			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the famous English writer G.K. Chesterton once said  “The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.” In a day and age when it is often more attractive and sometimes even cheaper to travel abroad, our own English heritage and tourism is often sadly overlooked and left by the wayside as British travelers flock to the airports in search of not just the sun, sand and sea but also foreign heritage sights and culture. So in search of an interesting way to explore our past from our front door and beyond our usual habits I have come up with an idea of viewing Britain as tourist.</p>
<p>A great place to start, is Oxford. For those residing or wishing to live in Oxford, <a href="http://www.propertyads.co.uk/rent/flats/oxford" target="_blank">renting a flat</a> makes access to this beautiful and historical town so much easier. Oxford, made famous by its university and proximity to the scenic, surrounding Cotswolds countryside, is truly a great place to start your quest to see England through fresh eyes. What better way to get to know about some of England’s greatest traditions if you can regularly visit Oxford’s Eagle and Child pub? This popular pub was a regular haunt used in some of England’s finest works of literature by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. On a similarly literary note, all of the magic of Philip Pullman’s heroine Lyra started in this very town, making it popular amongst both young and older readers. Of course finding temporary accommodation is feasible as well. Many hotels and guesthouses have their doors open and are ready to welcome you in if you only want to make it a weekend trip.</p>
<p>Equally, relocating and finding a <a href="http://www.propertyads.co.uk/rent/flats/cambridge" target="_blank">flat to rent in Cambridge</a> will provide similar benefits to those of Oxford. Cambridge has many similar draws for tourists and residents like Oxford. A long standing university tradition, boat punting, beautiful parks and ancient buildings often leaves weekend tourists craving for more of this beautiful town. Like Oxford, Cambridge is not far from pretty countryside. Sussex with its gentle rolling hills, vast fields and small villages is a peaceful place to grab some fresh air at the weekends. Norfolk countryside is also holds a lot of appeal for East Anglia residents, drawing people to Cromer beaches. A weekend retreat at the Michelin starred Morston Hall is the perfect luxury weekend treat for those wishing to splash out and sample some of the UK’s finest hospitality and dining.</p>
<p>The proximity of the two towns to London holds a lot of attraction to both as tourists and residents. Both towns are only a modest train commute away from London, reachable within as little as an hour, which of course is home to many of the UK’s most popular tourist and heritage sites such as the London Eye, The Tower Bridge, Thames Boat Rides and The British Museum. This alone makes these two towns great places to live as tourists at home.</p>
<p>Oxford and Cambridge are of course both famous for their universities. Oxford University and Cambridge University are world famous for being some of the world’s oldest and most prestigious universities, renowned for grueling admissions, producing top graduates and of course their traditional way of life. The universities themselves draw a lot of the tourism in from both the UK and abroad.  The towns themselves also hold many attractions not linked to the universities. Visitors to Oxford and Cambridge often come home with many amusing pictures of boat punting on the River Thames or</p>
<p>There are so many great reasons to not fly away this summer, lower your carbon footprint, learn about your English heritage, maybe even help out a foreign tourist, adventure is on your doorstep!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you're looking for a destination that deviates from the usual holiday hot spots, a  <a href=http://www.ivorobic.com/central-asia-2/azerbaijan/baku-part-one>Baku holiday</a> could be an interesting alternative.  It's the capital of Azerbaijan, a country with a fascinating history which sits on the western shore of the <a href=http://www.ivorobic.com>Caspian</a> Sea.  </p>
<p>Baku's story is a long, interesting and violent one; even in the last 500 years various regional Shahs and Russian rulers have laid siege to it and annexed it on several occasions.  <a href=http://www.ivorobic.com>Azerbaijan</a> occupied a strategic location between the Russian and British Empires in the 19th century before oil became the big prize.</p>
<p>Baku is now a transformed city built on oil money so what is there to see in the capital city?  We'll start with the Maiden Tower – built around 800 years ago it's been a focal point for each subsequent generation.  The 'Maiden' was probably a relative of one of Baku's early Khans and may have been imprisoned in the tower at one point.  The Maiden Tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p>
<p>The 500 year old Palace of the Shirvenshahs was built by Ibrahim I after the capital was relocated from Shemakha to Baku.  Part of the historical fascination of the palace is the way it lapsed into disrepair until the middle of the 20th century.  It's now a sprawling site, some of which is restored and some not but it's a great visit.</p>
<p>One of the few beneficial additions the Russians made during their decades of occupation was the Fountain Square, a spacious public area which features dozens of fountains and places to relax.  Cafes and restaurants occupy the periphery for the thirsty tourist.</p>
<p>Baku Old City is another of Baku's World Heritage Sites and parts of it date back around 1300 years.  It's the walled area which would have housed the first inhabitants and it's one of the first stops for any visitors.  In subsequent centuries fortifications were added and the 19th century cannon emplacements are easy to spot.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever there is a holiday around the corner, the most important discussion in a household is about where to go on vacation. There are over a million destinations all around the world and to choose one or two among these is a very tough decision. Everything has to be thought about, from the transportation options available to the number of tourist spots in that place. To find all this information in one place will be an amazing breakthrough.</p>
<p><a href="http://wikitour.net">WikiTour</a> is one such website that offers all the information related to traveling and sight-seeing at just one place. The website has a huge database that helps you to search and find information on any destination in this world. The website contains an organized collection of the information about a place starting from the history of the location, modes of transport that you can use to reach there and use inside that place, tourist spots in the area and accommodation and eating facilities available there. In a nutshell, it is a complete online travel guide.</p>
<p><img src="http://combovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Main-Page.jpg" alt="WikiTour is an online travel guide" /></p>
<p>WikiTour's objective is to enrich the traveling experience by offering a huge content which is significant and can add value for travelers worldwide. To travel means to meet other people, experience their cultures and not only to make, but also to keep good friends. By bringing more people together - albeit before, during or after traveling - WikiTour will create more understanding for different cultures and countries and ultimately a better world for everyone to travel in.</p>
<p>It is the apt description of the website which is still in its nascent stage. The company wants to keep it as simple as possible since their target audience is pretty huge and they don’t want to lose anyone due to a complicated website which is good thinking. If the team can continue with the hard work and can introduce some innovative changes, they could make this website every traveler’s guide. An aim they have set themselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Northern zone of India is the essential part of India Tourism having ample of historical as well as natural wonders. There are a number of monuments that this region could give and they could surely appeal travelers throughout the whole world. If you would like to be close to nature, history and even their mouthwatering cuisine, then taking off an <a href="http://www.little-india.net/" target="_blank">India Holidays</a> would be a better idea for you to consider.</p>
<p><strong>The Chardham of the Garhwal Himalayas</strong><br />
This is definitely the sacred of all of the Hindu Pilgrimages. It is located in the north Indian State of the Uttaranchal. The Chardham includes Gangotri, Badrinath, Kedarnath and Yamunotri. These are the four most venerated sites of the Hindu Pilgrims. So, if you would like to have the best pilgrimage ever, it would be best for you to visit the Chardham of the Garhwal Himalayas.</p>
<p><strong>Experience Fresh &amp; Spiritual Kailash Mansarovar</strong><br />
One of the places that you must never forget when you get into North India tours is visiting such place.</p>
<p>It is a mountain with the majestic beauty as well as four great faces. The Mount Kailash is actually the spiritual center of the four greater religions. These are the Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, The Pre-Buddhist Animistic religion- Bonpo and also the Jain Religion.</p>
<p><strong>Visit Monument of Unselfish Love: Taj Mahal</strong><br />
Who would ever forget this place in North India? Taj Mahal is the reminder of love of a king, The Mughal Emperor Shahjahan to his every dearing queen, Mumtaz Mahal. By building such impressive monument, the emperor had signed up his love all out the horizon. It is simply more than just the word “love”, but a very unselfish and forgiving love.So, if you would like to see this masterpiece,do not forget this on your <a href="http://www.little-india.net/north-india-holidays/index.html" target="_blank">North India Holidays</a>.</p>
<p><strong>See Harmandir Sahib: A Religious Sight</strong><br />
This religious place is better known as the Sri Darbar Sahib or the Golden Temple. It was named right after Hari, which means God, The Temple of God. Sikhs all around the globe, they wish each and every day to give out visits to Sri Amritsar and also to give out their obeisance to Sri Harmandir Sahib into their Ardas.</p>
<p><strong>Explore the History in Hawa Mahal</strong><br />
It is definitely one of the best landmarks that a traveler could find in Jaipur. It is the integral part of the city palace, which is an extension of the Zenana or the women’s chambers and stand out from the primary complex.</p>
<p><strong>Enjoy Romantic Valleys and Hills and Shimla</strong><br />
Shimla was originally a small hill village being named right after the goddess Shimla Devi and the manifestation of the Kali. This place has been discovered by the British in the year 1819 and became a popular refuge from the heat plains of Northern India. In the year 1890, it has then established to be the favorite hill station and a railway line was laid in the year 1903. It is now connected to the plains, making an easy access. The salubrious climate of this place actually helps in making it to be a year round destination for North India tours.</p>
