Press Release Summary: Luxury Vacation Package to Attend the Largest Carnival
Celebration in the World in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, Offered by Intelligent
Leisure Solutions, an Internet-Based Luxury Travel Company

Press Release Body: Salvador, Bahia, Brazil - September 6, 2007 -- Intelligent
Leisure Solutions, an internet-based luxury travel company, now offers the elite
traveler the opportunity to enjoy and experience Carnival in Salvador, Brazil in
luxury with a 6 Day / 5 Night Salvador da Bahia Carnival Vacation Package, including
accommodations at the beautiful and historic Pousada Salvador da Bahia- Convento do
Carmo, a five-star luxury hotel in what was once a Carmelite Friary built in 1586.
Due to limited quantities and high demand, this luxury vacation package is
available for pre-booking only until October 15th. Accommodations for the Carnival
celebration in Salvador often book up 6 months in advance.
The Carnival celebration in Salvador da Bahia has grown to be the world's largest
street party according to the Guinness Book of World Records. While the famous
Carnival in Rio de Janeiro centers on the Samba Schools and the parades of
extravagantly-dressed sambistas in the Sambòdromo, the party in Salvador takes
place completely in the street. Hundreds of thousands of people follow the
trio-elètricos, huge trucks outfitted with enormous speakers and live bands playing
on top of them, and dance and sing in the streets. Different routes are planned
throughout the city, highlighting the diverse music traditions of Bahia and Brazil.
The biggest names in Brazilian music make appearances in Salvador's Carnival and
perform atop the trios as the crowd either follows the truck in a roped-off bloco,
or watches from above in comfortable, custom-designed camarotes- full-service
observation stands that often double as night-clubs, bars, and restaurants. The
party lasts from dusk until dawn, with only a few hours of rest and recuperation
before starting up again every day.
This luxury Carnival package begins on February 1st, 2008, in Salvador da Bahia,
Brazil- often called "Africa in exile" because of the strong African presence in
its culture and people, which can be witnessed in the city's religion, music,
dance, and cuisine. Salvador is also one of the most famous historical cities in
Brazil and Pelourinho, the historic district, is considered a national treasure
protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Travlers will be taken to the
Convento do Carmo Hotel by private luxury transfer and marvel at the beautifully
restored colonial architecture of the Hotel, its graceful furniture and decor, art,
and the exceptional service provided to all guests. The Hotel is a member of the
"Leading Small Hotels of the World" and was named the
"Best Hotel in Historic Location" by the 2007 4 Rodas Travel Guide. It provides
the perfect luxury location for resting, relaxation, and sophisticated cuisine when
guests are not experiencing Salvador's exciting Carnival festivities. After
settling in at the Hotel, prepare to party! Choose to follow a trio or watch the
party from the comfort of a VIP camarote; an Intelligent Leisure Solutions travel
consultant can help plan the celebration. Customized services are available on
every step of your journey. Recuperate from the rigors of the party life at the
Convento do Carmo's beautiful gardens and swimming pool, or enjoy the sauna,
Whirlpool and exclusive services at the Spa L\'Occitane. After five days of the
Carnival experience in Salvador da Bahia, revelers will return home on February 6th
with a new outlook on life, no doubt influenced by the carefree and high-spirited
Bahians (residents of Salvador da Bahia).
All transfers are provided in luxury, private, and air-conditioned vehicles with
professional English-speaking guides. Customized services and other travel options
may be added to the already existing package selections. Photos and more extensive
