Wake up, Cuba: The Dominican Republic may be stealing your business. While your tourism numbers were flat for 2012, visits to the D.R. were up almost 6%, and travel from the United States leaped 14%.
Why?
First, let's look at what made the D.R. rock even before this surge:
- Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Samana, and other areas of the Dominican Republic offer some of the most affordable beach resorts in the Caribbean. And contrary to stereotypes, the choices are not limited to mass-market all-inclusi
The Canaries are a delightful adventure of the best activities, beaches, culture and cuisine.
It is highly likely that once you’ve been on a holiday to the Canaries, you may be tempted just to set up permanent camp at one of the amazing beach resorts. Do so, but, but make sure you don’t miss to roll around the vast dunes of Gran Canaria‘s Maspalomas, enjoy the waterfalls of the delightful Los Tiles bioreserve on La Palma.

By Angie Picardo
with Kaleel Sakakeeny
As Airbnb says, "Find a Place to Stay."
And with participants in 34,183 cities in 192 countries, it's small wonder that the site has become the "go to place" for places to stay. And what may make the popular short term rental site even more popular, is its clever inclusion of neighborhood guides for cities all around the world, just in case a traveler is unsure where to travel to.

The mention of coral reefs usually brings to mind crystal-clear, warm tropical waters, bright colorful fish and coral … maybe even the movie, "Nemo." Coral reefs form such vast, diverse ecosystems that they are commonly called the "rainforests of the oceans."
Like the rainforests on land, coral reefs are extremely threatened by humans' actions and climate change. Since the late 1970s, coral reefs across the world have been dying at an unprecedented rate, and it only seems to be getting worse, acc
One of my favourite places visited on my recent trip to South Africa was Grootbos Nature Reserve.
I was expecting a very rustic lodge type property with basic service and how I was wrong! Grootbos is set within a 23 hectare Milkwood forest and it is stunning. It was originally a farm with some decrepit outbuildings subsequently bought by a Capetonian for a ‘project’ in the 90s and it has grown since then.
The first thing you notice is its very modern building hidden within the thick forest and the

Today, lots of tourists in Vietnam travel have been being attracted to this place because of its marvelous landscapes and considerate services.
In 1773, Mr. Nguyen Nghiem (the father of the great writer Nguyen Du) visited this cave. After viewing the whole scenery of the mountains, waterways, fields, and sky
Kim Boi, one of the districts of Hoa Binh province, is said to be granted with a natural hot spring by the Nature. The hot spring is now a tourist spot which “can-not-be-ignored” if staying in Hoa Binh. Putting aside all the tensions and troubles of life, tourists will feel relax and comfortable when soaking themselves in Kim Boi Hot Spring.
The mineral water continually spouts from the fountains, normally between 340C and 360C. According to some scientific tests, Kim Boi water resources are qual

My front door is starting to stick. The kitchen cupboards under the sink now won't close, and my bedroom door is suddenly dragging across the floor tile. Is my house in need of repair? No, it's just rainy season in Costa Rica.
In the tropics, water and humidity play a major role in daily life. For us in Costa Rica, rain affects everything from drinking water supply to growing food, maintaining our forests and vegetation, and our electricity generated by hydroelectric power. Not quite so obvious,
Tropical forests cover 15% of the globe's surface and capture 25% of the carbon present in the atmosphere. These healthy forests play a critical role in curbing climate change. They "breathe" CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in trees and soil; in fact, roughly half of the world's terrestrial carbon is stored in forests, according to the international organization Conservation International.
Costa Rica is the first, and so far the only, tropical country in the world that has reversed a decades
