			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the key places to visit in Louisiana are as follows:<br />&#13;</p>
<p> New Orleans<br />&#13;</p>
<p>It is one of the most popular cities in Louisiana which is known for its great blend of culture, history, restaurants, galleries, boutiques etc. Usually, it is said that visit at Louisiana is incomplete without experiencing New Orleans. And, an event in Louisiana which creates excitement is Mardi Gras, during which streets get filled with live music and parties.<br />&#13;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you like a challenge? Do you want to tame championship courses?</p>
<p>There are many championship courses around the world, from 18 to 36 hole. Some have been designed by champion golfers such as Nick Faldo. Each offers its own particular challenges which, of course, is what makes golf such a fascinating game.</p>
<p>Travelling to these courses is, naturally, not difficult but the costs of doing so and staying in suitable accommodation may make it prohibitive, especially if you are having to take the present economic situation into account.</p>
<p>Recently, a form of Club has changed the way they gathered new members for a wide range of luxury holidays around the world. Instead of personal invitations to special high pressure presentations in hotels to offer their resources, membership is now being offered direct, still by word of mouth but without the geographical restriction and without the pressure.</p>
<p>Acommodation is in 4 and 5 star luxury apartments and villas, mostly on a self catering holiday. This means that you can arrange your game whenever it suits you and not to conform to laid down schedule of meals and other activities.</p>
<p>The accommodation usually comprises 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms, lounge, dining area, fully fitted kitchen, often a balcony, , etc. Apartments are typically in Marriott or Sheraton Hotels or similar. All will offer extensive facilities apart from Golf, so members of families who do not play can still enjoy a wonderful holiday.</p>
<p>Typical will be the GreenLinks Golf Resort in Florida. It&#8217;s the only luxury hotel condominium resort located right on the fairway in Naples, Florida, featuring 36 holes of championship golf. Their luxurious suites offer you all the comforts of home and more. </p>
<p>You can relax in their heated pool and Jacuzzi bask in the sun on their expanded sun deck or improve your tennis game on one of their private courts.</p>
<p>Downtown Naples and Marco Island are each about 10 minutes away, and both offer world class boating, fishing, shopping, and miles of white sandy beaches. Spa services at The Players Club, located within walking distance, are also available.</p>
<p>Some resorts do offer an all inclusive holiday where, for a reasonable daily charge, all food, drinks, facilities, etc. are provided. This can be a good way to control expenditure, perhaps important in these times.</p>
<p>Many of the properties are actually Time Share but there is no annual maintenance charge and instead of being limited to a single location you will have a choice of over 5000 in many different countries.</p>
<p>Cost of joining this Club is far less than buying a Time Share and, as we indicate, far more flexible. You will be able to recover the cost of membership within two or three weeks holidays. From then on you will be saving.</p>
<p>An unusual aspect of membership is that it can be used by other family members and also friends. It can even be bequeathed to your heirs, so it is not time limited.</p>
<p>Prices will vary according to size, quality and location but will be a maximum of $799 for one week. That is for the villa or apartment, not per person. Although the minimum is $298, there are often special last minute bargains from an incredible $99.</p>
<p>The normal prices through Travel Agents would be in the range of $1500 to $3000. Savings of well over $1000 for a week are commonplace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tobago is often known only as the little sister of Trinidad, as in Trinidad and Tobago, and this doesn&#8217;t in any way do it justice. A Tobago vacation is a vacation on a unique Caribbean Island, still relatively unspoilt by mass tourism.</p>
<p>&#13;It lies some 20 miles to the north east of Venezuela and around 150 miles south of Barbados.</p>
<p>&#13;What this means is an island that has white sand beaches, perfect little bays, turquoise blue clear and unpolluted seas. Tobago has colourful undamaged coral reefs teeming with fish, and alongside that waving palm trees by by luxuriant tropical rainforest.</p>
<p>&#13;Its size at around forty one kilometres long and eleven kilometres wide means it isn&#8217;t too big to get lost, nor too small to be bored. The sun shines year round with an average temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, falling to seventy three degrees at night, with the rainy season from June until November. Persistent rain happens only rarely, what it normally means is brief bursts of heavy rain followed by sunshine. The dry season is December to April which unsurprisingly is also high season and correspondingly higher prices.</p>
<p>&#13;You might need some good reasons to persuade you to take a Tobago vacation, and one very good reason especially if your vacation has to be taken during the summer months is the fact that Tobago is south of the hurricane belt.</p>
<p>&#13;Another outstanding feature of Tobago, and this isn&#8217;t something you will see often if at all on your Caribbean Island Travels, and that is empty beaches and no skyscraper tower block style hotels in sight.</p>
<p>&#13;There are many things to do on your Tobago Vacation, including fabulous snorkelling and scuba diving under the water, with lovely coral reefs and multicoloured fish, but no dangerous sharks, and great fishing in the seas around Tobago.</p>
<p>&#13;If Golf is your fancy there is championship golf and you don&#8217;t have to worry about there being any poisonous snakes on the course, but you may well get a glimpse of some of the large number of bird species.</p>
<p>&#13;To see some of the abundance of wildlife you can visit the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere, containing such amazing wildlife that it has been called the Galapagos of the West Indies.</p>
<p>&#13;The people and the food you will meet and find on a Tobago vacation will be a major part of your enjoyment. The local people are very friendly and have a certain unique dignity to them that isn&#8217;t found anywhere else in the Caribbean. In terms of the food, there is a lot to choose from at extremely reasonable prices. You need to look out for local cuisine such as Curried Crab and Dumpling, perhaps Callaloo a coconut and spinach soup, or roti a thick chickpea and potato curry with either beef chicken or lobster wrapped in a kind of flour tortilla.</p>
<p>&#13;Any tropical island, any Caribbean island must have great beaches, and on your Tobago Vacation you are going to find some beaches you will love. Amongst Tobago&#8217;s best beaches are Englishmen&#8217;s Bay right on the edge of the rainforest, no hotels, no crowds. Mount Irvine beach, small and pretty with great snorkelling. Castara is another unspoilt beach, and then there is Pigeon Point, the classical tropical island beach with white sand, turquoise water, a wooden jetty, and thatched roof huts. The other quiet often deserted beaches worth a visit are Canoe Bay, Charlotteville and Man O War Bay.</p>
<p>&#13;The Tobago Hotels such as at Grafton Resort, Courland Bay, and Turtle Beach all have facilities including Bars and Cafes, and are much larger and very popular.</p>
<p>&#13;There is plenty to do when you take a Tobago vacation, lots to see as Tobago is rich in history, and lots to do. Go whilst it remains relatively unspoilt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>article by Mon &#8220;Hotel&#8221; New hotel classification in France</p>
<p></p>
<p>A reform of the hotel classification has been on the news since more than a year: Indeed until now there were no five stars hotels in France, but since the beginning of 2009 the change is on: Hotels that volunteer will be rated from one to five stars for a minimum of three years and a maximum of five years. The evaluation will be done, at the expense of the volunteers. Moreover the ratings will have to be approved by the French government</p>
<p>The point of this new classification system is simply to mix different point of views related to norms and understand and respond better to the clients needs by responding better to the comfort criteria that are a must have and other criteria that can please the clients.</p>
<p>The move was of course orchestrated by the French government whose goal is to place tourism at the heart of the economical growth  by defining a new political plan concerning tourism: destination France 2020 the matter was discussed this summer at the Assises nationale du tourisme that took place this summer.</p>
<p>The challenge is to support tourism which is the first industry of France: With the globalisation and the clients changing needs France has to be competitive with other destinations concerning the clients behaviours and needs. (Not having a five star rating is a serious handicap considering that the client doesnt always know the fact that Frances highest class of hotel is four star luxe).</p>
<p>Objectively what is going to be different about this new classification? <br /> Firstly it is interesting to know that it is the first time in twenty two years that the classification grid is being changed: And indeed clients needs have changed a lot in twenty two years!.</p>
<p>The new classification is bringing major changes to satisfy the clients: -	no star hotels will disappear: The hotels that volunteer will all be classified one star consequently a fifth star has been added to replace the four star luxe appellation. This is useful to hotel owners; it will allow French hotels to be competitive compared to hotel in competing countries. -	The new classification system promises to be more exigent : lets do a little comparison with the old classification</p>
<p>Old classification New classification For a first star rating 30 criteria were needed First star rating:61 criteria needed For a two star rating 30 criteria were needed two star rating:68 criteria needed For a three star rating 30 criteria were needed three star rating:75 criteria needed For a four star rating 33 criteria were needed Four star rating:94 criteria needed For a four star luxe rating 33 criteria were needed Five star rating:124 criteria needed</p>
<p>The classification will also comprise of optional points: Every hotels that volunteer to get reclassified will have the chance to have optional points, these optional criteria will give establishments the chance to differentiate themselves from their competitors and to show the client the diversity of French hostelry (These optional criteria will not be imposed, hotel managers will choose them). Lets take a moment to summarise and understand this new classification: To be rated hotels will have to respond to the following exigencies: -	they will have to be compliant to a number of obligatory criteria (See above page) -	they will have to be compliant to a number of optional criteria</p>
<p>These criteria will give hotels points, and it will be the points that will be taken into account for the ratings:</p>
<p>  To be rated one star, 141 obligatory points will be needed with an addition of 24 personal, optional points to the hotel.  To be rated two star, 161 obligatory points will be needed with an addition of 24 personal, optional points to the hotel.  To be rated three star, 177 obligatory points will be needed with an addition of 24 personal, optional points to the hotel.  To be rated four star, 226 obligatory points will be needed with an addition of 24 personal, optional points to the hotel.  To be rated five star,298 obligatory points will be needed with an addition of 24 personal, optional points to the hotel.
<p>Note: hotels will be given a 5% flexibility margin: if they can not comply to all the points needed to be rated in one category they can make up for these criteria by adding optional points ,but optional points and obligatory points do not have the same value: One obligatory point is equal to three optional points. The heart of this new classification is the client: While the previous classification paid particular attention to surfaces and equipments the new classification pays particular attention to services proposed to the client (in addition to paying attention to the equipment and surfaces.) In addition to that the client will be informed about the new classification and can be solicited to make suggestions about it.

<p>In terms of competitive positioning a change was inevitable: The hotels of the worlds first tourism destination could no longer afford to avoid comparisons with their international competitors! Indeed the creation or more appropriately the adoption of the fifth star will change this fact.</p>
<p>What exactly does the fifth star represent? It will represent the best of French hostelry, the fifth star will be the distinction of excellence and it will of course offer a better readability to international clients.

<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.monhotel.fr">monhotel.fr</a></p>
<p>A new classification procedure: If the new classification is supposed to make French hotels compliant to international standards the attributions of stars would also be made according to the techniques used by our international competitors. The evaluation will be done by specialised audit firms which will visit hotels regularly and will be more or less exigent (depending on the rating of the hotel), moreover surprise visit will be made to hotels rated four stars and above</p>
<p>Every five years the classification will be subjected to changes (according to the progress or regression of the establishments). <br /> The Agence de developpement touristique or Tourism development agency in English will have to support the procedure and animate it. Transition phase: <br /> Given the time that hotels will need to adopt the classification the new and the old classification will co exist during three years strating from the publication of the Loi Tourisme or tourism law (which I will present later in this article). After three years the old classification will cease to exist.</p>
<p>A point on investments: As I said earlier the point of this classification is mostly to modernize French Hotels and it will ssdetermine new economical parameters on which establishments will build their new economical system, and to build a new economical system one needs funds. Two organisms will help hotels to find funds: <br /> -OSEO <br /> -caisse des depots <br /> The Loi Tourisme  <br /> This law will modernize the regulations for professionals working in the travel business to allow them to be more competitive in the international sector. This laws aim is to make easy the sales of tickets for travel agencies: -this law will suppress the four steps that one had to pass to have authorisation to sell trips &#8211; Every operator wanting to sale trip formulas will have to declare his activity to a national register managed by the future Agence de developpement Touristique. The law will be according to reports constituted of thirteen articles. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People often think of a holiday in Spain what is the first image that pops into your head? For a majority of people it is an abundance of drinks, sun and sand. But there are certain areas in Spain that are still virtually untouched by the remnants of tourism and the Costa Brava is that kind of area. If you are planning a holiday in the Costa Brava and are looking for a luxury villa with a non-public swimming pool, then Club Villamar will be the ideal place to make it happen. Not only will they find you exactly what you wanted but they will make sure that you have the best holiday you ever had. Club Villamar has luxury villas in the vicinity of the Costa Brava that will acommodate up to fourteen people. From the businesses website you can view the villas, confirm occupancy and reserve over the internet using a secure online credit card choice. The website also allows for you to make an offer for a last minute deal. The Costa Brava runs down the coast of France right up to Blanes and is popular with both tourists and folks looking to live in Spain. The winters are generally mild yet the summer still brings temperatures in excess of 30 degrees. The local airport at Girona is serviced by a couple of the low cost travel airlines such as Ryanair and Transavia making it a less expensive destination to reach. What is the one thing that can surely spoil a a weekend getaway? The other guests! But if you rent a luxury villa from the Club Villamar brochure you don&#8217;t need to worry about substandard hotels and their guests. No dealing with drunken youngsters or arguing over the beach chairs. There are no vacation salesman trying to persuade you to join in with yet another card game. You can look forward to relaxation, peace and adequate space for you and your family to enjoy this fantastic place and its facilities. There are approximately 400 villas to select from if you book via Club Villamar Costa Brava, and all of the villas feature a private pool. They are located in the La Selva district between Blanes and Tosca De Mer. If you are looking to just relax in the sun, you will not need to leave your fabulous new home apart from a couple of jaunts to the local shops. Just check out the beautiful and luxurious holiday homes that are available on the Club Villamar website &#8211; you will be glad you did. Tosca De Mer offers some fantastic sandy beaches and historical remains to be discovered. If you want to see how the rich and famous live, take a trip to S&#8217;Agaro with its amazing homes and beautiful un-crowded beaches. If you like to vacation with the town folk, go to Playa D&#8217;Aro where the residents of Barcelona spend their holidays. There are lots of water activities available and if you have kids, the great water parks are a must see for the day. In order to explore the various fantastic amenities this region has to offer, you should probably rent a car. You can expect to get good deals from local or national rental car companies. The local golf courses are some of the best in the region and due to the generally perfect weather they can stay pretty busy. In fact the PGA Golf de Catalua is a mesmerizing course designed to host various top class tournaments. Golf lovers will appreciate the best greens and rolling fairways they have probably ever encountered. The downside is that it may be difficult to separate your golf fanatic from this course. If you are a pair of golfers this won&#8217;t be a problem. Otherwise, be warned, you may spend the rest of your holiday as a golf widow or widower. For people with accomodations on the Costa Brava and haven&#8217;t yet been to Barcelona it is well worth the hour and a half trip. It is within close proximity and the city itself is just marvelous. There are lots of museums and galleries to enjoy. The buildings and scenery are simply heavenly with many designed by Antoni Gaudi. Visit his famous La Sagrada Familia, the as yet, incomplete Church of the Holy Family. Visit the stadium and the newly renovated port. The shopping is fantastic and there are plenty of tapas bars and restaurants to keep the men entertained too. Spaniards love their food so you can expect high quality dining and great service. While staying at a Club Villamar, Costa Brava villa you should try and visit some of the popular places such as Blanes and Playa d&#8217;Aro. If you are scheduling a calm peaceful holiday and want to avoid the youngsters partying you may find Lloret De Mar a visit, specifically in high season. July and early August are especially busy with a lot of both French and English visitors so the beaches can become very crowded, never mind the pubs and clubs. But if that is the type of holiday you are looking for, the sheer volume of nightclubs and bars can&#8217;t be beaten. If you desire to see or wander around authentic Spanish towns while on holiday, spend some time at Santa Susanna, Malgrat de Mar and Arenys de Munt. Ancient Girona is a must visit with its grand old Jewish villages. Don&#8217;t miss the history of this area as told in the Jewish history museum. You can study 19th century art by visiting the Episcopal Palace. The &#8216;piece de resistance&#8217; is probably the most beautiful Cathedral de Santa Maria found perched on a hill top above the city and can be seen for miles around. So if you are searching for a vacation that offers great weather, fantastic people, wonderful artistic and cultural offerings as well as stunning places and distinctful high class accommodation, the Club Villamar luxury holiday villas on the Costa Brava are really hard to beat.</p>
