Rejsebøger og rejseguides: Hoteller og overnatning

Marrakech er et af de allermest populære rejsemål i tiden – hver eneste dag året rundt ankommer hundredevis af turister fra alle egne af kloden til ”den røde by” for foden af Atlasbjergene, og danskerne er mere end godt repræsenteret. Interessen for Marrakech har oplevet et enormt boom inden for de seneste 5 år, og tendensen ser ud til at fortsætte. Det er ikke så underligt, for denne by har simpelthen det hele: utallige historiske og kulturelle seværdigheder, en rig og raffineret madkultur, smukt udført håndværk, sublime dekorative detaljer samt en helt særegen stemning i byens små, smalle gader og stræder – for bare at nævne noget af det, der kan opleves her. I november 2017 udkom forfatterens første bog om Marrakech med stor succes: Marrakech – smag, steder og stemning. Efter at have erfaret, at mange rejsende på trods af bogens størrelse har medbragt den til Marrakech og har brugt den som guide, imødekommer hun dette behov ved at skrive en ny udgave i et mere handy format, som gør det nemmere at have den med på rejsen. Det har samtidig givet muligheden for at udvide indholdet betragteligt, så bogen nu er det tætteste, man kommer på en komplet guide til Marrakech – personligt oplevet og indlevende fortalt. Den første af sin art på dansk – og på andre sprog i øvrigt. Bogens emner inkl. masser af fakta og gode tips: Historie & kultur • Seværdigheder & museer • Cafeer & restauranter • Riads & arkitektur • Parker • Kulturhuse & gallerier • Hammam • Håndværk & shopping • Souk & markeder • Praktisk information Om forfatteren Maria Wittendorff er exam.art. i arabisk og mange- årig skribent og redaktør på magasiner og bøger. Hun har i 30 år rejst i Nordafrika og er drevet af mødet mellem kulturer, forståelsen af historiens cirkler og nysgerrigheden efter at udfordre og udvide sin egen begrebsverden.

Det er igen blevet populært at holde ferie på badehoteller. Danskerne tager ud på hotellerne for at forkæle sig selv med god mad, ture i naturen og badning i havet.Samtidig nyder gæsterne at træde ind i et stykke kulturhistorie, der rækker små hundrede år tilbage i tiden.Ikke mindst TV2’s serie ”Badehotellet” har sat fokus på badehotellernes historie ogvækket interessen for landets badehoteller.Den nye bog ”Vi har det så dejligt! Badehotellerne, gæsterne og postkortene, som de sendte” af Lene Nørgaard Munch fortsætter, der hvor tv-serien slutter. Den uddyber livet på de enkelte hoteller og pensionater, den fanger sladderhistorierne i korridorerne, den hvisker om tragiske mord, og den vender postkortene og læser op om kærlighedsaffærer, der aldrig burde have fundet sted. Den er ikke kun en historisk beretning om en tidsperiode, den er også en fortælling om mennesker, og det liv de levede, når de var hjemmefra og formerne var en anelse løsere.

In ancient times the Danube bordered the Roman Empire, later the river was the lifeline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the Iron Curtain separated countries and ended the economic and cultural connection of the countries till 1989. The changeful history of the countries at the Danube cycle route between Vienna and Bratislava cannot only be seen in cities like Bratislava, Györ or Esztergom, but also right next to the route at the roman excavations at Petronell-Carnuntum. The cycling tourist can look forward to excellent cycling paths on the dykes that line the Danube which leads him through its floodplains. Not less scenic is the Danube's Bend near Visegrád where the river turns south and is headed to Hungarian capital city, Budapest.

What makes a Million Dollar Host? Ask Julie George. In 2016, curiosity led her to list her first property on the trending Airbnb site. In no time at all, it became apparent that there was more than just 'holiday money' to be made. Far from simply listing properties, Julie George turned a 'hobby' into a business. A very profitable one. Move forward a year and Julie's 'hobby' took 1.43million dollars in bookings with her second year looking likely to double that amount. In Million Dollar Host Julie George shows you how you can do the same - even if you don't own a property to list. Already got a rental? Then maximise your earnings by moving from longterm rentals to Airbnb. At the beginning of 2016, Julie George wrote a list of the goals that she hoped to achieve in the short-term. They consisted of: Establishing an innovative business that could be scaled-up and applied anywhere in the world. Creating a business that worked for her rather than being a slave to it. This meant she could still develop other ideas and 'have a life'. Developing a business that would change the lives of all involved (employees, contractors, property owners) Starting a company without having to borrow any money Earning money in an industry where payments from customers were straight-forward Generating enough income to afford a private office, a bar fridge and car parking space.Fast forward 18-months and did Julie George achieve these things? Yes, she did. And more!..Like most entrepreneurs, Julie was able to see a gap in the market, in this case, in the way Airbnb properties were managed. After listing her first property, she saw how straightforward and promising listing on the site could be. With her experience in real estate, it was easy for her to compare the income generated from longterm rentals to the more lucrative short-holiday lets.Another issue that Julie identified was that Airbnb property owners were not taking full advantage of the site. This, she discovered, was either through lack of time or inexperience.In a short turnaround, Julie had a second property on the Airbnb market while, at the same time, managing a client's properties. Throughout this process, Julie was able to put the wheels of her own business Host My Home in motion. At the same time, her book, Million Dollar Host was created.In Million Dollar Host Julie George shows YOU how: To use a multitude of strategies to make an income from Airbnb - even if you don't own property. To maximise your listing(s) on Airbnb by formatting a great listing. To implement her tips and shortcuts to make your listing stand out. To find new Airbnb properties to manage. To start building your own multi-million-dollar business on the back of the sharing economy.If financial freedom and being your own boss are just some of your dreams - read on. Julie George's entrepreneurial vision has seen her tap into the Airbnb 'sharing economy' and transform it into a highly profitable business.In Million Dollar Host, Julie shares knowledge and experience and her tips and insider tricks so you can set up a similar business in your area. She takes you through every step of the process, from maximising your listing potential to ways to expand your property management portfolio and offerings.Even better, Julie's strategies to make a hefty profit from Airbnb apply even if you don't own your own rental property!When it comes to building a business out of Airbnb, the possibilities are as endless as the earnings.
