Disney World, the most visited tourist attraction in the USA!

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Go to Florida and head down to Orlando, the sun shining city. This place is known worldwide for all of its most amazing tourist attractions and awe inspiring resorts.

 

Walt Disney was responsible for creating some of the best known cartoon characters in the world; he was also responsible for the construction of the biggest holiday resort in the world. Disney World as said is the largest of all the tourist resorts, and is also the most visited in the entire world receiving about 17 million visitors just to the Magic Kingdom resort. It is separated into four main theme parks and has 23 themed hotels, something for everyone. Orlando holidays have soared because of Disney World.

 

Next up is the Universal Orlando resort. This is the second largest resort in the whole of the Orlando area, second to Disney world. In Universal, you can experience all of your favourite films and visit some of the specific areas where your favourite film heroes are at the Islands of Adventure. In 1999 the Resort had two large hotels built when it became apparent that more revenue could be made for people that wanted to stay for a weekend or even a week. Thanks to this Theme park, the employment rate is high in this area, they employ a huge amount of staff and attract lots of tourism.

 

Last but by no means is least, the Sea World Orlando. This is probably the most stunning of all the sea life resorts around. Each year this amazing marine wonder-world, takes in over six million tourists each and every year. It is hard to explain Sea World as a sea life centre becuase really it is more of a theme park, it wouldn’t be right to play down the fact it has roller coasters and other attractions you might find at a regular theme park. Shamu is the most famous Killer Whale in the world, he performs many tricks and stunts in an arena surrounded by many people and have become the much loved Mascot of the Sea World.

 

Many people go on America holidays to see these amazing places, it is clear that Orlando is very famous for all these amazing attractions. In Nevada Las Vegas holidays bring a very different format to the holiday destination.

Ancient cultures in Egypt are very well preserved, it is also a fantastic Holiday Destination!

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Egypt is very large and is up in the north east of Africa. If you go to Egypt you will find that you can chill out, or if you want go and travel the lands in search of the ancient buildings and tombs that surround it.

 

One of Egypt’s most prominent features is obviously its pyramids. When the Pyramid was finally built, it was at a height of over one hundred and fort metres. For a structure to last 4000 years it shows how much workmanship went into them. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2561 BC, that’s about 4500 years ago. The history of the Egyptians is very diverse and strong, it is clearly preserved in Egypt’s culture as well. There is also the Sphinx and the River Nile as well.

 

The holiday resorts in Egypt are gorgeous as well. They are truly beautiful sites to behold. Egypt has some amazing resorts as well, they must have taken notes from the pyramids. Going to Egypt doesn’t have to be all about the sites, you can go to Egypt’s second Capital, Alexandria. Many of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World were in Egypt. In Egypt or more precisely Alexandria, there was One of these Seven Wonders of the World. This Lighthoue was built over two thousand years ago, it was thought that it towered at about one hundred and thirty five metres tall, it was severely damaged by an earthquake and fell a few years later.

 

Still in all of these places like Alexandria is the evidence of a powerful and unique ancient civilization that used to roam the world many years ago. Egypt holidays aren’t all just about the site seeing though. The beach holidays in Egypt are massively growing tourists applications, they offer some of the most spectacular diving sites in the world.

 

Luxury holidays in Egypt have been a growing attraction to tourists all over the world, and with trips to the Pyramids and the likes of Mount Sinai Caribbean holidays have a new holiday hot-spot contender.
