This site is part of the Mashed World site network. The site is centred upon an interactive Google map showing places of interest in multiple categories around the world. The site features a powerful Hotel Search facility, combining hotel listings to give you a one-stop place to View, Compare and Book Online hotels anywhere in the world.
When the map is zoomed out, destination markers are used to represent villages, towns and cities. The size of these markers is based upon the total number of hotels and tourist attractions at that destination.
