Look at the menu, you will see ‘pages’ of travel tips, strategies and ideas for places all over the world. The pages are in alphabetical order by country. Regions, cities or significant places within the country may also have its own pages.
Each page is set-up to give you a quick overview first, followed by some details.
Since the purpose of Ready Entrepreneur Travel is to provide you with a ‘brief’ about the location to understand how the locals may fit into your global business strategy, we also direct you to other recommended sites that may have more detailed information about your destination including suggestion for accommodation, restaurants and tour guides.
In every destination, we expect to find: the ability to communicate, hotels, restaurants, transportation, and posted prices/times at tourist sites. If these standard travel infrastructure items are not in place (ie. no wi-fi in the whole country), we will point it out.
On each page, you will find:
Description: From Case Lane’s fiction and non-fiction books which are set all over the world, the descriptions of destinations will help set the background tone for your research.
Last visited: The last time Case Lane was in this location, if known.
Rating system:
Original sites
High: means the destination has more than three days worth of unique sites to visit.
Medium: means you can probably see the important sites in less than three days
Low: means you can walk around in a day
Must see: just a reminder if there is a spectacular site to check out based on our definition of spectacular meaning the ‘thing’ does not exist anywhere else
Familiarity
We firmly believe that today’s aspiring entrepreneurs participate in a unified global market. Many global brands exist in every city in the world, and the look and feel of restaurants, stores, clubs, and hotels is the same. For general tourism, this is a comfort, but we always suggest getting off the beaten track.
High: you will not be surprised by the look and feel of the location as you move around
Medium: some infrastructure, common practices or other differences may surprise you
Low: this is really a different place unlike many others in the world
English usage
English is the lingua franca of global travelers. Tour guides learn to speak the language, as do locals hoping to earn extra dollars, and euros, every day. These designations do not apply to people who work directly in the tourist industry, but to those you may wish to speak to in the streets
High: you hear English in the street even if not directed at you or other tourists
Medium: you can approach people in English and usually find an English speaker by the tenth person you ask
Low: few locals speak English
Surprise
One thing about the destination that was unexpected and quite joyful
