EDEN European hidden gems

17 August, 2010 - 21:04 — Davide

Location

Bruxelles
Belgium

Europe is one of the most visited destinations in the World. Its cultural diversity, deeply-rooted traditions and rituals, together with the rich history creates an unforgettable atmosphere, which attract millions of visitors each year. Increasingly, however, holidaymakers are looking for off the beaten track destinations, which remain undiscovered, pristine and idle. The EU-initiated project European Destinations of Excellence (EDEN) aims at promoting these destinations, and revealing the grand potential of some of the most remote areas in the participating EU member states, candidate countries and the EFTA countries as new tourism destinations. It invites tourists from all over the world to discover the hidden gems that Europe has to offer.

This is the fourth video in the series to promote responsible tourism in South Africa. From our first destination, Cape Town. We interview Jennifer Aston, from WHL (southafricahotel-link.com/) and ask her how she views the position of responsible tourism in South Africa, and any practical tips she can provide to help people to reduce their negative impact. We then meet with a local friend and tour guide (Siviwe Mbinda) for walking tour around Langa - the first black township in Cape Town. He explains the history from apartheid to current day, and how tourism has helped benefit the local community. We even share a beer and watch a soccer game in a shebeen with the locals.

Adventure of a lifetime in Ladakh India

12 June, 2010 - 17:30 — lrstraub

Arriving in Ladakh is possibly one of the greatest adventures in the world. Whether you travel on bus through the land of high passes from Spiti or take a flight through the majestic mountains as I did. Nothing quite describes the flight into Ladakh. As the airplane ascends through the largest mountain range in the world, the Himalayas seem to change color at every angle as the plane swoops between these giant peaks. Your flight comes to an abrupt end on the shortest runway and the highest elevated airport in the world. Welcome to Ladakh. My breath is immediately taken away when I walk off the plane. Not in a metaphorical sense but literally as it is hard to breathe from the lack of oxygen at 11,500 ft. The purple mountains glow in the background as your head starts to feel dizzy. After arriving at your hotel it is necessary to take a day of rest before seeing the sites to acclimate to the altitude.

Location

Umbria Todi
Italy

Situated in the centre of the “Bel Paese”, Umbria  is one of the smallest regions in Italy. The gentleness of the landscape, the still uncontaminated nature and its central geographic position have earned this land the name of the “Green Heart of Italy”. Thanks to a growing community of travellers  who want to have more in a travel than only an amazing place to stay for a while, more and more tourists are deciding to spend their holidays in this beautiful land, famed destination of the Grand Tours travellers and Land of the Saints, very rich in culture, folklore and ancient gastronomic traditions.

Critical Mass Bike Ride

28 May, 2010 - 10:12 — Admin

Location

Around London London
United Kingdom
Event date: 
27 August, 2010 - 18:00 - 21:00

Critical Mass is a bicycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month in over 300 cities around the world. While the ride was originally founded in 1992 in San Francisco with the idea of drawing attention to how unfriendly the city was to cyclists, the leaderless structure of Critical Mass makes it impossible to assign it any one specific goal. In fact, the purpose of Critical Mass is not formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes. (Wikipedia)

The London Mass meets at 6.00pm on the last Friday of every month on the South Bank under Waterloo Bridge, by the National Film Theatre.

See you in the mass!!!!!!

A way of travelling

19 October, 2009 - 14:14 — Davide

Responsible tourism is a way of travelling which is more aware and respectful towards the place or country in which you travel, the people you meet and your own habits. It takes into consideration your own culture and that which you encounter. It goes beyond mass group tourism to raise curiosity for the new territory visited.
