I think the best time to travel for young people will be in October as the weather is worm and pleasant and some of young people would be able to afford flight or accommodation during the pick seasons such as summer or winter as the there are very expensive. There are also many concerts in New York in October such as Barbra Streisand Concert, Rock Star Supernova and Goo Goo Dolls.
Holiday 2
Type of destination- Natural Destination/Safari
Name of destination- Kenya
Continent- Africa
Type of holiday product- Honeymoon
Customers- Couple
Date of travel- 22/09- 29/09
Destination type- natural destination provides a number of natural attractions that may be attractive for honeymoon couple. I think Kenya is a perfect destination for honeymoon, as it is a very romantic country and an ideal honeymoon destination.
Kenya is a relaxing city with wonderful wildlife safari and exotic and amazing beaches. The couple during they honeymoon in Kenya will be able to relax on the beautiful Diani Beach, swimming with the dolphins and visit Lake Nakuru to see up the two million birds (pink flamingos) on the lake.
Balloon flights is very romantic way of experiencing the view of the city
The customer would probably avoid two rainy seasons. The short rains are in November and the long rains are between March and May. August and October are the best time to visit.
Location and Access
Kenya is located right along the equator on the eastern coast of the Africa next to the Arabian Sea. The quickest and the best type of access to Kenya is by air. There are main airports in Kenya one is in the capital of Kenya in Nairobi and second in Mambasa. Three main daily, direct airlines flight to Kenya from London Heathrow which are British Airways, Virgin Atlantic Airways and Kenya Airways. The cost flaying with British Airways for two persons is around L846.80.
Travel Factors
Climate
Kenya has a tropical climate. It is humid and hot at the coast. There are two rainy seasons, first is between March to May and the second starts on November.
I will recommend for customers traveling to Kenya for honeymoon to go there between July and August, while it is the coolest season and the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius, it is the perfect weather to escape to, for those who live in colder country as for example London.
Time zone
The time difference is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. For example in London is 5 p.m. in Kenya will be 8 p.m. on the same day.
The journey time from London to Kenya Nairobi is 8 hour and 25 minutes. I will recommend for coupe traveling for their honeymoon to take an early flight around 10 am so they will arrived around 9 p.m. on the same day.
I think the time change would not effect the customers as the is only three hours difference.
Kenya offer different option for people looking to travel around the country during their holiday such as buses, the largest Kenya’s buses operate in Nairobi and Mombasa, the bus can be boarded at any shop and tickets purchased on board. Train, the most popular train service is between Nairobi and Mombasa and also taxis which I thing will be most suitable for honeymoon couple. Taxis in Nairobi and other large Kenyan town, are widely available and convenient.
Documents Requirements
People, which has British passport, need a visa to go to Kenya. The cost of single entry visa to Kenya is L30 and the process takes between three and five working days.
Health restriction
Travelers to Kenya should get the medical advice on inoculations and malaria prevention at least four weeks before departure.
A malaria risk exists all year round in Kenya. AIDS is a serious problem in Kenya and the necessary precautions should be taken and also Protections against bites from sandflies, mosquitoes and tsetse flies is the best prevention against malaria and dengue fever, as well as other insect-borne diseases, including Rift Valley fever, sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis..
Motivation
I think climate will motivate the customers to spend their honeymoon in Kenya because the weather is generally warm all year round, with plenty of sunshine and cooler nights and mornings. Visitors can enjoy activities on the beaches and in the National Parks. Other motivation is the safari and wildlife where people can see the different types of animals.
Holiday 3
Type of destination- Historical/ Business
Name of destination- Beijing
Continent- Asia
Type of holiday product- all-inclusive
Customers- Business Person
Date of travel- 20/04- 25/04
Destination Type- this is historical destination for businessperson. I choose Beijing as it has very long and interesting history which may be enjoyable for business person. During the business conducting the customer can experience the history in the capital city of China. I choose a businessman because Beijing is a very interesting and beautiful city with long history but Beijing has also become the perfect destination for conducting business ventures and the city has a number of welcoming and comforting resources for the business traveler including accommodations or transport.
Beijing is easily accessible form London, by air, and it also provide very excellent rail network and convenient transfers from airport to the hotel.
Because the city is a good destination for conducting business with excellence transport links thousands of business travelers conduct business in Beijing each year.
As I mention before the best access to Beijing from London is by air. There are different airlines companies, which fly to Beijing from London such as British Airways fly directly from London Heathrow to Beijing Capital International Airport, which is located just 17 miles away from the city centre. Other airlines such as Emirates flies from London Heathrow via Dubai and KLM flies via Amsterdam to the capital city of China.
Journey from the airport to the Beijing’s center city take less than an hour. To get around the city travelers can use taxies underground and buses. Beijing does not provide car rentals but people can hire a driver for a specific period of time.
The flight from London to Beijing takes approximately 10 hours. I thing this will be a long journey for business person which flight to particular destination for business meting. The business customers may be affected by the length of journey as they may be tired and because of that I think that the business person should travel to Beijing at least one day before the conference.
Climate
Beijing has a humid continental climate with hot humid summers and cold dry winters.
The summer season is hot and rainy, the temperature in the city can reach up to 38 degrees Celsius. Spring is quite dry and windy. Autumn is the most ideal time to visit the city because the climate is moderate and accommodating. Winters in Beijing can be very cold and the temperatures can even drop to temperature lower than -14 degrees Celsius.
Time Zone
The time difference is eight hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. For example in London is 7 am, in Beijing will be 4pm. The time zone may affect people traveling to Beijing from London as it is quite big difference , they may have problems with sleeping.
Attractions
There is a number of very interesting and beautiful attractions in Beijing such as Great wall of china, Tiananmen Square, The National Museum of China, but as business person may have limited time and be tired after the business meeting. I think the day trip with the tour guide will be most suitable for the business person because it will give the opportunity to visit fantastic places around Beijing in one day.
Motivation
Beijing is motivating tourists to visit the city as it provide lots of facilities for leisure and business customers. Travellers visiting Beijing can also experience their history and culture. Weather in Beijing is also motivation as is nice and accommodating.
Visitors also are motivated to go to china as this is value for money, British pound is stronger currency than Chinese Yuen.

Barbados provide a huge variety of activities such as
Fishing- tourists can fish in lot of different places but fishing in Barbados is just amazing, the warm water offer ideal fishing for Tuna, barracuda and Wahoo.

In addition Orlando offer for visitors beautiful beach where family can lay down on the sandy beach and relax.
The best time to visit Orlando for families with children will be in March as children may have spring break at school on that time and there will be less visitors so the Theme Park and malls will be less crowded than in July or November. Also in March the temperature will be ideal for kids as summer may be to hot for them.
