American Business and Holiday Travel

It’s on the drive from Garmisch. The hotel has a restaurant that is… basically for kids, there is an indoor pool, an area for kids to play in indoors, and a large play area outside. There is also underground parking. The outside looks small and there is another restaurant that has a bar attached that is for adults. Can anyone tell me what hotel this is?
Thank you.

I am writing a letter to a travel agency to complain about my holiday trip which was a disaster from start to finish. What are some problems that I could have encountered during the trip? The tour guide could hardly speak english? The tour schedule was not punctual? Flight delays? I need this for my English subject. Thanks in advance.

flight delays wouldn’t really be the fault of the travel agency. However, how/whether you were taken care of,
whether things were smoothened out,
whether you were able to catch the connecting flights,
whether you were provided proper food & lodging [in case of inordinate delay - altho' technically, this would be the airline's concern],
whether concerns & fears were passed on to the airline officials,
whether any alternatives were chosen,
whether you were kept properly informed, etc. etc. Could be areas of complaint.

some more could be :
– the sight-seeing was too hectic
– sight-seeing not properly planned
– hospitality lacking
– rooms chosen were not up to the mark [or as advertised]
– rudeness of guide, etc.
– first-aid kits, & basic emergency equipment were lacking in the tour buses
– basic amenities lacking in hotels
– food & provisions not of promised grade.

hope these get you started
all the very best

I am going to Oahu at the end of September for a week flying out of San Diego and was wondering if anyone had any tips for finding cheap airfare. So far the lowest rates I have been able to find have been around $550-$600. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The discount travel sites are a good start. I booked through Priceline and got a great deal. Those rates you mentioned seem like they are at the lower end of the pricing range, so that might not be too bad.

My boyfriend and I are considering going to Bermuda in mid-July. Is that an okay time to go? Also, what cruise should we take- we are in our mid-twenties and would like a cruise with plenty of activities, but not that many kids. Are there any that have food and drinks included? Neither of us have ever been on a cruise before. We are also on a budget. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Try www.cruise-addicts.com , you will probably get some great feed back there.

As far as I know, you cannot fly to Poland from Birmingham, except with Sky Europe, who fly to Krakow on Mondays, Thursday, Fridays and Sundays.

They are a no-frills airline.

I run a website on the net and am looking for people to write travel reviews , anyone interested, please contact dcd_1@hotmail.co.uk

I have traveled to 17 countries.. would love to write a travel review.. just name the country and let me know..

Hi everyone. I have a bit of an obsession with my weight. I’m about 5"9 and I weight 147 pounds with a fat percentage of 8.5 percent. I go to the gym everyday for about 3 hours, doing cardio and weight training (except on Wednesdays, when I do Yoga). I’m also taking L-Carnitine and CLA pills.

I’m going for vacations for a week. My question is, without taking the pills and without exercise, will I put too much weight in one week? I mean, everyone knows we eat more on holidays, so take that in consideration!

Thanks!

I think that as a person who works out 6 days a week, you scare the hell out of me. If there is such thing as over-doing it, that would qualify. I think that not only will you survive for that brutal one week vacation, it might be the best thing for you.

We are planning a Disney trip in February and was wondering what the cups that you buy at the disney resorts look like. These cups are used to get your drinks while you are at the Disney resorts. I’m not sure if they change every year or use the same ones. Thank you!

It says Celebrate you! It’s a mug actually

Im just a kid so I have nooo idea how to find airline tickets online or anything. A family friend of ours is getting married in India and my dad said that if I can find cheap round trip airline tickets, we can go. But I dont even know where to start. Air India is what we flew last time we went to india. This trip would be at the beginning-middle of march 2009.

You will find the cheapest flight to an Indian airport from any part of the world, in the website referred below. If your departure airport is USA click on Yatra.com banners. Don’t believe them, check the fares offered by "Makemytrip". You can also see fares offered by British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Air France-Canada and many others.

I work for a resort. I make outbound calls to customers in hopes that they will purchase a vacation package. How can i make more sales what techniques or tips can i use to always make a sale and are there any free online courses that can help me overcome objections?

Yes, I have met, on the telephone, some of you people. People in general, who want something will go and find it. They don’t like having something that they weren’t considering pushed at them especially when they are in a rush to go to the toilet. If you want to sell holidays why don’t you go and work for a travel agent. You will then know that anybody who comes in the shop wants a holiday? More to the point, why did I get so many telesales people ringing me, when I lived in England, when I had an ex-directory number?
