| Japan's 10 Most Popular Tourist Attractions | | 2008-07-05 14:17:00 | | When foreigners go to Japan, Tokyo tops their list of places to see. Seven of the 10 most-visited destinations in the country are in the capital, according to the Japan National Tourist Organization.This makes it easy for visitors to check the top spots off their must-see lists without leaving Tokyo, a sprawling city encompassing nearly every important aspect of Japanese life (except nature; "man-made" is the buzzword here). To get to the other spots on the top-10 list, a quick shinkansen (bullet train) ride is all that's required, and that's an experience itself, as the trains run at speeds of about 200 miles per hour.Whether you choose to stay inside Tokyo's city limits or leave them, however, the complete tourism experience in Japan involves an equal mix of modern and traditional--easy to accomplish in the city and beyond.In Pictures: Japan's 10 Most Popular Tourist DestinationsWherever you go, you can expect the locals to be friendly due to a government tourism-promotion campaign, | | By: Most Popular Tourist Places | | |

| | Brighton Attractions | | 2008-06-27 21:42:00 | | I only went once to Brighton and although I had a short stay there (only one weekend on bodybuilding supply businesses) I did have a great time and I was quite impressed with the sightseeing attractions that Brighton had to offer. The one place I liked the most was Brighton Pier, a place where I got to relax, feel good and, I don't know, it did feel welcoming. It was right next to the Royal Pavilion, the Old Police Cells Museum and the Brighton Fishing Museum, every single place being special. Brighton did have a lot for everyone from tourist attractions and sightseeing spots to clubs and a more than average active night life. I particularly recommend (out of the places I visit) you going to The Temple Bar, the Casablanca Jazz Club and The Sidewinder. I personally stayed at Drakes Hotel, quite a charming place, great conditions, but I am sure other hotels are available for every single budget.

The miles and miles of Alaskan coastline draws in tourists from around the world and has become the one of the most popular vacation destinations because of its natural unspoiled beauty. Perhaps the reason for Alaska's popularity is because of the diverse attractions that Alaska offers. Icebergs, glaciers, and ice fields are among the many natural wonders that can be found in Alaska. Aquatic life is also a major attraction in Alaska, watching killer whales in their natural habitat, or seal and dolphins playing gleefully in the cold Atlantic waters.

| | CHIANG MAI SIGHTS & ATTRACTIONS | | 2007-12-24 00:03:00 | | The SightsThe city's temples:Wat Phra Singh (1345) - Lanna-style masterpiece. Wat Phra Singh is easy to visit as it is right in the center of Chiang Mai city, located on the corner of Singharat and Ratchadamnoen Rd road. Wat Phra Singh was built inside the old city walls at a time when Chiang Mai was the capital of the northern Thai Lanna or Lan Na kingdom. The wat was originally built in 1345. It may have simply been a stupa erected by a king (and descendant of the great Mangrai) to honour his father. The stupa still stands, but most of the buildings you see on the site today are of much more recent vintage. There are three main buildings, namely the Stupa, Viharn Lai Kam, and Haw Trai.Wat Chiang Man - built by the city's founder, King Mengrai. Located within the walls of the old city, near the Chang Puak gate, Chiang Man is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. It was supposedly built by the founder of the city 700 years ago, King Mengrai, on the spot where he stayed while planning his new capital. It's a small temple, and not on the main tourist trail, but it was important for quite some time.Getting There: Wat Chiang Man is on Ratchaphakhinai Road near where it intersects Sri Phum Road, which runs just inside the moat along the north wall of the old city. The closest "landmark" to Wat Chiang Man is the Thai Airways office on Phrapokklao Road. Walk down the small street next to the office and turn left at the next main street. The temple will be on your left.Wat Chedi Luang (1401) - Wat Chedi Luang must have been the most impressive temple in Chiang Mai. Built about 600 years ago, the huge chedi which gave the temple its name (the name of the temple translates to "royal pagoda") must have soared high above the surrounding city.Getting There: Wat Chedi Luang is on Prapokklao Road which runs roughly through the north-south center line of the old city, from Changpuak Gate to Chaing Mai Gate. The temple is just a short walk south of the intersection with the main east- | | By: The Best Of Asia | | |

| | Top 5 Paris Attractions | | 2007-11-18 14:22:00 | | There is an old saying which states that Paris is the place where all good people go to die. It is the combination of historical charm, modernism, and a heady underworld which makes Paris a fantasy tourist destination. It is the top 5 Paris attractions which draw people to this great city, again and again. Beyond the Eiffel Tover, and the Louvre there are attractions which take visitors by surprise and in doing so create memories that last a life time. Below are a few of the hottest destinations in Paris. If you visit Europe, for work or pleasure, be sure to find the time to explore these attractions.

This beautiful city is home to hundreds of monuments and intricately carved structures which dominate the cityscape. The Eiffel Tower embodies the essence of the city of lights. It is the most famous and visited of all the cities attractions. The tower was built in 1889, as a physical and tangible representation of all things French.

| | Cemeteries as tourist attractions? | | 2007-11-14 19:31:00 | | The idea of a cemetery as a place to visit in the course of a vacation, may not exactly resound with Jamaican sensitivities, but Mayor of Kingston, Desmond McKenzie, has raised an interesting idea: making the May Pen Cemetery a tourist attraction.The fact is we're not a 'cemetery people', despite our penchant for elaborate funerals and mourning rituals. There are, however, other places where cemeteries do attract tourists, particularly if they are the final resting place of celebrities.One of the famous sightseeing spots of Europe, for instance, is the Pére Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, wherein lie some of the world's most celebrated artists and artistes, from centuries past up to contemporary times.In other places, where celebrities are interred also, some tourists do find it interesting to visit the site as part of the experience of another culture.But is our May Pen Cemetery ready for that?

| | UK attractions - look beyond the obvious | | 2007-08-02 10:38:10 | | Which? Magazine has named the UKs top ten paid for attractions in terms of quality and value for money. Here are the top five:
1 Hampton Court
2 Chatsworth House
3 Edinburgh Castle
4 Tower of London
5 Windsor Castle
I’ve visited all of these, except Chatsworth House and I did enjoy Hampton Court best. However there are so many other places in the UK which can offer a great day out without the crowds you’ll probably encounter at these high profile attractions. I suggest that you look at the “Alternative UK Map” to get off the beaten track, with 20 suggestions from readers of the BBC magazine. You can also look through my blog posts about Days out in the UK or read guides my to less well known destinations in Scotland.

| | Melbourne attractions | | 2007-06-26 13:01:51 | | To a lot of people around the world Melbourne is synonomous with Neighbours as that’s where Ramsay Street (which is the real-life street of Pinoak Court and not on a movie-set as you might think) but there’s a lot more to see in and around the city than that of course.
The city itself is quite compact so in terms of Melbourne accommodation you can pretty much choose anywhere and not be too far out of the action. However, to avoid the need for a car it’s best to pick a hotel near the centre of Melbourne and a great spot is near the lovely Flinders Street station.
The free city circle tram is an excellent way to get yourself oriented and takes in the majority of the city centre attractions along its route. Among these perhaps the best is the Old Melbourne Gaol but don’t miss Captain Cooks cottage (transported from England and reconstructed) nor the botanical gardens.

| | Hot swimming pools are new attractions to tourists in Tuba town Baluda | | 2007-06-17 01:50:01 | | TUBA, Benguet - The swimming pools with hot water established by private investors in recent years in this town adjacent to Baguio City have started as an attraction to local and foreign tourists, according to outgoing municipal mayor Jose Baluda.
He said that the increase of tourists only started early this year as a result of the eco-tourism campaign done by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo over the past five years in this western part of the Cordillera mountain ranges in northern Luzon.
Records show that prior to these swimming pools, the main attraction of the town some 230 kilometers north of Manila had been the world-famous Asin hotsprings and the Brown Madonna on the Rock cave chapel. (more…)

| | Visit Britian to impose code of practice on attractions | | 2007-06-13 12:37:31 | | From April 2008 Visit Britain will only promote attractions in England which sign up to its code of practice. The aim is to improve the quality of attractions. There is a £25 registration fee so with around 6000 attractions that will bring in around £150,000. Most of the stipulations are common sense such as information about opening hours, cost, accessibility, cleanliness etc. Some such as “having regard to managing the attraction in a sustainable way, considering public transport, locally sourcing food and other supplies” could be rather meaningless if for example an attraction considers it is not on a bus or train route and that buying local food costs more and then disregards the issues.
Bamburgh Castle, North Northumberland
I wonder how much inspection there will be to ensure that the standards are being met? Do you think this code is a good idea or just more bureaucracy?
