Website that Simplifies Vacation Planning

Want to find the best travel deals available without having to spend hours visiting or calling multiple travel agents? Etravel Connect (www.etravelconnect.com) provides the solution for you.

Launched in January this year, Etravel Connect provides information on more than 1,000 travel packages from over 15 travel agencies in Singapore. The one-stop online portal allows holidaymakers to compare travel packages side-by-side and the firm also assists corporate personnel to locate the best travel packages for company and event trips.

“Etravel Connect makes travel planning easier,” said founder and director Cecilia Lohanata. “It allows travelers to search and compare travel packages – tour packages, free and easy, and land tours – across multiple travel agencies in Singapore.”

Specializing in travel opportunities to places around the globe, Etravel Connect allows vacationers to search for any travel destination by name, departure date, duration, or by a specific price range. The site maintains a comprehensive list of destinations from which to choose, before narrowing selection to a specific locale.

Complete information is provided for each travel package. Listings feature data on accommodations, transportation, guides and languages, along with any restrictions or special conditions. Individuals can read reviews from other travelers and obtain a complete itinerary. Those eager to take a break from a hectic professional life, find a family vacation venue, or travel on a budget will find options at Etravel Connect.

Travelers can choose from a myriad of tour packages to countries on virtually any continent. Individuals can journey to view the ancient wonders of Egypt, bask in the sun of Maldives, or sample the delights of Taiwan. Those seeking unique entertainments and amusements can choose from multiple destinations on the East and West Coast of the U.S.

For individuals and families who prefer a more leisurely pace, Etravel Connect offers free and easy packages featuring flights and accommodations. Itineraries are less structured and in many instances, visitors have carte blanche to set their own schedule for site seeing, attending amusements and enjoying leisure time activities.

“Tour packages are popular in Asia,” said Cecilia, “and travelers have had to visit multiple travel agencies to obtain brochures, compare prices and check availability. Our website eliminates this time-consuming and inefficient process.” Etravel Connect allows travelers to submit enquiries to multiple travel agents with a click of a button and the respective travel agents will respond within 2-3 business days. For those wanting a faster response, Etravel Connect provides “live chat” function for some travel agents.

The development and launch of Etravel Connect grew from Cecilia’s frustration with planning her family’s yearly vacation. It was a labor intensive process that involved hours of research on multiple websites. She and her programmer husband, William collaborated to create ETravel Connect to make planning a getaway easy and stress free.

The launch of Etravel Connect provides individuals, families and companies with a single website that collect, collate and compare prices for travel packages. The site features luxury land and tour packages, along with free and easy options for budget conscious travelers.

Etravel Connect continues to grow by listening to its users and giving them what they want – a travel website that is fast, flexible and finds the best travel package with no added fees and no fuss.

Cool hotel deals in Asia's cooler regions

Would you like to give a break from Asia’s often warm and humid winter weather and take a getaway to Asia's cooler regions? Then the cool hotel deals in some of Asia's most temperate regions announced by Agoda.com, Asia's leading and fastest growing online hotel reservation service, may be just for you.

No matter if it’s someone who lives in any number of Asia’s steamy capitals, or one of the many visitors from colder regions who aren’t quite ready for the jump in temperature and humidity, spending time in Asia can be a wearying experience. Excursions in low-lying areas, capital cities, islands or beaches can often be an exercise in endurance, as even during the Asian “winter” temperatures can hit 30 Celsius or more.

But there is a way to take a break from the sweltering environment – leave the sweaty markets and concrete jungles behind and escape to destinations that enjoy cooler, more comfortable temperatures.

After all, Asia is home to some of the world’s most imposing mountain ranges – from the Himalayas in Bhutan and Northern Myanmar to Indonesia’s giant Sudirman peaks to the lush, jagged heights of the Hoang Lien Son range in Vietnam, and many of them are dotted with relaxing, scenic towns and villages.

Cameron Highlands

Thanks to the dramatic geography, anyone staying in these areas will wake up to misty valleys and cool mountain air, with temperatures averaging 15-25 degrees Celsius. Most mountain destinations offer a wide variety of activities on top of visiting local tourist spots, including bird watching, trekking, biking, rock climbing, or simply just strolling around the town checking out markets and making friends with locals.

The Agoda.com specials on the hotels below make a trip to one of Asia’s many mountainous regions an especially easy decision to make. A short stay in any of the towns listed below will be welcome relief to those who live in Asia, and make the temperature difference between home and that island paradise with white sand and blue water a bit easier to take for high-season visitors.
