Lifetree Adventures, a Christian travel operator based in Loveland, Colorado, recently launched tours to meet the growing demand for Christian travel, and is the first of its kind to offer Voluntourism specifically from a Christian approach.
Loveland, CO, August 27, 2008 (PRAvenueNW) -- Voluntourism, the growing trend of travelers seeking vacation options combining tourism with volunteer service, just got a spiritual shot in the arm. Lifetree Adventures, a Christian travel operator based in Loveland, Colorado, recently launched tours to meet the growing demand for Christian travel, and is the first of its kind to offer Voluntourism specifically from a Christian approach.
“Every Lifetree Adventure has two key components: adventure activities and Christian service projects—packaged into one amazing trip,” remarked Joel Fay, Lifetree President, “so you might find yourself exhilarated by thrilling zip-lines in the jungles of Costa Rica, and then take that passion and apply it to fixing dilapidated housing for young children and their families.”
Each of Lifetree’s adventures include three and four star hotel accommodations, touring national landmarks, free time, service days, many meals and meeting new friends—likeminded travelers, and indigenous people who need help. Christian travelers can help build a church, lead a Bible study, play games with disadvantaged children even help feed whole neighborhoods all while enjoying the vacation of a lifetime.
With tours operating in the fall of 2008, Christian travel participants can discover the excitement of exotic destinations while serving the needs of indigenous people through eight trips to four Latin American countries: Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala and Peru. For 2009, Lifetree has added Vanuatu, Alaska, Mazatlan, Kenya, Tanzania, Australia, Israel and Egypt as destinations.

European High Speed Rail
They are the most sophisticated forms of rail transport in the world. Eurostar, French TGV, TGV Lyria, ICE, Thalys are redefining the European rail travel experience with their cutting edge style, comfort, speed and design.
What better way to travel between countries and cities than in the comfort zone of the Eurostar or French TGV as the ever-changing European landscape flits passed your window; it is an incredible experience in itself and a memorable part of anyone's journey.
High speed rail is the most obvious choice for travel in Europe. For journeys within 4 hours length, European trains have the market share of over 70%.
You can sit back in style with a glass of wine and enticing meal and enjoy the scenery as you head to some of Europe's most exciting destinations from the French to the Italian Riviera, Venice, Switzerland, and the UK; as well as other exciting destinations through central, eastern and Northern Europe.
These trains are streamlined, extremely comfortable, safe and fast; they can get you across all corners of Europe in style and at incredible speeds.
WiFi technology is fast becoming standard across Europe's High Speed Rail Network so it is definitely transport designed for 21st century travel; you can key into your lap top, answer emails and send messages, you are never out of touch.
Travelers are taking to the sophisticated, high speed trains of Europe with a vengeance. Rail Europe has chalked up $40 million in sales from this market in 2007 alone 22 per cent of its total annual worldwide turnover.
Rail has always been popular and seen as good value for money but in recent years we have seen phenomenal year on year growth, especially travelers who seek travel solutions that are safe, efficient, comfortable and increasingly carbon neutral.
High Speed Rail (HSR) has grown at a lightening pace in recent years and shows no signs of stopping. 2007 was a ground-breaking year with Eurostar launching HSR all the way from London to Paris, TGV launching 300km of new HSR tracks linking up longest land tunnel the Lotschberg Tunnel drastically reducing travel times between Italy and Switzerland.
In 2008 high speed rail between Madrid and Barcelona opened in March - with a lot more high speed rail developments expected later this year and into 2009.
The choice of rail passes available is also extensive and growing every year. Apart from the popular Eurail Global Pass which can encompass up to 18 different countries, there are the Britrail passes, France Rail Pass, Swiss Pass, Austria Czech Republic Pass, Greece-Italy Pass, Austria-Croatia/Slovenia Pass, European East Pass and Balkan Flexipass a choice of over 40 regional, national and multi-national passes in all.

Newly Renovated Grand Hotel Moderne in Lourdes Offers Limited Special Group Rates
SPECIAL OFFER
THE COMPLETELY RENOVATED HISTORIC FOUR-STAR HOTEL OFFERS SPECIAL GROUP RATES FROM OCTOBER 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 14, 2008
LOURDES, France (August 29, 2008) – To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the apparitions in Lourdes, the city’s most historic hotel completed its extensive renovations and reopened to its original splendor in June 2008. The hotel will close for the winter on December 14, 2008 and open for the Spring in February 1, 2009.
Built in 1896 by Benoîte and Jean Soubirous, St. Bernadette’s brother, the Grand Hotel Moderne is a splendid example of late XIXth century architecture that will offer all modern day comfort in the fantastic “Art Nouveau” ambience designed by Louis Majorelle. The exceptional architecture of the hotel makes it a masterpiece of Lourdes heritage.
The Grand Hôtel Moderne combines charm, elegance, and comfort in the heart of Lourdes. Located within a minute walk of the shrine grounds, the hotel offers easy access to the Grotto and the tourist sites of the city: native house of Bernadette Soubirous, basilicas, fortified castle and museums. The five-story building with its 106 rooms was entirely renovated and reopened in June 2008. The interior retains its warmth and prestige with wooden floors, wall paneling, circular staircase, marble pillars, and antique furniture. All rooms are spacious, decorated with a great sense of taste (fashionable furniture, bathroom luxuriously appointed in Italian marble and white porcelain), and offer a very high level of comfort (individual heating/cooling controls, high quality bed linen, noise isolation) and safety.
“The Grand Hotel Moderne is the number one hotel I would recommend for every tour operator in North America. With its four-star ambiance, facilities, and cuisine, combined with its “across the street” proximity to the Lourdes shrine, the hotel serves as the perfect venue for the discerning American traveler. As a tour leader myself, the Grand Hotel Moderne is where I’ll take my groups.” – Kevin J. Wright, Author & WRTA President
