2008 was a busy year for Vacationer. The aim of the Vacationer has been to provide a refreshing break to the readers and enable them to wander in the virtual travel space. We brought out articles on interesting developments in the world of holidays, some memorable travel stories and inspiring write-ups – in this popular e-travel magazine, which is in fact India's first travel e-magazine. With the year behind us, we thought of turning the clock back and summoned ten features handpicked by the editorial team.
