Today the most advanced tourists-travellers and having a rest

FROM MODERN HISTORY the First amateur sites devoted
To tourism and travel, to Russia have appeared in 1995-96. In
The core, it there were the unpretentious homepages devoted
To personal impressions of travel, or looked, as reports on
To mountain, water and other campaigns. Perhaps, very first of
Serious sites in the Russian zone of the Internet the Command has created "
Bitter "http://www.teamgorky.ru/-firm from Nizhni Novgorod,
Engaged in adventure tourism.
The tourist server has appeared one of the first in the spring of 1996
"100 Roads", settling down then in any confidential scientific research institute on
To www.mosinfo.com/tourserv address. In 1997 the site has changed the domain
On www.tours.ru. With popularity growth domestic and foreign
Tour agencies have started to place on him the permits in the different ends
Light. On www.tours.ru it is told about the popular countries and
Resorts, there were links to foreign tourist resources, the review
The tourist press, a good advice and another is given
The tourist information. Now it is one of the most interesting and
Popular tourist resources of the Network.
Appreciable influence on development of the tourist Internet have rendered
Two projects of company "City-info". The first - a tourist server
www.globus.ru - One of the first projects, in which information about
Rounds, the countries, firms undertook from a database. Very beautiful
The site made in style of an epoch of Great geographical opening, but
It also was very long loaded on the then slow telephone
Lines.
The second - the English-speaking server www.moscow-guide.ru - was one
From the first projects calculated on foreigners, going to
To visit capital or already living here. On a site it was possible
To gather the information on hotels, restaurants, shops, theatres
Moscow, in the same place allowed tour agency advertising counting to involve
Foreign tourists to Russia.
The BEST TOURIST RESOURCES Though in 1997-98 has appeared
It is a lot of the sites devoted to tourism, applying on
The subjects omnitude, however, from them not all managed to be "lived"
Up to now. The largest and interesting resources on
To tourism today are, except aforementioned "100 Roads",
TRAVEL.RU - A server about tourism and travel, and also
www.time2travel.ru - Tourist section of a portal "Cyril and
Mefody ".
The present boom among tourist Internet firms has begun in
The end 90. The firm site "Shop became one of successful projects
"Burning" permits "www.tournews.ru, grown in 1998-99
Years. The successful name of firm, stylish design, skilful promotion
In the Network have allowed this site and firm to be beaten out in leaders among
Russian tourist industry. By the way, it was the first example, when
The tour agency has counted in the business on the Internet and has achieved
Success.
As interest to tourism does not weaken, in a Runet
The present boom is observed. There are new interesting courageous
Projects, such as a site www.tio.ru - "Tourism and Rest - reserve
Round ". It is a joint site of the Moscow tour operators. Tour operator -
It is the firm, which itself я п?п?п?п eя rounds and п©я я eп п п , and then п©я п?п?п eя
To their tourists, or travel agencies. Good tour operator
Contains guides in that country where people go, at it constants
Contacts to hotels, the transport companies, in general with all,
That anyhow concerns tourists.
AS THIS ALL to USE through one of such resources
Has got to Maldives and one of tourists has spent there a honeymoon,
Which after rest has written about him the story:
"... To Thailand very much it would be desirable to fly, there there is all: and the sea
Warm with a heat in 30 degrees, and a heap of that to have a look, and on elephants
To drive, but time at us was all week, and to fly there
Almost 11 hours. It was necessary to solve something. Certainly, all
Exotic islands remained a limit of our desire, but
For some reason it seemed to us, that the prices there well it is simple chrrrrrrezvychajno
The other-wordly. And here my liked and beloved (then the groom still)
Has come across the announcement on the Internet "Maldives for 899$".
Bystrenko having learnt as as, at us all doubts have vanished on
To occasion where to spend a honeymoon (though to fly there too not
It is not enough - 9 hours with planting, but after all Maldives are Maldives).
We have paid, the truth, is sensitive more, since. Have chosen hotel
Better, thus having received the discount in 100$ as a newly-married couple. And here
Wedding is played, sun glasses and a protective cream (which, it is necessary
To tell, in February in Moscow to find was with some difficulty, it is softly told)
Are bought, the suitcase is collected, jackets-dublenki are given seeing off mums
To-daddies, and we appear in plane A-310... "Through the Internet
Really easily "bystrenko to learn, as as". Almost all
Specialised sites open the hugest list
Permits offered by tour operators for all tastes. Is here
Traditional both all-weather Egypt and the Austrian Alpes,
Classical Italy and more the Russian unknown to a wide range
Tourists, but attractive High and Low Tatra mountains. That was
It is easier to understand and select round, it is possible to sort all
The list on the countries or under the prices. Also it is recommended to look
The general information in directions where the general is presented
The geographical and climatic information. Here there are links
For acquaintance to concrete rounds and their further
Booking.
Besides, at a number of the advanced resources is own
Sections of news. Here daily there is an information, which
It can be useful or simply curious. For example, one of these days with
The link to one of network editions in a heading of news already
Mentioned portal there was a note about a pig, which on
To error of employees of the American airline "US Airways" was
It is accepted aboard as the tourist and has departed in salon of passengers
The first class. But the animal has not taken out human conditions
Flight and as the liner gained height, havronja
Has begun to squeal as rezannaja, and then and at all became uncontrollable. From -
For what the company management should be apologised and
In every possible way to pray for forgiveness the sins before clients.
In information section following headings are presented:
"Weather in the world","Courses of world currencies"and"the Dictionary
Tourist terminology ", in which besides explanations of everyones
Base concepts, such, as "the English breakfast",
The every possible abbreviations meeting in are deciphered
Offers of travel agencies, air tickets and questionnaires
Hotels.
At a site www.tournews.ru - the lotions. Here it is possible not simply
To pick up to itself an interesting trip, perhaps, for the most favourable
To the prices but also to charge this business to the employee of firm. It on yours
To wishes in the shortest terms will find some the corresponding
To the chosen criteria of permits. Interest of many visitors of it
Portal calls section "pair Search in round". Every year, and it
Has been started in 1997, "searcher" uses the increasing
Popularity. Here tourists select to themselves fellow travellers, that not
To pay superfluous dollars for single rooms or to test
Inconveniences because of that the head of group has lodged with
The "unpleasant" person who transforms rest into tortures. People
Non-standard sexual orientation also find here to itself
Friends and girlfriends, and insolvent fans of travel
Get sponsors.
All messages "hot" as take places only for
Some days to a prospective trip to a uniform database,
Which, by the way speaking, it "is visible" on one of central
Tourist resources of a Runet - "the Business tourist portal"
www.btp.ru And on its mirrors and affiliated sites. Probably,
Therefore those who searches for partners in road, always find them.
At one Internet firm specialising on tourism,
All business is constructed as though on the contrary. That is not from the available
Permits to consumers, and from inquiries of users of a network to
To tour operators. Wishing to have a rest directly on a site fill
The special form in which specify where they would want
To go, what to look, in what terms. This inquiry instantly
Goes to tour agencies, and they respond to it the
Offers. At last the client needs to choose that offer,
With which on a parity "the price - quality" most of all arranges.
That this quality raised, on many sites
Internet tour agencies specialised sections, where already are created
The people who have visited on rest can tell not only about
Seen, but also about the relation to them of managers tourist
The companies, about hotels in which rest is offered. If these
Impressions will appear negative, with the unfair company
Will fly hardly and it, not having sustained a competition, simply
It will be ruined.
Unfortunately, unlike foreign analogues, in Russia yet
The on-line system of purchases in general and rounds, in particular is developed.
It in the West, having entered number of the credit card, you can at once
To pay a trip and within several hours to receive tickets.
Here - it is direct on a site will unostentatiously suggest to get a package
Additional services with which can use in
Time of travel and to buy the goods in road.
And, their spectrum is extraordinary wide - from fishing tackles and
Inflatable boats to mountain-skiing boots, a cream for sunburn and fashionable
Sun glasses.
Any offlajnovaja the office cannot offer the such
Operative and evident representation of the information on travel and
Round and furthermore will not pick up the fellow traveller.
By the way, about the fellow traveller. Among other projects connected with
Travel and trips, especially it is necessary to note a novelty
www.poputka.ru. It not a commercial site, on which any
The interested person can find to itself the fellow traveller in road, and it is not obligatory
The long. As its founders declare: "This site is created for this purpose,
To unite the people having the personal car, and those who not
Wishes to go every day by public transport ". After all
Daily millions people follow on the routes on job,
Home, in university, on a summer residence, in a city... Someone in comfort on
Personal avto, and someone, spoiling nerves to itself and associates, in
Public transport. So why not to reduce these people
Together and not to facilitate a life both that and another? For this purpose, as
Authors explain, and project poputka.ru, the basic motto have been created
Which "Find to itself the fellow traveller." The project national and to develop
Can only in the event that about п?eп learns as it is possible bolshee
Quantity of people that they could find each other.
And for whom it basically is necessary? First of all to passengers. Instead of
That to pine pending at stops (frequently at the bad
To weather), to be pushed in public transport, to follow with
Changes, it is possible to reach for the same money in comfort, though
The majority of drivers п©pп п?п п пЁп я я to bring up fellow travellers free of charge. And
Drivers on a way on job or home can earn a tchervonets -
Another (it already as you will agree) and to pay back expenses for gasoline. Yes
And easier to communicate to the person, to get new (and, most likely,
Pleasant) acquaintance.
To that there is a weight of preconditions. In particular, a forum-page
Site where it is possible to meet preliminary "on correspondence". For
Uses of a site of access to an existing database of drivers
And passengers it is necessary to be registered. Then to describe routes,
On which you would like to follow, specifying points on the map.
The route can be one though frequently it is more than them. So, if you
Wish to find the fellow traveller on road on job and home it is necessary
To enter two routes. Your routes will be brought in a database
That other people could find you.
VIRTUAL TOURISM And why also is not present? After all exists
Virtual sex.
In virtual tourism and travel to be engaged not less
Fascinatingly, than real. Especially now, when more and more
Appears the allocated high-speed lines of access to a network and already
It is not necessary to wait for several minutes while the next will be loaded
Page. On the countries and continents it is possible in literal sense
To fly in few seconds. With development of new technologies at
Internet users not so long ago there was a possibility not
Easier to thumb through albums with photos and descriptions of the Louvre, Great
Pyramids and the Capitol, on them now it is possible to wander, moving
One movement of the mouse in labyrinths, corridors and offices.
By means of web chambers which, apparently, are established already in
All corners of the world, it is easy to see the world such what it is in
The given moment. As the spectator with their help it is possible
To be present at festivals, carnivals or award delivery
"Oscar". Everything, that it is possible to look, you will not list, but then
It will necessarily want to visit all these places most. And
Then we habitually will enter into the Internet, we will pick up to ourselves round for taste,
At once we will pay it or we will issue on credit and we will depart to ocean...
But it will occur sometime in the future.
