My evaluation on this assignment is these assignments help me to know more the other interesting tourism places in around the world. Other than that, this task also will contribute me to search more tourism places not only in Malaysia but also infamous places and never heard before. So, my conclusion is I learned more through these assignment to become good tourism student in industries.

1. SANTORINI, GREECE.

                                                  Santorini  Hotel" Lost Atlantis"

The island of Santorini is probably the most intriguing island of Greece. Simply its name is more than enough to unfold in mind stunning sunsets and scenery, white, red and black sand beaches, impressive traditional houses, balconies with view to the Volcano and and lively night life. All the above, along with the remains of the antiquity and the myth of the Lost Atlantis justify the words which the tourists determine this wonderful island.

The fame of the Santorini Caldera View is based on the 85 meter (300 feet) high cliff that many of the island's villages are built to perch on top of, offering a sea view as far as the eye can see. The cliff is the wall of the submerged volcano crater caused by the cataclysmic eruption of this volcano around 3000 BC. In addition to creating the best views of the Aegean Sea for present day visitors to enjoy, this eruption also caused the demise of the Minoan civilization. 

Steeped in history, Santorini has plenty of archaeological sites to visit including the ruins of Ancient Thira, Akrotiri and the Venetian fortress at Pirgos.

Santorini also offers unique accommodation, inspired by the distinct Santorinian-style, and on the south side of the island there are beautiful beaches with many beach sports and activities available. On the highest peak of Santorini is a monastery of the Prophet Elijah (Profitis Ilias), where there is a picturesque religious feast on 20 July each year. 

2. KILIMANJARO, TANZANIA.

National Park, Kilimanjaro.

 

While Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the world’s largest topographical features, none of the six routes requires any technical skills or specialist equipment to climb, (though for Western Breach climbers we recommend that some supplementary equipment be considered). And although the height gained from the different start points to Kilimanjaro’s peak at 5,895m is around 15% greater than from Mount Everest’s southern Base Camp to its summit, climbing Kilimanjaro does not require the use of slow and arduous Himalayan-style siege tactics, or of supplemental oxygen.

For those as yet entirely unacquainted with the mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro is a volcano situated quite close to where Africa’s three main tectonic plates meet. For perhaps distantly historical reasons, there remains a widespread misconception that Kilimanjaro is either in Kenya or at least straddles the Kenyan-Tanzanian border. This is not true, however, as the mountain sits entirely within Tanzania and is managed by the Tanzania National Park Authority, through the local administration of the Kilimanjaro National Park Authority.

3. MALACCA, MALAYSIA.

Malacca,Mother of Malaysia History.

                                                                Istana Malacca Museum

Present-day Malacca reflects its tumultuous history - a multy-racial population of Malays, Indians, and Chinese call this historic city home. Most notably, Peranakan and Portuguese communities still thrive in Malacca, a reminder of the state's long experience with trading and colonization start from Portugese, Deutch, British and Japanesse.

Malacca's founder, the ex-pirate Prince Parameswara, was said to be a descendant of Alexander the Great, but it's more likely that he was a Hindu political refugee from Sumatra.

According to legend, the Prince was resting one day under an Indian gooseberry tree (also known as a malacca). As he watched one of his hunting dogs trying to bring down a mouse deer, it occurred to him that the deer shared a similar plight to his own: alone, exiled in a foreign land and surrounded by enemies. The mouse deer then achieved the improbable and fought off the dog. 

 Parameswara decided that the place where he was sitting was a propitious one for the disadvantaged to triumph, so decided to build a house on the spot.

Malacca did indeed turn out to be a favorable place to found a town, due to its sheltered harbor, its abundant water supply and its prime location relative to the regional trade and monsoon wind patterns. 

That was a short story of Malacca and at there have many of story and history happen at Malacca. Malacca also can we call as old Malaysian version compare to now, without Malacca nowadays maybe Malaysian as not much as now. 

4. PHUKET, THAILAND.

Phuket, "The Pearl of the Southern Thailand".

Phuket, known as "The pearl of the south", is one of Thailand's most popular tourist destinations, attracting visitors from both Thailand and overseas.There are numerous beaches along its coast.

 

Phuket, the pearl of Andaman, never fails to make a lasting impression on its visitors with the perfect natural beauty and all the conveniences for those who truly seek a quite rest. This impressive surrounding is easily accessible either by road, air or ferry.  

  

The fresh breeze, pleasant sunlight and fine white beach that stretches to meet the emerald sea continues to welcome the rolling waves, the scenery that awakes any sleepy spirit before the sky in the horizon gives way to the gentleness of twilight, freshness and tranquility to take place right here.

Phuket is an island of truly international cuisine, every type of cuisine is represented. Common are Scandinavian, Mediterranean, Seafood and Japanese restaurants to name a few.

 

A popular swimming beach and yacht anchorage during the dry season. The beach is fine, but big waves strike it during the wet season, making swimming dangerous. Regular bus service to and from Phuket town during daytime. Nai Han is just north of Phrom Thep Cape.

From this point can be seen the bays of Kata Noi, Kata and Karon, and also Poo Island. It is one of the island's best views. A large public sala, or shelter is there for visitors, and several vendors sell food, drinks, and souvenirs in the area when the weather is nice. The viewpoint is between Kata and Nai Han Beach.

Patong Beach is Phuket's central tourist and night time entertainment district. Over the years, Patong has turned from a fishing village into one of the island's two cities. The famous bay and 4 km. beach is know as a centre of entertainment with restaurants catering to every nationality. Live music can be found in most pubs and bars. Accommodations range from budget to five-star. Shopping opportunities appear to be endless. In addition, there are many tour companies waiting to help visitors plan their vacations. 

5. PETRA, JORDAN.

"Petra,Lost City in Jordan"

 

The giant red mountains and vast mausoleums of a departed race have nothing in common with modern civilization, and ask nothing of it except to be appreciated at their true value as one of the greatest wonders ever wrought by Nature and Man.

Although much has been written about Petra, nothing really prepares you for this amazing place. It has to be seen to be believed. Petra is sometimes called the ‘Lost City’. In 1985, UNESCO designated Petra were designated as World Heritage Sites. 

 Petra, the world wonder, is without a doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction. It is a vast, unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2000 years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome.

Entrance to the city is through the Siq, a narrow gorge, over 1km in length, which is flanked on either side by soaring, 80m high cliffs. Just walking through the Siq is an experience in itself. The colours and formations of the rocks are dazzling. As you reach the end of the Siq you will catch your first glimpse of Al-Khazneh (Treasury).

 

This is an awe-inspiring experience. A massive facade, 30m wide and 43m high, carved out of the sheer, dusky pink rock-face and dwarfing everything around it. It was carved in the early 1^st century as the tomb of an important Nabataean king and represents the engineering genius of these ancient people.
