			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone!  My girlfriend wants to travel to Brazil next year for carnival, and would like to use a travel agent to plan our arrangements, while I would much rather plan everything on my own using the internet as a primary resource. Could anyone tell me the benefits and negative aspects of using a travel agent to plan a vacation of this type?  Also, I would really appreciate it if anyone who recently traveled to Rio De Janiero could share some opinions and perhaps &#8220;insider&#8221; tips on traveling to this destination.  Thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>Because of the recent sluggishness in the world&#8217;s economies, many people are avoiding holiday trips. For example, a recent survey showed that one in three British citizens are avoiding foreign travel as a way to save money. Also, many travelers are avoiding travel insurance, and at least two-thirds of vacationers are hoping to use their savings to fund trips instead of using credit.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Cost cutting is taking other forms, as well. Many are opting for do-it-yourself home repairs in order to save on labor costs. More and more British citizens are spending time at home as a bulwark against unstable financial forces. North Scotland is experiencing the largest impact as 89 percent of households are altering their routines in order to save money.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Unfortunately, this change in holiday travelers&#8217; habits will have an effect on many of the top tourism destinations. While the wealthy class will keep traveling and spending, the average citizen won&#8217;t be able to go abroad for vacations. Elite vacation spots will retain their status but less glamorous destinations will feel the impact of less tourism revenue.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In particular, Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands, will likely experience a significant drop in its tourism industry. While Gran Canaria has its share of wealthy travelers, most of the visitors to the island come from a more modest background. Affordable food and accommodations made it enticing for the average British family to travel to the island in years past. This year, saving money by staying home is a more attractive option for many Britons.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Gran Canaria is often called a &#8216;mini-continent&#8217; because of its diverse climatology. The climate varies so much from area to area that the island seems much larger than it actually is. Many holiday goers love this unique property of Gran Canaria. There are 32 natural protected spaces on the island. In such places, nature takes a front seat to mankind&#8217;s encroachment.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
One of the most popular natural destinations of Gran Canaria is a wild bird refuge called Palmitos Park. The aviary and botanical garden give visitors a great view of the natural landscape of Gran Canaria. Situated in the countryside within the mountains, Palmitos Park also contains an amphitheater where shows featuring wild birds of prey are performed for the public. This amphitheater is incorporated into the natural surroundings so as not to disturb the feel of the park.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Playa de Ingles is another popular destination for tourists. Build around the Yumbo Centrum shopping center, this area contains a great set of dance clubs for those seeking some nightlife. Playa de Ingles also has a fabulous beach, lagoon and lighthouse that are ideal for sightseers and beachgoers.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
With travel expenses increasing exponentially, many people from all over the world will avoid lavish travel and distant holiday destinations like Gran Canaria. The economic downturn is likely temporary, but it will negatively impact the tourism industry of Gran Canaria in coming months. Hopefully, in a short time, economic woes will ease and the average vacationer will be able to relax on a beach in the Canary Islands once again.</p>

<p>Information about traveling to and within the country of Spain including flights, rail and road travel and ferry services</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mainland Spain is situated on the Iberian peninsula in the southwest of Europe. It also encompasses two groups of islands. The Islas Baleares (Balearic Islands), in the Mediterranean, Mallorca the largest island is just over one hundred miles off the eastern coast and the Islas Canarias (Canary Islands) which are situated approximately five hundred miles to the southwest and lie off the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Mellila and Cueta are two Spanish enclaves in Morocco on the African continent.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Whilst Spain is one of the world&#8217;s leading destinations for the package holiday there is more to this country than the beaches of the costas and islands. The independent traveler will want to move around see what more Spain has to offer.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Getting there &#8211; There are thirty one airports on the mainland serving the following cities and towns: A Coruna, Albacete, Alicante, AlmerÃ­a, Asturias, Badajoz, Barcelona, Bilbao, Burgos, Cordoba, Girona, Granada, Jerez de la Frontera, Leon, Madrid, Malaga, Murcia, Pamplona, Reus, Sabadell, Salamanca, San Sebastian, Santander, Santiago, Sevilla, Valencia, Valladolid, Vigo and Zaragoza. In the Canaries the islands of El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, Lanzarote and Tenerife and in the Balearics Ibiza, Menorca and Mallorca all have airports. Gibraltar, the British colony at the southern most tip of Spain, also has it&#8217;s own airport. British Airways and the Monarch fly daily to Gibraltar from several departure points in the United Kingdom and Monarch has some very good deals on seats. Major carriers provide scheduled flights to Spain but it is also a principal destination for budget airlines with return flights available for less than 100 Euros from other European cities. It is also possible to pick up bargain seats on the many charter flights serving the tourist industry. Air travel within Spain, with the exception of a couple of budget airlines, is expensive.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Major roads provide access from Portugal to the west and France which borders Spain to the northeast. Road travel within the country can vary. Many roads are not of a good standard but Spain has received billions of Euros in aid from the European Union and much of this has been spent on the infrastructure and so it is also possible to travel on some of the newest and finest roads on the continent. The country is well served by many bus companies linking the major towns and cities with express services. There are also a wealth of local bus services.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The train service is well developed enabling access to the country from both Portugal and France and fast travel between towns and cities within Spain. Fares are cheap compared to some other major European countries. Madrid and Barcelona are served by extensive Metro (underground railway) networks.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In addition to the many inter island services ferries run from the mainland to both the island groups and the two enclaves in Morocco. The Canary Islands are served by a boat running from Cadiz. The journey is long, some 48 hours and the sea conditions often make for a rough passage. It may be preferable to fly although as we have already pointed out this can be expensive. Ferries from Tariffa and Algeciras, in the Andalucian province of Cadiz, run to Tanger in Morroco. Ferries also link the enclave of Cueta with Tariffa, Algeciras and Malaga. Mellila, the other enclave is served by a boats out of Malaga and Almeria. The Balearic Islands have services to the mainland running to Barcelona, Valencia and Denia.</p>

<p>An early Easter holiday provides a nice jumpstart for tourists beginning their yearly treks.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Easter is a popular time for travel. People love getting out and being able to enjoy the sun after several months of winter. Several people choose Florida as their Easter-time destination because of the warmer climate.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Easter is always celebrated the second Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. The holiday is usually in early April and provides a break for students as well as working adults. However, in 2008, Easter was on March 23 and provided an earlier spring break than usual. To many people around the world, Easter marks the beginning of spring. It is also one of the most travelled holidays. An early start to spring means an early start for tourism.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
During Easter 2008, the British airports for example saw a dramatic rise in business. Manchester airport alone saw more than 200,000 travellers over the holiday weekend. In the London area another 400,000 departed from Heathrow, 250,000 from Gatwick, 170,000 from Stansted and 60,000 from Luton. An estimated 2 million Brits had big holiday plans. Most travellers were either headed to the mountains for skiing or to the Spanish islands for sunbathing.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Scotland saw a big winter freeze over the Easter holiday weekend. Many Scots booked flights to warmer locales to escape the freezing weather for the weekend. Some of the most popular destinations for Scots escaping unfavourable weather were Dubai, Alicante and Tenerife. Those who decided to stay home for the Easter weekend were advised to bundle up and stay warm.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
For those passengers seeking sunshine, the Balearic and Canary Islands were very popular destinations. Some chose to go further abroad and ventured to Florida in the USA. Most airlines reported holiday flight schedules sold out for the holiday weekend.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The Canary Islands have a lot to offer the winter-weary traveler looking for a nice beach to hang out on. They are located just north of the Western Sahara desert in Africa and southwest of Spain and Portugal. The flight from England is only a few short hours and very worth the time spent. The Canary Islands consist of seven large islands, two smaller islands and several islets. The climate is perfect nearly year round with more than 300 days of sunshine per year.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Tenerife, is the largest and perhaps most visited of the seven large islands. It has a surface area of 2,034 km. (785 sq. mi.) and a population of fewer than 1 million. It is a very well-known and highly sought-after holiday destination, especially for Brits. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Many resorts and country clubs on Tenerife offer a variety of sporting events, including golf, squash and tennis. Diving is very popular among visitors because of the crystal clear waters and abundance of marine life. Other water sports are also very popular on Tenerife. Several of the resorts and country clubs on the island also have first class golf courses.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In order to please more visitors, Tenerife opened a new water park in April. The enormous water park is only the beginning of improvements and additions to the island for 2008. The park is the largest water park on the Canary Islands and features Siamese themes. The park cost an impressive 52 million Euros to construct. Some of the rides include The Volcano, The Dragon, Wave Palace and Jungle Snake.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
One of Siam Park&#8217;s largest attractions is the Jungle Snake: four water slides that follow the park&#8217;s terrain. The Lost City, a play area with 120 fun and exciting games, is expected to receive rave reviews, especially from smaller children. To add to the fun there is a sea lion pool near the park&#8217;s main entrance and a fully equipped amphitheater.</p>
