Tickets to balls and other events related to the January 20 presidential inauguration will be hard to come by, but you can always join the crowds along the parade route, and Washington tourism officials say it’s not impossible to find a place to stay.

Hundreds of thousands of people always gather along Pennsylvania Avenue to watch the procession from the Capitol to the White House after the swearing-in ceremony. You’ll likely see marching bands and floats no matter where you stand, but you’re not guaranteed a glimpse of the president and his family. Only bleacher seats require tickets.

The Monday holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls on January 19, the day before the inauguration, which will also add to the crowds.

Be prepared for cold weather. According to Weather Underground’s Trip Planner, since 1993, temperatures on January 20 in Washington have run from an average low of 27 to an average high of 39. The temperature dipped below freezing in 11 of the past 16 years, and only once did it go as high as 60.

The official Washington tourism agency, Destination DC, advises that hotels do still have some rooms available, but they require a three to four-night minimum stay and prepayment.

Fancy parties are a big part of the festivities, and the new president typically drops in on a few of them. Tickets for balls organised by state societies and other private organisations sell out fast, though you may find some tickets to these types of events being resold at higher prices online.

The theme of the 2009 inauguration, which is set by the official inaugural committee, is “A New Birth of Freedom,” a phrase from the Gettysburg Address, in honor of the 2009 bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.

Australian vice-captain Michael Clarke termed India’s move of sending a night watchman defensive and said it is reflective of host’s reluctance to go all out to pull an unlikely win on the final day of the third Test on Sunday.

“India will not set a target for us. On the final day it seems only one team (Australia) will try to go for a win. They (India) made their intentions clear by sending a night watchman,” Clarke said.

India lead by 79 runs after ending the fourth day’s play at 43 for two in their second innings at the Feroz Shah Kotla here Saturday. India declared its first innings for a mammoth 613 for seven while Australia riding on a century from Clarke (112) made 577.

Clarke also thanked the Indian fielders for giving him three opportunities to get to his eighth Test century. The 27-year-old was dropped when on 21, 91 and 94.

Clarke, however, said he was not happy with his hundred.

“Very lucky today that I got my hundred. I could have been out before 40 and a couple of times in the 90s. So, it was the one, I wasn’t happy with,” he said.

Australia started the day with a deficit of 275 runs, but some solid batting from Clarke, Shane Watson (37) and Cameron White (44) helped the visitors claw back to a position from where they can’t lose the match.

Clarke said the start given by openers Matthew Hayden (83) and Simon Katich (64) was crucial in the team’s performance Saturday.

“Hayden and Katich had set it for us. So our job today was to bat as long as we can. But we were not expecting to score as much as we did,” he said.

The Australian deputy went on to say he is still hopeful of winning the match and level the series here.

“We will try to win this match and for that we have to pick couple of wickets early. There is some spin on this track and hopefully our spinners will get the benefit out of it,” he said.

France is hard-selling itself to India as a viable tourist destination with new locales and two new campaigns specifically for the Indian holiday crowd..

The campaigns are “France with Family” for families and “Romantic France” for honeymooners, couples with double income and no kids and those who look for romantic getaways to Europe. It will be launched in November.

The country on Wednesday showcased its tourism potential in the “French Connection 2008″, a two-day promotional road show Oct 22-23 to lure more tourists from India.

Sixteen French and Indian companies took part in the show organised by the Maison de la France, the French Tourist Office, here.

“We are launching two new tourism campaigns, ‘France with Family’ and ‘Romantic France’, in November. The French government is also opening new destinations in western France like Britanny, Normandy, Loire Valley chateaux and the Bordeaux region as a whole.

“We are also promoting French overseas colonies like Polynesian islands and Martinique in the Caribbean,” said Karim Mekachera, director of the French Tourist Office.

The country has opened “relatively inexpensive” bread and breakfast chateaux - mostly old homes converted into overnight resorts - for the upper middle class Indian tourists, who flock to Europe every year.

“The Ralais-Et-Chateaux chain of hotels is one of them,” he said.

France is targeting individual travellers, tour groups and Bollywood, which hunts for new locales and triggers a rush of tourists to see places where their favourite movies were shot.

France organises two major tourism events - the Grand Ski and the Rendezvous France - every year. “The Grand Ski, a major skiing event, conducts 600 tours from across the world. Last year, ten groups of tourists from India visited France for the Grand Ski,” Mekachera said.

It is estimated that nearly 200,000 Indians visited France as tourists in 2007 and 180,000 the year before.

A study by the French Tourist Office in cities like Mumbai and Delhi shows that over 50 percent Indian tourists now treat France as a mono-destination, unlike a decade ago when the country was part of the European tour package.

The duration of stay has also increased from two nights to four nights on an average and Indians could soon become the biggest spenders in France with an average daily spend trend of Euros 100 - 1,000, the survey said.
