For immediate release . . . The Finest European Travel Experiences Begin Here How are consumers responding to record high fuel costs, soaring air fares and a weak US dollar? Clearly some have decided to put off their travel plans until better times arrive. The first thing wrong with that is: they'll miss one of the best parts of this year's travel scene - smaller crowds because of all of the U.S. travelers who stayed home, and all the Europeans who traveled to the States because of the great exchange rates that European currencies enjoy. Beyond that, there are a few things that really do make good sense for today's traveler. For a start, look for value added accommodations. Despite all those ads you see on TV, better European hotels are always loathe to discount their rates - at least in the US market. The more clever hoteliers are often keen to include value added inducements that leave their rates, and their brand's dignity, intact but also include extra features that give tangible added value and a genuine financial incentive to the traveler. The next tactic is the clincher - get more enjoyment and more fulfillment out of your travel experiences. The best way to do this is to plan a perfect itinerary, one that really reflects your lifestyle interests. An ideal place to begin your quest for the perfect European adventure is an online magazine created 11 years ago, exclusively for the upscale traveler. The name of this online publication is LuxuryTraveler. The first important thing is; yes, it is packaged for the upscale traveler. But its extensive content is eminently useful and relevant to all travelers, especially those with an appreciation for the arts and cultural experiences. And who wouldn't enjoy an award winning, classic design so reminiscent of the best print magazines, where navigation is so viewer friendly and intuitive cover to cover. As you begin the Luxury Traveler experience, you are reminded of the virtues offered by simplicity and how a single event presented in this manner can capture ones interest. On to a contents page where eight special interest sections and current feature articles await your attention. This is a place where the arts and culture take center stage. There's nothing tricky here; London Theatre is just that; "what's on" in the greatest English speaking theatre district in the world. Ditto Destinations: where expertise abounds on simply wonderful places to visit throughout Europe and the British Isles. Opera & Ballet and Museums & Galleries are both brimming with the works of great artists in all genres and all movements of the arts, The Seasons calendar offers a wide variety of interesting events punctuated with generous helpings of pageantry, pomp and circumstance. Encore gives access to the most popular articles from previous issues which remain timeless in their relevance to the European travel experience. LUXE is a showcase dedicated to the icons of luxury travel and STATESIDE gives top arts and cultural events in the USA advance notice to travelers whose movements often include America's major metropolitan areas. All that aside, the arts and calendar editors at LuxuryTraveler are perpetually updating content with reliable input of recognized experts in their respective fields. As one moves from lifestyle sections to feature articles the input of media managers in leading arts, cultural and tourism organizations becomes apparent. There is a completeness of thought here that supports the notion of genuine proficiency and reliability about locations, events, performances and the like. This takes the concept of "know before you go" to astounding new heights. In between visits to LuxuryTraveler, our Arts & Travel Weblog will come to you, if you wish.
