If there is a certain cause which is close to your heart you may want to wear a wristband which allows others to perceive your ideology as well. On the other hand wrist bands have other purposes as well. You may want to invest in wristbands which are sturdy and give good value for money.

The benefits of using silicone wristbands

  • The first reason why you should consider buying silicone wristbands is the variety which they offer. These can be customized in a number of ways. Silicone wristbands are versatile and come in different colors. These are quite popular with people who wear them for a fundraising event and also as an awareness tool. For example people may want to sell their wrist bands for a little bit of cash to raise awareness and money for charity.
  • Silicone wristbands are also used as a mass marketing tool. Most companies prefer having their logos printed on silicone bands. They have their product name and company logo printed on the wrist band so that it is able to reach out towards a wider audience.
  • Another reason to use silicone wristbands is that they are easy on your skin. It doesn’t cause any sort of allergic reaction and is safe enough to be used by just about everyone. Make sure that you only purchase non allergic silicone wristbands.
  • Having customized wristbands allows people to know more about your cause. It is an effective way of sharing your message.
  • Wristbands also allows you to manage your events with ease. It becomes easier to identify trespassers from the guests. At any event it can become difficult to manage a large number of people. Also you need to know who is allowed backstage and who is supposed to stay in the front. Wristbands allow you to check the accessibility of each and every guest present at the event. It can also help keep the impostors away. The security personnel standing at the entry should be able to check who has come with a wristband and not give entry to those who have come without one. This can amp up the security. You can choose to customize response in a variety of colors so that managing the event and the people becomes easier.
  • You can also reduce the waiting time at the event. Most of the guests standing in long lines of an event get frustrated when their tickets are checked at a slow pace. On the other hand those who already have wristbands can be allowed entry into the area because it is easy to manage  which guest goes in which direction.

Contact AAC Event Product Specialists if you want to order wristbands for your event.

Melbourne stands tall amongst the cities of the world that have attractions to appeal to all types of people around the globe. So when you are finally planning day tours melbourne to this city of marvelousness, you would want to get all the best of it. It is much better to research and plan your trip so that you can choose and decide on everything that you want to do and visit all the places that appeal to your own self.  Because there are so many places to visit and experiences to enjoy, here is a list of the best five things to do in Melbourne.

Explore the Markets

You’re not seeking all the fun that comes with tourism if you’re not visiting the markets. The markets carry the essence of a place and when your travel destination is Melbourne, you wouldn’t want to miss out on this experience of the shopping hub of Australia. The hottest market of Melbourne has to be the Queen Victoria Market with so much to offer, ranging from local produce to souvenirs, to both locals and tourists. Save time for Wednesday night if you want to enjoy some live music, food and other entertainments. These nights go under the title of Suzuki Night Market. To enjoy art and creativity, visit the Esplanade Market in St Kilda. This market looks absolutely stunning for it is located along the line of palm trees of St Kilda.

Art Galleries and Museums

Melbourne is a city with flourishing art, providing a ride through history and culture. Home to a vast number of pieces, The National Gallery Victoria offers a rich experience with all the indigenous and Australian artwork. Then there is the Melbourne museum which again offers splendid exhibits of the past and history, including dinosaurs!

City Circle Tram

Introduced in 1994, the City Circle tram is a famous tourist ride which offers a ride around Melbourne. The tram runs around the entire city all day long and thus stands as one of the cheapest and easiest ways to go sightseeing. The City Circle tram provides details of the major landmarks and attractions including the Melbourne Aquarium, Princess Theatre, City Museum, Docklands and much more. You can witness the beauty of Melbourne through a different light at the famous Melbourne Star.

The Suburbs

While the city has so much to offer, you must plan a day to visit the outskirts of Melbourne. The outskirts offer beautiful scenery through the wineries, beaches and gardens. The Yarra Valley is home to lush wineries that offer tours, food and wine tasting. Macedon Ranges and DaylesFord offer exhilarating experiences through the historical sites and scenic views, making it worth going for relaxation.

Melbourne Zoo

Do not miss out on the adrenaline-charged wildlife experiences that Melbourne has to offer. A visit to the Melbourne Zoo should be on every tourists list. A renowned world-class facility, the Melbourne Zoo offers the best ride through nature in terms of the wide range of animals, the lush greens and ecstatic rainforests.

Checking the neighborhood where the rental apartment is located

Checking the neighborhood where the rental apartment is located is not only useful for avoiding Airbnb scams . Thanks to the map in the adverts, in fact, we will be able to understand if the apartment is in a good position to reach the city center on foot, the services in the surrounding area and if there are connections with public transport within easy reach.

We read all the reviews
Among the tips to book a holiday home on AirbnB avoiding unpleasant surprises we can certainly read all the reviews. Feedback from other users helps us to understand if the photos of the house are true, if the location of the apartment is comfortable compared to the rest of the city but also if the host is available and kind or not. Attention also to the hosts who have no reviews : maybe they are new on the platform and they are reliable but being the first guinea pig may not be a positive experience.

In some cities, especially large capitals such as Paris, London or Madrid, finding the apartment that suits us on Airbnb will be anything but simple. For this reason, once you have entered the dates and the number of people who will take part in the trip, we’d better use one of the many filters on the Airbnb portal. Through the filters we can choose whether to display only holiday homes below an average price, or only apartments with specific services (swimming pools, whirlpools, balconies, etc.). Filters are the best way to not waste too much time and find the right home on Airbnb.

Check the rules of the city you travel to
As mentioned, based on the city in which we travel, we can also find the tourist tax, which we will have to give in contacts on arrival or departure. To prevent the host from taking advantage of our lack of knowledge about the tourist tax applied by a certain city, before booking, we spend a few minutes to inform ourselves online how much the daily tourist tax is in the place where we intend to spend our holidays.

How to choose the apartment on Airbnb

For many, it has now become a fixture when booking holidays online . After some initial uncertainty, in fact, Airbnb has been able to carve out a role of primary importance in the low cost travel market: if you are looking for a holiday home instead of a hotel, the portal created in San Francisco in August 2008 is our first option. A success that is the result of a business model that is as simple as it is effective: with Airbnb anyone can create an ad to rent a room or their home. And of course anyone can look for a vacation home in any city in the world.

In other words, Airbnb seems all roses and flowers, but there are some aspects to check before renting a house with your eyes closed. We are not just talking about the reviews of our host , that is, the landlord. Of course, feedback from other travelers is essential to understand what awaits us once we arrive at our destination, but to avoid unpleasant surprises and additional costs, we first check the hidden clauses of an apartment or a holiday home when booking with Airbnb.

What is meant by hidden clauses? On Airbnb every landlord chooses the rules of the rental house that his guests must respect. These may include additional charges for particular services, such as a swimming pool, gym, sauna and so on. But there may also be daily deposits to be delivered on arrival and which will be returned to us before departure if we have not damaged anything. While in some cities it is necessary to leave the tourist tax money in contact on arrival or departureprovided by the Municipality. In other cases, however, you may be forced to pay additional costs for the Internet connection or for having lost your house keys and other mishaps that may happen on the road.

Check out the neighborhood
Fake ads can also be found on Airbnb, created by cyber criminals to steal our money. It must be said that Airbnb has an editorial staff dedicated to identifying the false ads and eliminating them, but it can still happen to come across one of these. To understand that it is a fake apartment we look at the photos, if they seem to be taken from a hotel portal or from a travel site we avoid booking the holiday home . If the apartment that is proposed to us is an attic in a large building but we note that the neighborhood is actually residential and has only terraced houses, it is likely that they are trying to deceive us.
