Practical 8&9 - My Dream Holiday

I have chosen Venice as my dream holiday destination because it's a beautiful city, where streets are paved with water. Who wouldn't love such a beautiful place?

The multimedia website that showcases my dream holiday destination is ItalyGuides.

The 2 most important criteria are "Accuracy" and "Presentation and Arrangements".

Accuracy
The photos featured on the website are actual shots of the city. This website had been "talked about" by these various famous websites:

• BBC
• El Pais
• World Heritage Convention
• Yahoo! and many more.

Furthermore, ItalyGuides is part of the company ComPart Multimedia S.r.l. and can be contacted at this page.

Presentation and Arrangements
The website is well-organized with clear headings such as "Photo Gallery", "Hotel Reservations", "Contact Us", etc. The texts are in uniformed size, easy to read and professionally-written. There are also buttons to translate the website to either English or Italian. All in all, the website has good presentation and arrangements.

This is the Venice I visited in SecondLife. The destination place name is "Venice Passion". The place was filled with beautiful music, water and streets. Although it looked almost like Venice, it is not Venice. It will not satisfy our desire of traveling to our dream destination in real life. The atmosphere, the people, the festival, the sound of water, the air; virtual world is totally different from real life.
