Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk district is home to one of the Indian capital's oldest and busiest markets - as well as the country's busiest wholesale market - dating back to the 17th century. It's a colorful, raucous mix of shoppers both local and international browsing and buying from vendors offering an enormous range of products from household goods to art, handicrafts, and souvenirs. It's a singular (and highly Instagrammable) exemplar of Indian lifestyle and culture that's

On the shores of Lake Chuzenji, away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo in the Tochigi Prefecture is Nikko; a national treasure filled with natural beauty and important UNESCO World Heritage sites. Its literal translation means “sunlight” so it’s no wonder the Japanese flock here to spend their holidays with its national forests, waterfalls, and hot springs.

As concern for our shared global biosphere rises, many are taking it to heart when it comes to travel, as well. Along with booming ecotourism, both providers and consumers in the travel and tourism sector are looking to promote tourism that's "sustainable" - a trendy buzzword, for sure, but one that simply means striving to minimise as much as possible any negative impacts on our increasingly beleaguered environment whilst allowing visitors to enjoy and learn more about it. And today

Some people fly without difficulty. When their plane drops in turbulence, stress hormones are triggered by their brain just as in the brain of a person whose nerves get jangled. The person who flies easily regulates the stress hormones – and the effects of the stress hormones – automatically and unconsciously.

The anxious flier, lacking automatic regulation, tries to regulate intentionally. When stress hormones are released, the person must prove what triggered the hormones is be

Kinsale: Jewel of Ireland's South Coast

9009419066?profile=original

With its deep water harbour and a population of a bit over 5,200, the town of Kinsale in County Cork has been an important sea port for more than 1,500 years. St Multose founded a monastery here in the 6th century, and the early Celtic settlement that grew up around the estuary was later supplanted by a Viking trading post. The Normans fortified the town in the 13th century, and over the next 200 years it developed as a centre for fishing and shipbuilding.

Travel isn’t always a bed of roses. There are natural disasters, tainted products, bad actors, data breaches, regional and global viruses, and events big and small that require industries to step up, speak up, and do whatever it takes to care of their employees and customers. 


As the coronavirus outbreak tops 156,000 cases and 5,820 deaths in some 145 countries (at the time of this writing), it’s an appropriate time to offer advice on how to handle an industry crisis.

They fly through the air with the greatest of ease, these Totonac "bird men" re-enacting ancestral traditions in their home town of Papantla, located on forested hills a four-hour drive or one-hour flight from Mexico City in this country's northern Totonacapán region of Veracruz state (it's four hours by bus from the city of Veracruz).
