As the travel rebound continues, there are signs that two very different American travelers are emerging, that is according to the latest Portrait of American Travelers study from MMGY Global. According to the research, which took the pulse of 4,500 adult Americans for its Fall edition, there is a population of Americans who are being impacted by stubborn, rampant inflation. Then, there are the Baby Boomers and higher-income households who will more than likely keep traveling despite rising prices. This population will actually look to increase their spending over the next year. According to MMGY’s research, the percentage of Americans who plan to take a vacation over the next six months is 63%, a number that represents a 10-point decrease compared to the same time last year. Almost half of the travelers who said that they aren’t planning on traveling in the next six months (40%) said that they are making that decision, not because of a lack of time or desire to travel, but rather be

Starting this Saturday, October 1, 2022, visitors to Korea are no longer required to undergo PCR testing upon arrival. The announcement was made on Friday by the health authorities in South Korea, keeping in mind the gradual decline in infections in the country.

“ Bon dia! ” Louella Brezovar says in greeting, which mean “Good Day!” in Papiamento, Aruba’s native language. Brezovar grew up in Aruba before setting out on an international career in hospitality (now in its impressive 34 th year) that eventually brought her back to her homeland. She joined The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba team seven years ago as the Casino General Manager, quickly earning a promotion to become the hotel’s manager, a job she executes with style worthy of the resort itself. More than half of Aruba’s visitors are frequently visitors and she knows why. This 21-mile-long island, one of four countries that comprise the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is nothing less than a sublime place to vacation. “We have a combination of irresistible factors including a year-round, reliable climate of between 74 and 84 degrees, always-comfortable trade winds, and we’re outside of the Caribbean’s ‘hurricane alley,’” says Brezovar. “There are more flights to and from Aruba than other Caribbean i

New York CNN Business  —  You may not be anywhere close to ready for the holidays — but retail chains certainly are. Christmas trees are already on sales floors at Costco and Lowe’s, Walmart’s year-end holiday sales start October 1 and Target (TGT) is offering its “earliest access ever” to holiday deals beginning October 6. Amazon (AMZN) is hosting a new “Prime Day” sales event on October 11 and 12. Holiday creep is nothing new, as each year retailers start the Christmas season earlier and earlier. But has it gotten out of hand? Should consumers be flooded with holiday music, displays and advertisements in October — a month commonly associated with the World Series, apple picking and Halloween? People shop in The Galleria mall during Black Friday on November 26, 2021 in Houston, Texas. Brandon Bell/Getty Images Big discounts are coming this holiday season “It is inappropriate to the consumer to be pushing December holiday purchasing in September and October,” said

Don’t drink the tap water. Don’t eat the street food. Don’t carry too much cash. Don’t walk alone at night. Don’t stay too close to the city center. Don’t carry a bag that someone could grab from you. And don’t speak to strangers.  When it comes to traveling, everyone has their own personal commandments that they would never break. But we’re not all looking for the same things when we go off exploring. Some are primarily interested in experiencing another culture’s food and wine when abroad, while another person might have their sights set on visiting as many museums as they can. Maybe your favorite thing to do when traveling is hit up a dive bar and meet some of the locals. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to seeing the world, so feel free to take everyone’s advice with a grain of salt.  Reddit user Jolros recently sparked a conversation in the Travel subreddit by asking other seasoned travelers what common pieces of advice they purposefully ignore , and hundreds of pe
