Luxury Travel Ltd Launches New Adventure Travel Programs

&Quot;We aim to provide unique programs in the region, exploring areas that are off the beaten path and doing so in an environmentally-friendly way. We know that by venturing off the tourist trail and experiencing the local culture first hand, and not from the windows of a bus, is the best way to truly explore the wonders of the region," said David Nguyen, the director of sales and marketing of Luxury Travel Group Ltd. “Everyone has a bicycle in the countryside of Vietnam. A Biking tour is a good way to get close to people in the countryside and interact with local people. Traveling by bike affords a kind of eye-level communication you can’t get in a car, bus or train. Biking has to be the ultimate way to explore all destinations. We have designed the attractive bicycle tours in Vietnam. Our mountain bikes are top quality lightweight. All our bike trips are fully supported with air-conditioned back-up van as well as carrying first aid, drinks, spares and tools. Our biking guides are great biking enthusiasts with passion, equally knowledgeable in bike maintenance, in the culture, history and geography of the country,” commented David. Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) has fostered relationships with several villages en route to create activities that benefit the local residents whilst protecting the fragile eco-systems of the area. The tour puts a strong emphasis on responsible travel as passengers are experiencing first-hand the natural and man-made wonders of the region. The company aims to create better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit. "Discover the charm of Champassak" is a new tour package in South of Laos. Champassak is a wonderful mix of architectural jewels: typical Laotian wooden houses built on stilts, exquisite colonial villas, Lao-Chinese shop houses, and buildings from more recent interpretation. There is even a beautiful Catholic church, unfortunately still little-known from visitors like Luang Prabang. Champassak is one of the most attractive in Laos as it offers culture, nature, history, and the dramatic setting of the Mekong River,” said David. "Today’s luxury travelers want to be entertained and stimulated, rather than simply pampered. They seek action and simplicity. They want also off the beaten track experiences, crave efficient and seamless travel, value for money and a return on personal values in a post credit crunch environment.

The college search process is a daunting one. There’s a thousand page books by big name publishers touting every school on the planet. There’s websites for every school and every program across the nation. You can sign up to receive enough written information to kill a portion of the rain forest. It’s all so much! How are you supposed to chose which school will be your home for the next four years? The best way to make that decision is be arming yourself with the best information you can. And how can you find that? Very simple: on a campus tour.

Start by compiling a list of schools that, on paper, you already love. These schools may have the program you want or be in a city you like. You can find them through Princeton Review or any other college search engine online. They may include your parents’ Alma Mater or you’re neighbor’s favorite university. Another great resource that counselors won’t tell you about it LiveJournal.com. You can search their communities for one tailored to a specific school. You can post and ask current students questions or just peruse their postings and find out what life is really like there. There’s also a community called Campus Reviews, where current and prospective students document their experiences with specific universities. You can visit http://community.livejournal.com/campusreviews/ to read their experiences.

Once you’ve compiled a list of schools you like, it’s time to investigate them more thoroughly than you could by reading someone else’s review. It’s time to write your own. Take a weekend or two and visit the schools on your list. Most high schools will excuse absences related to college visits, so check with your guidance office. They can also hook you up with alumni from your high school that attend any of the universities you’re looking at. Having a connection is a great way to find out the inside information not only on what it’s like to attend school, but what the transition was like for someone with the same background as you.

The best place to find tour information is the campus website. Visit the admissions office homepage (often listed under “prospective students), to find out information. When you’re investigating, don’t just stop at the tour. If you’re interested in a journalism program, find out if you can meet with a professor or adviser or sit in on a class. The school may even hook you up with a student in your specific field of interest who can better answer your questions. Also check the campus events calendar for the day you’ll be in town. Find out if there’s any big cultural activities or other goings on you can attend. The key to the campus visit is not just to take the tour, but to try as to get as close a picture of student life as possible.
