India is the best destenation of Asia
India, Vietnam and Cuba are emerging as the favored destinations for upscale travelers, according to a new report. Rounding out the top emerging-destination are the Galapagos Islands, China and Chile. The 2010 Virtuoso Luxe Report, released on March 8, was compiled using feedback from a network of travel providers and advisors and reflects booking trends. The India Experience The impetus to travel to India comes as much from its booming economy - back to a high growth trajectory after having taken the worldwide recession in its stride - as the mystic charm of its ancient civilization. India isn’t perceived to be in the safest corner of the world, which can be a dampener for those who don’t realize it’s a vibrant democracy where the rule of the law is as much a fact of life as the widespread corruption in government offices. India presents a unique experience for traveler because of its diversity - the people, culture, and language changes every 100 kilometers - bringing a varied experience not felt or seen anywhere else in the world. The diversity will engage the traveler as well as startle her into incredulity.

A 360 degree view
A year ago, A. Suresh Babu set out with nothing more than a camera in hand and the seed of an idea, to gorgeous old temples and monuments such as the Kailasanathar Kovil in Kanchipuram and the Thirumalai Nayakar Mahal in Madurai.
The exhaustive sets of photographs he took there were transformed into beautifully-lit, intricately-detailed virtual tours of ancient architectural structures on www.view360.in.
And, when Tourism Secretary V. Irai Anbu saw the website, Suresh was quickly commissioned to do a similar series on various tourist locations in the State.
A variety of places
Today, www.view360.in provides virtual tours of 22 tourist spots from Ooty and Kodaikanal to Topslip and Valparai for Tamil Nadu Tourism, and has had over 2.5 lakh hits from nearly 150 countries around the world in the last six months.
