ThereArePlaces ® is an independently owned  website focused on providing information about international travel.   Our goal is to help our readers find the best  destinations for travel and to provide travel planning advice that might help make your next vacation a relaxing, exciting and enjoyable experience.   We are dedicated to enhancing the content of ThereArePlaces® in an attempt to make our site your preferred supplier of travel information.

We created ThereArePlaces® to provide you with independent advice related to travel and tourism. Our goal is to help make the next trip you take one of your best vacations ever. We are not a travel agency, nor does our advice and information represent companies serving the travel industry, or the tourist board of any country.

We are not concerned with how you choose to travel (for example, class of service or quality of hotel), as these are decisions that you should make based on your tastes, preferences, and budget. We are interested in helping you to select destinations that will maximize the satisfaction your vacation brings you.  In addition, we hope that we can provide advice that might  help you plan your travel in a manner that minimize  potential inconveniences. 

Our site's coverage of destinations and travel planning should not be considered evidence that we want to evolve into a travel guide publisher or evoke comparisons with printed travel guides.  We see the road ahead from a slightly different perspective.   In today's world, most would-be vacationers do not have the time or patience to read a 500 page travel guide, examine books  on travel planning, and  find travel articles scattered across newspapers, magazines and the Internet in preparation for our vacations.   We believe that at our site is well positioned to become the place you look when you want to know where to vacation or have questions about travel-related information.

Our website provides concise, useful information that can help you  plan a great vacation in a process that does not require days of searching the Internet.  If you want to buy a guide book and do more research after using our information to help you shape your next vacation - we think that's great.  If you use ThereArePlaces® to research and plan your trip and think that you are ready to make reservations, online or otherwise without additional research - that's great too! Our goal is to help you travel the world and enjoy it.

ThereArePlaces® is available on the Web,  the BlackBerry® family of wireless communication devices, and on the SONY® PlayStation Portable (PSP) through  a version of the site formatted for its web browser.
