RealAdventures.com launches an online travel resource

BOSTON, May 26, 2000 /PRNewswire/ -- RealAdventures.com, an on-line guide to travel, adventures and accommodations will launch its new website on June 15, 2000. The website helps travelers find the perfect weekend getaway, relaxing vacation or once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Whether you want to work on your tan, practice your golf swing, test your mountain biking skills or see the sights from a hot-air balloon, RealAdventures.com is the perfect place to start your trip.

What makes RealAdventures truly unique is CEO Vik Kachoria's goal of building a comprehensive international travel website which in his words,"consolidates the wide range of travel experiences that people are interested in into one on-line travel community." Rather than using one site for local Bed & Breakfasts, another site for ski resorts and another for safaris, RealAdventures offers a one-stop travel resource.

In a colorful, descriptive and inspiring format, the RealAdventures search engine can suggest a number of great ideas for your next vacation. The pages are updated every day with fresh new ideas and possibilities to tickle the travel bug in you. If you already know exactly where you want to go or what you want to do, just make a few selections and press go. Instantly you will see hundreds of listings that match your travel plans.

Listings include a complete description of services and a number of pictures so you can get an idea of what to expect. RealAdventures has created partnerships with Weather Underground and Mapquest.com to provide travelers with weather forecasts and local maps of the areas they want to explore. The site also provides a currency converter for international travel to give you an idea of how far your dollar will go. In addition, all of the photographs on the site can be sent as an e-postcard (e-mail) to your friends or travel companions to entice them to join you on your next adventure.

RealAdventures caters to all types of travelers. Budget conscious travelers can find hundreds of youth hostels and budget motels and hotels. Young professionals can find weekend excursions to exotic locales and older individuals can plan their next family vacation on RealAdventures. All travelers can share their experiences through travel forums and travel stories included in the site.

RealAdventures has received several compliments recently for their travel services:

"Just a short note to thank you for creating one of the most beautiful and useful travel sites we have found on the web. Best wishes and continued success to you and your team!" - Webmaster, Rio Caliente Hot Springs Eco Spa Resort
