How about a travel forum?

[petetherock]

Just a suggestion
The requests and discussions on travel tips are getting more and it is harder to find them if they are hidden amongst the regular kopitiam stuff.

How about a forum for people to exchange tips and info.

A lot of CS members travel to get good shots, so this should help a lot of people

Cheers

(I pm the mods, and they suggested I post this here)

I second this great idea. :thumbsup:

 

[petetherock]

Well right now there are already at least 3 threads on travel in kopitiam....

I think this is a good idea too, afterall alot of us who take photos also love to travel if we have the chance

 

[Xiao_shin]

Good suggestion. Maybe can combine with gathering and outing.

This gets my vote!

 

[petetherock]

My suggestion:

Divide things into -

- Asia with
China; Japan; ASEAN as one; other countries in Asia;

- Europe
Western; Eastern

- USA

- S America

- Australia / New Zealand

- Others

- a section on comercial stuff
eg group travel; for paid members to advertise their sales or tours; group outings; sale of packs and camera bags etc

- a special section on other tips
eg insurance, health regulations and warnings; visa issues; taxes

hows that?

I think PRC itself is already big for itself to be a forum. And I will be concentrate on just PRC for this year and coming year.

I guess the mods are not keen on this suggestion... should we try and get more response?

 

[gazkw]

ya a generic travel forum would do... no need the country separation as i believe search criteria limiting to just the forum would yield the necessary info.

I like the idea of a 'Travel' section too..... We could Ask or Give Advise on a certain country or Area of a country... about things to look out for (safety wise) and places of interest. :thumbsup:

Just a quick note to say that we are reviewing this. In the meantime, more votes and suggestions wouldn't hurt!

How about a section with sub areas on different regions
Then a commercial one once this catches on, for members and industry people who want to organise trips, sell tickets and airfares etc.

why not we come up with sub forums of countries frequently visited

such as japan, hong kong, the states etc etc

should be easier

great suggestion though

I think the commercial one better leave it out of CS as when come to money always lead to bad happening. :cry:

 

[petetherock]

Thanks precisely why we should seperate out the commercial aspect, so mods can move any threads with a commerical element there!

Then the main travel section can be divided into basic areas to their popularity:

- SEA
- Rest of ASIA
- Europe
- North America
- Australia / NZ
- Others

Other suggestions on the division?
