Taiwan’s New Tourism Push
Wednesday, den 9. July 2008Yesterday I talked about Las Vegas’ latest PR drive to attract the Brits and now Taiwan are at it!
Taiwan is a great city break but they obviously don’t feel they’re getting enough visitors. They’ve gone mental!
They’re trying to break Guinness world records, such as inviting 2000 people include 1000 reflexologists to take part in the […]

Tuesday, den 8. July 2008Do UK residents fail to realise how great Las Vegas is?
I really cannot understand why Las Vegas is launching a new PR/marketing campaign to attract UK tourists to the city.
Managing Director of Hills Balfour Synergy (the company appointed to run this campaign), Amanda Hills, said:
“We are currently executing our first Las Vegas sales mission along […]

Sunday, den 6. July 2008I’ve never been on a city break to Los Angeles before so I have little to compare it with but apparently, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is now a safer place as they have opened a new taxiway connecting two runways.

According to the Irish tourist board, one of the best places to do this is County Kerry, which […]

Apparently most of them live in the East Midlands or Anglia - c’mon guys get out a bit, you don’t know what you’re missing. Fancy having never been abroad, let alone to a […]

Waterfalls in New York
Thursday, den 3. July 2008I’m gutted because my next city break to New York is planned for January in 2009 and the new waterfalls will only be visible til October. Darn it.
Danish artist, Olafur Eliasson, created four man made waterfalls which are situated on New York’s East River. You can see them from the Manhattan and Brooklyn sides of […]

Marlay Park is a great venue about ten miles from the city centre and throughout August the park will be playing host to concerts from the likes of the Muse, the Killers, Metallica and Lenny Kravitz.
On the 23rd August, […]

Stansted Extension
Tuesday, den 1. July 2008Today, Stansted Airport in London opened its new terminal extension - the first phase anyway.
It includes more space for arriving passengers, an extra luggage belt for collection and extra desks for immigration control.
If you go on many city breaks, you’ll probably hate airports like I do, so you’ll be pleased to know that this first […]
