Cave diving in Mexico is a wonderful experience combining underwater diving with the exploration of cave systems that date back eons. In Sistema Sagitario evidence can still be seen of human remains and previous rock movements that tell a story of who lived here before the caves were flooded.

A recent ceremony was held to ensure that local guides were aware of the work that the archaeologists and explorers are doing in order for them not to disturb the closed parts of the dive sites that are cur

Most skiers and snowboarders don’t associate Germany with skiing. But in fact there are no fewer than 293 ski resorts in Germany. Almost half are in Bavaria, including Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the only one of true international acclaim.

Outside Bavaria, Germany’s other winter sport spots are in places like the Harz Mountainsand the Black Forest. They’re small and can’t really be compared with the resorts of the Alps, but many are a good option if you

In few countries are the goings on of All Hallow’s Eve such a big deal as in the United States, with various cities large and small pulling out all the stops in their public celebrations. Yes, the kids have their door-to-door “trick or treating” for candy, but it seems many adults have made the holiday even more their own – kind of a version of Carnival, in which costumes come on and inhibitions come off.  And visiting one of the cities on October 31 where Hallowee

Traveling is fun and fascinating, but also a production, especially when it comes to bringing the essentials. And in the run-up to any trip, proper preparation is essential. This may seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to forget key items. That's why drawing up a packing list is an excellent idea, starting with the following: .

Basic clothing, accessories and gadgets travel packing list

A trip to incredible India is incomplete if one fails to pay a visit to its most iconic landmark- Taj Mahal. located in the royal city of Agra, and one of the most enchanting monuments in the world. Built in the year 1631 by the great Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, this exceptionally beautiful memorial still quite successfully manages to retain its former glory, magnificence and grandeur. It is due to the stated reasons that an increasing number of travellers from all across the globe every year to

When we travel the world, we come face to face with history, some grand, and some that we would wish away if we could. This article is about the great stain on European history referred to as the Holocaust. There are many recorded stories about Holocaust horrors, and you may not be familiar with this one – we weren’t – until we came across a simple, poignant memorial.

The virgin and harsh beauty of Icelandic nature is really fascinating. It is true, here there is something to see: powerful waterfalls, active volcanoes, geysers (springs, periodically throwing out hot thermal water and steam, one of the manifestations of vulcanism), giant glaciers. Well, the natural beauty of the island is supplemented with the existence of various animals and birds.

Let’s have a closer look at the various fauna of Iceland. One can see arctic foxes, reindeer, mink and mouse li

There are excellent reasons northern California‘s “City by the Bay” is one of America’s most storied cities (if far from its most typical). Born as a colonial Spanish mission and fort on the tip of a peninsula, San Francisco was transformed by the gold rush of the 19th century; spectacularly flattened by the Great Earthquake in the early 20th; home of the 1960s “Summer of Love“; and in the 21st, once again reinvented as the pre-eminent world capital of high tech. This is an enterta

The famous French phrase: “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose” (the more things change the more they are the same) is a good starting point for tourism product development. Often what is old becomes new, and what we see as innovative was always right before our eyes.  Some basic principles of tourism product development are that “every community has a unique tale to tell, we just have not yet uncovered it”.  Another key factor is: “Be who you are, do not be what you are not”.  Fin

Formerly a colony of Portugal until it was handed back to China in 1999, this city spread against a backdrop of green hills over several islands, with a population of just over 705,000, is a Chinese special administrative on the Pearl River, just 60 kilometres from Hong Kong (making it an easy day trip, by the way). One of world’s more densely populated areas, Macau is best known and is known as Asia´s biggest gambling mecca. Besides the casinos which dominate the skyline (top), it´s is also k

To see something unusual and impressive in Barcelona or in Rome is almost impossible. We know too much about these cities. Nevertheless, we still found some interesting and at the same time, non-touristic places near one of the most famous cities in the world, Athens, and we are happy to tell you about them.

Here is the list of top 7 places, which are not so famous, but very beautiful.

Volcanoes – there’s something just incredibly compelling about them and the primal forces they represent, isn’t there? The western side of Central America‘s most volcanic country is lined with some 18, both extinct and active – in fact, one of Nicaragua‘s nicknames is “Land of Lakes and Volcanoes”. Several of these make great hikes (and in a couple of cases, you can practically drive right up to them).

I’ve been privileged have spent years exploring them as

There are times when staying at a historic hotel goes beyond being ensconced in solid construction and ornate architecture that can never be replicated in today's world. At Marriott Syracuse Downtown, a grand dame that opened in this upstate New York city in fall 2016 after a $76-million renovation, checking in palpably connects you to its historic significance as well as remarkable rebirth. Of the nearly 260 attentive staff working here, more than half come from nearby inner-city neighborhoods

Furmint is Hungary’s answer to other less mainstream white wines gaining prominence lately, such as Austria’s Grüner Veltliner. Most widely grown in the Tokaj-Hegyalja Wine Region, this white grape variety's name is derived from the word froment (wheat-gold color). Although traditionally used in dessert wines, Furmint is figuring more prominently in a growing array of single-varietal dries.

A great standard bearer of this trend is Patricius Winery, run by Dezso Kékessy and daughter Katinka Kékess

In the wake of hurricanes Irma and Maria, the Caribbean Tourism Development Company classifies each island nation as either Open for Business or Road to Recovery. The first category is the big one; as Caribbean Hotel & Travel Association president Karolin Troubetzkoy reminded me at a mid-October travel industry meeting, "27 Caribbean countries are open for business," and that certainly includes the Turks & Caicos.

Damage to TCI's eight inhabited islands was minimal, and, of course, that eight in
