A Wave of New Tourism Taxes Reshapes U.S. Travel in 2026

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:00:00 GMT

Across the United States, a significant shift is underway. Washington, Hawaii, Oregon, New Jersey, California, Minnesota, Texas, South Dakota, Montana, and other states are implementing and increasing new cruise, hotel, and travel taxes to boost tourism infrastructure and sustainability. These targeted levies are designed to generate millions in dedicated revenue, strengthen destination marketing, and fund environmental protection—ensuring tourism growth remains resilient while making visitors contribute more directly to the destinations they visit.

This strategic move reflects how governments are responding to rising infrastructure costs, overtourism pressures, and global event demand. The shift is reshaping the U.S. travel economy and will directly impact your vacation budget.

Washington State: Leveraging the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Temporary Lodging Taxes

Washington State has introduced a targeted lodging tax to capitalize on the economic opportunities of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Through House Bill 1882, a 2% temporary tax on accommodations will be applied from April to September 2026.

The revenue distribution is strategic and community-focused:

50% directed to state tourism programs

25% allocated to local governments

25% dedicated to social initiatives, including anti-human trafficking programs

This balanced approach ensures that tourism growth benefits both the industry and local communities. With major cities like Seattle expecting significant visitor inflows, the tax helps fund marketing, infrastructure, and safety measures. By aligning tourism revenue with social impact, Washington is creating a model that enhances visitor experience while addressing broader societal challenges.

Hawaii: Climate Impact Fees and Long-Term Sustainability

Hawaii is leading the transformation of U.S. tourism taxation by introducing a climate-focused funding model designed to sustain long-term visitor demand. Through Act 96, effective January 1, 2026, the state increased its Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) by 0.75%, bringing the total to 11%.

This policy is projected to generate nearly $100 million annually, all earmarked for environmental protection initiatives:

Shoreline restoration

Wildfire mitigation

Coral reef preservation

Hawaii is also expanding taxation to cruise passengers through an 11% prorated levy, targeting a segment that previously contributed less to environmental maintenance. With over 10 million annual visitors, this model ensures that visitor-driven revenue sustains long-term destination appeal while protecting the natural assets that attract tourists in the first place.

Oregon: Wildlife Protection Levies and Eco-Tourism Growth

Oregon has implemented a targeted tourism tax model that directly links visitor spending to environmental conservation. Under House Bill 4134, passed in March 2026, the state increased its transient lodging tax from 1.5% to 2.75%, adding a 1.25% surcharge.

This increase is designed to fund habitat restoration and protect species like the American Pika, which are central to Oregon's outdoor tourism identity. With millions of annual visitors exploring parks and natural sites, this levy ensures that tourism contributes to ecosystem preservation. The strategy also "exports" the tax burden to out-of-state visitors, reducing pressure on residents. By investing in environmental sustainability, Oregon enhances its tourism value proposition and ensures long-term growth in eco-tourism and outdoor recreation markets.

New Jersey: Event-Based Taxation During the 2026 FIFA World Cup

New Jersey has adopted a multi-layered, event-driven taxation strategy to capitalize on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the Meadowlands District, the state is implementing a temporary 3% increase in sales tax, raising it from 6.625% to 9.625% during the event period.

Additional revenue measures include:

$0.50 rideshare surcharge

2.5% hotel occupancy increase

10% levy on gambling revenues linked to World Cup betting

These taxes are designed to capture revenue from millions of expected visitors during a high-demand window. By targeting peak tourism activity, New Jersey can fund infrastructure, security, and services without imposing long-term tax burdens on residents. This model demonstrates how short-term taxation can significantly boost tourism-related revenue while supporting large-scale global events.

California: Multi-Sector Tourism Improvement Districts

California is pioneering a comprehensive Tourism Improvement District (TID) model that extends taxation beyond hotels to include restaurants, retail, and recreational businesses. In Mammoth Lakes, businesses generating over $150,000 annually and deriving at least 50% of revenue from visitors are taxed between 1.5% and 2.5%.

The taxation structure includes:

1% tax on lodging properties

Higher rates for ski resorts and golf courses

This multi-sector approach ensures that all tourism-dependent industries contribute to destination marketing and infrastructure. With over 200 TIDs across the U.S., California's model is becoming a benchmark for shared responsibility. By diversifying revenue sources, the state strengthens tourism funding and enhances the overall visitor experience.

Minnesota: Elevating Tourism Through Culinary Excellence

Minnesota has implemented a targeted Tourism Improvement District (MTID) in Minneapolis, applying a 2% tax on hotel revenues for properties with 50 or more rooms. This initiative generates millions annually, with a portion—$250,000 per year through 2029—allocated to attracting the Michelin Guide.

This strategy aims to elevate the city's culinary profile and attract high-value tourists. By investing in experiential tourism, Minnesota is shifting focus from volume to quality. The tax ensures that tourism revenue directly enhances visitor experiences, benefiting restaurants, hospitality businesses, and the broader economy.

Texas: Integrating Tourism Revenue with Urban Development

Texas, particularly Austin, has implemented a Tourism Public Improvement District with a 2% tax on hotel revenues for properties with over 100 rooms. Introduced in April 2025, this model integrates tourism funding with social development.

Revenue is strategically split between:

Destination marketing

Homelessness response programs in downtown areas

With Austin attracting millions of visitors annually, this approach ensures that tourism growth supports both economic and social infrastructure. By addressing urban challenges, Texas enhances the visitor experience while maintaining sustainable tourism growth.

South Dakota: Comprehensive Multi-Sector Tourism Taxation

South Dakota operates one of the most comprehensive tourism tax systems in the U.S., applying a 1.5% tax across multiple sectors. This includes admissions to attractions, creating a broad-based funding model that captures revenue from diverse visitor spending patterns.

What This Means for Travelers

If you're planning a trip to any of these states in 2026, expect higher accommodation costs and additional taxes on various travel services.

Here's what to anticipate:Travel & Transportation

Hotel bills will include state and local tourism taxes ranging from 2% to 11% depending on the destination

Cruise passengers visiting Hawaii will face an 11% prorated levy

Rideshare services in New Jersey will include a $0.50 surcharge during the World Cup period

Restaurant and retail purchases in California's Tourism Improvement Districts may include additional taxes

Event-based taxes in Washington and New Jersey apply specifically during the 2026 FIFA World Cup (April-September 2026)

Riga, Latvia one of the best places to travel in 2026

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:00:01 GMT

Everyone’s always looking for Europe’s next destination darling. We’ve got you: Just across the Baltic Sea from Sweden, Latvia’s capital, Riga, is home to a storybook medieval city center (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Europe’s highest concentration of art nouveau buildings, and, says LTTravel Connection advisor, huge nineteenth-century boulevards “that feel like Paris” – minus the crowds. “Riga is a layer cake of centuries in one relatively small capital; with so many European destinations dealing with overtourism and long lines for top attractions, it’s a place where visitors can still feel like locals.” Adding to the appeal is a massive food market in century-old military hangars, a world-renowned symphony, and a ballet company where Mikhail Baryshnikov used to dance. Chances are, Riga won’t be flying under the radar for much longer. #asklttravelconnectionhow #lttravelconnection

Why not a Sunset on the Brahmaputra for 2026

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 17:00:00 GMT

The Brahmaputra River, India

The under-the-radar, northeastern state of Assam is emerging as India for the adventurous set. Thanks to a crop of soon-to-come cruises on the Brahmaputra River – from National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions in 2026 and Viking in 2027 – the area is becoming more accessible. The broad waterway connects travelers to Jorhat, renowned for its colonial-era tea estates; Majuli, a river island home to the Mising, Deori, and Sonowal Kachari people; and the area’s biggest draw, Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed expanse flush with Indian elephants, water buffalo, one-horned rhinoceroses, and one of India’s highest densities of Royal Bengal tigers. “The Brahmaputra is one of the world’s least-touristy rivers,. “Kaziranga is amazing, the river offers an abundance of freshwater fish.”

Get There: On a ten-night round-trip-from-Kolkata voyage, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions cruises the Brahmaputra aboard the 34-passenger Charaidew II. Cabins on the three-deck ship have French balconies, colonial accents, and traditional Assamese hand-woven fabrics. Departures: March 12, March 26, and April 2, 2026. – #asklttravelconnectionhoetogetthere #lttravelconnection

Every autumn, Kyoto hosts seasonal festivals, such as the Kitano Tenmangū Shrine illumination, where the vibrant foliage colors the scenery from lantern lights under the trees. #luxurytravel #lttravelconnection

New Trends in the World of Group Wellness Travel

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:00:06 GMT

At LTTravel Connection, we’re seeing a lot of trends start to emerge in the growing wellness group travel space. Traditionally, wellness during a group vacation included some morning yoga or an afternoon at the spa. But now, we’re seeing trips with vegan culinary options or juicing menus, sound bathing and meditation with monks, purification programs and cutting-edge spa treatments. Typically, women are leading the way in innovating group wellness itineraries.

We’re also seeing wellness transition to a deeper level, with entire itineraries dedicated to wellness and personal growth.

Of course, group trips don’t need to focus solely on wellness at the expense of other interests. Wellness combines nicely with time spent in nature. We’ve booked groups to Colombia, where the itinerary features both deep hydration soaks in mineral springs in the Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs and hikes through the palm trees of the Cocora Valley. The most popular wellness destinations include Indonesia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Morocco, Costa Rica, Iceland, and the countries of Scandinavia, but transformational travel can be found throughout the world depending on what aspects your group is looking for.

Booking wellness experiences with a group also comes with an added cost benefit. “Typically, wellness retreats and experiences can be pricey,” says Lillian with to booking them. “But booking these experiences as a group really drives down the cost per person. Thus, the value in going away with a group is incredible!” #expereience #wellness #grouptravel #lttravelconnection

Why Brazil Is Trending in Travel

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:00:02 GMT

This exciting boost to Brazil’s tourism industry is rippling throughout the country, allowing lesser-known regions to attract new visitors and grow Brazil as a premier destination. Adventure tourism, delicious gastronomy, timeless cities like Rio de Janeiro, and natural wonders like the Pantanal UNESCO Biosphere Reserve—the world’s largest freshwater wetland—all await your discovery.

What are Brazil’s highlights?

Brazil’s aquatic features are enough alone to justify the record-breaking number of travellers flocking to this incredible country. Brazil’s many excellent beaches, Iguassu Falls, the world’s largest waterfall system, and the Amazon River all promise unforgettable experiences in some of the world’s most unique natural settings.

Timeless cities like Rio de Janeiro and Salvador showcase the different paces of Brazilian life, from the rhythm of Copacabana beach to the delicious cuisine and fine dining of Salvador. Other highlights include Buzios’ excellent beachfront resorts, Manaus’ captivating eco-tourism, and Recife’s historical buildings and museums.

When’s the best time to visit Brazil?

Brazil boasts a diverse climate and landscape suitable for year-round travel, perfect for catering tailor-made travel experiences. The warmest months are from November to March, when exciting events like Carnival showcase Brazil’s summer spirit while the shoulder seasons from September to November offer a comfortable blend of smaller crowds and cooler temperatures. #bucketlist #adventure #experience #lttravelconnection

Travel Better with These Travel Tips

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 16:00:05 GMT

Escape the Crowds at These Detour Destinations

Escape the Crowds at These Detour Destinations

Popular places are popular for a reason. Paris, Barcelona, Rome, New York, Tokyo, London and other star destinations have been well-traveled for centuries, sometimes even millennia, because the whole world knows all about the exciting things you can do, see and eat there. You can certainly enjoy a vacation to those cities, but depending on the time of year, you may be elbow to elbow with other visitors trying to grab that last croissant from the café or vying for a prime position to snap a pic of the Sistine Chapel.

Which leads us to detour destinations — places near the main event where you can still absorb and enjoy the same culture. Here are a few to consider for your next vacation

Instead of Rome or Venice, visit Verona

Located about an hour west of Venice, Verona is well-known as the setting for Romeo and Juliet. Today, the entire town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts visitors from around the world for its stunning medieval and Renaissance architecture. Built in the first century, Verona’s open-air amphitheater, the Arena di Verona, is one of the town’s largest draws, especially during the summer when the Arena Opera Festival wows crowds of opera lovers with world-class productions. It’s the perfect place to take an evening stroll, known locally as “la passeggiata,” down cobblestone streets framed by pink-hued medieval buildings, breathing in the culture and history of Italy with each step.

Instead of Cancun, visit Playa del Carmen

While Cancun’s reputation for relaxing days at all-inclusive resorts and electric nights at downtown clubs is well deserved, it’s easy to slip farther down south on the Riviera Maya and experience Mexican culture in its purest form. The friendly people of Playa, as Playa del Carmen is locally known, think their sun-drenched coastal city is more sophisticated than Cancun due to its chic style and European ambiance. And while you’re snorkeling over massive coral reefs mere steps away from the beach, being amazed and inspired at the Frida Kahlo Museum, enjoying one of the 50 attractions at the nearby Xcaret Eco Park or strolling along the 20 blocks of shops and restaurants on pedestrian-only Quinta Avenida, you may agree.

Instead of Tokyo, visit Kyoto

Even without tourists, Tokyo — with its neon signs and ever-punctual trains — is one of the most populous urban areas in the world. That’s why Kyoto, just a few hours away by shinkansen bullet train, is a worthwhile alternative. Much like gazing at Mt. Fuji, modern Kyoto creates the impression of a centuries-old painting come to life. More than 2,000 temples and shrines can be found within its borders, along with transcendent gardens and ancient districts where geishas still walk on thick wooden sandals. Every moment here can be filled with wonder, from standing in awe at the ancient Silver Pavilion or the gold-leaf covered Golden Pavilion to appreciating the famed Zen rock garden at the temple of Ryoan-ji or the towering Bamboo Forest of Arashiyama.

Big change for travelers to Europe! 🇪🇺✈️

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 15:00:00 GMT

As of October 12, 29 European countries have begun rolling out the new Entry/Exit System (EES), a digital border control system replacing passport stamps with electronic records. Over the next six months, the EES will be gradually deployed at all external border points. Non-EU travelers entering for short stays will now have their passport details, facial image, and fingerprints recorded on first entry, making future crossings faster and more secure.

This marks a major step toward modern, efficient, and safer borders, with strong privacy protections and real-time tracking to prevent overstays and identity fraud.

The system is expected to be fully operational by April 2026. #lttravelconnection #europetravel

TRAVEL BETTER IN JAPAN

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 16:00:00 GMT

Where Luxury Comes to Life

Japan seamlessly blends contemporary and traditional culture with thousands of years of history and heritage. Modern metropolitan marvels are aplenty, spanning from displays of technology, pop culture and delicious international cuisine. Discover outdoor adventure like skiing and hiking in Hokkaido, go scuba diving or lounge on the beach in Okinawa or become immersed in the local art and culture of Kanazawa. However you like to travel, we can plan the perfect custom vacation for you to experience all the wonders of this diverse destination. Plus, when you book through our travel agency, you’ll enjoy expert insight plus exclusive savings and VIP perks you won’t find booking on your own.

Gastronomy -Stir-frying tofu

Japan is known for serving some of the world’s finest sashimi, melt-in-your-mouth beef, and more culinary treasures. And while there are endless opportunities to taste the celebrated local fare, the country’s commitment to gastronomic excellence also extends to international cuisine. From fresh seafood to time-honored culinary techniques, dining in Japan can be a captivating experience for all the senses. Looking for more? Ask our travel agency how to elevate your culinary experience with a private food tour to reveal all the nuances of Japanese cuisine.

Natural Wonders-Kerama Islands, Okinawa, Japan

Japan offers a wealth of natural wonders for intrepid travelers to explore, as some of the country’s greatest treasures are found outside its cities. From Hokkaido’s snowfields to Okinawa’s subtropical islands, the country’s spectacular natural beauty is one of its best-kept secrets. With nearly two-thirds of the country covered in stunning mountainous landscapes, Japan is a paradise for outdoor adventure of all kinds, from hiking to cycling, snow sports, diving and golf. With Japan flaunting 34 stunning national parks filled with mountains, lakes, beaches and forests, explorers need only venture just outside of Japan’s major cities to discover wildlife and outdoor experiences that are breathtaking in any season.

Wellness & Relaxation- Buddhist temple

There are many ways to find relaxation in Japan. You are never far from bubbling, geothermal waters with the country's many hot-spring resorts. A soak in these warm, mineral-rich waters offers the perfect reprieve for body and soul. Or you might choose to participate in a relaxing zen meditation session, wander the country’s many pristine botanical gardens or simply book a spa treatment at your hotel. In Japan, you won’t have to travel far to find tranquility.

How to Spend a Port Call in Páros

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 15:00:02 GMT

This less-visited Greek island hits all the right notes.

In the pantheon of Greek isles, Páros stands out as a Goldilocks destination. Nicknamed Little Mykonos for its vibrant nightlife, this pear-shaped, 75-square-mile volcanic rock in the Cyclades is still sleepy enough that there’s a beach where you can enjoy a sunset swim au naturel. Historically a hub for white marble (the Venus de Milo statue was made from two blocks of it), Páros has seen its tourism cachet grow progressively since the 1960s. Today, sun worshippers are falling in love with the island’s sandy beaches, clear waters, white-and-blue cliffside architecture, and winds too aggressive to be casual – the foundations of a classic Cycladic vacation.

Building on top of that is where the fun begins. You can go the Mykonos route with a lively club in Parikia or Naoussa, the island’s two largest villages. But to get the full Páros experience, flesh out your trip with farm tours, local designer shopping, and some of the region’s best seafood restaurants. Here’s how to get a taste of the island on your day in port.

10 a.m.

From the main port, it’s a short walk to the center of Parikia, Páros’ lively capital, home to one of Greece’s most renowned churches: The fourth-century Panagia Ekatontapiliani is known for its 99 doors (and a mythical 100th one that’s said to be hidden). Its interior – a classic basilica layered with elaborate Byzantine details such as a gilded crucifix and massive chandeliers – is worth a peek. Afterward, stroll the narrow, winding lanes lined with white-and-blue buildings that make up the center of town before stopping at stylish, all-day restaurant Chora for a freddo espresso, Greece’s frothy take on the iced coffee.

11 a.m.

Take a 20-minute taxi ride north for a tour and tasting at family-run Petra Farm, overlooking the Aegean. Complete with goats and chickens, it grows everything from grapes and olives to capers, lavender, and figs. In the elegant main house, sample jams, cheese, juicy cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and homemade breads. The prepackaged pantry items (including an addictively sweet-with-a-kick chili jam) make great souvenirs.

1 p.m.

Cab ten minutes to Monastiri Beach Bar & Restaurant to tan and people-watch from a sunbed under its famous red umbrellas. Located on Ai Yiannis Detis peninsula, where rocky hills and a blue-domed monastery preside over the Gulf of Naoussa, Monastiri Beach Bar is among Páros’ most popular, thanks to the island’s growing party scene (book a daybed or cabana weeks in advance). At midday, the DJ spins a tranquil soundtrack for a few hours of alternating between sunbathing and submerging yourself in the Aegean. For the most local sip, try a red, white, rosé, or sparkling wine from newly launched Parian label Seiradi. #lttravelconnection #luxurytravel

Best European Country Pairings for a Multi-Country Adventure

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 15:15:08 GMT

Why Europe Is Ideal for Country-Hopping

Europe is perfectly suited for multi-country travel thanks to its compact geography, shared borders, and robust rail and flight networks. When planned thoughtfully, itineraries featuring up to four countries can still feel seamless and stress-free. The Eurail Pass and extensive budget airline network (including EasyJet, Ryanair, and Vueling) make cross-border travel both easy and affordable.

The Dos and Don’ts of Country Pairing

Do:

Pair neighboring or well-connected countries

Short travel times by train or plane allow clients to spend more time exploring and less time in transit.

Match cultures, climates, travel styles, and currencies

Selecting countries with similar weather, pace, and budget expectations helps create a cohesive and balanced experience.

Plan for at least two to three nights in each destination

Staying multiple nights in one place allows travelers to settle in, explore more deeply, and avoid constant packing and moving.

Don’t:

Combine countries that are far apart or poorly connected

Lengthy travel times can result in fatigue, higher costs, and reduced time spent enjoying the destination.

Overlook visa requirements or currency differences

Visa regulations and currency exchanges can lead to unexpected delays or expenses. Refer to the Schengen visa rules to stay informed.

Add too many countries to one itinerary

Overloading a trip often results in rushed sightseeing and burnout rather than meaningful experiences.

Why Certain Pairings Work: Britain and France. Plus others

France + Netherlands

Germany + Austria

Spain + Portugal

Netherlands + Belgium

Italy + Switzerland

Italy + France

Travel Inspirations – Best Places in the Caribbean

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 18:00:00 GMT

If you're already daydreaming about your next escape, you're not alone — and the Caribbean might be just what you need this summer. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a well-deserved luxury break, there’s something here for everyone.

Imagine sinking your toes into the soft white sands of Turks & Caicos, where calm turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs make it perfect for couples and families alike. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and the views take your breath away.

Or maybe St. Lucia is more your speed — a mix of dramatic volcanic peaks, tropical beaches, and upscale resorts. You can hike the Pitons in the morning, soak in a natural hot spring by afternoon, and toast the sunset from your suite’s private terrace. It’s pure magic for romantics and adventurers alike.

If you’re after something truly exclusive, the British Virgin Islands deliver in every way. Think private beaches, yacht excursions, and boutique hotels — all with an effortlessly posh vibe that still feels relaxed and easy.

And then there’s St. Vincent & The Grenadines, a lesser-known gem with 32 islands to explore. You can hop from one to the next for diving, sailing, or simply soaking in the natural beauty. It’s ideal if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable.

Wherever you're dreaming of, I’d love to help you find the perfect spot and take care of the planning. Let’s make this summer one to remember.

Passports are always best!

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 17:15:00 GMT

Even if your cruise line does not require you to have a passport, we STRONGLY recommend it for all international cruises. Not only is it convenient for getting on and off the ship, but it can really save the day if a health or family emergency requires you to quickly get back to the United States. Without a passport, you would have to get an emergency passport by visiting a U.S. embassy or consulate in order to fly home. Don't take the chance and pack your passport just in case. Find more tips at travel.state.gov/cruise.

*Note: Passport cards cannot be used for international air travel, so we recommend bringing a regular passport book

Exploring the Enchanting Diversity of South Africa: A Journey Like No Other

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 17:00:00 GMT

Exploring the Enchanting Diversity of South Africa: A Journey Like No Other

South Africa, a land where untamed wilderness kisses the modern metropolis, offers an exhilarating adventure at every turn. From the golden savannahs that stretch as far as the eye can see to the cosmopolitan hustle and bustle of its vibrant cities, here’s why South Africa should be on every traveler’s bucket list.

A Symphony of Nature’s Best

Nestled at the tip of the African continent, South Africa’s diversity in landscapes and wildlife is unparalleled. Visit the iconic Kruger National Park to embark on a heart-pounding safari, where the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—strut across vast terrains. Witness the breathtaking sight of herds of zebra grazing alongside antelope with a kaleidoscope of birds flitting overhead. It’s a photographer’s dream, promising shots that tell a thousand stories.

Cities that Sparkle

From the culturally rich grounds of Cape Town with its majestic Table Mountain to the lively streets of Johannesburg, South Africa’s cities pulsate with energy and life. In Cape Town, wander through colorful Bo-Kaap, explore the historic Robben Island, or sip on exquisite wines in Stellenbosch. Johannesburg, affectionately known as Jo’burg, showcases a fascinating urban tapestry woven through art, history, and gastronomic delights, ensuring adventures for every kind of traveler.

Beach Bliss and Scenic Drives

For those who crave sun and surf, the Garden Route offers a stunning drive with the Indian Ocean’s waves crashing to your left and lush forests rising to your right. Stop by the quaint town of Knysna, famed for its oysters, or bask in the splendid panoramas offered by the Bloukrans Bridge. Adventure seekers might even take a plunge with a bungee jump!

Cultural Richness and Heritage

In South Africa, every region tells its own story. Dive into the rich history and culture with visits to the Apartheid Museum or a traditional Zulu village. Feel the echoes of the past and the vibrant heartbeat of the present as you meet locals who are as diverse in language and tradition as the land itself.

Gastronomy and Local Flavors

Round off your day with mouth-watering bites that capture the essence of South African cuisine. From a flavorful braai (barbecue) to savoring Bobotie—a tantalizing Cape Malay curry dish—each meal is an adventure for your taste buds.

Plan Your South African Adventure with LTTravel Connection Inc!

At LTTravel Connection Inc, we're here to help you experience South Africa in all its grandeur. Whether you're dreaming of a safari, a cultural escape, or an unforgettable city break, we're ready to make it happen!

Eleven Practical Suggestions for Women Traveling Alone to Help You Have a Safe Trip.

Solo travel can be such a rewarding and empowering experience, especially with a bit of preparation and awareness. Here are eleven practical suggestions to help women traveling alone have a safe and enjoyable trip:

Research Your Destination: Prior to your trip, familiarize yourself with the local culture, customs, and laws of your destination. Understanding common safety concerns and areas to avoid is a great start.

Stay Connected: Keep family or friends updated on your itinerary. Share your accommodation details and a general schedule with someone you trust.

Choose Safe Accommodation: Opt for reputable hotels or hostels with good reviews. Prefer accommodations with 24-hour security and in well-lit, busy areas.

Keep Important Documents Safe: Make copies of your passport, travel insurance, and identification. Keep one copy with you and another in your luggage, or stored digitally on a secure platform.

Blend In: Dress according to the local norms to avoid drawing unwanted attention. This can help you navigate confidently through new environments.

Trust Your Instincts: If something or someone feels off, trust your gut. It’s always better to be cautious and leave a situation that feels uncomfortable.

Stay Aware of Your Surroundings: Be mindful when using ATMs, taking public transport, or walking alone at night. It’s wise to plan ahead for late-night returns to your accommodation.

Keep Devices Charged: Ensure your phone is always charged. Consider carrying a portable charger for emergencies.

Avoid Sharing Too Much: Be cautious about disclosing personal details or travel plans to strangers. While it’s great to meet new people, it’s also important to protect your privacy.

Learn Basic Local Phrases: Knowing a few key words or phrases can help you in tricky situations and show respect to the local culture.

Stay Sober and Alert: While trying local cuisines and drinks is part of the adventure, it's important to stay in control. Being sober helps you make sound decisions and maintain awareness of your surroundings.

Interesting Foods to try on the ABC Islands

Interesting Foods to try on the ABC Islands

In addition to all the fun-in-the-sun activities, the Dutch Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao offer lots of great options for foodies. Here are the top things to try on your next vacation to the ABC Islands.

Keshi Yena – this is a staple in Aruba and Curaçao that is believed to have originated with Dutch Empire slaves. It is a dish that usually includes spiced meat, olives, and raisins cooked in the leftover rind of a cheese ring.

Kabritu Stoba – a very common stew dish in this region that is made up of goat meat soaked in lime juice, butter, garlic, onions, tomatoes, vinegar, jalapenos, beef stock, and paprika. This stew pairs well with funchi, a cornmeal side dish that is similar to polenta.

Pastechi – this is the Caribbean version of an empanada. It is a pastry dough that is usually filled with beef, fish, chicken, or ham. The meat of choice is mixed with raisins, nutmeg, or cumin and then the pastry is fried.

Piska – fresh fish. Some of the best fresh fish like conch, grouper, snapper, or wahoo may be the catch of the day in the local restaurants. Enjoy the fish with funchi or rice.

Pepper Sauce – each island has its own pepper sauce variation, but spicy food lovers will enjoy the variety. In Aruba and Curaçao, try the papaya hot sauce. And in Bonaire, you will want to try the pika siboyo that is made of onions and peppers marinated in vinegar.

Kokada – satisfy your sweet tooth with coconut candy that is a favorite in the ABC islands.

So, which dish do you have at the top of your list to try on your next vacation to the Southern Caribbean islands? We can be sure to include some great dinner reservations when we design your next vacation. Schedule your complimentary Discovery Call today.

Ocean Cruising 101

Ocean Cruising 101

First-time cruiser? We’re sure you’ve got a million questions, but there’s no need to lose sleep wondering about how it will all go. We are here to help! Here’s what you need to know about getting on and off the cruise ship.

Embarkation

This is the process used by cruise ships to verify everyone who will be sailing with them. Most likely, you will have a time slot at which you will be scheduled to arrive. Drop off your luggage with the porters. It will be scanned by security and delivered to your cabin. From there, go to check in. You will need all of the documentation required by your cruise line.

We recommend that you bring a carry-on bag. It will hold medications, valuables, your laptop and other electronics, sunscreen, and a change of clothes. Once you are cleared to board, smile for the cameras (there are many) and walk the gangway onto the ship. Your vacation has officially started! Don’t expect to go to your cabin right away. Instead, find a place to eat lunch and grab a drink.

Before the ship leaves port, there will be a mandatory muster drill. This is a safety exercise designed to familiarize all passengers with the location where they are to assemble in the unlikely event of an emergency. When finished, the cruise ship horn will blow as people gather on the lido deck to wave goodbye to dry land.

From there you will be free to enjoy your cruise and all the ship has to offer. If you have any questions, you can visit guest relations. They will also be able to help you with any services you did not schedule prior to the cruise such as specialty dining reservations, spa treatments, and shore excursions.

Disembarkation

Preparing to leave the ship will actually start on the last full day of your cruise, and your cruise director will hold a briefing to go over disembarkation procedures. We highly recommend attending this meeting, especially if it is your first cruise. They will share any forms which may need to be filled out prior to clearing customs. They will also explain options that are available for taking your luggage off the ship.

If you are going to have the cruise line carry your luggage off the ship, you will pack your bags, and set them out in the hallway between 10:00 pm and midnight. They will be picked up and carried down for disembarkation. You won’t see them again until you are off of the ship, so be sure to hang on to anything you may need overnight. The stories you’ve heard about passengers leaving the ship in the same clothes they wore the night before are true!

Early the next morning, your ship will be cleared by the port authorities and disembarkation will begin. It will take about three hours for all the passengers to leave the ship. If you opted to carry your luggage off the ship instead of having the crew move it for you, bring it with you when you leave your room. You will be responsible for your luggage and will not receive any help with it.

You will likely be assigned a group and time for disembarkation. Once your group is called it will only take about 15 minutes. While you are waiting, you may grab a bite to eat or take advantage of any last-minute sales happening on the ship. Be mindful that most of the crew are helping with disembarkation or preparing for the next group of passengers so many public places and restaurants may be closed.

The final step is to go through customs. Porters are not available to help you with this process. You may be required to show the immigration official your passport and forms. Some passengers may be required to meet with immigration officials prior to leaving the ship. Because rules change based on the country of disembarkation and nationality of the passenger, it is best to follow all the instructions given onboard.

Cruising is so much fun and is truly a great way to see the world. Now that you know what to expect, it’s time to get you on a ship! Let’s set up a time to discuss your first cruise. Schedule your complimentary vacation consultation here with #lttravelconnection.

Exploring the Dominican Republic

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 16:00:00 GMT

Exploring the Dominican Republic

Sandwiched between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, the Dominican Republic accounts for the eastern two-thirds of the Island of Hispaniola and is neighbor to Haiti. Today, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, the Dominican Republic is the most visited Caribbean destination with good reasons why. This beautiful Caribbean country offers you breathtaking landscapes, numerous unique flora and fauna, and adventure for all types of travelers.

The country is quite unique with its variety of landscapes worth exploring. In addition to the all-inclusive resorts along the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic proudly boasts 29 national parks, five mountain ranges, numerous rivers, desert-like dunes, lagoons, and cenotes. And there is no shortage of activities from which to choose.

Here are four activities to consider for your next vacation to the Dominican Republic.

Whale Watching

From January to March, near the area of Samana, you can take a boat excursion to watch for migrating humpback whales. Round out your trip to the Marine Mammal Sanctuary area with a visit to the Museo de las Ballenas located in Santa Barbara de Samana to learn more about the whales and their migration patterns.

Golf

With over 25 beautiful courses from which to choose, golf is a top activity of choice for visitors. Try one of the Pete Dye courses like top-ranked Teeth of the Dog in La Romana with almost half of its holes along the coral formations of the coast of the Caribbean Sea. Maybe you want to try to golf your way through mangroves at the Bavaro Resort Lake Course. The Corales Golf Club has gained popularity after it was the first course in the Dominican Republic to host a PGA tour event.

Scuba Diving and Water Sports

Divers will enjoy a vacation in the summer months between June and September with waters that are calm and good visibility. And they will also enjoy mild temperatures that average between 75º and 84º Fahrenheit. Enjoy colorful marine life, explore shipwrecks, and even try wall dives along coral reefs near Saona and Catalina islands.

For those that like sports above the water, there are a variety of options. You can try your hand at wind surfing or kitesurfing with steady winds to help as you learn the techniques. Many resorts will also offer paddleboarding, kayaks or banana boats.

Damajagua Falls

For the nature lover, consider an adventure to one of the many waterfalls in Puerto Plata like Damajagua Falls otherwise known as the 27 waterfalls. Discovered in the 1990s, the area has grown to be a fun off-the-beaten-path experience. Spend the day jumping and sliding off the falls and relaxing in the natural pools.

Antarctica camping: What's it like?

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 17:00:00 GMT

Antarctica camping: What's it like?

Antarctica camping: What's it like? Your bucketlist!

So you’ve travelled all the way to the seventh continent, the white wonder, Antarctica. How can you be more adventurous than that? Well, there is a way — spend a night on the continent. 

For those who have a bucket list as long as their arm, ask LTTravel Connection how and what offers we have for the chance to set up camp right on the icy shores of Antarctica. Here's a primer for those who may be considering the experience:

What’s it like?

After finishing a warm meal in the Expedition dining room you’ll collect your belongings and head ashore. You'll be provided a two-person tent, to be shared with another member of the same sex.

As the saying goes: “There’s no bad weather, just bad clothing.” If you’ve signed up for the camping, you’re best to bring some warm clothes to sleep in — thermal underwear is advisable. One of our vendors G Adventures provides excellent sleeping bags, liners, tents, and air mattresses; however, the clothing is up to you. As you will be in the open air for a good part of the evening, an extra fleece would be handy to have. A hat, gloves or mittens, and extra-thick socks are a necessity for a chilly evening, and a good windproof, waterproof parka and pants will keep you extra warm and comfortable.

Previous camping experience is not necessary to participate. 

What will I see?

This depends on the season. From October to mid-February, you’ll sleep under the glow of a midnight sun. If you’re visiting in the later ends of the season, into the end of February and March, you’ll be rewarded with the best stars you’ve ever seen. The lack of light pollution allows you to see the night sky with great clarity, and one of your Expedition team will be there point out the constellations for you.

Also, be on the lookout for curious penguins wandering among the tents.

Can I take some food and drinks?

Unfortunately no, you can’t bring along that fantastic dessert you stole from dinner. Food and drink are not permitted on land in Antarctica to avoid spoiling the pristine wilderness. You’re permitted to bring water ashore, in a water bottle provided on board the ship. 

What about the bathroom?

We encourage everyone to use the bathroom before heading ashore. But as the saying goes, “When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go," so we do bring a portable toilet ashore for any late-night journeys to the bathroom. 

Can I book camping after I'm on the ship?

No — for insurance reasons, camping needs to be booked in advance, and spaces are limited to 60 campers per departure. Please note, not all departures are able to offer camping.

Ready to extend your summer glow through the winter months? 🌴

Ready to extend your summer glow through the winter months? ��

From lounging on Fiji's immaculate beaches to exploring the Philippines' vibrant underwater world or indulging in Thailand's rich culture- the choices are endless.

These tropical paradises offer endless sunshine, crystal-clear waters, and unforgettable experiences that will warm your heart and soul. Whether you seek exhilarating adventures or relaxing getaways, there’s a perfect escape waiting for you.

ADVISOR TIP: Now is the perfect time to plan your tropical winter escape. Booking early not only ensures you secure the best spots and deals, but it also gives you ample time to customize your itinerary for a truly personalized experience.

Fall For Japan 5 Unique Autumn Adventures

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 16:00:00 GMT

Fall For Japan 5 Unique Autumn Adventures!

1: Stay in a traditional monastery

Make your way to Koyasan, the centre of Buddhism in Japan, and spend the night in Mount Koya Temple — a working monastery founded in 816 by the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi. Located 800m atop Mount Koya, a train takes you up the mountain to reach the monastery, which is recognised as one of the most scenic rail journeys in Japan. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to spend time with the monks, observing their morning prayers and exploring the tranquil monastery grounds. Feel spirited away in the moss-covered Oku-no-in cemetery, one of the most sacred sites in Koyasan housing the Kobo Daishi’s mausoleum.

2: Explore a traditional folk village

Having retained its traditional customs and touches unlike many Japanese cities, the mountainous city of Takayama continues to capture the imagination of travellers. With a restricted number of visitors to combat pre-pandemic overcrowding, now is the perfect time to explore Takayama’s unique history. You can visit the nearby Hida No Sato folk village and meander the quaint streets lined with sake breweries and craft shops. With buildings dating back to the 1600s, you’ll marvel at the steep, thatched roofed farmhouses that are said to resemble praying hands.

3: Learn from the Kembu Masters

In Kyoto, you can feel empowered by the ancient art of Kembu which honours the culture of the Japanese warrior class, the infamous samurai. Meet with Kembu masters and learn about the strict code of ethics and sense of duty that ran among the samurais between the 12th and 19th centuries. You’ll learn to wield a samurai sword, mastering the basic moves of this delicate art form which was used by samurais to improve concentration and express their warrior spirit.

4: Spend time with elders in Hagi

If you’re looking for a truly immersive cultural experience, the Hagi Homestay sees elderly residents opening their homes, sharing meals and teaching you their traditional way of life. The rural farming and fishing community is located on Japan’s southern coast, nestled among rice fields, forests and pristine beaches. With no direct train routes, Hagi remains far off the tourist trail and has seen its younger generation migrate to cities for work, leaving behind an ageing population. Created to generate happiness and purpose for Hagi’s ageing residents, the Hagi Elder Homestay is supported by our non-profit partner, Planeterra, and benefits over 150 Hagi community members. You’ll sleep on traditional shikibuton beds, learn to cook meals with your host and enjoy a bike ride tour of the Hagi region, taking in the city’s samurai era architecture and coastal paths along the Japanese Sea.

5: Take in the fall colours at a Kyoto temple

Home to over 2,000 temples, Kyoto is the perfect place to enjoy sweater weather and the magical colours of Japan’s autumn leaves. From the red and yellow colours, known as koyo, to the intense red maple leaves, known as momiji, you can explore the tranquil gardens around the temples and teahouses, capturing the perfect fall photo along the way. A visit to the Fushimi Inari shrine just outside Kyoto lets you walk under the iconic torii gates, featured in the film Memoirs of a Geisha

Six essential highlights of Southern Spain

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 15:00:00 GMT

Six essential highlights of Southern Spain

Six essential highlights of Southern Spain

1: Explore the vibrant city of Madrid

Before heading due south, take the opportunity to kick your trip off in Madrid. It’s one of those bustling, lively cities that you can explore for days and still not see everything. Visit Plaza Mayor, the grand central square in the city’s heart, take a tour of the Royal Palace, the official residence of the Spanish Royal family (psst: buy tickets in advance), enjoy the incredible artwork at the Prado Museum, and pop over to Mercado San Miguel, a covered market where you’ll find the tastiest seafood, creamy cheeses, and refreshing spritzes. Drooling yet?

2: Take a guided tour of Alhambra

About a 10 minute bus ride from the centre of Granada sits one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture. A palace and fortress, the Alhambra, is impeccably preserved for a place that began in 1238. Covering an enormous 26 acres with endless history at every corner, we highly recommend taking a guided tour to get the most out of your visit. The detailed stories and beautiful architecture will capture your attention for the whole three hour walking tour. Plus, you’ll get treated to the most stunning views of the city.

3: Indulge in tiny plates and sweet sangria

Spain is all about tapas and, honestly, it’s the best way to enjoy a meal with others or on your own. Tapas are small plates that let you order multiple dishes to try a bit of everything without getting too full. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a restaurant that doesn’t offer croquettes, ceviche, or paella. Yum!

Whatever you do, don’t forget to order a glass of cava—one of Spain’s most famous sparkling wines. Or, for a mere €3 (or $3.25 USD) head to Los Manueles in Granada and order the White Sangria for a truly sweet experience.

Hot tip: The food is fresh and delicious but keep in mind, the Spanish tend to eat late and take their time. Dinner typically starts around 9pm, but you can find places that open slightly earlier, and can last for several hours.

4: Enjoy a traditional flamenco performance in Seville

As you explore the streets of Southern Spain, you’ll see flamenco in high-traffic areas, but it’s not the same as a live show. Flamenco dancing is a Spanish art form that involves guitar playing, singing, and clapping of hands. The dancing is quite emotional and you can see it emanating through the dancers facial expressions and movements.

A live show typically lasts about an hour and you’ll want to get there early to snag a front row seat. While there are no bad seats, sitting up front allows you a close-up look at the dancer's swiftly moving feet—blink and you’ll miss it!

5: Revel in Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba's history

Situated between Granada and Seville sits Córdoba. With lots of little cobblestone streets to wander and blossom-filled courtyards, this is the spot for art and history lovers. You can’t come to Córdoba without paying a visit to Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba. With a history dating back all the way to the mid-6th century, the architecture evokes all of the different cultures that came to worship here. Discover the fascinating history of the creation of the mosque and the development of the cathedral.

6: Get to know Gaudi in Barcelona

A trip to Spain is not complete without a stop in Barcelona. Take in Antoni Gaudi’s beautiful Sagrada Familia church, and even if you don’t go inside, the outside is just as breathtaking. You’ll find even more of Gaudi’s incredible work by heading to Park Güell where you can wander about his colourful mosaics and enjoy the city views. To visit both of these spectacular sites, be sure to purchase your tickets in advance.

If you’ve got several days in Barcelona, check out Las Ramblas, a 1.2km (less than a mile) street filled with shops, restaurants, and entertainment. You could spend hours strolling through the Picasso museum which has nearly 4,000 works of art. Walk the streets and admire the wavy architecture of Casa Batlló. And of course, stroll through Barri Gòtic where the narrow streets and the calm squares are home to the history of central Barcelona.

Let's talk travel insurance

Considering a big trip soon? Let's talk about a crucial safeguard: travel insurance. With recent surges in flight cancellations and travel disruptions, it's more important than ever to protect your journey.

Travel insurance is your safety net for unexpected events during your journey. It covers a range of mishaps, from flight cancellations to medical emergencies abroad. Think of it as your backup plan, ensuring peace of mind while you explore.

Why should you have travel insurance on your next (and every) trip?

• Coverage for Medical Emergencies: Travel insurance covers medical expenses, so you can focus on recovery instead of worrying about costs.

• Trip Cancellation Protection: If your plans change last minute due to unforeseen circumstances, you’re covered for cancellations and interruptions.

• Lost or Delayed Luggage: Don’t let lost luggage ruin your trip. Insurance helps you replace essentials and keeps you moving.

• Coverage for Adventure Activities: Enjoy peace of mind while engaging in activities like skiing or scuba diving, knowing you’re covered.

In a world full of uncertainties, travel insurance is your best companion for a worry-free adventure. It’s a small investment that can make a huge difference.

Is Alaska on your Bucket List?

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 16:00:01 GMT

Is Alaska on your Bucket List?

If you haven’t been to Alaska, GO. The sheer beauty of this state can take your breath away.

Most clients will go on a cruise to Alaska to be able to see different ports of call in Alaska.

It’s now end of July and it seems like a long way away from summer of next year but if you want to see Alaska, our best advice is to BOOK NOW. Prices for cruises are out for as far out as the summer of 2026 now so there is no time like the present.

Why should you go to Alaska and book early?

1. Get the best cabins on your cruise ship. Did you know that if you are sailing northbound (from Vancouver and ending in Alaska) you will want to be on the starboard (right) side of the ship. If you are sailing southbound (starting in Alaska and ending in Vancouver), you’ll want to be on the port (left) side of the ship. This is one of the few cruises where which side of the ship you are on does matter. You want to see the land- not the open ocean.

2. Cruise Tours fill up fast! Since a cruise tour will usually have some bus/rail component, and the bus only has a limited # of seats, you want to ensure that you get one of those seats if you are particular about the cruise tour you are going on.

3. The Glaciers won’t last forever- with global warming, the glaciers world wide- and including Alaska, are melting (or retreating) at an alarming rate. How much longer will they be here? No on can tell but why wait until the glacial parks may be limited to the # of cruise ships that can enter them?

4. The scenery is just spectacular!

While you may not be able to see Mt McKinley from a cruise ship, this is one of the must see’s if you take a cruise tour!

5. The excursions fill up quickly. A couple of years ago, clients wanted to take the White Pass train in Skagway up and the bus down and the only time they could get that itinerary was at 8:30am. They really wanted a noon excursion but they booked in March and everything was already booked. Just as with the # of seats on the bus of a cruise tour, the excursions are going to fill up quickly, too.

So what does LTTravel Connection recommend?

If you can, take at least a 4 day cruise tour so that you can see Denali

Book your cruise and cruise tour early to get the best availability.

Book your excursions early. Most are able to be cancelled prior to the cruise if you change your mind.

Sail either north or south bound rather than round trip from Vancouver or Seattle– you’ll see so much more.

If you are daring enough, a helicopter tour of the ice fields are spectacular.

Don’t just get off the ship and wander around the cruise pier– explore the ports of call.

In Denali, take the Tundra Wilderness Tour for the best opportunity to see wildlife.

Pack layers- since the weather can be unpredictable and plan on rain.

Bring binoculars and a camera or smart phone that can take panoramic pictures!

Most of all- enjoy the spectacular scenery that the 49th state has to offer.

The travel consultants at LTTravel Connection will be able to guide you toward the best cruise or cruise tour to Alaska so contact us for more information.

What are some of the MUST SEE sites in Ireland?

What are some of the MUST SEE sites in Ireland?

Let's talk travel to Ireland. I had a client who retired as a guidance counselor travel to Ireland as a single back in March. She is a history buff and there is some much history there. So here are some top spots to visit on your vacation to Ireland. The best time to visit Ireland is between March and May, and September to November, when it's not as crowded as it is in summer, or as cold as it is in winter. That said, Ireland has a mild, temperate climate and although it's rainy at times, you can visit all year round.

Cities like Dublin and Galway

Ring of Kerry or the Dingle Peninsula

Cliffs of Moher

The Burren

Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel

Giant’s Causeway

The Aran Islands

Connemara

Killarney National Park

The Guinness Store House or the Jameson Distillery in Dublin or the Jameson Experience in Midleton (near Cork)

Whether you want to explore on your own or be part of a group or have your own private driver, Ireland may be a destination to consider!

Did you know that Jeju Island, South Korea is an underrated summer travel destinations for 2024

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 16:00:00 GMT

Did you know that Jeju Island, South Korea is an underrated summer travel destinations for 2024?

For people looking to spend some time in Asia this summer, Jeju Island in South Korea has something for every type of traveler: There are big- city happenings and cultural experiences, beautiful beaches and resorts, picturesque waterfalls, hiking and scuba diving opportunities, all-terrain-vehicle adventures and more. It really is a place where you can spend a day relaxing in nature and then live it up in the city by night.

One new and notable place to stay is the JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa near Seogwipo on the southern part of the island. Opened in 2023, the resort features modern rooms, a sleek infinity pool and an impressive signature restaurant called Island Kitchen, where international fare is on the menu.

In and around Seogwipo, you can trek out to see the lone Oedolgae Rock formation jutting out of the ocean, snorkel around the Hwanguji Coast in natural beach pools, visit Yakcheonsa Temple (one of the largest in Asia) and eat traditional Korean food and Jeju specialties.

Did you know French Polynesia is one of least visited country in the world!

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 15:00:00 GMT

Did you know French Polynesia is one of least visited country in the world!

Due to its remote location in the South Pacific, French Polynesia is one of the least visited countries in the world. An island chain that stretches across more than 2,000 kilometres, French Polynesia is truly a tropical paradise. Palm-fringed beaches, over-water resorts and verdant forests invite travelers to relax and unwind. The best-known islands are Bora Bora, Papeete and Moorea, but there are more than 100 islands to explore. Head off the beaten track, away from the resort islands, and you’ll find unique cultural experiences and even more paradisical beaches! Furthermore, French Polynesia is an incredible destination for scuba diving and snorkelling thanks to its rich underwater world.

Montserrat: the least touristy Caribbean island. Venture off the beaten track!

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 16:00:02 GMT

Montserrat: the least touristy Caribbean island to venture to for off the beaten track!

If you want to visit the least touristy Caribbean islands, be sure to travel to the paradise isle of Montserrat. Not only is this one of the lesser-known Caribbean Islands, but it is also one of the least visited countries in the world. With only 8,000 annual visitors, Montserrat is part of the Lesser Antilles chain and a British Overseas Territory. Known for its lush interior and quiet stretches of coastline, it is nicknamed the ‘Emerald Isle of the Caribbean’. It was once famous as a jet-set destination for musicians. Unfortunately, a volcano eruption in the 1990s destroyed large parts of the island. Today Montserrat is regaining popularity but is sure to retain its exclusive reputation!

Fancy venturing off the beaten track?

The World's Natural Wonders

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 15:00:00 GMT

The World's Natural Wonders

Machu Picchu, Peru

Mythical Machu Picchu is situated in the Andes, 2,430 metres above sea level in the Cusco region of Peru. An ancient Inca citadel, Machu Picchu is a bucket-list destination and the most visited attraction in the country. The impressive size and location of these ancient ruins make them a wonder of the world. Many have speculated about the original purpose of Machu Picchu since Hiram Bingham rediscovered the lost city in 1911. Some theorize it served as a ceremonial site, a military stronghold or a retreat for Inca nobility. Originally constructed in the 15th-century, Machu Picchu is remarkably well-preserved thanks to the genius of Inca engineering. Composed of temples, plazas, terraces and walls, visiting Machu Picchu is like stepping back in time. Most tourists travel to Machu Picchu from Cusco, making use of the train service that connects the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes. Machu Picchu is one of the most impressive 7 wonders of the world, whether you’re fascinated by the Inca Empire or simply want to soak up the epic landscapes.

Chichen Itza, Mexico

The ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza is another South American world wonder. Situated on the Yucatan Peninsula, Chicken Itza is a popular day-trip destination from the Riviera Maya beach resorts. It is an important tourist attraction as well as an active archaeological site. New insights into Mayan culture are regularly unearthed here. It is thought that Chichen Itza was constructed around the 4th or 5th centuries, and it quickly became an important centre of Mayan culture.

If you visit Chichen Itza, the main attraction is a huge pyramid structure, known as El Castillo. The pyramid once served as a temple, dedicated to the Mayan deity, Kukulcán. Its impressive terraced design is an example of the Mayan’s amazing engineering skills. A curious aspect of this world wonder is that during the spring and autumn equinoxes, the steps of the pyramid line up perfectly with the sun. This alignment casts a serpent-like shadow that crawls down the side of the structure. Chichen Itza is a mysterious site that provides an insight into the traditions and beliefs of the Mayan people.

Colosseum, Italy

The Colosseum is located in Rome and its imposing silhouette is recognized around the world. Almost 2,000 years old, the Colosseum is well preserved and it is the most important tourist attraction in Italy. The amphitheater was completed in the year 80 AD and hosted a range of events, including the gruesome gladiator fights of the Roman era. It was known as the Flavian Amphitheatre and attracted crowds of up to 50,000 spectators. Emperor Titius announced 100 days of games in celebration of the Colosseum’s completion. These 100 days of games resulted in the death of more than 2,000 gladiators. Today, the Colosseum welcomes around 6 million visitors a year. Furthermore, the Pope leads a Good Friday procession through the ruined amphitheater every Easter. The Colosseum is the only wonder of the world in Europe.

Petra, Jordan

Petra is one of the oldest wonders of the world, nestled in the heart of Jordan’s southwestern desert. Carved directly into the pink sandstone cliffside, this was once the capital of the ancient Nabatean Kingdom. The site was propelled into the spotlight by its appearance in the Indiana Jones film The Last Crusade. Petra was a thriving trading centre and the Nabatean capital from 400 BC to 106 AD. The city was eventually deserted and stood empty until it was rediscovered in the early 1800s.

Today, visitors from all over the world flock to explore this wonder of the world. The Treasury is the most famous structure in Petra, with its grand, collonaded facade. Other notable structures to discover on a tour of Petra include the Monastery, the Great Temple and the Theatre. Archaeologists suspect that only a small percentage of the original city has been uncovered so far.

Great Wall of China, China

The Great Wall of China is the largest wonder of the world, visible from space and stretching for more than 20,000 km. In fact, it is the longest man-made structure on earth. Construction started in the 7th-century BC and over the years this defensive wall has been extended multiple times. A total of 19 different walls make up the Great Wall of China. The different sections show the evolution of construction methods and styles. Parts of the Great Wall stretch as far as the Russian border and the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and construction of the wall only came to an end in the 19th-century!

Beijing is considered the gateway to the Great Wall. The most popular sections, such as Jinshanling, Juyongguan and Jiankou are located close to the capital. These sections were built during the Ming dynasty and are well-preserved, although they can become busy during peak visiting hours. As one of the greatest engineering marvels of mankind, the Great Wall of China is on the bucket lists of all intrepid travelers.

Christ the Redeemer, Brazil

The youngest of the Wonders, Christ the Redeemer stands high above the skyline of Rio de Janeiro, at the peak of Corcadavo Mountain. Christ the Redeemer was crafted over the course of nine years by a handful of different sculptors. It was inaugurated in 1931. Measuring 30 metres in height and with an arm span of 28 metres, this monumental statue is a testament to Brazil’s religious heritage. Visible from almost anywhere in the city, Christ the Redeemer is an omnipresent cultural icon. The statue has a unique design. From afar, it appears to be an ordinary cross, but its delicate features reveal the face of Jesus Christ up close.

Visiting Christ the Redeemer is a popular highlight of a tour of Rio de Janeiro and most visitors take a 20-minute cog train ride to the summit of the mountain. The statue stands on an 8 metre-high pedestal, which contains a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Aparecida. The chapel holds daily services and can be used for weddings and baptisms. At night, the statue is illuminated, transforming into a beacon of light above Rio de Janeiro.

Taj Mahal, India

The Taj Mahal is located in the city of Agra on the southern bank of the Yamuna River and is a universal symbol of love. Emperor Shah Jahan constructed this immense white marble mausoleum after his beloved wife tragically died during childbirth in 1631. This great tomb is a symbol of his heartbreak and devotion and has captured the hearts of millions of visitors. The most skilled craftsmen in the Mughal Empire were hired to craft this ornate structure, which is also the final resting place of the Shah himself.

The Taj Mahal is the most popular tourist attraction in India, so it is no surprise that it made it on the list of New Wonders. If you visit the Taj Mahal, we recommend arriving early in the morning to enjoy the ornamental gardens before the crowds descend. An obligatory photo sitting on ‘Princess Diana Bench’ is the most coveted souvenir for all who visit the Taj Maha

Norway is an ideal place to visit during the summer months, especially if you hope to escape the heat.

In fact, there's an entire museum dedicated to the town's architecture; the Art Nouveau Centre, or Jugendstilsenteret, explores how the people of Alesund rebuilt in this style after a devastating fire in 1904.

The town itself has plenty to do, from the Atlantic Ocean Park aquarium, where visitors can gaze at seals, penguins, fish and Norwegian crustaceans, to hiking to the top of Mount Aksla for the perfect photo op. It's also the perfect home base for visiting some of Norway's beautiful fjords, including the UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord, which can be visited by various boat and land cruises before returning to rest at the Mr & Mrs Smith-affiliated Hotel Brosundet, a former fisherman's warehouse.

Solo travel for women: Best cities to visit as a female traveler!

Solo travel for women is empowering, exciting and liberating. In fact, research shows more than 80% of solo travelers are female. Sometimes we could all do with a little alone time and traveling is the perfect way to indulge your interests. Whether you’re in search of a cultural journey or a gastronomic adventure, choosing the right destination to travel solo as a woman is important. Cities are eternally popular, since there’s always something to see, do, eat or experience. But do you know the best cities for solo female travelers?

Madrid, Spain

One of the best solo travel destinations for women, Madrid is not only safe, but it’s also home to all manner of sightseeing treasures. From the incredible masterpieces of the Prado Museum to the Baroque-era architecture and glorious Royal Palace. Furthermore, the Spanish capital is home to all kinds of galleries and museums, alongside upmarket shopping streets for a little retail therapy. When it comes to eating out, Madrileños tend to have their largest meal of the day at lunchtime. Therefore, solo travelers can enjoy causal lunchtime dining and hit the informal tapas bars of the capital at night. This can help to alleviate the eating alone worries that some travelers may have.

The capital has a large student population and a fantastic coffee culture, so you’ll have no problem finding a cosy cafe to relax in once you’re tired of sightseeing. A truly global city, there’s something for every kind of traveler here. Furthermore, Madrid is well connected with the rest of Spain, making day trips by train or car a breeze if you fancy exploring further afield

Lisbon, Portugal

Solo travel for women should be filled with all the best things in life. Sunshine, good food, beautiful architecture and friendly people. Boasting all of these things and more, Lisbon is the perfect destination for solo travel. From melancholic fado music to mouth-watering pastel de nata and magical Portuguese architecture, you’re going to want to get out and explore! We recommend staying in one of the central neighbourhoods of Barrio Alto, Cais do Sodré and Baixa Chiado where you can feel safe walking back to your hotel in the evenings and be close to all the top sights. Furthermore, getting around the city is a breeze. Lisbon has a metro system, historic tram lines, buses and taxis.

Vienna, Austria

With one of the lowest crime rates in the world, Vienna is a very safe place to travel solo. Furthermore, the city has more of a small-town feel than most capitals, with friendly locals and a laid-back nightlife scene. One for lovers of the arts, Vienna is famed for its classical music and rich cultural heritage. Travelers can easily spend an entire day or two at the MuseumQuartier, home to over 60 cultural institutions. Whether you’re into the works of the Flemish and Dutch masters or prefer 20th-century pop art, you can find it all here!

When it comes to navigating the city, bicycle hire is a great option, especially during the warmer summer months. Furthermore, Vienna also has a metro system, but most sights are within walking distance of each other. When it comes to eating, Austrian cuisine is simply delicious. The Viennese are also known for their cafe culture, which dates back hundreds of years. So, you’ll feel at home if you like a mid-afternoon coffee and slice of cake. For ultimate cosy vibes, visit during the winter for the Christmas Market season!

Tokyo, Japan

For a further-afield adventure, Tokyo tops the charts of the best cities to visit solo. Whilst you might be put off by the language barrier, travelers tend to find travel to Japan surprisingly easy and hassle-free. Everything is very organised and systematic, so you’ll soon get the hang of the metro system, supermarkets and eating out. Furthermore, going to dinner alone is considered completely normal in Japan, so you’ll never feel awkward taking yourself for an evening meal (and why should you?).

Traveling to Japan is all about immersing yourself in the local culture. Explore incredible temples, go shopping in the vibrant Harajuku district and hunt down the best sushi on the planet. Furthermore, the sheer number of things to see and do will keep you busy during your solo adventure. From themed cafes to idyllic city parks and interesting museums, Tokyo is a must for solo travelers!

10 Best Airlines For Business Class in 2024

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 15:00:00 GMT

10 Best Airlines For Business Class in 2024

10 Best Airlines For Business Class in 2024 with pictures of some of them

Qatar Airways (pictured)

Flying business class, you get to know the cream of the crop. And Qatar Airways has the awards to prove it: not only did it top the list of the world’s best airlines for business class at the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2023, but Qatar Airways’ business class has a whopping six styles of business class seat to choose from

British Airways

The UK’s flag carrier is known for its immaculate service and experienced flight attendants – every customer in its business class cabin is greeted by name and offered a glass of champagne as they board. The historic airline is also known for pairing with star chefs, premium champagne brands and cult British food and beverage companies for its upmarket business menu (afternoon tea is a real highlight).

Emirates (pictured)

An onboard bar is a perk you don’t see on every flight is a trip to a mile-high bar. And Emirates is one of a handful of airlines that have crafted these separate spaces with seating areas, for a sociable leg-stretch during long flights

Turkish Airlines

Turkey’s national carrier is known for its comprehensive network connecting east and west; and the business class experience is just as glamorous as you’d expect. Sculptural, curved black seating pods are well padded and feel spacious even for taller passengers. Turkish Airlines was awarded Best Business Class Catering for its onboard food and beverage in 2023

Singapore Airlines (pictured)

Known for its superb food and ever-smiling hospitality, Singapore Airlines is a carrier many business travels relish the thought of flying business class with. Its ‘Book the Cook’ feature means you can peruse a broad menu pre-flight and reserve your main course in advance; food is beautifully presented, while drinks include premium champagnes like Piper-Heidsieck.

Delta (pictured)

Often scooping the top spot when business travel bloggers rank the USA’s best business class experiences, Delta is a delight to fly in style.

Virgin Atlantic

Virgin adds a little extra insider factor to its business class by playfully naming it “Upper Class” – and in the absence of a First Class cabin, the airline’s business one does feel as deluxe as it gets. Disco-hued low lighting adapts to help you acclimate to time-zone changes; plush maroon-leather seats glide effortlessly to a flat bed, with generous, squishy bedding provided by the flight attendants

Cathay Pacific( pictured)

This Hong-Kong-based airline is one of Asia’s most luxe flying experiences; a business class fare here will buy you a few hours in the award-winning Aria Suite seat (launching in Q4, 2024) with a 24-inch widescreen TV you can connect to with Bluetooth. Business Traveler recently listed the new design as one of their 10 most anticipated business class cabins of 2024

ANA (All Nippon Airways pictured)

Those who know their airline loyalty points and global business routes all covet a seat on an ANA long-haul flight to Japan. Its seat design “The Room” has one of the most generous seating areas on the global business class landscape, with tons of storage space, a 24-inch movie screen and a sliding door to hide away behind.

Etihad

Back to the Arab Gulf for another deluxe business class cabin. Abu Dhabi’s home airline has been ahead of the game for some time when it comes to technology (wireless charging points, Bluetooth connection), inflight entertainment and seat innovations

The ‘Land of Ice & Fire’, Iceland truly shows its volcanic roots and natural beauty during the winter, so November is an ideal month to visit. Furthermore, daylight steadily decreases around this time, giving you a better chance of spotting the Northern Lights. And, if you’re really feeling the chill, you can always warm up in Iceland’s famous Blue Lagoon!

December: Germany

Germany in December is a Christmas wonderland! Gluhwein, Christmas Markets, ski resorts and sleigh rides are all up for grabs if you travel to Germany in December.

Involve Them in Planning:

Set Your Sights on the Seychelles

Set Your Sights on the Seychelles

Nature rules in this Indian Ocean oasis.

On the steep hillside below villas at Six Senses Zil Pasyon, the sole resort on the Seychelles island of Félicité, lush forest embraces granite monoliths, while a flying fox – its small, doglike face dwarfed by its enormous wingspan – glides gracefully through the breeze, alighting upside down on a branch to socialize with other megabats. The headlining act, however, takes place in the distance: As the persimmon-colored sun sets behind neighboring islands and thunderheads drift on- and offstage, bands of showers sweep across the horizon in wispy sheets.

Situated a few degrees shy of the equator in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are known for ribbons of loamy white sand spiked with the archipelago’s trademark pink boulders. The granite is a remnant of the lost continent of Gondwana, and in places the singular ecosystems and abundant endemic species inspire allusions to the Garden of Eden. This far-flung locale has some 100 islands to choose from, so the natural question is, where to start? Here are our some of our favorite spots.

Essential Stopover: Mahé

As the archipelago’s waypoint and home to 90 percent of its population, Mahé offers the largest and most convenient landing in the Seychelles. With peaks reaching into the clouds, it’s the one island where you’ll want to rent a car to explore – driving (and hiking) in precipitous Morne Seychellois National Park is a highlight, and there are dozens of beaches, many of them remote and undeveloped, that you’ll need transportation to enjoy. Highlights of the capital, Victoria, include Creole architecture and the National Museum of History, but make time for Kaz Zanana, which houses paintings by the Seychelles’ most famous artist, painter George Camille.

Stay

The striking former home of fashion photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri was reconceived mid-pandemic as the intimate, 41-room Mango House Seychelles. A pocket of sand sits tucked below the resort’s restaurants, while a convivial spirit thrives at its three pools. LTTravel Connection travelers receive private one-way transfers to or from the airport or cruise terminal, a bottle of Champagne on arrival, breakfast daily, and a $100 resort credit.

Indian Ocean Paradise: Praslin

Second largest of the Seychelles, Praslin is where Eden comparisons run rampant. Deep valleys bisect the beach- girdled island, most notably the Vallée de Mai, a compact nature reserve and UNESCO World Heritage designee that’s home to a primeval forest with the country’s six endemic palm species. Among them is the coco de mer, which rises more than 30 metres and bears the plant kingdom’s largest seed – up to 18 kilos – that’s shaped like a voluptuous woman’s derriere. Keep an eye out for the endangered Seychelles black parrot flitting between the fronds, and swim with frisky shivers of harmless juvenile lemon sharks at tranquil beaches.

Stay

Raffles Seychelles’ 86 villas are among the islands’ largest, sitting on a steep hillside overlooking Anse Takamaka beach. Four restaurants, a spa with 12 open-air treatment pavilions, and a robust kids’ program are among the resort’s numerous temptations.

Stay

Just 11 villas make up the Luxury Collection’s all-inclusive North Island resort, conceived by an African safari operator well versed in the light footprint of today’s eco-chic. Exclusivity and privacy have made it a celebrity favorite for honeymoons and reconnecting with nature through kayaking, diving, and communing with tortoises.

Stay

Thirty-three-villa Six Senses Zil Pasyon is Félicité’s one and only roost. Each of the one-bedroom pool villas feels as though it’s been uniquely molded into the rocks and vegetation; the spa is equally woven into the landscape, with five treatment rooms accessed via a swing bridge. Multibedroom private residences are available higher on the slopes.

Pangong Tso Lake, India is a bucket list that you probably never heard of.

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 16:00:00 GMT

Pangong Tso Lake, India is a bucket list that you probably never heard of.

It’s almost impossible to believe that you are in India when catching your first glimpse of this lake set 14,270 feet above sea level in the Tibetan Plateau. Pangong Tso Lake is one of the world’s highest saltwater lakes and its stunning turquoise waters stretch over 80 miles through India, China and Tibet. With Himalayan peaks rising up on all sides, the scenery is spectacular and the sunrises and sunsets unforgettable. It’s also a great place for spotting Brahmini ducks and black-necked cranes. Don’t be surprised to see yaks basking on the lakeshore, either. Pangong Tso Lake is a four hour from Leh, in the Jammu and Kashmir region.

Delta to launch premium economy service on NYC-LA flights in air travel

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 15:00:00 GMT

Delta to launch premium economy service on NYC-LA flights in air travel

Delta Air Lines will bring its premium economy service to transcontinental flights in September, its latest attempt to boost sales of higher-priced tickets to customers willing to splurge for more space and perks.

Premium economy is a relatively new class of service that major airlines offer on longer, mostly international flights. It sits between first or business class and the rest of economy and can command a ticket price often twice as much as standard coach.

The added service will start Sept. 10 on four of 11 peak-day flights between Los Angeles and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Boeing

767s. Delta said it plans to expand service later this year.

Delta customers who purchase standard economy tickets will be able to pay for upgrades to premium economy on the transcontinental flights.

Delta said Medallion elite members of its loyalty program, will be eligible for complimentary upgrades to so-called Delta Premium Select, but they will also be able to list for upgrades to its top-tier Delta One product on those flights.

Some of Delta’s planes flying some routes previously had premium economy seats on them, but the carrier wasn’t offering the service that comes along with it, like amenities kits, noise-canceling headphones, a full meal and a blanket. The seats were sold as extra legroom tickets, which are a rung below premium economy.

These Intimate Cruise Show Travelers the Best of French Polynesia and Beyond

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Paul Gauguin Cruises! Island-hop through the captivating Society Islands, swim beneath cascading waterfalls in Vanuatu, and discover tranquility at sea aboard an intimate small-ship. �� Paul Gauguin Cruises

With more than 25 years of experience cruising the islands of Tahiti and French Polynesia, it’s safe to say that Paul Gauguin Cruises knows the region well. And in this made-for-a-postcard corner of the world, embarking on a cruise is one of the best ways to chart the turquoise waters, witness the culture, and visit as many islands as possible. Bonus: Every night offers a new captivating sunset view from your stateroom balcony.

Overwater Bungalows and Honeymooners, Sure – but French Polynesia Packs in the Adventure Too

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 15:00:00 GMT

Overwater Bungalows and Honeymooners, Sure – but French Polynesia Packs in the Adventure Too

Where to surf, snorkel, and swim under the Tahitian sun.

Book in hand, mai tai tableside, and a bowl of fresh poisson cru delivered by outrigger canoe. Horizontal on the deck of an Eden-esque overwater bungalow – in a plumpy chaise lounge at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, in this case – lazing the day away in the South Pacific sunshine. A stingray here, a blacktip reef shark there, plus an unimpeded view of Mount Otemanu, an extinct volcano dipped in a tinge of green rising 2,385 feet above a translucent-blue lagoon.

French Polynesia is a dream getaway: idyllic, carefree, and the epitome of barefoot luxury. Few beach destinations, if any at all, can go toe to toe with the secluded island paradise – a collection of 118 islands and atolls scattered across five archipelagoes equal in size to western Europe – where newlyweds and holidaymakers jet off to for a languid week in the sun.

But French Polynesia, often called the Islands of Tahiti, is more than a romantic hot spot: It’s chock-full of outdoor thrills on both land and at sea. Come for the overwater bungalow, stay for the tropical adventure. From mountaintop ridgelines to vibrant coral reefs, this primer on outdoor activities – and the best islands to find them on – is sure to get your adrenaline going.

Snorkel with Black Tip Sharks in Bora Bora's lagoon.

Scuba Dive off Bora Bora

Pick an island, any island, in French Polynesia, and a surplus of diving awaits. With hues of blue that defy the color spectrum, Bora Bora’s ever-clear lagoon – dubbed “the Pearl of the Pacific” – is one of the world’s most stunning aquatic pools for which to strap on a pair of fins and a tank. Beneath the surface: more than 800 species of fish, hawksbill turtles, and a bounty of docile reef sharks. If you’re lucky, as I was on my private dive with the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, you might even spot a manta ray or two at Anau, the island’s most popular dive site. At the tail end of our 60-foot plunge, my dreadlocked French Polynesian guide signaled to me as a graceful, winged giant – and then another – swam overhead.

No scuba certification, no worries. Discover much of the same underwater playground by outrigger canoe on one of the 115-room resort’s daily snorkeling safaris.

Hike or ATV to Moorea’s Scenic Inland Heights

Moorea’s lush interior is a network of peaks, valleys, and vistas that feel as if they were plucked right out of Jurassic Park. Take the Opunohu Valley, for example, home to Mou’a Puta, one of the island’s tallest mountains, which requires a demanding seven- to nine-hour out-and-back hike to reach its 2,700-foot summit. For something less strenuous, Three Pines Pass and Three Coconuts Pass can be trekked in a few hours’ time and have great views of the island’s caldera. Add some action-packed adventure by hopping on an ATV for a quad tour through the center of Moorea’s volcano, splashing through muddy creeks, cruising across pineapple fields, and scaling Belvedere Point for a bird’s-eye panorama of Opunohu and Cook’s Bay.

Catch a Wave in Tahiti, the Birthplace of Surfing

Surfing in Tahiti runs deep. Ages ago, Polynesian royalty rode waves on wooden surfboards. In April, big-wave surfers will flock to Tahiti’s southwestern coast to take on its swell at the fearsome Teahupo’o, one of the world’s heaviest waves. Next up: Tahiti will host the Paris 2024 Olympic surfing competition, due to its status as a French overseas territory.

But travelers needn’t be pros to enjoy the waves – there are beginner-friendly breaks aplenty throughout French Polynesia. Virtuoso travel advisors can work with Tahiti Nui Travel to create a custom surf excursion, whether it’s to ride your first wave or test your skills on a pumping reef, the on-site tour connection has all skill levels covered. For a different type of surfing, there’s kiteboarding as well; the lagoon at Motu Nao Nao, a 75-acre private island off Raiatea, is an ideal location to test the stout South Pacific trade winds.

The Cape, a Thompson Hotel

The sun-drenched region at the Baja California Peninsula’s tip has two towns, collectively known as Los Cabos: Cabo San Lucas at Land’s End, known for its vibrant nightlife, and the more tranquilo art-gallery-speckled enclave of San José del Cabo.

Meet the Quiet Side of Mykonos

Wed, 29 May 2024 16:00:00 GMT

Meet the Quiet Side of Mykonos

From Mykonos Town, all eyes on the island’s nightly light show.

Beyond the Champagne-soaked beach clubs, this Greek isle is full of peaceful surprises.

It’s midnight, and a waxing moon floods golden light over Little Venice, a section of Mykonos’ Old Town named for its water’s-edge houses with brightly painted wooden balconies that jut out over the Aegean. I’m sitting on the terrace of one of my favorite bars, Caprice, sipping ouzo on the rocks, close enough to the sea to feel the occasional splash on my legs and taste salt on my lips.

The Cycladic island has pulled me back again and again since the summer of 1993, when Snap!’s “Rhythm Is a Dancer” was topping the charts and I was backpacking around Greece. Skipping off the Blue Star ferry back then, I immediately fell in love with the soft-focus days on the beach and never-ending nights at the clubs. No wonder Brigitte Bardot and Jackie Onassis holidayed here in the 1960s, I thought. The island’s reputation as a nonstop party – where strolling home barefoot at sunrise after a night of dancing is de rigueur – has only grown over the years.

This return to Mykonos, though, is less hedonistic, more healing. After a difficult year, I’m in search of some kind of life-affirming moment, hoping that the qualities that first enthralled me will provide the tonic needed to lift my spirits. I know there’s a quieter side to this party island, one that many of the cruise-ship day-trippers never get a chance to see. It’s there, maybe, that I’ll get what I’m looking for.

Botswana Safaris 101: Everything You Need to Know

Tue, 28 May 2024 15:00:00 GMT

Botswana Safaris 101: Everything You Need to Know

The best time to go, the most beautiful camps and lodges, and how to work with tour operator African Travel to make it all happen.

A Botswana safari is truly like no other. Just north of South Africa, sandwiched between Namibia and Zimbabwe, the landlocked country is one of the continent’s most biodiverse. The semi- arid Kalahari Desert covers some 70 percent of the land, while farther north, savanna game drives give way to aquatic expeditions in the palm-fringed canals of the Okavango River, which grows seasonally to form the 6,500-square-mile Okavango Delta.

Punctuated by centuries-old, towering baobab trees, vast swaths of fenceless wilderness cover much of Botswana – something the country has maintained, thanks to a history of championing conservation efforts and limiting development to low-density lodges. The eco-minded safari destination is also inclusive:

Because of its exclusivity, Botswana is an investment-grade safari.

Here, everything to consider before booking your Botswana safari.

A Botswana Safari Is Best for Explorers

Botswana offers a safari experience distilled to its essence: a means to explore the crowd-free wilderness from a comfortable but authentic base, while in the care of expert guides. It’s a destination for travelers seeking to disconnect and immerse themselves in life’s natural rhythms, whether they’re in the lush Okavango, the salt pans of the northeastern Makgadikgadi, or the central Kalahari’s sandy stretches. Diverse ecosystems – and scenic transfers via bush plane – ensure wonders never cease. It’s easy to spend an entire safari in Botswana alone, but the country’s convenient location means ours consultants can incorporate visits to neighboring destinations, such as Zambia and South Africa. A ten-day Zambia and Botswana itinerary, for example, begins with three days in Zambezi National Park before a stopover near Victoria Falls and three days of immersion in the Okavango Delta.

What to See: Wildlife-Rich Experiences

A series of national parks and reserves occupying nearly 40 percent of the country protect Botswana’s diverse ecosystems, ensuring that wildlife can migrate naturally. The world’s largest inland delta, the Okavango’s green oasis spreads across the Kalahari, swelling and ebbing with the seasons to create a watery wilderness supporting more than 120 species of mammals, including Africa’s “big five” – lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and Cape buffalo – as well as more than 440 species of birds. Elsewhere in the Kalahari, encounters with black-maned lions, dazzling starry skies, and the Indigenous San people highlight time spent in the desert.

Botswana is home to the world’s highest concentration of elephants – some 120,000 – which reside in northwestern Chobe National Park, where travelers can watch the pachyderms bathe while also keeping an eye out for Africa’s big cats, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs. At the Makgadikgadi Pans – a former lake that evaporated thousands of years ago, leaving behind the world’s biggest salt-pan area – charismatic meerkats attract transiting zebras and wildebeests (followed by their predators) during the continent’s second-largest migration.

Where to Stay: Botswana’s Best Safari Lodges

Sprinkled among the reserves, Botswana’s remote, solar-powered luxury camps provide unparalleled access to the wilderness without sacrificing comfort or style – at prices that ensure privacy. On 11-day Botswana-centric itinerary, travelers stay at the legendary Jack’s Camp in the Makgadikgadi Pans, which is home to just nine tented suites, each with their own plunge pool and indoor and outdoor showers. There, excursions range from close encounters with meerkats to quad biking and walks and talks with Indigenous Zu/San people.

That same itinerary also spends time in the Okavango Delta, where the 12 suites at Xigera Safari Lodge appear to float above the surrounding lagoons. Guests soak up wildlife from verandas, over-water walkways, open-air dining pavilions, and even a lap pool. Spend an evening stargazing at the camp’s communal campfire or spring for a private overnight in the remote but refined tree house that’s perched 30 feet above the floodplain.

The Best Time to Visit Botswana

A Botswana safari shifts with the seasons. Water peaks in the Okavango Delta from May to October, attracting herds of elephants, buffalo, and their predators. During the green summer season, between November and April, travelers can catch up to 25,000 zebras and wildebeests migrating through the Makgadikgadi Pans and Nxai Pan national parks.

Why You Need a Passport for Any Cruise Leaving the U.S.

Thu, 16 May 2024 13:30:00 GMT

Why You Need a Passport for Any Cruise Leaving the U.S.

While some cruises departing from and returning to the U.S. may indicate that a birth certificate and driver's license are acceptable identification, we strongly advise all guests to travel with a valid passport book. I'm still trying to figure out why some cruise lines say you can use a birth certificate and driver's license for closed-loop cruises, but I advise you to only travel with a valid passport and make sure that it's valid for six months after your return date.

The Risks of Using Only Birth Certificates and Driver's Licenses

Guests who miss allaboard time in a Mexican port and wish to rejoin the ship in the next Mexican port will be required to present a passport. In addition, the guest will be required to pay a visa fee and a possible fine and cover the cost of transportation to the following port. Furthermore, if the guest fails to present a passport, the guest must obtain permission from the Immigration department to travel to the next port of call without a passport.

Guests who miss all-aboard time at the ship’s scheduled U.S. departure port and need to travel outside the U.S. to embark the ship at the next scheduled port of call will be required to present a passport to leave and/or re-enter the U.S. by air.

Guests who unexpectedly need to disembark the ship from a foreign port before the end of sailing due to an emergency must present a passport to leave and/or re-enter the U.S. by air.

The same applies to all foreign cruise ports, not just those in Mexico. A Passport Should Be Considered Essential and not an option.

While a cruise line may indicate birth certificates or driver's licenses are okay, situations can pop up where a passport becomes mandatory. Rather than risk major inconveniences and expenses, we recommend treating a valid passport as an essential document for all cruises with international ports. The relative hassle of getting one is minor compared to the hassles you may face without one.

How to Summer in the Swiss Alps

How to Summer in the Swiss Alps

For adventure, wellness, and family fun, make the town of Davos your home base.

Every winter, travelers from all over the world venture to Graubünden – Switzerland’s largest and easternmost canton – to take advantage of the Swiss Alps’ iconic ski resorts, snowcapped peaks, and decadent, fondue-laden après-ski scene. And while the region and its alpine villages – including Chur, Saint Moritz, and Davos, a town nestled sky-high in the Landwasser Valley – sparkle in winter, that’s not the only season worth planning a trip around.

“While I love its winter activities, travelers shouldn’t skip Davos in the summer,” says LTTravel Connection. “The town has charming hotels and great restaurants and cafés. And the surrounding Graubünden area is truly a fairy-tale land, with dramatic landscapes and storybook villages.”

For a centrally located home base, settle in the charming and friendly town of Davos to soak up the best of Graubünden. Here, summertime teems with activities for travelers seeking exhilarating adventures, serene wellness, or all-ages amusement. Before you go: “Be sure to learn the word Grüezi," Williamson says. “It’s the informal greeting given to everyone you meet in Graubünden.”

Its capital city of Honolulu seemingly offers beautiful coastlines with white sand beaches and unparalleled surfing opportunities—as well as a bustling cosmopolitan scene featuring international shopping, dining, and urban adventures. Visit Waikiki to explore some of the most famous sands in the world, or hike Leahi, also known as “Diamond Head,” which is an easy bus ride from Waikiki, to soak in panoramic views of Honolulu after a moderately challenging trail route toward the sky.
