My Dream Holiday!
My Dream Holiday!
Hey all! What's up! Hahaha. Today's blog post is on "My Dream Holiday".
My dream holiday location would be Hawaii. The reason for my choice is that there isn't another place in the world which is as exotic and as beautiful as the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian islands have the world's most active volcano. And the world's tallest sea mountain is also found in Hawaii. I would like to see these wonders of nature. Other than the natural beauty a lot of activities are also a major attraction for me. I would love to see, or may be even learn the hula. Hahaha. Below are pictures of Hawaii beautiful sceneries

I do not think one can find a place as beautiful, as refreshing and as exotic as the six beautiful Hawaiian Islands namely,: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii's Big island.
I've gotten all this information from Hawaii's Official Tourism Site www.gohawaii.com/. I've used 'purpose', 'coverage' and 'authority' as the evaluation criteria evaluate the website.
First off, the 'purpose' of the website was very clear as it is there to promote Hawaii as it was clearly stated on the website. "Hawaii's Official Tourism Site -- Travel Info for Your Hawaii Vacation" The reason I chose 'purpose' was because it tells us straight away whether this website is what you are looking for immediately.
Next, the 'coverage' of the website is very comprehensive because it gives a user a wide range of useful links and tools and one good example would be the tabs they have covers all the six beautiful islands of Hawaii. The reason I chose 'coverage' was because it is important to have a website that covers almost everything and provide useful links for you to pursue a further search.
Lastly, the 'authority' of the website is shown as it is stated in the Corporate Information that they are working closely with the Hawaii Tourism Authority which gives the website the authority to publish and help tourist in their holiday trip plans. The reason I chose 'authority' was because it is important to know if the website is authorized to published the guidebook and such to the public as well as to check on its reliability of the website.
And here are the pictures taken from Second Life's Hawaii!
The Hawaii in Second Life isn't as beautiful than the picture of the real Hawaii that I've come across. Maybe soon Hawaii Tourism Board might see the potential of developing a replica of 'Hawaii' in Second Life to promote tourism! :D
