  Navigating and Searching Globeescape.com
 
Globeescape.com is rapidly becoming the net’s biggest online travel resource, packed with useful information, guides and deals to guarantee the perfect trip.

To help you find the information and services that you require, we have endeavored to make Globeescape.com as user-friendly as possible. There are several ways to navigate Globeescape.com to find the information and services that you need. You can search by Destination, Service or use Globeescape.com’s special search facility.

Destinations
From the home page, click on the continent you want to visit to start your journey with Globeescape.com.

Select the destination you require from our most popular destination list, or click through to the state or country you require by navigating from the list of options provided. You can also click straight through to our most popular destinations for each travel service from the continent home page.

To look for a destination in a different continent, click the Home Page navigation link on the top left hand corner of the page.

From the destination home page that you have selected, you will be able to read local travel guides and travelogues and choose from a range of travel services including great holiday deals and hotel reviews. To select the service that you require for your chosen destination click on the travel service listed on the destination home page.

Globeescape.com has an ever expanding catalogue of over 2,500 guides to over a thousand destinations around the world, if you cannot find a guide or want to recommend a destination you think our travel writers should explore, do not hesitate to contact the editorial team.

Services
Globeescape.com is divided into six main sections covering the following services:
• Tours
• Hotels
• Holidays
• Car Rental
• Short Breaks
• Airports

In addition, we offer useful guides to a range of other travel services covering everything from winter sports to safari parks and spa vacation resorts.

To search for independent reviews, helpful information and unbeatable deals on a range of travel services, select the service that you require from our home page, and then select the destination you require either from our most popular destinations listed, or by selecting the continent and then country/state and city that you require.

Globeescape.com has a commitment to providing practical, useful information for all types of travellers, that’s why all our travel sections are fully interactive, enabling users to submit their own reviews of every travel consolidator that we list – so if you feel that a particular hotel was a let down, or that a holiday operator exceeded your expectations, let our users know and submit your reviews.

We rely on the submissions of our travel community to help our travellers make informed decisions on how they choose to spend their holiday.

Within the Hotel Travel Services section, users can organize their search by selecting the order of results by Star Rating, Hotel Name or User Rating by selecting the appropriate option on the left-hand side navigation of the hotel page.

To search for other services at a particular destination, click on the services listed on the right-hand navigation for the page.

Searching Globeescape
Alternatively, users can search directly for information and services within Globeescape.com by using our search facility. Enter the destination and/or service you require to bring up a list of pages covering the information that you require.

Search Tips: Globeescape.com’s search facility will search for only the terms that you enter, so if you are looking for accommodation in New York, you might search “New York” & “Hotel”, whereas, simply searching “New York” will bring up all our guides and services listed for New York.

The more precisely you describe the service or destination that you are looking for, the more accurate the results from your search should be.

For example, if you are looking for a Golf Vacation in Cape Town, the search terms “golf holiday Cape Town” will bring up golf holiday options in Cape Town, far more accurately than simply searching for “holiday South Africa”, which would bring up general results for all types of holidays in South Africa.

Within Globeescape.com, travellers can also search for destinations or services within the specific section. For example, from the Airport section, travellers can search for specific airports instantly using our search facility.

Globeescape Submissions

Submitting to Globeescape.com
Travelogues

To submit your travel stories, adventures and experiences, go to the Travelogues section and select the area of the world that your travelogue relates to most closely. At the bottom of the page you have selected you will find a submission box, where you can type or cut and paste (“ctrl” + “c” & “ctrl” + “v”) your travel writings. It is important that you also select the country or area of the world that your travelogue covers, as this is how your travelogue will be indexed.

You are also required to submit a Title for your writings which most accurately describes your experience. Try and make this as catchy as possible, as this will be the first thing people read to decide whether they want to read your travelogue.

Once submitted, your travelogue will be manually checked by one of our travel editors to ensure that it meets our submissions policy. Approved submissions usually go live within 48hrs of submission, and you will receive an email from one of our travel editors as confirmation that your site has gone live. Your travelogue will be listed within the destination section that you selected on your submission and will automatically be added to our most recent travelogue submissions section of the travelogue home page.

Hotels

To make your comments more meaningful for our other users, we request that you select your Age Group and Type of Traveller from the list or options provided. It is important to stress that this information will not be used for marketing purposes, but rather is intended as a means for our users to evaluate your review in relation to your particular background.

For example, the expectations of a young backpacker at a particular hotel may be radically different to that of a 50-something business man, and thus we feel such a qualification such be made self-evident to our users.

We request that restaurateurs, bar owners and so on do not abuse the Globeescape submissions facility by seeing our guides as opportunity for free listings.

Our travel team of travel editors manually check all submissions and are proactive in rejecting blatant attempts to manipulate the independent information that Globeescape.com aims to offers its community of traveller.
