THINGS TO DO
Look for things to do.
Where?? Maybe I
should visit tourist
offices to look for
agencies offering for
things to do??
But wait what if I want to
travel by bus or ferry to
another city, where do I
book tickets?? I guess
searching for ticket
office is my only option
Why not use just 1 website to book all
those things?
