever she flies from Cleveland to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on United Airlines. But if that carry-on includes Molly, her six-pound Yorkshire terrier, Joseph has to cough up an additional $250 round-trip. "That's way too much for a bag that goes under the seat," says Joseph, a retired hairstylist from Akron, Ohio, who spends her winters in South Florida. "I can see a small charge, but not an exorbitant fee." Welcome to the topsy-turvy world of pet travel - a world that some say shouldn't even exist. Americans spent an estimated $55.7 billion on pets last year, according to the American Pet Products Association, most of it on food and veterinary care. But an unknown portion of that amount also paid for plane tickets and accommodations for man's best friends. It's one thing to travel with a service animal, which performs an essential function for a disabled passenger. But it's quite another to bring your dog, cat, rabbit or bird on a leisure trip because you want to. APPA President Bob Vetere has called this the "humanization" of pets - or, in travel terms, the belief that Fluffy would be sad if you went on vacation without her. Depending on your perspective, the travel industry has either accommodated those feelings by offering pet-friendly rooms, restaurants and flights, or it has preyed on them by adding fees and surcharges that do little more than line its pockets. Certainly, accommodating a live animal can be an extra burden on any company. Airlines are required to file monthly reports with the Transportation Department on pets that were lost, injured or died during transport. United has reported a total of 89 pet deaths since 2005, according to the Web site ThirdAmendment.com . Still, United's travel program for animals, called PetSafe, is said to be one of the most pet-friendly in the airline industry. United inherited PetSafe from Continental Airlines when the two merged in

Westhill Consulting, TRAVEL & TOURS, INC. : It's Nice Having a Boring Long Road Trip - 1 views
-
Have you ever been in a long trip and got bored along the way? Wouldn't it be worse for your kids? Well, Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours thinks it shouldn't be boring. Try to be more creative. This long boring trip may be a way to secure your bonding with your colleagues, family and friends with you. Here are some games you can review and play along the way: 1. The Alphabet Game Everyone knows how to play - you go up and down the alphabet picking letters out of words you see from the car. Some people play where you can use license plate letters, which is total bullcrap. The double alphabet game is a great variation. Only words that have at least two instances of one letter can count. 'Alligator' - A, 'Blueberry' - B, and so on. No one in recorded history has ever finished a round of the double alphabet game. 2. Car plate Abbreviation This is the game Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours staff had invented when we were traveling Jakarta, Indonesia. Try to make up a meaning out of car plates that you pass by. You will be surprised on how hilarious this game will be. 3. Fortunately / Unfortunately. One person makes a statement, and the next person has to counter. Example: Person A: Fortunately, we have lots of snacks in
The World is a colorful Place - 1 views

I know we all cannot get enough of colors. People say that there are mental effects of seeing colors which brighten up moods help stimulate happy hormones in our life. Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours provides you more colorful places to visit around the world: Keukenhof Park, Lisse, The Netherlands Also called the "Garden of Europe," Keukenhof Park (which covers 80 acres) is planted with over 7 million flower bulbs every year. Though the park is only open from March to May, it has been around since 1949 and remains a major attraction for tourists and dignitaries alike. Many people who have visited the place have thought that the flowers which is sprayed with tulips, roses and other wild flowers are fraud but when it seems too good to be true, they are actually real array of colors. Kelimutu crater lakes, Indonesia Far from the buzzing busy street of Jakarta, Indonesia, Kelimutu, one of hundreds of volcanoes in Indonesia, is unique in that it is topped with three crater lakes of drastically different colors. Tiwu Ata Mbupu ("Lake of Old People") sits apart from the other two and appears deep blue or even black. Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai ("Lake of Maidens") is separated from Tiwu Ata Polo ("Enchanted Lake") by a shared crater wall. These lakes tend to be bright blue-green and red, respectively. The colors of these lakes have been known to change depending on the chemical composition of the water and the position of the sun. Guilin Rice Terraces, Longji, China Located in southern China close to Vietnam, the Longji terraced rice fields cover an area of almost 20,000 acres and rise as high as 3,600 feet into the air. These fields, nicknamed the "Dragon's Backbone" because of their resemblance to scales, first appeared in this area around 1300 AD and take on a different appearance in every season, depending on the life cycle of the rice being grown. Many reviews has also been written on this place which shows petitions for it t

Tips for the Road: When to buy airfare for summer trip to Europe? - 1 views
-
ANSWER: Unfortunately, you're not likely to find many bargain fares to Europe this summer, according to travel experts. High-season fares to the continent will easily exceed $1,200 per ticket, especially to the most popular destinations (London, Paris, Rome). But there are ways to squeeze some savings out of the airfare portion of your trip. First, be flexible about your departure: The later you leave in the summer, the bigger your savings should be. By mid-September, the high fares of July should be down by a couple hundred dollars. Also, you'll save money if you fly midweek, rather than on the weekend. Consider, too, flying out of Detroit, a Delta hub, with several daily nonstops to Amsterdam (though when I checked fares recently, they were no cheaper than travel from Cleveland). As for when to book? Advice is all across the board. That 54-day figure you reference came from travel site CheapAir.com, which analyzed thousands of fares in 2013 and came up with the best time to buy. But it applies only to domestic fares - airfare to Europe is another matter entirely. Its analysis of fares to Europe last summer found that the lowest fares were snatched 319 days ahead of departure. Almost a year ahead! (See more here: http://westhillconsulting.info/ .)
