For example, those located in the Pyrenees, one of the most beautiful regions in Spain and why not also the European continent, and its facilities are preparing to welcome thousands of tourists who love the snow in the coming months.

We will tell you about two of the best known of the region such as stations and Astún Candanchu with several proposals to attract skiers from the experienced to those just starting out in this exciting sport. In the first, the regulars will find new proposals as the new snowpark at the height of the area under Tobazo. According to the owners of the place this area skiers will provide optimal security conditions for all to enjoy to the fullest without any problems.

But undoubtedly the biggest investment in the region of the Pyrenees has made ​​Astún station works in excess of two and half million euros. Here you will find more than thirty new guns for snowmaking will cover areas of slides and walls. To be attentive as the tickets for this season will be exiting the market in coming days.

Among the streets of Old Town and opposite the parish of Santa Maria-key point in the tourist map of Tolosa, is the favorite place for most tourists who decide to visit the town paper.

It’s been eight years since the opening of the tourist Tolosaldea Tour. It is a service that is integrated into Garatzen Tolosaldea, local development agency founded in 1994 and who is currently managed. In the beginning, Tolosaldea Tour was located in the offices of the Association for Rural Development Tolosaldea, better known as Tolomendi, but because the work of the association was directed primarily to rural development in the area and the area of ​​the mountain or hiking, we created a different office in order to cover more areas, as well as rural.

Since then, very quickly, started to develop tourism in the region and exploit the public image that was projected on Tolosaldea.

As stated in Ilarregi Olatz, head of the Tourism Tolosaldea Garatzen, the main objective of the tourism office and the entity in general is to provide the best possible service to visitors and provide tourist information as possible on the region to anyone tourist or passerby who came to Toulouse and its surroundings. “For tourists to know more closely and in detail our history throughout the year we offer guided tours of the Old Town and different strategic points of the villa. However, Toulouse is not our only reason for promotion, we also propose excursions to different towns and mountains of Tolosaldea. We also develop and carry out new tourism products and promote them to visitors, “adds Ilarregi Olatz.

The tourism balance held in the first half of the year has been positive, and that is Tolosaldea has grown from 4437 visitors in 2010 to 10,416 visitors during the same period in 2011.

Of that total, much has been heard at the point information on Larraitz ITZALA Txindokiko, but the number of tourists has also grown considerably in Toulouse, this year 1,842 people have come over, which means an increase of 18% compared to 2010. According Ilarregi says, the reasons for this are due to Toulouse has remained “alive” throughout the year.

The carnivals, exhibitions have been held in the Palace Aramburu, Karakol Saltsa program at Easter, the International Garden Festival, museums and Gorrotxategi Topic and the weekly market, along with other activities and programs, make Tolosa an increasingly attractive destination for visitors.

The most notable increase (35%) has been that of Gipuzkoa who come to spend the day in the region, followed by the rest of the territories of the BAC, which account for 22%. Tourists have risen markedly in the state but foreigners have been maintained. Statewide, the Catalan and Madrid remain the most loyal visitors, while internationally the most tourists come from France, the United States and England.

As for the prospects for this summer, the tourism office hopes to increase the number of visitors but their main challenge is to attract more tourists from Spain and abroad, so that impact on the occupation of the accommodation.
To this end, plans to offer a variety of proposals so that the visitors extended their stay in the region and increase the consumption of services, especially catering.

Comprehensive service
In addition to the central office, Tolosaldea Tour has different information points in holiday season, a kind of stand in the center of the square and another in Larraitz Triangle, under Mount Txindoki. The latter has become the focal point of active tourism in nature and family.

As for the service, according to the charge during the year are three people who are engaged in office work, but in times when the movement of tourists is higher extending the template to provide better care.

Although the National Tourism Organization of Japan failed to reach the target of ten million visitors in 2010, today we know that China broke its record of tourists during the past year, with 8.6 million visits tourists from around the world, who came to see the wonders of Japan’s culture.

The main factors that have allowed the Japanese tourism increased by 26.8 percent, compared with figures for 2009 have been, above all, the beginning of economic recovery after the stake of the crisis and opening to international flights from Haneda Airport in Tokyo, which lies near the center of Japan’s capital than other airports such as Narita.

It is the largest increase recorded by Japanese tourists in the last half century, after rising 40 per cent of visitors in 1970, coinciding with the celebration of the Osaka Expo.

Of all visits recorded, 70 percent are attributed to Asian tourists, from that order, of South Korea, China and Taiwan. France is the European country from which most tourists traveled to Japan in 2010.

North Beach Lombok
The next day I left Ubud Senggigi towards the neighboring island of Lombok. Instead of public transport, this time I opted for the tourist services offered by the company Seram.
Seram’s office is located south of Monkey Forest Road and the ticket to Sengiggi including 4-hour ferry left me for 150.000 rupiah.
It was really much more comfortable to carry the ticket in hand as this way you avoid having to find different means of transport every time you finish a stage: from Ubud to Padangbai of Padangbai to Lumbar Lembar and finally to Singing. In addition to this so I made new friends with other travelers.

Sunset Beach Sengiggi
Sengiggi beach is dark sand and the water is hot. Coconut trees looming on the beach as the boats of the fishermen. The beach is frequented by locals as the children of the city of Mataram. We saw tourists in our area, only in the center of town where restaurants abound with local and western food and live music.

Once in the car we drove north of Lombok. The aim of the day was to reach the waterfall and return Semaru slowly stopping at other waterfalls on the road and visiting the beaches north of Sira Bangsal village where boats depart towards the Gili islands.
The road north of Sengiggi follows the coast with constant ups and downs. In more than a bend have phenomenal views of the Gili islands as well as some Sengiggi Creek.
The beaches I saw in Lombok, from Sengiggi to Semaru-are nice but not spectacular. The palm trees that stretch to the beach is dark probably due to the effects of the volcano Gunung Baru. The water is clean but does not reach the turquoise can be seen in the south of Bali or in the Gili islands. However, they are precious and make Sengiggi a good place to rest for a couple of nights.
We arrived at Senaru waterfalls where there is a parking, a small souvenir shop and a few guides willing to take you into the jungle to teach other falls further inland. Cover charge goes to 5.000 rupees. Once you have a ticket waiting for you a short 10 minute walk down a escalaeras up to the foot of a cascade double jump of 40 feet. It is beautiful but if you go during the dry season is probably not worthwhile.
