In 1992, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the International Day of Cooperatives to be celebrated annually on the first Saturday of July.
The aim of this International Day is to Increase awareness on cooperatives, highlight the complementarily of the goals and objectives of the United Nations and the international cooperative movement;
Underscore the contribution of the movement to the resolution of the major problems addressed by the United Nations is strengthen and extend partnershi

Damage from spring 2016 floods forced the closing of the Greenbrier Resort, a West Virginia classic that has hosted boldface names since the early 1800s. On July 12 it reopened, so it's worth noting that this place is not just about the presidents who've stayed there or the golf or other sports; it's also home to what was one of the greatest secrets of the Cold War.

If the Soviet Union had attacked Washington, D.C., any time between 1962 and 1992 – if the Cold War had turned into a hot war –

We hiked along that endless, featureless tunnel through the mountain to a back entrance that could accommodate large vehicles. Retracing our steps, we eased into a claustrophobic, blue-tiled decontamination center (second photo), where personal belongings of arriving Congressmen – clothes, wallets, weddings rings – would have been confiscated and burned. Next, the lawmakers, havin

As the authors of It Happened in Miami, our adventures in interviewing took us all over the area. We thought we had seen it all. However, we never got around to experience Metropolitan by COMO and its Traymore restaurant, a sweet and serene spot close by the just above the historic Art Deco District almost tucked away off Collins Avenue on 24th street.

Now we had the experience. We were able to tour briefly the splendid property and dine unhurriedly at its

King Palace, Jaipur, Rajasthan by Devanath

Jaipur, the capital and the largest city of Rajasthan, is one of the most vibrant destinations in India. The Pink City, famed for its salmon-hued sandstone buildings, is the land of palaces, lakes, maharajas and alluring architecture. Despite its rich history, a distinct population that seems to grow larger with each passing day, and some of the country’s most traditional bazaars, the modern Jaipur may come across as an overwhelming metropolis with some

“In 1989, the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended that 11 July be observed by the international community as World Population Day, a day to focus attention on the urgency and importance of population issues. This year’s theme is ‘Investing in teenage girls.’” Informed Sandeep Marwah Ambassador of International Human Rights Organization affiliated to United Nations at Marwah Studios.

During your trip planning your attention will inevitably turn to the “Big Things”, like must-see places, ‘top 10’ experiences and UNESCO world heritage sites. This was a natural focus for me as well.

These major sights are easier to find information about, easier to plan for, and easier to get excited about. In researching Southeast Asia you may have already built up some expectations for places like Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, Angkor Wat in Cambodia or Koh Phi Phi in Thailand.

Located in one of the top tourist spots in the southern part of the region, Vanilla Garden Tenerife is a hotel that is built with traditional architecture. This is in imitation of the typical building style of the Canary Islands homes consisting of gabled roofs and wooden balconies. The Vanilla Garden includes a landscaped courtyard with balconies facing the garden which gives tourists the feeling of being in a canary village.

This month of July has not been an easy one in the world, and especially in the world of tourism.  Until recently, tourism oriented nations experienced one or another form of crisis on a tri or bi-monthly or monthly basis.  During the last few weeks, the crise du mois seems to have become the crise de la semaine (crisis of the week).

 
During the last few weeks, the Middle East, especially Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and the Asian sub-continent have witnessed an upsurge of violence.

Club 21 – The World’s Classiest Saloon

By Myrna Katz Frommer & Harvey Frommer

Many were the times that we walked down West 52^nd Street and stopped to admire the row of 32 jockeys in jaunty stance and colorful riding habit lining the staircase and wrought iron balcony of the townhouse with the number 21 emblazoned on its marquee. Intrigued we may have been, yet never once did we venture inside. Isn’t that the place where President Nixon used to dine whenever he came to town, we always thought, wher

Tel Aviv’s Shenkin Hotel: In a Class by Itself

We had spent a couple of months in Tel Aviv, but had spent very little time in the center of this bustling city. Most of our days and nights had been spent interviewing for our new book IT HAPPENED IN ISRAEL (2017). So we decided to take a couple of days off. The decision was an intelligent one

A flight to Amsterdam from the UK will take you to a city which is recognised among Europe’s most admired city break destinations. One of the greatest small cities in the world, the capital of the Netherlands is waiting for tourists like you with her arms wide open only to embrace you all over.

Well, I would consider Mariya Marh (who else but me) a fortunate bloke who was able to manage somehow the best deal on cheap flights to Amsterdam he’s been after. If I were to tell you that I bagged the mo

Fishing as a recreational sport is fun. Sitting in the boat or by the side of the lake for hours to catch a fish and enjoying the scenic beauty is a delight to the eye. The view is a complete picnic in itself and requires nothing else. You get to notice many things in the process of catching a fish. You get to see the changing colors of the sky, chipping of the birds, shades of the leaves, silence of water and a lot more.

Fishing is not easy. You need to be well aware of the techniques, if you h

Have you ever considered a vacation rental property?

HomeAway, AirBandB, FlipKey, and VRBO are some of the most popular sites for booking holiday rental properties.

It makes a perfect option when friends and relatives assemble for a wedding or some other event and when traveling with a group.
