Web TV Shows and Internet Channels related to travel and holidays
Celebrities love Barack Obama, young Americans love Barack Obama, and now it seems even the Japanese love Barack Obama. At least the ones living in a little town called Obama do!
I know it’s a day late, but this video is just too remarkable to pass up. You won’t believe how many natural and man-made hearts there are that can be seen on Google Maps.
I guess love really is “all around”.
I know a few daredevils, but none would probably ever jump into this “swimming pool”. There are no rails and even a slight wrong step would send someone plummeting 300 feet to their death.
At least one person dies from this thrill each year.
TravelZoo.com is one of the longest running websites around when it comes to finding holidaymakers the best deals, with over 11 million subscribers worldwide.
One of its most popular services is the TravelZoo Top 20 list, a definitive low down of the week’s best value getaways from all over the internet.
Concierge.com, the site that dubs itself as the place to find ‘inspired travel’ has launched 57 new online video ‘Insider Guides’ to hotels, restaurants, nightlife and shops in some of the world’s biggest cities.

From the Great Wall of China, to the Egyptian Tombs, to the Mayan Ruins, thousands of people have followed Matt Harding around the world through this interesting version of a vacation slideshow.
Matt Harding has a quirky and innocent dance that he’s done since he was a little boy. He breaks out in this funky dance whenever he is feeling really happy, and he says it is the best he can do.
What started out as a video montage of his around the world trip (where he visited 15 countries and where he added a sprinkle of his dance and a dash of music to his home videos) has become quite the video in demand! It was initially loaded on his website for his friends to follow him on his ventures, called, of course, whereinthehellismatt.com.
When I arrived at BritainsBestBreaks I thought I had taken a step back into 1999 since the design of the website is pretty dismal to say the least. However, I quickly found myself watching a video about Plymouth, which to my surprise was a professional 30 minute travel documentary.
The snippety quick YouTube video mentality often leaves most people jumping from short video to short video when they are browsing around the web. This is great for casual entertainment but when you want some solid information an informative lengthy video is what you want.
I just stumbled across HotelView, the world’s largest travel and tourism video library distribution network.
The site is packed with videos of various hotels from around the world. All the hotels in the library can be found by clicking on a world map to home in on your holiday destination.
While the site is packed with hotel videos it will only have a small sample from each destination. For example it only lists one hotel in Majorca where in fact Majorca is flooded with hotels. Here are just a few samples of all the hotels in Magaluf, Majorca.
If you are planning on visiting Philadelphia then there is a new internet TV series that you should be watching called Cheap Dates. The show is being shown on Philebrity.TV and follows couples with $50 on a day out in Philadelphia.
