To remedy this and become the picnic pro, take inspiration from the 10 golden rules proposed and successfully organize a chic and retro picnic!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Contrary to popular belief, <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com"><strong>preparing a picnic requires</strong> </a>a minimum of organization. In addition to the fact that nothing should be left to chance and nothing should be forgotten so that everything is perfect, it is essential to choose foods that will withstand heat and the sun. In addition, there are tips to know so that this moment is a real moment of relaxation!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule #1: Check the weather</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Always check the weather to prevent your picnic from going down the drain. It would be a shame to have to put everything away under the pretext of having chosen the wrong day…</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule #2: Prevention is better than cure!</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Lunch in the sun can lead to surprises. Sunburn , or rotting food : to avoid all the minor inconveniences caused by the sun, bring a parasol or choose a shady spot. Your lunch will be even more enjoyable!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule n°3: Choose the right equipment</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The key to a successful picnic is the choice of equipment! Easy to transport, practical and aesthetic, don’t hesitate to opt for real plates, real glasses and real cutlery! Success guaranteed!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule n°4: Opt for a retro picnic</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">For a chic picnic, choose porcelain tableware, goblets, wine glasses , cloth napkins, silver cutlery and an ultra-retro gingham cloth tablecloth!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule n°5: Be well settled</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Provide a large plaid or a large tablecloth to be able to sit comfortably. You will be more comfortable than in the grass.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule n°6: Equip yourself well</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">An element that you never think of taking on a picnic but that you always regret: the Swiss army knife! Compact, it can be very practical. Think about it!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule n°7: The choice of the menu</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Exit the traditional sandwiches and crisps for your picnic. Not only are they not good for your figure, but they will also take away all the charm of your bucolic picnic So get your hands dirty and cook up some light and fresh little starters, ideal for a successful picnic !</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule #8: Store food</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">To transport and store food and fresh produce, consider taking a cooler or an insulated bag. It’s the luxury of the picnic!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule #9: Think about activities</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Delight young and old alike by bringing games to keep the whole family busy! Thus, balls, badminton rackets, Frisbee or petanque balls will be welcome!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rule n°10: Protect your solar capital</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The essentials for a protected picnic: the straw hats and the tube of sunscreen will make the day truly perfect.</p><p>The post <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/the-10-commandments-of-a-successful-picnic/" target="_blank">The 10 commandments of a successful picnic</a> first appeared on <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/" target="_blank">https://touristtravelnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://touristtravelnews.com/the-10-commandments-of-a-successful-picnic/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Top 9 things to do during Stage 21 of the Tour of France</title> <link>https://touristtravelnews.com/top-9-things-to-do-during-stage-21-of-the-tour-of-france/</link> <comments>https://touristtravelnews.com/top-9-things-to-do-during-stage-21-of-the-tour-of-france/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 10:53:24 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Tour]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://touristtravelnews.com/?p=37</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>90 ViewsStage number 21 of the Tour de France, the final stage, takes place as usual in Paris.

After leaving from Sèvres , the cyclists will cycle through the capital to complete this Tour on the Champs-Elysées . For those who will make the trip for this final stage or for those who will be around when the time comes, here is our selection of the best addresses in the Capital in a Top 10 of things to do around Stage 21 of the Tour de France 2015 .</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">1: Take a trip to the Cité de la Céramique to wait, in Sèvres</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The final stage of this <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com"><strong>Tour de France starts</strong></a> in Sèvres, but only from 4 p.m. What are you going to do until this time? Well you will discover all the stages of porcelain production at the Cité de la Céramique ! Workshops and collections await you.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">2: Eat Japanese differently</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Chez Miki , noodles and sushi, it’s over! This Japanese restaurant offers original and above all delicious dishes ( Editor’s note: The salmon is absolutely divine )! You will see that Japanese food is much more varied than you might think. Enjoy your food !</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">3: Lick your chops at the Girard chocolate factory</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Pure cocoa butter chocolate is the specialty of the Chocolaterie Girard in Paris, which can be visited . But what are the raw materials used by these artisans to produce it? What are the little secrets of their best recipes? And what are the manufacturing techniques? We let you discover it for yourself by going there. The chocolatiers will offer you a demonstration and a tasting to help you better understand their trade.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">4: Crispy the crust of the best Baguette in Paris</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Can we talk about the Tour de France des Savoir-Faire without addressing the subject of the famous Baguette?? Well, we’re not just talking to you about Baguette, we’re talking about LA Baguette, the best in Paris. At Djibril Bodian’s Grenier à Pain, it smells good of bread coming out of the oven… You won’t resist coming in, that’s for sure.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">5: Indulge in the art of Pastel at the Maison du Pastel</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">In the Marais, you will find a pretty shop called “La Maison du Pastel” which, as its name suggests, sells Pastels. We therefore suggest that you go and buy some to go and draw on the banks of the Seine! Nice no? We can no longer hang padlocks of love on the Pont des Arts so we have to redouble our imagination to leave a trace of our passage, right?</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">6: Have a drink in an exceptional place, at the Mini Palais</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Going for a drink is nice but too common. What we suggest to you is to have a drink at the Mini Palais , a magnificent place that is worth the detour on its own. And there, take the time to rest and enjoy Paris. You will see that Capital is good!</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">7: Shopping at the Marché des Enfants Rouges</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">It is well known, Paris is full of markets. But, the Marché des Enfants Rouges is special. Not only is it pleasant to walk around, but you can also eat there. Know that there is very good couscous! (Even if with the heat, you’ll opt for a salad instead, it’s still good to know, isn’t it?)</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">8: Navigating the Canals of Paris</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Have you ever noticed the impressive number of locks in Paris? Do you know who manages them? Swap your bike for a cruise boat on the smallest navigable canal in France. You will then discover the secrets of the canals of Paris through a guided tour and you will visit the ultra-modern lock of the Pont de Flandre.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">9: Go behind the scenes of the 7th Art !</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Do you really know everything about cinema? All all all? Are you sure ? To get to the bottom of it, you have to go to the Cité du Cinéma. This place imagined by Luc Besson will immerse you in the heart of the cinema to make you discover all the trades which are attached to it.</p><p>The post <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/top-9-things-to-do-during-stage-21-of-the-tour-of-france/" target="_blank">Top 9 things to do during Stage 21 of the Tour of France</a> first appeared on <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/" target="_blank">https://touristtravelnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://touristtravelnews.com/top-9-things-to-do-during-stage-21-of-the-tour-of-france/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Trip to Guadeloupe: why choose this destination?</title> <link>https://touristtravelnews.com/trip-to-guadeloupe-why-choose-this-destination/</link> <comments>https://touristtravelnews.com/trip-to-guadeloupe-why-choose-this-destination/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 09:39:03 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Trip]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://touristtravelnews.com/?p=34</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>84 ViewsGuadeloupe is a welcoming and pleasant island to visit all year round since it enjoys a tropical climate .

If your dream is to open your own hotel establishment to welcome travelers, discover all our advice to achieve it.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Step 1: define your project</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The choice of operating mode (independence or franchise) of your hotel is essential.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Opt for independence if you want to <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com"><strong>manage your hotel</strong> </a>as you wish without external constraints. Independent hotels are in the majority and represent approximately 80% of the sector .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Conversely, franchising is aimed more at entrepreneurs seeking to reduce their risk and secure their investment. Despite a larger starting sum to invest, the franchise confers advantages such as access to effective management tools, well-honed commercial strategies, group notoriety, etc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, if the hotel chains (Accor Hotels, Louvre Hotels Group, etc.) only represent 20% of the market, they are the ones with the largest accommodation capacity (they have more than one hotel room out of two ).</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Step 2: Conduct market research</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">But 2020 was arguably one of the worst years for the hospitality industry due to the health crisis. The turnover of the sector fell by 45 to 70%, according to a study by KPMG .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The clientele of the hotels is made up of French and foreigners . Since the COVID-19 crisis, the tourism sector has been sluggish due to uncertainty related to the virus and travel limitations. However, there is no doubt that tourists will come back! Here, the important thing is to identify the requirements and expectations of your ideal client in order to offer him tailor-made services.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Market research also looks at your direct and indirect competitors. Of course, we are thinking of other hotels located in your geographical area, but also of rentals between individuals (Airbnb, etc.) and the development of lodges and bed and breakfasts. The various reservation platforms (Booking, Expedia, etc.) also eat away at the income generated by hoteliers because of the commissions they must pay to be referenced on these platforms.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Step 3: specify your hotel business</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are some of the points to clarify to clarify your activity:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The price for one night: first price, inexpensive youth hostel, luxurious palace, family hotel…;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The hotel facilities: bar, spa, sauna, swimming pool, restaurant, gym…;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Opening up to more diverse audiences: room rental for conferences, business seminars, coworking space, etc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The decoration and the atmosphere of the hotel : classic, arty, cozy, romantic, thematic…;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The comfort offered by the rooms: XXL rooms, balcony, hairdryer…;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A unique experience promised to customers: eco-friendly accommodation, hotel in the woods among the animals…</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The choice of these elements must be consistent with the results of your market research. Do not hesitate to differentiate yourself with a strong concept that will ensure better profitability.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Step 4: plan the necessary investments to open a hotel</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The investments needed to open a hotel are huge! We recense :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The construction, purchase, takeover or rental of the hotel by means of a commercial lease ;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To ensure the profitability of the hotel, the indicator to be monitored carefully is the room occupancy rate . The higher it is, the better!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The average cost of building a hotel room varies between €40,000 and €200,000 (to be multiplied by the number of rooms envisaged).</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Step 5: choose the legal status of your hotel</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">In the overwhelming majority of cases, the choice of the legal status of a hotel is determined between the SAS (simplified joint-stock company) and the SARL (limited liability company).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s see the main differences between these two legal structures:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">President natural or legal person</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Natural person manager</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Responsibility</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Limited to contributions</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Limited to contributions</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Manager’s social plan</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Assimilated-employee</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Assimilated-employee if the manager is a minority or egalitarian, self-employed if the manager is a majority</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Taxation</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Corporation tax (possible but temporary option for income tax)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Corporation tax (possible but temporary option for income tax)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Status of collaborating spouse</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Secure and fixed legal framework</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Step 6: write the hotel business plan</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The business plan is absolutely essential if you want to open a hotel. It secures your project and allows you to build a solid project. A seriously written business plan will help you obtain the necessary financing for the opening of your hotel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The business plan includes an editorial part explaining your project and a financial part. The latter is the most important for a hotel. It contains :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The provisional income statement which deducts your turnover according to your expenses and your income. Clearly, it gives an estimate of your profitability;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The provisional balance sheet which provides a photograph of your assets. It helps to ensure that the hotel does not have too much debt;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The table of investments which provides for the resources necessary to finance the investments. It smoothes the expenses to be made year after year;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cash flow to manage cash inflows and outflows. He avoids finding himself without cash to pay his staff.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Make your business plan for free</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Step 7: find out about the regulations for opening a hotel in France</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">To open a hotel, training is not an obligation but it will prove to be very useful for acquiring the basics of the trade. You can train in hotel management (BTS, DUT, etc.) or go through a school specializing in the hotel industry or a business school.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The “tourist hotel” classification ranging from 1 to 5 stars is completely optional for the hotelier, even if many hotels use it because it is known and appreciated by customers. This classification depends on various criteria (surface of the rooms, available equipment, etc.). If you wish to be assessed and ranked, you must register on the Atout France website .</p><p>The post <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/our-guide-to-opening-a-hotel/" target="_blank">Our guide to opening a hotel</a> first appeared on <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/" target="_blank">https://touristtravelnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://touristtravelnews.com/our-guide-to-opening-a-hotel/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>La Yole Wine Resort for a dream vacation in happiness mode</title> <link>https://touristtravelnews.com/la-yole-wine-resort-for-a-dream-vacation-in-happiness-mode/</link> <comments>https://touristtravelnews.com/la-yole-wine-resort-for-a-dream-vacation-in-happiness-mode/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2023 12:03:50 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Beaches]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://touristtravelnews.com/?p=27</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>105 ViewsThe Domaine de La Yole Wine Resort in Vendres-plage (34) has long mastered the recipe for unforgettable holidays.

In this 5-star family campsite, a stone’s throw from the seaside resort of Valras Plage, all the ingredients for a unique family holiday are gathered in one place. Responsive and attentive, the owners of the place are always very attentive to all the residents . And that makes all the difference</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">The farmThe farm © La Yole</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">La Yole Wine Resort is a 5-star campsite , ideally located between centuries-old vines and the Mediterranean. It is also a Wine <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com"><strong>Estate producing wines</strong> </a>of character (red, rosé, white and sweet) and notably offering wine tourism events. It is still a very complete Adventure Park, ideal for young and old to fill up on sensations. Finally, it is a Discovery Farm populated by friendly animals. You have understood, this is a unique and warm vacation spot! Even if the estate sets the bar very high with its equipment and services, it remains above all a family business that warmly watches over the well-being of holidaymakers.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">AccommodationHosting © La Yole</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">La Yole Wine Resort is a campsite with some 1,280 pitches , stretching over beautiful 23 hectares of wooded grounds, a few steps from the big blue. If you are a camper, caravanner or motorhome owner, you will necessarily find the pitch classified as Standard, Comfort (with barbecue, picnic table), Comfort Plus (private individual sanitary facilities), or even Premium (independent sanitary facilities, sink, refrigerator), best suited to your expectations. Another good news: dogs are accepted.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are more of a rental person, La Yole Wine Resort is the right address with a wide range of proposals: mobile homes (up to four bedrooms), pavilions with garden and terrace (with an individual jacuzzi for some), lodge tents for four or five perfectly equipped beds are on the “menu”. And for a unique holiday experience, in great comfort mode, head for the perched cabin, perfectly equipped for four people with shower room, separate toilets and individual jacuzzi.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Like a village air</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">At mealtimes, the estate has all the trappings of a welcoming little tourist village. Shops offer their services: here, a bakery-pastry shop, there a grocery store or even the Domaine’s “P’tite cave” where you can buy local produce, in bottles or in bulk.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The estate has also thought of gourmets or those who do not want to cook: a caterer and three catering areas are available, like the Comptoir des Saveurs or the Restaurant de la Ferme.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, for a well-being break, you can count on the spa with jacuzzi, sauna and hammam.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Yole Water ParkLa Yole Water Park © La Yole</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The water park acts like a magnet and it’s no wonder. With more than 1,000 m2 of heated water, more than 3,000 m2 of artificial beaches and solariums, the bathing area is very attractive. Depending on your age, and your desires, you can sometimes enjoy the large swimming pool, the lagoon pool, a water play area, a large indoor swimming pool as well as nine water slides, the highest of which culminates at 9 meters from the ground. A “best of” for thrill seekers!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After a good bath, you are free to go to other places for other activities such as pétanque, beach volleyball or fitness. For the youngest, head to the video games area, the mini golf, the mini go-kart circuit or the children’s carousel.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">In July, the Enchanted Domain where children are kings</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Are you free at the beginning of July and are you going on vacation with young children aged 3 to 9? In this case, you absolutely must take advantage of the festive sequence called the Enchanted Domain. During the first two weeks of July, the campsite takes on the appearance of both an amusement park and a convivial funfair. A real paradise for young children where everything is possible: try their hand at the circus, like playing a game of chamboule-tout or duck fishing, jumping on a trampoline, visiting the estate’s farm and its animals, attending shows , having fun and posing with mascots… A fireworks display of entertainment and memories.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With its 110 planted hectares , the La Yole wine estate, whose history is particularly rich, does not lack vitality. People have been producing wine on these lands for centuries. At the end of the 18th century, the vines took the name of Domaine de la Yole: the wine produced on site was then exported throughout the region. Today, quality and notoriety are still there. And animations around the vine and wine are organized: rides on an all-terrain electric scooter in the vineyards, gourmet discoveries around 7 dishes and 7 wines and other wine tourism activities and animations are on the program.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Adventure Park Adventure Park © La Yole</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">If you like to take to the skies, try tree climbing, evolve on nets stretched between the trees or play warrior, the Adventure Park is for you. An astonishing space, for young and old, entirely dedicated to play and pleasure. On the other hand, the little ones will “love” for La Ferme de La Yole, an atypical place with its animals, its vegetable garden and its orchard. This pleasant family interlude can end in the most gourmet of ways around a grill over a wood fire or tapas offered by the chef of the Restaurant de la Ferme.</p><p>The post <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/la-yole-wine-resort-for-a-dream-vacation-in-happiness-mode/" target="_blank">La Yole Wine Resort for a dream vacation in happiness mode</a> first appeared on <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/" target="_blank">https://touristtravelnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://touristtravelnews.com/la-yole-wine-resort-for-a-dream-vacation-in-happiness-mode/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to get corporate hotel rates</title> <link>https://touristtravelnews.com/how-to-get-corporate-hotel-rates/</link> <comments>https://touristtravelnews.com/how-to-get-corporate-hotel-rates/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2023 11:54:17 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Hotel]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://touristtravelnews.com/?p=22</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>95 ViewsAccommodation costs normally represent a significant portion of your company’s business travel expenses.

In this section, we’ll show you how you can cut costs and get some of the best hotel corporate discounts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Just like other travel service providers, hotels offer their business customers corporate rates and discounts. These discounts normally start at 10%, but by spending a little time comparing different options and negotiating, you can easily get a better deal.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How hotel rates work</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Corporate hotel rates are usually negotiated beforehand between the hotel or hotel chain and the company, usually by the organization’s travel manager. Once your company’s preferential rate has been negotiated, you will normally be able to take advantage of it via a company code.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com"><strong>booking your accommodation</strong></a> through the hotel’s website, you will be able to insert your corporate code into a discount code field when making your reservation. Business travelers may be asked to present a corporate card or ID upon check-in to prove they are eligible for corporate discounts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These rates may apply the same throughout the year or are sometimes only available when you book your stay on working days, or during off-peak seasons. It all depends on what has been negotiated between your company and the hotel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In some cases, your employees may also benefit from these discounts and benefits when traveling for personal reasons.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to saving money on your company’s business travel, having good corporate rates also allows you to stay in control of your expenses and adhere to your company’s travel policy. Quite often hotel company rate agreements can include ancillary benefits such as more flexible cancellation policies and loyalty points that can be redeemed for free nights or upgrades.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How to get great corporate rates at hotels</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">If you’re a large company, the task of finding the best corporate rates for hotels normally falls to your travel manager. This has a clear idea of your company’s travel needs and budget. He knows your buying power and that is where your bargaining power lies.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Here are some other tips for getting better hotel rates:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">You may choose to work directly with a travel agency that may have access to the best corporate rates for hotels. Even though their service comes at a cost, you could still end up saving quite a bit of money.<br />If you have identified a specific hotel or hotel chain that can meet all of your current and future business travel needs, you may choose to consolidate all of your hotel bookings with that partner. This level of exclusivity could get you fantastic rates and perks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Conclude a contract for a fixed number of overnight stays. You can negotiate a fixed number of nights per year that you will need hotel rooms.<br />Watch for last minute rates. A hotel generally seeks at all costs to avoid having empty rooms. If you’re willing to take the risk, booking your accommodation very close to your arrival date can be very cheap.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Small Business Hotel Rates</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Corporate hotel discounts aren’t just for large corporations. Small businesses or even independent contractors can take advantage of great rates and benefits. Studies have found that small businesses tend to spend around 19.7% more on travel than larger businesses. As a small business, getting better rates could significantly reduce that percentage.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>While small businesses may not have the same volumes and, therefore, bargaining power as larger businesses, there are several ways to get great corporate rates at hotels:</strong></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">1. Use a travel management platform</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">As mentioned before, travel management agents work with a large network of suppliers, which means they could have access to great rates.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2. Compare different providers</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Take the time to research what is available. Select and contact several hotels and hotel chains that meet your needs, compare their prices or the offers they offer you directly. Don’t be afraid to ask them to match their rate to the best deal you’ve received so far.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">3. Discounts for extended stays</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are staying more than 5 nights, you can apply for what is called an extended stay discount. This may not be advertised openly on the hotel’s website, but it is common to ask for such a discount.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">4. Whenever possible, opt for non-refundable rates</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If cancellation flexibility isn’t vital to you, some hotels may offer deep discounts to guests who pay up front through a non-refundable rate. In some cases, hotels can offer a discount of up to 25% here.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">5. Corporate credit cards and loyalty programs</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Many credit card providers offer corporate credit cards. Using these cards to pay for your hotel stay can get you discounts on corporate hotels, occasional free nights, or even bonuses like extra meals. Business credit cards usually come at a cost, but can be worth it if used frequently enough.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alternatively, some hotels have their own loyalty programs that reward repeat business travelers with rewards, discounted rates, and free stays.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">6. Use a client’s business code when visiting them</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are traveling to meet one of your clients, your client may have their own corporate codes or pre-negotiated corporate discounts with a nearby hotel. Check with your client before booking anything and see if you can use their company code if they have one.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">7. Negotiate your own corporate hotel rates</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">You can also choose to stick with it, and negotiate corporate rates for your small business yourself.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We also give you the ability to add your own corporate rates that you’ve negotiated with your favorite hotels directly to your TravelPerk account.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, TravelPerk also offers a VAT reclaim service that makes it much easier for your business to claim your VAT refunds on your hotel expenses, saving you up to 20% on business travel expenses.</p><p>The post <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/how-to-get-corporate-hotel-rates/" target="_blank">How to get corporate hotel rates</a> first appeared on <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/" target="_blank">https://touristtravelnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://touristtravelnews.com/how-to-get-corporate-hotel-rates/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>6 waterfront houses and villas for a successful seaside stay</title> <link>https://touristtravelnews.com/6-waterfront-houses-and-villas-for-a-successful-seaside-stay/</link> <comments>https://touristtravelnews.com/6-waterfront-houses-and-villas-for-a-successful-seaside-stay/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2023 11:49:22 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Beaches]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://touristtravelnews.com/?p=19</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>111 ViewsFor boating, taking full advantage of water sports, swimming or fishing, nothing replaces a house by the water… If you like dreamy blue holidays, you will love our selection of rentals chosen just for you among the most beautiful in Europe.

Luxurious villas on the seafront with breathtaking views or rustic cottages on the edge of the lake, far from the crowds: families and groups will find what they are looking for “with their feet in the water” for a relaxing summer.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">1) A Balcony On The Sea In Croatia</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Perched a stone’s throw above the <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com"><strong>sparkling waters of the Adriatic</strong></a>, this white stone villa for 15 people looks out to sea, well set on the island of Brac. This is paradise for sea lovers! A private speedboat for rent is available to discover the nearby coves, admire the dolphins, go water skiing or bask in the sun. On site, you can use the kayaks to go for a walk and go swimming without forgetting the masks and snorkels to dive into the crystal clear waters.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After that, you will have the choice between the three terraces on the hillside to admire the view while letting yourself be intoxicated by the Mediterranean scents that perfume the garden. Deckchairs, hammock, jacuzzi and dining area under the trees, nothing is missing to live delicious moments.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The interior invites you to relax: three lounges with top entertainment equipment and six bedrooms converted into suites, one of which has a designer bathroom by Philippe Starck. If you have the courage to go out, stroll through the many authentic villages in the area.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">2) Unforgettable sunsets in Sweden</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">They will surely be part of your best holiday memories! Every evening, you can contemplate splendid sunsets from the jacuzzi, the covered terrace overlooking the lake or the dining veranda of this chalet in the woods. An idyllic place surrounded by nature with two bedrooms to accommodate 4 people. From the small wooden pier, hop aboard the motorboat, rowboat or canoe and set off to explore this fascinating region of Kalmar County, south of Stockholm. When you get back, you can prepare delicious meals on the vertical hearth barbecue. Wonderfully cozy and warm, the interior is ultra-comfortable with a wood-burning stove and all the necessary equipment. To discover the surroundings, a tourist train leads to Västervik, on the coast. Do not miss the nature reserves,</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">3) Dream getaway in Devon</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Romantic and so British, this cottage for eight people dates from the 1920s. From the terrace and most of the main rooms, you will be amazed with a 180 degree view of the bay and the port of Hope Cove. Built just above the West Coast Trail, its location is ideal for hikers. The elegant and comfortable interior is organized around an open Shaker style kitchen, equipped with an AGA cooker and a wood stove as well as a living room and a dining room. This is probably where you will taste lobsters and crabs caught in the bay, just below your windows. Every evening, you have an appointment with an Instagram-worthy sunset! But you can also go to the fishing village of Hope Cove a few minutes walk away. There, you will have the choice between the pub, teahouses and restaurants. A 10 minute drive away is the pretty town of Salcombe and in the immediate vicinity you have easy access to many activities including surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and golf.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">4) Italian love at first sight</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Steps leading down to the sea, a beautiful terrace with sun loungers and sofas, a dining area with a view of the bay and even a heated outdoor shower… We found paradise, it is in Campania, in this old house of fishermen all in limestone facing the Mediterranean. Easily accessible from Sorrento and Positano, this idyllic retreat off the beaten track is well hidden somewhere between the Amalfi Coast and the Sorrentine Peninsula. In the charming village, you will find a few cafes, restaurants and gelaterie. Nearby, Marina del Cantone boat rentals allow you to explore the coast at your own pace. You can also go hiking in the mountains. Courage, you will be amply rewarded for your efforts with breathtaking views.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">5) Facing the sea in Spain</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Nestled in a rocky bay, just 10 meters from the transparent blue waters of the Mediterranean, this villa for 13 people is one of the most sought-after spots on the Costa Brava. A magnificent shared swimming pool, a pretty sunny terrace, a barbecue and a shaded dining area are all good reasons not to go out… Inside, the party continues with a disco area equipped with a minibar, backlights and a Wurlitzer electric piano from the 1960s. However, it is absolutely necessary to discover the spectacular panoramas of the Cap de Creus natural park and the surrounding area. Not to mention the village of Colera, Dalí’s house in Cadaqués and the many beautiful beaches in the area.</p><p>The post <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/6-waterfront-houses-and-villas-for-a-successful-seaside-stay/" target="_blank">6 waterfront houses and villas for a successful seaside stay</a> first appeared on <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/" target="_blank">https://touristtravelnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://touristtravelnews.com/6-waterfront-houses-and-villas-for-a-successful-seaside-stay/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>10 commandments to prepare well for your weekend</title> <link>https://touristtravelnews.com/10-commandments-to-prepare-well-for-your-weekend/</link> <comments>https://touristtravelnews.com/10-commandments-to-prepare-well-for-your-weekend/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2023 11:45:17 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Holiday]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://touristtravelnews.com/?p=16</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>107 ViewsDuring the year, more and more of us go away for the weekend.

The RTTs promote 3 or 4-day getaways in France and Europe and multiply the opportunities to get away from it all and forget the daily grind. These stays, of short duration, make time more precious so it is better to prepare them well…</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Today, Opodo offers you some practical and essential tips for a successful weekend!</h2><h3>Going away for 3 or 4 days, the ideal formula for taking a break</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Obviously, we avoid flying to Indonesia for such a short time and we aim instead for European destinations . The key is not to waste too much time in transport (no destination beyond four hours of flight) and not to suffer the inconvenience of jet lag.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Why leave on the weekend of July 14 or at Easter when you benefit from the ARTT? The “35-hour bridges” make it possible to <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com"><strong>travel at a different time during</strong></a> the low season – therefore cheaper – and to avoid the crowds. Asking one or two days of RTT also makes it possible to lengthen the distances: why not fly away four days under the Tunisian or Moroccan sun when autumn is pointing the tip of its nose in France? In December, before the end of year celebrations, why not go and admire the Christmas decorations in a Scandinavian capital?</p><h3>Check the weather forecast before setting sail</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">It is essential to watch the weather a few days before leaving to plan the right clothes and accessories. It would indeed be a shame to load up with a down jacket if the weekend promises to be mild and sunny!</p><h3>Find out about the destination</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Remember to look at the map of the destination before leaving, and why not download a version accessible without Internet if you are traveling outside Europe. This allows you to locate your accommodation as well as the main sites to visit. And it also avoids wandering indefinitely around the same block of houses before finally falling on the famous museum that we were looking for! You can also get a destination guide or read blog posts (starting with ours</p><h3>Choose a weekend formula adapted to your tastes and your budget</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">There are as many variations of weekends as there are travellers: with the family, with a baby or teenagers, as a couple, as a single person, with friends, to party, learn, rest… Better opt for a formula adapted to your desires and needs!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In Turkey for example: a group of 10 friends will rather choose a hotel-club formula with half board, with a discotheque and in a seaside resort, when a young couple will opt for a charming hotel in Istanbul with a view of the Bosphorus. The goal of the weekend is to wander as much as possible and enjoy the local nights? Opting for the “flight + hotel” formula is clever. If, on the other hand, you dream of a short “cool” stay, half board with dinner in the evening at the hotel is a good solution.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are planning a cultural weekend in Budapest, it is more practical – and more logical – to stay in the center rather than half an hour by public transport. Similarly, if you are counting on the idleness weekend, it is preferable that the hotel be located by the sea and not 12 km away. For those traveling with children, think about the reception conditions that will be reserved for them (sleeping, daycare, mini-clubs, etc.). A weekend is short, so if you can avoid ending up in a room with a view of the industrial area or above the highway, it’s better.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To help you better choose your hotel, Opodo has also developed heat maps allowing you to quickly identify the most interesting areas in the chosen destination according to 4 categories: sightseeing, gastronomy, shopping and life. nocturnal. You can easily book the hotel that best suits your needs!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also change, if necessary, currencies before leaving. Not having to run into St. Petersburg airport at midnight to get some change in order to catch a taxi is less stressful. Finally, it can be wise if you need to slip a universal adapter into your suitcase to, for example, recharge the battery of your Smartphone or camera, use your hair dryer or your razor.</p><p>The post <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/10-commandments-to-prepare-well-for-your-weekend/" target="_blank">10 commandments to prepare well for your weekend</a> first appeared on <a href="https://touristtravelnews.com/" target="_blank">https://touristtravelnews.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://touristtravelnews.com/10-commandments-to-prepare-well-for-your-weekend/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
