Why should I be visiting your home town/region ?

There are thousands of destinies arround the world, however, only a few are usually promoted by the travel agencies and/or ariline companies. Now, there are people from all over the planet here on ATS that may live in places most never heard about before.

It happens that most of these places have beautiful natural spots, monuments, hotels, restaurants and all kind of curiosities that have never been promoted by any travel agency.

So, what I propose here is we "sell" each other reasons why we should visit other members home town/place. Talk about it, tell us a bit of its history, clima,....post a picture(s) a vídeo(s).....

I`ll start with my home city - P. Varzim, Portugal

Ok, we have a nice beach, a Casino, a very nice clima during all year, good restaurants, sports facilities and a lot more. This used to be a fisherman village and still is but people also dedicate themselves to agriculture and tourism.

....And I bet no one of you have heard of this place before, right ?

Here is a vídeo...

I'd love to contribute, unfortunately my home town is located in the middle of nowhere Canada. There used to be a bar there, but it burnt down about 13 years ago. There was this woman named Fluffy who used to frequent the bar, she'd take out her dentures for you...

LOL, I`m even more interested in visiting your region now. Besides, I love the desert ....any pictures you`d like to share ?

Wow you have me sold too. What a beautiful place to live.

reply to post by CosmicDude


We got nothing here except nice beaches with clean water, reasonable prices, lots of trees and wildlife, and snowmobile trails. Nothing that anyone would say is great, they want extravagance, there isn't much here.

Don't come up here to change this wilderness. If you want to come camping, that is a different story.

reply to post by dollukka


Shhhh. Don't tell anyone about your paradise. They will come and bulldoze it all up and build million dollar homes and make your taxes go up.

Stay away from this town at all costs, you will be stabbed by a foreigner.

What town is it ? ...Please tell otherwise people might go there without knowing !

reply to post by FlyersFan


That is cool, but I consider Philadelphia a major city making it a main destiny, so would you tell us about other spots and curiosities in Philadelphia that are not in the main touristic routes ?

reply to post by Thurisaz


That`s the kind of place I like. Thanks for sharing ....Would love to visit it some day.
