London's go-anywhere Oyster travel card is to be made available to overseas tourists before they leave home in a bid to boost inbound UK tourism, it was announced today.

Overseas tourists will be able to buy and receive the electronic smartcard, which offers significant savings on the capital's public transport network, before they travel thanks to a partnership between Transport for London (TfL) and the VisitBritain tourism organisation.

Initially the cards will go on sale in India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, Portugal and the US, followed by the rest of VisitBritain's online shops by March 2007.

The Bahamas Are Serious About Romance!

Ahhhhh...romance!

The Bahamas' Ministry of Tourism has what is believed to be a first not only for that area but perhaps anywhere in North America: a director of romance.

Newly appointed Freda Madrisotti will provide a link between hotels, resorts, facilities, vendors and suppliers to help provide any type of romantic occasion.

"Each of our islands presents an array of romantic alternatives and in this new position Madrisotti will provide a seamless connection among our partners," said Vernice Walkine, director-general, Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.

Among other duties, she will promote romance-specific hotel packages in the Bahamas and "serve as the gatekeeper to all things romantic," according to the tourism office.
