Saint Lucia: The Member of Parliament for Castries Central, Richard Frederick, has said that Castries, capital of Saint Lucia, is not reflective of a city to which people would want to return, stluciatimes.com reported.

“I urge the authorities to put more emphasis on Castries Central, its cleanliness and its aesthetic appeal to the visitors to this country,” Frederick declared, noting that Saint Lucia is heavily dependent on tourism.

According to Mr.Frederick, whos a former Housing Minister, there is need to create an impression of the city that would instill in visitors a desire to return.

“Castries Central now leaves a lot to be desired,” he asserted.

The state of Castries has been the subject of much criticism, with both locals and visitors expressing concern about the cleanliness of the capital, the state of some of its buildings, the presence of vagrants and stray dogs roaming the streets, as well as indiscriminate urination in some areas.

Andrew Barr, Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has conceded the ACT government’s long running efforts to land international flights for Canberra could so far be limited to raising awareness of the city and region’s tourism potential, canberratimes.com reported.

Mr Barr met NSW Premier Mike Baird on Thursday, pitching the potential of direct international flights as an opportunity for Canberra region towns as well as the capital’s tourism providers.

The meeting came after he told a Legislative Assembly committee this week that any moves to schedule flights to Canberra from south-east Asia or New Zealand would ultimately come down to the potential for airlines to make money from new tickets.

Positive meetings with Virgin Australia chief executive John Borghetti and Qantas ACT regional general manager Allan Williams have continued and Mr Barr said he had spruiked Canberra to airlines including Cathay Pacific, Singapore, Air New Zealand, China Southern as well as some low-cost or alliance partners.

Lørdag 14.november åpner Tivoli i København sine førjulsporter: Plenen er omgjort til snøkledt alpeland, i Kina-området blir det musikalsk julelysshow der mer enn 16 000 lyspunkter foldet i et kjempemessig juleteppe, skriver VG.

Netthandelen tømmer lageret: Siste sjanse på kvalitetsvarer med opptil 75% rabatt

Det blir servert julemat på alle restaurantene i Tivoli, og du kan selvsagt kjøpe julegaver i de mange markedsbodene. Rotunden ved Tivolis konsertsal omdannes til en lysende juletromme, og fossen ned fra den gamle berg- og dalbanen (rutsjebanen) skal lyssettes for å bli et tindrende vannfall.

I det nordiske området bor “julemanden” (nissen), og i år har Tivoli gått til innkjøp av 30 000 nye julekuler som det har tatt ti dager å få på plass.

De voksne som besøker Tivoli oppunder jul bør også få med seg den årvisse Crazy Christmas Cabaret i Glassalen, der britisk slapstick-humor blandes med dansk god-stemning – en humoropplevelse av de store hvert eneste år.

Nyttårsaften byr Tivoli på kjempe-fyrverkeri, og 3.januar er det slutt for denne gang…

Radisson Blu Airport Hotel på Gardermoen fjerner spriten fra minibarene sine, slik at kjøleskapene kan holdes åpnet døgnet rundt, skriver VG.

Fram til nå er minibarene på hotellet blitt låst elektronisk klokken 03 på natten og holdt lukket til klokken 13 neste dag, for å tilfredsstille norsk alkoholvlovgivning.

Men med låste minibarer er det heller ikke mulig å leske seg med en kald brus om man våkner og er tørst midt på natten – med mindre man ringer resepsjonen.

-Tungvint og klønete, sier en hotellgjest til VG.

Og nå endrer altså hotellets ledelse strategi:

-Gardermoen-hotellet har hatt sprit i minibarene fordi det er ekstra mange internasjonale gjester her, men nå fjerner vi spritflaskene slik at minibarene kan holdes døgnåpne. Det er en bedre løsning, sier regiondirektør Tarje Hellebust i Carlton Rezidor-kjeden til VG.

Hotels in Dublin city have been experiencing occupancy levels of over 80 per cent, and there is an immediate need for new hotels in prime Dublin city locations. 

The Dublin market has seen a strong rebound in economic activity, with the Dublin hotel market benefiting from a surge in demand, irishtimes.com reported. 

Hotels in Dublin city have been experiencing occupancy levels of over 80 per cent, and there is an immediate need for new hotels in prime Dublin city locations.

In the next five years Dublin needs 5,000 additional rooms. However, the construction and development sector is slow to ramp up activity, with planning and funding of these projects the key hurdles.

In terms of funding, the challenge is that the time needed to deliver a hotel from the planning stages through to opening is at least three years, assuming funding is in place. While Dublin has queues of international funds keen to buy established city- centre hotels, as these hotels represent a quality asset class, there is limited funding available for a building project that brings the typical construction risks.

The need to fast-track hotel projects in Dublin city is critical and displacement should not be a concern. The issue is gap funding. While investors seeking to acquire an established hotel are plentiful, a gap exists around the necessary development Capital.

Det norske nordlyset skal frelse reiseglade franskmenn på Paris-metroen i vinter, skriver VG.

Det er Innovasjon Norge, Hurtigruten, Thon Hotels, Avinor, Fjord Tours, Widerøe og Nord-Norsk reiseliv som står bak en storstilt digital reklamekampanje i Paris – lysenes by.

Fram til midten av november skal nordlys-filmer rulle over 260 digitale skjermer på alle de større metrostasjonene i den franske hovedstaden. I tillegg vises filmene på en gigantisk skjerm i forretningslokalet La Defense.

-Et veldig sterkt visuelt uttrykk, som vi er sikre på vil vekke oppsikt og interesse hos pariserne, sier Tove Eliassen, markedssjef ved Innovasjon Norges kontor i Paris.

I tillegg er syv anerkjente franske bloggere invitert til Norge denne måneden for å jakte på nordlyset og norske vinteropplevelser i nord.

Bloggernes beretninger skal leses av millioner av franskmenn – morgendagens Nord-Norgeturister.

Following 16 months of restoration, water once again flows through the Baroque fountain in the Italian capital. The Trevi Fountain is a famous Rome landmark that draws millions of tourists from around the world, Deutsche Welle – dw.de, reported.

Thousands of tourists and locals celebrated the inauguration of the restored Trevi Fountain. “It’s very emotional, especially for us Romans,” said Silvia Venturini Fendi from the fashion house Fendi, which sponsored the restoration. The works cost a total 2.2 million euros ($2.4 million).

Rome’s culture superintendent, Claudio Parisi Presicce, marked the occasion by throwing a coin into the fountain, paying tribute to the legend that visitors who hurl a coin over their shoulders into the fountain are destined to return to Rome. During the restoration period, there was a replacement pool put in place to avoid frustrating tourists wishing to follow this tradition. Every year coins worth about a million euros are thrown into the Trevi Fountain.

The money is collected weekly and then donated to charities.

The Trevi Fountain, a masterpiece by Italian architect Nicola Salvi, was completed in 1762. At its center is the marble stone rendering of the water god Oceanus on a shell chariot. The Rome landmark was made famous by a scene in Federico Fellini’s 1960 film “La Dolce Vita,” in which Swedish actress Anita Ekberg together with her film partner Marcello Mastroianni take a dip in the Trevi fountain.
