Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and is often the premier destination for Europe’s elite. Many celebrities such as Julia Roberts and Sting go to Sardinia for relaxation and seclusion. Travel to Sardinia is not difficult, as there are three international airports on the island. You can also travel to Sardinia by ferry or ship, as well.

Once you have arrived, you’ll need to make some choices concerning your transportation around the island. Many of the hotels offer shuttle service from the airports to the hotel. When you travel to Sardinia, make sure you inquire if this service is available. There are also car rentals available in every airport and in some of the towns.

You can get around Sardinia by train and bus, but not very quickly. It is definitely worth the money to rent a car. There are also many enchanting, remote areas to visit on the island and it could take you quite awhile to get there by commercial transportation means.

Unlike Italy, travel to Sardinia and on the island is not as dangerous as you might expect. Traffic moves much slower here due to the narrow, winding roads. These roads are quite often deserted, so when a driver meets another vehicle, it could be quite unexpected.

If you want to find the best deals on travel to Sardinia, here are some tips to help locate great savings:

1. Plan Your Vacation Ahead of Time: It is a well known fact that the farther in advance you plan your trip, the lower the cost. So pick your dates as soon as you are able to. Travel to Sardinia can be somewhat expensive if you wait to the last minute to book your airfare.

2. Buy a Vacation Package: Many of the online travel sites can give you great deals on travel to Sardinia when you book a complete package. You can include airfare and accommodations, as well as excursions for diving and sightseeing.

3. Call the Airlines Directly: Occasionally you can find a better deal when you call the airline than if you go through a travel website or agent. However, most of the travel sites and agencies reserve blocks of seats, which is how they get the best rates.

4. Travel Mid-Week: When you travel to Sardinia during the middle of the week, you could end up saving hundreds of dollars in airfare. Most of the cheapest airfare is available on Tuesday and Wednesday. While this is the best time to travel to Sardinia, they are also the best days to book your reservation.

5. Make Use of Those Travel Rewards: Why let your frequent flyer miles expire? Use them to grab up an airline ticket for free or to purchase a reduced companion fare. Many restrictions usually apply to these types of tickets, so be sure you read the fine print.

6. Check with Specialty Charters: Many charter services are available for Mediterranean destinations. If you are looking for deals at the last minutes, this may be your best bet. Most of the time, these charter companies have already purchased a block of tickets. If it is close to the departure date, you may be able to get a ticket at a really reduced rate. The charter companies would rather make a little money on a ticket than lose the fare altogether.

Mumbai – The New Business

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Lately Mumbai has been a lot in the news, be it fluctuating stock market, clash between business tycoons, terrorist attacks on the most prestigious property, change of government and last but not the least the most talked about slum area, which has gained lot of attention after the popularity of  “Slumdog Millionaire” movie.
Slumdog Millionaire needs no introduction, as the movie and its cast have gained international fame, by winning the most prestigious award The Oscars. While the stars of the movie are enjoying their visit to other countries, here back in India a lot of interest is growing amongst the national and international traveler to visit the slum areas of Mumbai.

Mumbai tour though has always been on the top priority of inbound tourists, but now there is a new addition in the itinerary and it is the slum tour. The movie has raised many question, as is this what the real India is? Is slum the only interesting part left in India? The answer may be no but on second thought, Mumbai tour gives boast to the city which does not really look after the slum area. Now the revenue generated from the slum tour can be invested in the upliftment of the people living there. These tour would also help in people to understand the lives of the poor. How they manage their big families in small income. It is very interesting to see how they accommodate themselves in such small houses.  Moreover it would break the barrier between the rich and the poor.

The impact of the movie is such that it has apparently given a lot of business to the tour operator as well as to the hotels in Mumbai. There is also a rise in the online queries regarding the Mumbai slum tour. Dharavi- the biggest slum of Asia, needs no introduction too, as Slumdog Millionaire is based out of this area only. Dharavi has a long list of esteemed visitors, two of which are -  Prince Charles and Bill Clinton. Those living near the slum area agree to the fact that now there is a new way to look at the slum. Though there are lot of problems but at the same there comes a lot of help from these areas, as one easily get daily workers, maids to look after the house as well as children. With the rising working population, there has been a rise in the demand for the household maids, and these slums are indeed to look forward to that. At the same time, for the people living in these slums, nearby middle class population is the source of income. Women especially get jobs easily in the nearby residential areas. Dharavi is also the center of the small scale industries, with people starting their own business from home. Every member of the family, joins in to promote the home business and therefore it boast a lot of self employment.

Before the movie, Mumbai hotels located near the slum area might have faced location problem. But now guess they are the most happy ones, benefiting from the tourists interest to live near these areas. Mumbai tourism itself want people to visit the slum areas, to generate revenue for the people of slum and also to bring two different class and society to come together, to increase the understanding and to look forward to personal aid from them. Earlier visiting India and not visiting Mumbai would have left the trip incomplete and now visiting India and not visiting the slum of Dharavi- Mumbai, would be like missing the real flavor of the city.

How to Get a Mortgage That Gets You in Your Dream Home

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

It was only a few years ago that Freehold Dubai property was unheard of, so it’s not all that surprising that until very recently the mortgages available here were fairly limited. It is far too easy to forget that only a decade or so ago, what is now row after row of high rise buildings and luxury villas used to be empty desert, with just a few scattered buildings. Well you may have noticed things have come along way in a short time since then. Dubai has transformed itself into one of the hottest property markets and tourists destinations in the world. Yet despite this, when trying to purchasing a property, buyers were finding themselves with a very limited choice of mortgages, and those that were available were not offering vary favorable rates. Buyers only had a choice of Amlak for Emaar properties and with Nakheel’s property their financer Tamweel. Therefore with no competition and no solid legal frame work in place the market was destined to have to improve.

And I am glad to say that has been the case! The market has now been opened up by the government, resulting in a much improved situation for property buyers. You now have world renowned lenders like Barclays, HSBC along with the likes of RakBank and National Bank of Dubai competing with Amlak and Tamweel, who have been forced to reduce their rates with the extra competition. So, you may be thinking that this is all well and good, but how does it actually save you money? Well, it’s not exactly a secrete that Dubai’s rents are rather on the high side. And when I say I mean up to and over 50% of people’s earnings. And what do they get at the end of all this, after paying out large sums of money every month. Nothing! And you don’t need to be an expert to figure out that is not exactly a great investment. It has got to the point where rents are nearing a similar level as mortgage repayments, throwing up the odd situation where you can purchase your own property for a similar monthly outgoing as your rent would be.
