Whois & Analysis for budgetplaces.com

Budgetplaces is an online travel agency (OTA) which offers low-cost accommodation.

As of April 2012, Budgetplaces was working with over 10,000 budget hotels, hostels, bed-and-breakfasts and apartments in more than 100 countries worldwide.

A bed and breakfast (typically shortened to B&B) is a small lodging establishment that offers overnight accommodation and breakfast.

Bed and breakfasts are often private family homes and typically have between four and eleven rooms, with six being the average.

A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis.

Facilities provided may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites with bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a fridge and other kitchen facilities, upholstered chairs, a flatscreen television and en-suite bathrooms.

Small, lower-priced hotels may offer only the most basic guest services and facilities.

Larger, higher-priced hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, business centre (with computers, printers and other office equipment), childcare, conference and event facilities, tennis or basketball courts, gymnasium, restaurants, day spa and social function services.

Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&Bs) to allow guests to identify their room.

Some boutique, high-end hotels have custom decorated rooms.

Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement.

In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours.

In Japan, capsule hotels provide a tiny room suitable only for sleeping and shared bathroom facilities.

Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.

Tourism may be international, or within the traveller's country.

The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".

Hostêls provide budget-oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, usually a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen.

Rooms can be mixed or single-sex, and private rooms may also be available.
