In addition, new hotels are using the most modern and environmentally friendly technologies. Thus, the hotel Aloft, which was opened in the city on October 25, will provide tourists with hot water, heating it with energy from 560 solar panels located on the roof of the car park of the National Exhibition Company. Moreover, solar panels, located in an area of 2,3 thousand square meters, with provide warm water, not only to hotel rooms but also to the kitchens, bars, restaurants and even a pool. This is an optimal ways of nature usage.

Meanwhile, not only the height and new technologies make Dubai hotels beyond the reach – the average price of hotel rooms in the city was recognized the highest in the world while compared with many more. On average, tourists will have to pay 226 dollars for a night in this city. In addition, the cost of living increases in Dubai every month – for September, for example, it has grown by 10%. Well, imagine the prices for the December.

Despite the rise in prices in hotels, the total number of tourists from all over the world who have visited Dubai, has increased by 5%.

Seven well-known hotel brands, designed for 2 thousand rooms, a world level golf club, a summer residence, a business center, a spa and entertainment complexes will be located on the territory of the new resort. Tourists will be entertained, not only by playing golf, but also travel to the ancient city of Hue, which is now under the protection of UNESCO, and the commercial port Hoi. In the first stage of construction two hotels, Banyan Tree Hue and Angsana Hue, with 350 rooms, and created a golf course with 18 holes will be built.

A new golf club Montgomerie Links Vietnam, which is designed for golfers of all levels of training, has opened not far from the resort of Danang in August 2009. The golf club with 18 holes is situated on the natural landscape, rich dunes, with views of the Marble Mountains and the South China Sea. The club occupies over 700 thousand square meters of territory. The modern Golf Academy is also located here, where you can learn the sport from professionals from around the world which adds additional boost to the visitors. Construction of a golf club took more than 2 years, and about 54 million dollars was invested.

According to the Vietnamese tour managers, the creation of these golf clubs is justified. After all, the golf tourism in Asia is developing successfully, despite the consequences of global financial crisis. The leaders in this field in the region are Thailand and Malaysia which are the main competitors of this country. The revenue from the sports tourism is about $800 million a year and they increase by 10% annually. Experts believe that the Asian countries are not making right decision betting on elite sport, because apart from wealthy tourists, modern Asian fields have raised interest among sports associations who are seeking new territories for the international competitions.

Let us remind, that according to the statistics provided by the National Agency of Vietnam, for the first 7 months of 2009 the country lost 18,7% of tourists compared to the same period in 2008. Major countries providing tourists to Vietnam, China, South Korea and Japan, showed a decline of 37%. The reason for this decline of interest of travelers to Vietnam is the financial crisis and pandemic “of swine flu”. However, local tour managers do not give up and believe that betting on sports trend in tourism will give further chances in the struggle to attract tourists to Vietnam and will become a great way for the budget fulfilling for this country.

Don’t Go to have a look at Mona Lisa
Every day, the Louvre is attended by 25 thousand people and it seems most of them run to admire the famous Mona Lisa in the first place.  The first disappointment comes to be that in fact, the portrait is much smaller than we think, after scrutiny of reproductions in the magazine and pictures all over the web. When only one person gets too close to the picture his head almost completely closes it. Naturally, to see anything in such circumstances is simply impossible.

It is better to go against the main stream of visitors and enjoy the remaining thirty-five thousand treasures of the palace which can be admired entirely. Apartments of Napoleon III, the incredible Egyptian gallery and the remaining from the original building design of the Louvre, dating from XII century are more worth your attention.

Don’t Take a River Dinner Cruise
River Cruise is, in fact, an excellent thing and well worth the 12 euros, which it costs. It allows you to see the city from a different angles and different spots. But when it comes to food on  the board, the price of your trip may increase in 5-7 times. The only thing you get is dinner with a fairly limited choice of dishes in a noisy crowd of people effecting on your appetite.
There is no reason to eat anything bad in the culinary capital of the world where there are a huge number of Michelin stars awarded restaurants.

Don’t Climb the Eiffel Tower
Another cult place, mandatory for every Paris visitor, is a queue to the elevator of the Eiffel Tower. Specifically, there are seven lines, one for each elevator, to the controller and the cashier. Isn’t this just enough for being annoyed.At the same time inside the creation of Gustave Eiffel looks not as fascinating as from the outside.
If the main reason to climb the tower is the desire to see the city from a bird’s flight, it is better to see the tower from outside and go to another places for better scenes. Excellent panoramic view opens from the Tour Montparnasse and even the Arc de Triomphe.

Don’t Visit the Bastille
Visiting the Bastille could be disappointing. The Bastille fortress was completely destroyed during the Revolution, and the tourists go there only to find, a busy traffic intersection and nothing more. So the tale of the once a powerful fortress might remain just at the point it was known to you.
If you wish to get acquainted with the history of the city it is much better to visit a Musée Carnavalet.

Don’t Take a Da Vinci Code Tour
Most of any such tours are merely an expensive wiring for tourists. They will, most likely, not show you a lot of sights and most of the time typical ones.  You will go around the city on the bus, forced to get out of it each time at the sight of the next place, starred in a  shot of some movie.
It is better to spend money on a normal informative tour of the city, in accordance with your interests. Here you are, at least, hear the real history of Paris and learn something new.

Don’t Drink Coffee in the “Famous” Café
Once there is something remarkable in the history of café, it is immediately occupied by the crowds of tourists, prices go up in several times, and the quality of food and drinks fed rapidly deteriorates. The Café de Flore or the Deux Magots – favorite place of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, or Café des Deux Moulins are just samples  of these places.
It is better to look at the places next door. Most likely, there is a great place nearby, whose owners, trying to survive in competition with the famous cafe, keep the normal price, and pay attention to quality and offer a higher servicing.

Don’t Go to Nice
For unclear reasons, most travelers who want to see something more than Paris, automatically think of Nice. However, the only thing that they find there is a bustling city overflowing with ugly pebble beaches and poor history to tell. You can poke a finger in almost any city on the map of France (except maybe the Marseilles), and it will certainly be better than Nice.

It is better to consider other options available. Bordeaux is just perfect for beach holidays. Here you can watch the competition in windsurfing, and there is the biggest dune in Europe, the Dune du Pyla, and the summit which offers stunning views of the Atlantic, the surrounding pine forests and on the chain of the Pyrenees. However, there is no need to go far from Paris. Loire Valley is located just an hour away, and its historical, cultural and gastronomic attractions will be able to keep you busy for a week or even a month.

Goa is divided into northern and southern parts. The border is considered to be Fort Aguada. The southern beaches are sandy, clean, designed for wealthy holidaymakers. The sea is warm, calm over there. While  not rich tourists, students, hippies, musicians, prefer to stay in the north.

On the beaches there are discos, variety of shops, eateries, bustling bazaars. All the beaches are municipal, but those portions of the beach, which are assigned to specific hotels, are protected.

Usage of the rest of beaches and equipments are free of charge.

North Goa
Tiracol

Arambol
Arambol Beach is also known as Harman. The sand here is soft and white. On red soil among the rare stones are cottages and freshwater pond. The road to the beach is surrounded by huts of locals who sell souvenirs and clothing to tourist. While the last offer might sound a more effect reason to visit here.

Vagator
Tour operators have long mastered the Vagator, so it’s quite difficult for tourists to find a place in this hotel.
Steep hill leading down to the beach of Vagator, is enriched by Chapora Fort, built in 1617 by the Portuguese in the ruins of more ancient Islamic buildings. A fantastic view of the neighborhood opens from the fort. In this part of the beach there are high cliffs, popular among honeymooners and those looking for solitude.
A little further south is a small quiet beach, known as Little Vagator beach or Ozran. It is less known and therefore less populated. The uniqueness is guaranteed here.

Anjuna
The beach is located 8 km from the town of Mapusa. In 10-12th centuries the city was a trading port of the Arabs and was called the “Chamber of Commerce.” Now every Wednesday there is a flea market here, which is the most famous and “rich” in the state. Here you can find everything – from products of Tibetan weavers to china cups. But the most amazing is the atmosphere over there and the communications between buyers and sellers.
Anjuna is the most photographed beach of Goa. This means that you will not find privacy here. Lovers of exotics come here from everywhere. Also the full moon night raves are held here. So this is somewhat a perfect spot for those who like even more adventure.

South Goa
Aguada
The beautiful sandy beach, lying under the walls of the old Portuguese fort Aguada, opens a line of beaches in South Goa. Tourists can enjoy luxury hotels and tourist village of South Goa. Beach is clean, well-groomed, well-equipped. The attractiveness of the beach is the space share of the tourist among themselves and those alike. So company might be a best choice of yours.

Miramar
Miramar is also known as Gaspar Dias. It is located 3 km from downtown Panaji, with a few she-pak forests. Children love to play in the sand on the beach, as these places are good for sunbathing and walking. Bathing in local waters is not completely safe though. The spot is ideal if you prefer to have a walk and spend your leisure time together with a group of friends or just have fun while playing with water.

Dona Paula
Gulf of Dona Paula is where two large Indian River meet the Arabian Sea. A magnificent view of the Mormugao harbor opens here. This is a cozy place, hidden on the south side of a rocky plateau that separates the full-flowing rivers. In the western part of the beach is the official residence of the Governor of Goa.
The beach is a paradise for lovers and has received its name in honor of Dona Paula de Menezes, daughter of the vice-governor, which, according to legend, threw herself from a cliff, when she was separated from her beloved fisherman. Her rebellious spirit still wanders in the neighborhood. It is said that on moonlit nights you can see her on the waves in a pearl necklace. This romantic history leads to the effect of possible stay with the beloved as the place believed to be a place for those who you like more.
In Dona Paula is one of the best sports clubs in Goa. You can do any kinds of water sports here.

Bogmalo
Bogmalo is small cove with a sandy beach surrounded by palm trees. Beach is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas. It is only 4 km to Dabolim airport and 8 km to the port town of Vasco-Da-Gama. The waters are safe for swimmers, on the shore there are many cafes and souvenir shops. On the way to the beach is the Museum of naval aviation. In the depths of the coast you can see magnificent coconut groves. This beach is worth of visiting especially if your goal of visit is the active time spending in India.

So enjoy your rest while choosing  one of these beaches offered  that best fits your interest.

Sirocco
Bangkok, Thailand
There is no single night in Bangkok that passes by without full house at the famous bar-restaurant called Sirocco. One of the most prestigious and expensive bars in the capital of Thailand is located on the 64th floor of State Tower skyscraper. The hotel that can truly be called a skyscraper was built originally as a complex of luxury apartments for long stay guests earlier.

Sirocco is open for its visitors not only at night, so those who wish to dine in a picturesque place will hardly find a better alternative. Lunch or dinner at Sirocco can cost a pretty penny, but at the entrance you will have to pass the dress code, so you might choose an appropriate attire to be able to get in.

But it’s worth to visit this place at least once to go up to the top of the glass bar, to touch the sky and breathe the warm air of Asia. These are the memories that last a lifetime for sure.

The Penthouse
Madrid, Spain

The luxury hotel Me by Melia, which is considered to be the pride of Madrid is located in the heart of the city. The Me by Melia, in turn, has a separate “zest” – bar called The Penthouse, located on the roof became a favorite place for all tourists. Climbing up to the bar, you can see all the beauty of central Madrid. It seems impossible to think of a better location to see the area of Santa Ana.

The bar owner, Ranger Gerber, is a famous entrepreneur in the area of nightlife and the husband of Cindy Crawford. Exclusively star guests are visiting the bar. Mere mortals will be able to visit the place during the “happy hour”. The bar is, of course, working until three o’clock in the morning, but getting there after midnight is an extremely difficult task to do. The large crowds wishing to visit this place speaks for itself.

Luna Bar
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Rooftop Bar will especially be a good place for movie lovers. In addition to drink and delicious food, the evening program includes watching various films in the hall with a capacity of 200 people. So try to get into the top 100!

Gravity
Dublin, Ireland
In December 2000, 50 million dollars was invested in the project to restore the Guinness Storehouse. Since the architect Robinson Keefe Devane converted this room into a museum, the cradle of brand dark beer, which became one of the most recognizable brands, began to attract many more tourists from all over the world.

Founded in 1904, the seven-storey building was designed primarily for storage of ingredients for the neighborhood brewery called St.James’ Gate. But now a Gravity Bar is located on its roof. It is an indispensable para stop of visitors to the museum, where everyone can enjoy a panoramic view of Dublin. It is believed that the bar can be visited only by paying an entrance fee to the museum. But if you want to drink a mug of Guinness beer, then you can get into the bar absolutely free of charge, finding the path to a hotel elevator. Statistics show that annually Gravity bar is visited by about 570 thousand tourists.

Moon
Las Vegas, Nevada

The sound system in the club is extremely strong, so at first some visitors don’t even feel comfortable because of the strong sound. But the charming atmosphere will make you relax afterwards for sure.

Captain Bar
Shanghai, China
This is a cool place that offers a huge selection of cocktails and offers its visitors beautiful views of the The Bund skyscraper.

On April 8, 2012, as 100 years ago, a huge ocean liner will depart on a journey to America from Southampton, and by April 15 will arrive to the place of the North Atlantic, where the Titanic had sank.

Organizers of the “titanic tour” promise  tourists almost full compliance of the atmosphere prevailing on board with the one that was on the famous ship. Lunch menu will be exactly restored and it will be served under the music of the past millennium. Dances are also going to be old-fashioned. Furthermore, when the cruiser arrives to the place of the tragedy, a memorial service will take place on board.

After that, the ship will travel to Halifax, and travelers can visit the three cemeteries, where the passengers and crew of the Titanic were buried. And then the cruise liner will bring tourists to New York.

The 12-day trip will cost tourists not less than 4400 dollars. However, as reported by the representatives of Miles Morgan Travel, organizers of the tour, all cheap accommodation and inside cabin of lower classes have already been sold. The tourists are not deterred even by the fact that most of the passengers set out on the Titanic in similar cabins died.

The memory Cruise of the Titanic will be held on board of the Balmoral cruise ship, owned by Olsen Cruise Lines. The ship can accommodate 1,350 visitors in 710 cabins, and its crew of 510 people. The original Titanic sank after it collided with an iceberg in 1912, somewhere between 23.40 pm on April 14 and 02.20 am on April 15. 1,517 of the 2,223 people on board died.

Interestingly, the company Fred Olsen, who owns the ship Balmoral, is a subsidiary of the company on whose shipyards the Titanic was built. Olsen Cruise Lines company, which is using the ship, is based in the UK. There are so many coincidences that if icebergs will appear on the horizon on April 14, tourists should think about keeping life-jackets on hand.

According to the announcements 13 thousand flight attendants and stewards serving flights, will not go to work on Christmas Eve.

The administration of British Airways, which has suffered huge losses because of the crisis in 2009 has been negotiating with the union stewards for a long time, insisting on the reduction of 1,700 seats out of 14000 posts. In an attempt to reduce costs the company has already ceased to serve free snacks and drinks on flights of short distance, and asked some staff to work a month without pay. Moreover, the salary of new employees was reduced by one third, although it is still 10% higher than other airlines’.

The administration of British Airways indicated that it pays the stewards more than the competitor airlines. They also mentioned that the three-quarters of the aircrew will be included in the new salary scale on which staff is waiting for wage increases ranging from 2 to 7% in the future.

However, the flight attendants’ union said that the leadership of the airline strives to force the deal to employees, rather than continue negotiations to reach a mutually beneficial solution.

If the strike is still held, it will seriously damage the business reputation of the airline.

438 domestic and international flights were canceled in Spain, because of the strike in the Iberia airlines, which lasted 26 and 27 October. About 40 thousand passengers got stuck at airports in Madrid and Barcelona. Unions of pilots insist on increase of wages, which have not been indexed for already 4 years, but the leadership of the airline insists that because of the difficult financial situation that the airlines are facing, the strikers’ demands can not be fulfilled. As a result, if the administration of Iberia and the unions fail to agree, there will be a new two-day strike, which will be held on November 10 and 11.

The newly formed young states had no interest in science or at least the budgeting wasn’t enough, while the task of defending the borders assigned was the responsibility of powerful neighbors.

Here are just a few of the thousands of buildings hidden in the mountains and forests that characterize all the power of the collapsed empire. These are just the most valuable ones, which became unnecessary during the division of property between the once-fraternal republics.

Balaclava, Crimea, Ukraine
The secret submarine base in a small Crimean town of Balaclava is one of the largest military installations that have been abandoned after the collapse of the USSR. A complex, containing ammunition (including nuclear) and performed repairs of submarines , is located at the Tavros mountain since 1961. The dock base could shelter up to 14 submarines of different classes, and the whole complex was able to withstand a direct hit of a nuclear bomb with the capacity of up to 100 kT. Abandoned in 1993 the site was pillaged for scrap metal by local residents and only in 2002 on the remains of the submarine base was organized into a museum complex.

Abandoned Missile Silos, Kekava, Latvia
After the collapse of the empire the young republic of Latvia inherited a lot of military equipments, including launching tubes of ballistic missiles scattered in the forests. The remains of a missile complex “Dvina” are spread Not far from the capital of Latvia. Built in 1964, the object consisted of 4 silos with the depth of about 35 meters and underground bunkers. Many of the premises are currently flooded, and a visit to the launcher without an experienced guide is not recommended. Remains of toxic rocket fuel also pose a threat so this exclusive spot needs to be attended due to worthy interest!

Giant Excavators, Moscow Region
Until 1993 Lopatinsky Phosphorite mine was quite a successful existing mine, which was  serving  as the best  Soviet agriculture resources obtaining place. And with the advent of market economy, abandoned a career with giant bucket excavators have become a place of pilgrimage for tourists. You should hurry if you want to visit this place, as the huge mechanical dinosaurs are gradually dismantled for scrap. But even after the dismantling of the latest technology Lopatinsky career will remain very remarkable place due to unearthly landscapes. By the way, here it is still possible to find fossils of ancient sea creatures as it is said so.

Woodpecker, Pripyat, Ukraine
The titanic building, founded in 1985 to detect launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles, could operate successfully up to this days, however it worked less than a year due to the governmental changes. Giant antenna with the height of 150 meters and a length of 800 consumed a lot of  electricity due to the fact that it was built almost right next to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.  Of course,  the building ceased its operation together with the explosion of the station.

Ionosphere Study Station, Zmiev, Ukraine
Almost before the collapse of the Soviet Union an ionospheric research station was built near Kharkov, which was a direct analogue to the American HAARP project in Alaska. The station consisted of several antenna fields and the giant parabolic antenna with a diameter of 25 meters, capable of radiating power output of 25 MW. But advanced and very expensive scientific equipment was useless for the young Ukrainian state, because of the harsh of usage . Once a secret station  it is now interesting only for stalkers and hunters for non-ferrous metals. And of course, it is visited by an amount of tourists.

Now tourists traveling to India, have not a lot of choices on which train to travel –they have to choose between  traveling on conventional trains, in the cars packed with the Indians, chickens and bags of belongings, or on luxury trains, the tickets for which are too expensive.

New car designers are working on now, are provided with ergonomically designed seats and toilets, wide beds, and leave more  free space for passengers’ feet. In addition, they will be adapted for traveling people with different disabilities.

The windows in the carriages will be wider to allow tourists a better view, and young boys and girls, who will be trained to be hospitable and communicative  with foreigners, will be selected as tourist guides. Special booklets will tell visitors about new Indian trains. This booklets will be distributed to agencies in major cities of Europe, USA and South-East Asia.

Let us remind that the state of trains in India today leaves much to be desired.  Train-involved accidents are frequent here, and many of them go back to the root time of English colonization. However, trains are the most common high-speed, but not too reliable transport in this country. Therefore, the vast majority of local residents are traveling by train. Trains are overcrowded and many Indians climb on the roofs of cars, which often leads to tragic consequences afterwards.

Thus, in late January 2009 as a result of the railway incident in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, 6 people were killed and 200 wounded. Many young people on their way to the recruiting station, sat directly on the roofs of cars of express, on route from the city of Allahabad to the city of Faizabad. The tragedy occurred because of the fact that people were swept away from the wagons by overhanging tree branches.

Illustrative is the statement by the Minister of Railway Transport of India, who in 2004 took no responsibility for accidents, which are constantly taking place in one of the largest systems in the world of communications. He said that the fate of 13 million passengers using trains every day, is in the hands of the god of machines Vishvakarman. “Indian Railways are under the authority of God Vishvakarman. Therefore, ensuring the safety of passengers is his duty, not mine “, – said Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav during his visit to his native city of Patna in eastern India.

1. Don’t Play Pachinko
Despite the fact that gambling is not much welcomed in Japan, yakuza, of course, found a way to bypass restrictions and came up with “Japanese pinball”. They play it on  heavy metal balls, which formally can not be exchanged for money. But prizes are given out for these balls, which you can then sell in special shops around the corner, which, of course, has no relation to the gambling establishment. There is nothing dangerous to go play pachinko, but do not expect that the local casinos will even remotely resemble the huge halls of Las Vegas.

Places to play Japanese pinball are rather similar to the gambling houses recently-existing near the subway stations: stuffy, noisy, dark and smoky. You probably can’t affect the course of the game as well. After throwing, the ball is flying uncontrollably through the maze inside the machine until it stops.

If you really want to be surrounded by multiple screams and intrusive noise, it’s better go to karaoke. Karaoke bars, by the way, also have nothing to do with the ones you can find in other countries. The whole space is divided into separate cubicles, so all those present at the institution do not necessarily listen to how you bother the ears of your friends. All is quiet, peaceful and private. Sometimes drinks are also included in the cost of entrance ticket.

2. Don’t Climb Mount Fuji in “Hot Season”
During the official climbing season, which is in August, you will not only have to stand in long lines to be able to move to the top of the mount, but also to admire the pictures, filled with people of different nationalities, behind whom the mountains are not even visible.
It is better to choose a more quiet time:  like September or October, when there is still little snow and you can climb safely without long waiting lines. Later, in November or December, you may not simply be allowed to the slope until you are sure about your “mountaineering “skills or you are a professional mountain-climber. April-May is not suitable because of the rains. If you are an adventure fan of travel and have strong health, then you should try Fuji Mountain Race.

3. Don’t Drink in Park Hyatt Hotel
The bar, located on the top of the hotel, which became world famous through the film “Lost in Translation”, is worth to visit  if you are a fan of Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray. Everyone else won’t be eager to pay 40-50 dollars for just a small plate of cheese and fruit.
It is better to look for a less glorious place, because you can admire the city views from many  other points. The first thing that comes to mind is a gallery and coffee shop on the roof of the shopping center Roppongi Hills.

4. Don’t Dress up as a Geisha
There are quite a lot of places that offer to dress you up as a real geisha. In some places for 100-300 dollars your face will be painted with white paint,  your hair  will be done just like geisha do and  your body will be wrapped in a silk kimono. Besides, you will be given several photos that will be possible to show your friends on arrival. Alas, no matter how hard makeup artist try, they cannot do anything with your European appearance, and you will still look extremely ridiculous in the traditional Japanese garb.
It is better to go and see the only Western woman who could become a real geisha.

5. Do not travel the country to see the best cherry blossom
Even if you happen to be in Japan in April, when the trees hid pinkish-white hazy blanket, do not immediately go on a trip to the country in pursuit of a better place, where you can picnic and enjoy the quiet of cherry blossoms. Many do so, starting their journey from the south of Okinawa in March and ending in Hokkaido in early May. In fact, the cherry blossoms are the same everywhere, and spending much time on such a trip is not worth it and its just a loss of time.

It is better to go to the nearest to your hotel park, spread out the mat, open the bottle of Asahi and enjoy the slowly falling to the ground petals. Certainly, there are more beautiful trees in Japan, the petals of which are more pink and bigger. But the essence of the holiday is in quiet contemplation, but not in the bustle and comparison.
