bali

Bali has numerous exotic beaches that are good for surfing, swimming as well as just lounging on the sand. So, there are many hotels situated on the beach which give exciting feelings to the tourists. There are many villages situated on the beach. These villages and hotels provide daily clean up and grooming of beaches. There are various factors involved for the quality of beaches such as seasons, location of the beach and the direction it faces. During dry season i.e. from April to October, beaches of Bali are best. Erosion is minimal at beaches on the western coastal areas including Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Cangu during this period and the lack of wind or offshore wind keep the beaches clean and relatively calm.

Onshore wind deposits garbage and flotsam on the west facing beaches and constant cleanup is needed in the wet season. Heavy rains may deposit runoff around the beaches, particularly around run-off streams that flow into the ocean. There are also some beaches here that are less affected by season. These beaches include Sanur and Nusa Dua. Although the beach strip from the Mela hotel to Nusa Dua beach hotel experiences seasonal erosion in the winter which results in a very narrow strip of sand; the sand which returns from the summer month?

Sanur and Mengiat at Nusa Dua areas are beautiful as there is an offshore reef that keeps heavy surf away from the beach. Along with these, there are many other beaches in Bali where you can spend by renting a hotel and make your vacation memorable forever. One of the most beautiful and attractive beaches in Bali is Nusa Dua from Hyatt to St. Regis / Geger temple which is known as Mengiat beach and Geger beach respectively. The most beautiful blue water, minimal vendors and white sand are some of exciting features of these beaches.

You can spend your vacation on these beaches anytime with staying any of exciting hotels. Moreover, you can also spend your vacation without booking a hotel here. For this, your accommodation would be in Geger village beach cafes or Segara villages which are usually open for the public. Thus, you can enjoy your vacation in Bali beach whether you are with your family members, friends or colleagues. If you are plan for your honeymoon, Bali would be one of the best and ultimate destinations for you. No any places would be much better than Bali. Hence, you must spend your vacation there.

Malaysia

Malaysia advertises itself as '"Truly Asia", it's easy to see why when you land in the capital, Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur is a mind boggling and endearingly chaotic city. The most dazzling combination of history and tradition and range of multi cultural cuisine is a treat to the tourists. Kuala Lumpur is a truly international city and home to many expatriates who have found it comfortable as well hospitable. It has some of the best Malaysia hotels also some of the best international hotel chains. It boasts some of the most interesting shopping malls selling a range of electronic goods, clothing and of course food courts. The singularity of the malls is in stark contrast to the variety available at Kuala Lumpur's street markets from cheap imitations to genuine antiques.

Rantau Abang is completely different from Kuala Lumpur. Some years back it was famous for the beautiful leatherback turtle until tourism and crowding affected the nesting patterns. Today turtle sightings are rare but the beaches are still a popular holiday destination for Malaysians. Georgetown, Penang's major city is a reflection of Malaysia's colonial heritage. The lovely old buildings are reminiscent of Britain. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and has architectural contributions from China, colonial Britain and local community. It has many interesting places and is a tourist friendly place and most tourist attractions are accessible by walk.

Across Malaysia, the cuisine reflects the multi ethnicity and the multicultural nature of the country. The food reflects its history and is happy amalgamation of Indian, Chinese and Malay cuisines.

In the end visitors have only two words to say to Malaysians for this truly Asian experience-Terimah Kasih means Thank You in Malay.

thailand

According to a recent report released by China Internet Network Information Center, things are definitely looking up in the online travel booking business. China's online travel booking users in 2009 reached 30.24 million - a 77.9 percent increase. The top destinations for Chinese travelers are Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Korea and Thailand.

This is a good sign for the travel industry in Asia. Abacus International President and CEO, Robert Bailey explained that the surge in online travel bookings had helped revive overall booking figures over the past year: "The huge increase in internet penetration in emerging markets as well as aggressive airline promotions have helped boost passenger numbers." The prospect for the online segment continues to look positive. According to the Abacus Asia Travel Sentiment Survey, 71.3% of the travel agents that have no existing online business component said they are planning to develop one.

While most hotel thailand accommodation booking websites are international, some are dedicated solely to local hotels. Both choices appeal to users in different ways: international websites are good for those with vague ideas about their destinations or those who want to keep returning to the same service provider in every trip, but local websites seem to know best about their destinations. For example, first-time travelers to Asia might prefer international websites to browse the deals, while seasoned travelers who have come to Thailand before might want to deeply explore Bangkok's old city.

Most users choose to thailand accommodation book online because it is faster, more convenient and likely to be cheaper than going to physical tour agents. Users can also look at reviews online to make decision better. Some articles online even suggest that travelers should not go to hotels that has not been vetted by the Internet.

"Use social media to find - and punish - the worst properties. When it comes to Thailand hotels, the Internet is by far the most effective way to avoid a troubled hotel. Despite the best efforts of these awful hotels, it's impossible to hide from an angry public," wrote travel columnist Christopher Elliott on MSNBC website.
