It ain’t about the cost, it’s about experiencing a slice of history.       

I have filched this quote from a very famous tour guide book which shall remain nameless:

“A buzzer sounds, you bolt for the gangplank. A whistle blows, the Star Ferry chugs forward. This vehicle carrying you belongs to a fleet of legendary ferries that plies passengers between Kowloon and Hong Kong. At only US$0.30, the ride, with its views of skyscrapers and tenements against a backdrop of jungle-clad hills, must be

Does this sound like fun?

The winners of the “Delicious La Jolla Getaway” will stay in a beautiful vacation rental in San Diego’s favorite coastal neighborhood for at least three nights.

Residents of La Jolla, 12 miles from downtown San Diego, enjoy good food, California wine, and local craft beer – and really know how to have fun. The winners are going to "live like the locals" while they're in town.

The “delicious” prize includes:

• a scenic flight over the San Diego coast with Icon Helicopters
• lodg

¡Horror! ¡Está nevando o está helado! ¿Ponemos cadenas a los aviones? Pues no, hasta ahí no se llega =).  Lo que sí se hace es pasar los aviones por los equipos de deshielo para retirar los restos de nieve, escarcha o hielo, un proceso necesario para que puedan volar con todas las garantías.

¿En qué consiste? ¿Cómo funcionan esos equipos de deshielo?

La temporada de deshielo en España va del 1 de noviembre hasta el 31 de marzo. El equipo de deshielo consta de unos camiones, que llevan incorpora

If you’re looking for a sales job in travel, now might be the time to approach Facebook.

The giant social media site is on a mission to elbow its way further into the travel space and has been reorganizing its sales force.

As HotelMarketing reports Facebook has been recruiting for travel sales representatives as it looks to turn travel, one of its fastest growing verticals, in to one of its biggest. Next year, 2014, is the target year.

All those images, and stories and happy travelers’ tales 

If beach weddings are for you then Barbados is the perfect location. Barbados has so many beautiful locations ideal for a wedding. You can choose either a daytime ceremony for yourself and your guests to happily bask in the glorious sunshine, or opt for a dream sunset wedding.

Barbados is a very popular wedding resort and booking must be done well in advance especially if you plan on booking peak season, particularly August as many options and packages had already sold out upon my investigations.

Morocco may not be the first country that comes to mind when contemplating the world's greatest wine regions. But despite its large Islamic population, Morocco has historically been a prolific wine producing country. As far back as 2,500 years ago, this part of North Africa completed an arc of wine growing regions spanning the Mediterranean weaving through Italy, Greece, Turkey.

Truth be told, Morocco saved France's ass during the late 19th century phylloxera devastation. French growers immigrate

Tuscany in the fall. You just can’t beat it. Long gone are the hordes of summer tourists from around the world, who travel in the height of season. It does get dark early and the weather is not balmy, however, in the fall you can live life as it was meant to be, meeting locals when the pace is slower.

I came to view the burnt orange colors of sunsets, drive through the rolling hills, eat in gastronomic heaven in small restaurants off the beaten path, and visit medieval villages. Tuscany speaks t

Small country located in the northwest corner of South America, crossed by the line that carries the same name: the Equatorial Line (0° 0 ' 0 " ), which divides the world into the northern and southern hemisphere.

The effects of ocean currents to what it is exposed and its location on the planet, provide particular characteristics to its territory. That is why, unlike Peru for example, the coast is warm but full of vegetation while in the country of th

Hau Hin is a beach town 3 hours south of Bangkok by bus which offer foreigners everything Bangkok has to offer but in a concentrated area - a narrow town only a couple of kilometers wide at its widest.  

The bus to Hau Hin from Bangkok's southern bus terminal  runs near every hour and the bus station offers a variety of food options while you wait for your bus  to load (10 minutes before departing).  Just recently It has become either illegal or socially unacceptable to drink alcohol on the bus

Brunei, tucked into the big island of Borneo is the last Malay Sultanate which visibly expresses its proud history through magnificent mosques and traditional water villages. Bev Malzard listed a tourist plan then ticked the boxes as she went along.

1. Land in Brunei after only a six and a half hour flight from Melbourne.
2. Visit a stunningly beautiful mosque, the Jame ‘Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque which is the largest in the land. There are four main minarets and two golden (yes, real gold leaf) do

I'm not a travel hacker, not really. I enjoy the places, not the interfaces. And traveling in coach is just fine with me, thanks. As a matter of fact, I do much of my traveling BY coach—bus, that is. I went all over Mexico and Central America before I ever crossed an ocean thirty-five years ago. And the only time I've ever flown first class was when they bumped me up for free. Now don't get me wrong: I'm an avid collector of frequent-flyer miles, but I'd have to have an awful lot before I'd wast

The year 2013 may be known as a year of travel insecurity. From airline crashes to cruise ships, international events and alerts around the world, along with terrorism threats should serve to remind all of us, that travel is never without risks.  Although no one can guarantee total safety, and the tourism industry continually works to improve its security, there is and there will always be an element of risk.  Furthermore, no matter how much security is provided, it is still the traveler's perso

I met a woman and her husband in the airport recently, while we were waiting to board our flight out of Costa Rica. They were tanned and relaxed, and had been enjoying the country’s beaches and rainforest … all for free! They had won a work contest to sell the most furniture for their company and earned the free incentive trip. This was actually the couple’s second year in a row to win – last year they went on a cruise to Mexico.

This is pretty ingenious – sell a lot of products for your company,
