Where to Stay in Paris
May 27th, 2008 by Ted Liptak
Pack your compass. As if to spurn the burgeoning crop of luxury palaces and slick boutique hotels crowding the Champs-Élysées area, a new wave of hip, independent-minded high-concept hotels is homesteading Paris’s more remote, less visited neighborhoods. Simply trying to find them is half the fun.
Owned partly by the proprietors of the nightclub Le Baron, the Hotel Amour hides in an untouristed, undistinguished lane near Pigalle, Paris’s red-light district. Like Le Baron, the place has become a darling of the international fashion and rock ‘n’ roll set.

Some Tips to Make Business Travel Easier
May 27th, 2008 by Ted Liptak
Some people love to travel, even if it’s for business. But for most of us, business travel can really be a pain. It always seems to happen when you don’t think you can fit one more thing into your schedule or when you have just gotten back from another business trip. But there are some positive things about business travel.
Let’s start with what we can do to make the airport component of the travel flow more easily. Check in can be performed online with some airlines and by kiosk at the airport at others. Most of us bring PCs with us during our business travels so checking in online and assigning our own seats is easy. Of course you’ll need to print your boarding pass so as you check into your hotel be sure to ask about use of a business center where there are printers.

What to Do in Paris
May 27th, 2008 by Ted Liptak
“Ça fait longtemps!” is what French friends say to each other when they meet up for the first time in years. With the recent reopening of two major Parisian museums after long renovations — and the debut of a third after years of expectations — the phrase could practically be Paris’s motto these days. But the wait has been well worth it.
After a five-year expansion project, the Beaux Arts-style Petit Palais reopened its doors in 2005. Like a miniature Louvre (without the Louvre’s crowds), the museum houses a diverse collection, spanning ancient Grecian urns, medieval panel paintings, Rembrandt’s “Self-Portrait in Oriental Attire,” Louis XV-era furniture, French Impressionism, the symbolist works of Odilon Redon and Art Nouveau ceramics.

Caribbean Tourism In a Crisis
May 19th, 2008 by Ted Liptak
A REQUEST for the funding of a $188 million marketing drive aimed at reviving the slumping Caribbean tourism sector, will be among several measures sought by key tourism stakeholders at the Caricom Heads of Government meeting in July.
Speaking at the 17th meeting of the Caribbean Media Exchange on Sustainable Tourism at the Isla Verde Holiday Inn in San Juan, Puerto Rico, St Lucia’s Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister, Senator Allen Chastanet, lambasted the failure of successive Caribbean governments to tap into the potential of the tourism market.
“This debate must stop. We need to step out of the box and take a very different perspective.

Medical Tourism in Australia
May 19th, 2008 by Ted Liptak
Overseas visitors could be adding boob jobs and dental work to their itineraries in a bold bid by the holiday industry to capture some of the $US20 billion ($21 billion) medical tourism market.
While thousands of Australians head to mainly Asian countries for medical procedures, little is being done to lure some of the 19 million annual global health visits here.
Jones Lang LaSalle health manager Lois Towart said Asian travellers saw Australia’s medical system as being of high quality and backed by a legal system mitigating against liability for malpractice.
“For them, Australia is a much more viable option for medical travel than Europe or the US,” Ms Towart said.
