It's time to finish the contest for travel to Madagascar organised by Viajes Tuareg jointly with Turkish Airlines. The moment of truth has arrived: one of our participants will need to start packing to fly to the Great Red Island in fifteen days. Before announcing the winner and bringing the competition to a close, let’s look back at the final stage on the road to Madagascar.
The well-known Texas cinema in Barcelona’s Gràcia neighbourhood is collaborating with Viajes Tuareg. From now on, and for a few months, all cinema audiences will be able to see a great advert for our travel agency before the film at each of its screens.
The date of departure is approaching to Madagascar And so we move on to the next stage of our competition. #MadagascarConTuareg and sadly we have to say goodbye to some of the finalists.
In the third challenge to choose the female blogger who would join the Madagascar expedition, we asked all the entrants to show just how essential travel is to them. This stage in the contest to select the winner was therefore called Travelling Passion. In many ways they have expressed this in their publications.
If you're thinking of a trip to the United States you should know about some important changes to the requirements for obtaining an entry visa to the United States. Perhaps the most significant concerns people who have recently travelled (from 2011 onwards) to the countries of Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan or Syria will no longer be eligible for the visa waiver programme known as Visa Waiver Program.
We continue with the competition #MadagascarConTuareg in which we will select an intrepid female blogger to go on an incredible trip to Madagascar with Viajes Tuareg and support of Turkish Airlines. After the first stage, the contestants explain on their blogs how the prospect of a trip to Africa’s largest island makes them feel. Their accounts are full of information about Madagascar, but above all they brim with emotion and unfulfilled curiosity. Their eagerness to discover the Great Red Island and enjoy unforgettable experiences there is clear.
We want to join the celebration of the Women's Day with a simple tribute through photographs of women from all over the world. Working women, women who preserve traditions and rituals, women who care for their families, beautiful women, women who manage the household finances, daring women, women who travel… This tribute is for all of them.
In matriarchal societies men are very happy. This is what the interview headline says: Anna Boyé published by the Catalan newspaper Ara a few days ago. Anna has been studying and analysing this type of society around the world for some time and speaks from experience.
It is time to announce the 10 finalists chosen by the jury of the competition #MadagascarConTuareg has selected. First, though, all the participants deserve credit for sharing animal images, the task in the first of our challenges. The competition hashtag on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram has suddenly filled with dogs, horses, lemurs, butterflies, flamingos, gorillas and all kinds of creatures.
Entries closed on Monday, 22 February. Since the competition was announced, more than 30 people, many of them travel bloggers, have signed up to take part. We thank them all for giving us their time and talent on social media.
Recently we presented a selection of travel photographs made among all those received in our contest. Now comes the turn of the videos, and we want to present the three finalist pieces of the Viajes Tuareg Photography and Video Competition.
The videos cover three exciting trips to three beautiful countries: Thailand, Russia and Tanzania. Watch the three shortlisted entries, tell us what you think, vote and take part. Your opinion can help us decide who will win the prize of 1,500 euros!
Our photo contest Our travels continue, and we are ready to announce an initial selection of images going through to the next round: 100 great photographs taken in every corner of the planet.
We have to thank all participants. We've received over 800 photos! So we were not exaggerating when we said this initial selection was very difficult, both because of the number of entries and their quality.
We are travelling to Madagascar and looking for someone to share the day-to-day journey on social media. Would you like to be our travelling reporter?
We invite you to participate in #MadagascarConTuareg, a competition organised by Viajes Tuareg and Turkish Airlines in which the winner will travel to Africa's great Red Island for 13 days to discover the country's wonders first-hand and share their experiences.
Madagascar is a huge island separated from Africa by the Mozambique Channel. Its highlights include its wildlife and landscapes, the famous baobabs and an endless list of species found nowhere else. It is a dream destination for any traveller who loves nature and adventure.
The Madagascar trip the winner will enjoy lasts 13 days. On 29 April, we will fly with the airline Turkish Airlines from Barcelona to the capital Antananarivo.
The impossibility of covering Madagascar in a single trip leads us to focus on the following highlights of the destination:
Next week you will be able to find us in FITUR , the International Tourism Fair held in Madrid every year. Half the team heads to Madrid together to meet suppliers, customers, professional contacts and any friends who would like to stop by and say hello.
Unfortunately, it is no longer possible simply to spin a globe on its stand and, with your eyes closed, rest your index finger on it until it stops to decide our next destination. Wars, social conflicts of all kinds, disasters, dictators and dangers have driven chance away. The days of travelling with our eyes closed are over, if that was ever possible. Looking closely, there have always been places best avoided and threats facing travellers, in every era.
If you follow us often here in the Viajes Tuareg blog, or on our page Viajes Tuareg website you will already know that we regularly award 200 euros for some of the feedback our customers leave us. If you didn’t, here is how we reward these reviews of Viajes Tuareg in more detail, and explain how the feedback prize draw works.
The time has come to announce the winner of the twelfth prize draw for feedback collected through our Satisfaction survey after completing a trip.
We've talked about Viajes Tuareg Photography and Video Competition on other occasions: like proud parents, we always find a good excuse to bring it up in conversation. This time we want to show you some of the photographs arriving in our inbox to encourage you to take part. You probably already know how to submit your entries, the requirements and the competition rules. So let’s enjoy some of the images that, after an initial selection, we will present to the jury for the 2015 competition.
Last week we had the pleasure of attending the presentation of the International Tourism Communication Awards #PICOT2015 in Madrid. There we meet representatives, colleagues and personalities who lead the world of tourism and travel in Spain. Viajes Tuareg could not miss the event, especially its first edition.
An alternative way to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Toast the New Year in faraway lands and replace the traditional grapes with olives, nuts or whatever you can find along the way.
Even if just for once, we suggest 12 destinations, or in other words, 12 trips to leave the fading year behind and start a new one doing one of the things you enjoy most: travelling.
Look at the travel selection in small groups, with itineraries designed to spend Christmas and/or New Year’s Eve in truly special places.
Although there are still many trips to be made since September is a month full of opportunities, we are already beginning to get the results of Satisfaction surveys that we sent to each traveller who explored the world with us in July and August. We want to share some of their feedback and reviews of Viajes Tuareg they sent us with you.
Once again, we invite you to take part in the Viajes Tuareg Photography Competition. We know that many of you love travel with the camera at the ready, because you take great photos and we want to reward you. Don’t miss this new chance to share your creations and perhaps win a generous cash prize.
