The UK travel business is booming, especially in the capital city. The recent focus of recruitment for travel company jobs in London reflects the changing tastes and dreams of travelers, whether business or pleasure, foreign or domestic. Here we look in more detail at three roles which all have a different focus yet share one common thread - they are all some of the top trending travel company jobs in the city.

We’ve cruised on some of the world’s great rivers; the Nile, Australia’s Murray and China’s Yangtze - and, most recently, on the Danube and the Rhine. They’re as different to each other as river cruising is to ocean cruising; there’s just no comparison.

Even the ships are different. The Murray Princess was a stern-wheel paddle boat, the Egyptian boats usually have internal paddle wheels, and were reputed to be able to sail on a heavy dew. Our European ship had external, steerable pods; whether or

In upstate New York, right near the state capital Albany, Schenectady has a long heritage of commerce and industry dating back to Dutch traders, and later when the Erie Canal and the city's strategic location at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers made it a thriving trade port. Evidence of this early prosperity abounds in the Stockade Historic District, the oldest residential neighborhood in the United States. Walking the streets is like stepping back in time with whole blocks of orig

Traditional cookware is particular in each region of the world, because each has its own climate, and that affects methods of food preparation. In Africa, somewhere around 700 million individuals depend on customary biomass -, for example, wood and charcoal - for cooking, a lot of the utensils in the area are intended to withstand open fires and longer cooking time. So earthen cookware allow for more gradual cooking, enabling women to

Colombia‘s capital continues its march apace as a hotbed of creativity, dynamism, and excitement – and Exhibit A is its Macarena neigbourhood, tucked amid the gentle hills of the eastern part of Bogotá, and sporting the vibe of a cool and charming little village.

Off the main avenues, streets here are lined with colourful façades, many of these buildings dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, with nearby landmarks including the 105-year-

Who hasn't heard about the nightlife in Ibiza? People partying until the morning, the sun beautifully shining above the crystal-clear water – all the elements of this mesmerizing place make people add it to their travel journal in an instant. Even though Ibiza is mostly known for the wild parties that last two days and nights in a row, this island is one described by contrasts. If you’re just looking for a relaxing morning, enjoying sunbaths next to beautiful palm trees and calm waters, a hol

Traveling to a foreign country is never easy. You have to deal with language barriers, cultural differences, communication problems and airline hassles, and of course you don't know your way around. Your business trip to Dubai doesn't have to be a stressful experience, however, if you prepare in advance.

When to Go

Dubai weather is sometimes unpredictable, and most people won't schedule a business trip during the summer months. You are better off planning your trip for the late fall and ear

Jaipur, dubbed the Pink City, is the capital of Rajasthan state, and it's the cultural capital of India. Along with Delhi and Agra, Jaipur also is a key pillar of the "Golden Triangle" of India tourism, and serves as a gateway to other tourist destinations in Rajasthan, such as Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur. With its vibrant colours, culture and the city’s historic monuments that boast of its glorious past, chivalry and valour of Rajput kings, Jaipur has become one of the top tourist destinatio

If you have never been in a submarine gliding silently and effortlessly along a coral wall teeming with marine life, you are in for a big treat. The US-Coast-Guard-approved Atlantis XI is a 65-foot long battery-powered submersible specially designed for underwater sightseeing adventures in tropical waters –– and where better than the Cayman Islands, with some of the clearest waters in the world.

The boat has a 48-passenger capacity, is air-conditioned, pressurized, and is clean and comfortable. L

Located in Saitama prefecture, just a half hour north of Tokyo via Tobu Tojo Railway, the city of Kawagoe (pop. 351,000) is a former merchant town whose old quarter's architecture includes a number of centuries-old wooden buildings such as its iconic Toki no Kane belltower (top), once used by locals to tell time (though the current version dates from 1893, rebuiding the 400-year-old original after the "Great Kawagoe Fire."

Sometimes in tragedy we find our life's purpose.

"Dark tourism"  destinations may not be the easiest and happiest places to visit, but the footfall of tourists registered at such spots is growing by the day. Travelers sometimes include places associated with human tragedy, suffering, and death in their itinerary mainly due to their historical significance. In this post I'll be discussing three such sites in the US that have been attracting a large number of tourists from all corners of the wo

I met the Argentine Zapp Family - made up of Herman, Candelaria and their four children, who for 17 years traveled around the world in a vintage car - in Barcelona, where they'd come to kick off their travel through Spain for several months as part of their journey through Europe, where they planned to put an end to their adventure by the end of 2017.

The family planned to travel to Spain until spring before embarking on a trip to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy and Greece, the last s

Today is World Turtle Day again, and for me that brings to mind how, in a world chock full of amazing natural phenomena, few if any that I have witnessed have moved me more than the bond that giant marine turtles have with the beaches where they were born. Every year, female sea turtles make their way hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles back to lay their eggs on these same beaches, and that time of year has arrived up and down Central America – varyin

Argentina‘s second largest city (pop. 1.3 million) is definitely a change of pace from Buenos Aires. While the country’s capital impresses with its imposing buildings and the pace and trappings of a major world city, Córdoba, smack in the centre of the country some 700 kilometres (435 miles) northwest of B.A., does so in a gentler, more laid-back way, with colonial elegance and provincial charm.

The story of the southwest African country of Angola‘s only remaining nature and wildlife park, along the Atlantic coast just 70 kilometres (42 miles) south of capital Luanda, is an extraordinary one – a story of birth, death, and rebirth that can sirve as an inspiration in these increasingly environmentally fraught times.

The game-hunting reserve originally founded in 1938 under the then colonial administration of Portugal, the 9,960 square km (3,845 sq. mi.) that in 1957 was

No other place but Dublin could combine all facets of Ireland’s multidimensional culture with the contemporary image of a capital city. A picturesque stroll from Ha’penny Bridge to the Liffey river, a visit to the Guinness Storehouse brewery and a night coloured with folkore sounds is enough to convince anyone. For a taste of the local rhythm, take one of the Glendalough walks and admire the Upper and Lower lakes, watch a performance at the Abbey, Gate and Gaiety Theaters and get to know the Cel
