Book late, hoping economy sells-out early, and only business class seats remain. This common ploy usually fails if company policy requires an advance notice period.

Even if you can't get your preferred flight upgrade, a 5 * hotel will help soothe your disappointment. Although travel managers carefully monitor air travel and car hire, they're less likely to have local hotel knowledge. You can find yourself in a far superior hotel than company policy really allows.

Your company may run a strict travel policy. But inefficient systems prevent them actually detecting your abuse. Try to find out how your company checks its business travel. Does travel agent provide reports ? Are you forced to use a corporate card that itemizes all your expenses ? Even if they do, not all companies actually analyze data. Search for chinks in your companies travel policy armour.

Finally, if all else fails, get promotion ! Yes, if you get a senior management position you can ignore your own rules. Or you might finally be entitled to standard of travel you feel appropriate to you.

Using these six ways, and any others you can think of, every business trip soon becomes a luxury you can look forward to.

This idea of organized tour soon expanded to encompass rest of world. Large collections and arrangements of those searching for exotic (foreign ladies of Asian mystery, Greek hunks with slippery voices), those who like to shop or undergo warp speed adventures that normal humans run miles to avoid became popular. New centers of fascination sprung up where swamps used to be, uninhabited Islands suddenly became pearls of orient and hotel chains pre-empted all with hurriedly built square boxes and fish and chip restaurants whilst Tenants or Guinness rapidly overtook local drink as that most consumed.

More recently organized tour has paled……… there are still many available, more choices than ever before and millions of tourists return home irate or emotionally drained but more travel makers are opting for cheap tickets and un-organized tours. Families are now traveling at rock-bottom prices to far-flung destinations with nothing but guarantee of hotel room at other end. Recently wed couples, professional couples or just plain old couples travel lightly to Islands, to find sun and romance, fathers and mothers take children on trips that span world for educational purposes and single men search for love with money. Shopping paradises reward those with cash to spend, beaches get professionally cleaned during nights and ready for mornings influx of crazed sun addicts and bungee ropes get worn out.

And now! Money can be spent, plans intricately arranged and preparations detailed to minute but still dream of an impending holiday tends to surpass end result.

As I sit on my rickety little wooden sun lounger …….. watching incy bit of sun that has managed to force its way through dense cloud above shine on still waters of Channel. As I sit watching Ferris wheel spin with its one customer and as I sit here sucking happily on my stick of Blackpool Rock I wander why anybody would want to go so far to get so little. Why would anybody want to spend so much money to travel so far away when right on their doorstep is perfect answer?

One day, all these tourists and tours will return. One day places like Alton Towers, Brighton beach, Portobello and Yorkshire dales will become dreams of holidaymakers and I will have to pack my bags and travel far and wide to find peace and tranquility (albeit with a shiver) that old British holiday towns now have. One day cleaners of British beaches will have to cope with piles of discarded coke cans, dropped crisp packets and broken glass bottles: one day they will have to fight to see sand beneath. And one day in future I will be able to travel to Thailand and not find an empty coke can on beach, I will be able to walk in Himalayas without tripping over discarded crisp packets and one day I will not see broken glass bottles in Wild Life sanctuaries of Africa.

One day when tourists come to their senses and see value of their own country I will have to leave. But until that time I will sit here under my umbrella that is ready for sun should it appear and enjoy peace and tranquility of my surrounds.
