Top vacation of hotspots for 2011

BRAZIL, India and the Philippines are among the list of must-see destination in 2011, travel exports have revealed.


Using travel trends and statistics, Travel.com.au have released a list of destinations, travel tips and airlines for the new year.


While affordable airfares and its rich culture were the key factors for Brazil’s selection, interest in India continues to rise as well as the Philippines, which is becoming increasingly popular due to the political unrest in Thailand and its untapped beaches.


Old favourites such as the US and New Zealand also made the cut.


Los Angeles was singled out due to the strong Australian dollar and airfares than can be scored for under $1000. Travel.com.au has predicted that travellers will utilise LA as a port of travel and will head down to the south of the US on road trips.


Meanwhile New Zealand has become one of the most sough-after destinations for 2011 with more Australians expected to take shorter breaks to our neighbouring country due to heavily discount airfares.


Holiday patterns will also change next year. Gone are the days where Australian travellers would save up their annual leave over a few years and spend months overseas - holidaymakers will now book their travel two or three months in advance to score a cheap seat.


Adventure tours and cruises will remain popular holiday options, while stopovers will become increasingly popular next year with most airlines allowing a free stopover on most fares.


Australians will holiday for an average of three weeks in Europe, ten days in the US, four-five days in New Zealand and seven days in Asia, Travel.com.au’s research shows.


Travelling in style
If you’re looking to fly business class in 2011 airlines to consider include V Australia and Singapore Airlines – with seat pitches of 96cm and 86cm respectively, the seats also convert into flat beds.


However, if you’re after a cheap business class airfare Travel.com.au recommends taking a look at Asiana Airlines – voted by Skytrax as a five-star airline, it has a seat pitch of 152cm and 30kg of checked luggage.


Have even more cash to splash around? Consider flying first class with Emirates or Thai International airlines. While Emirates has a seat pitch of 175cm, both the airlines have seats that convert into flat beds and offer complimentary chauffers.


If you’re after a more affordable first class fare then consider Korean Airlines.


Travel tips for 2011
- Planning to head overseas next year? Start researching your flights now and keep an eye on the prices so you have an idea what to expect.


- If you see a deal that is within your budget book it, as it may not be available next time you check.


- Avoid travelling in peak seasons – such as school holiday - when possible as prices tend to increase.


- Be flexible with your travel dates if you want to score a cheap flight – always give or take a few days to your travel plans and you may be able to grab a bargain fare.


- Consider travelling with a different airline. Increased competition in the skies has led to cheaper airfares.

Abu Dhabi hotel regrets $11 m Christmas 'overload'

A statement by Emirates Palace Hotel said it regretted the Christmas tree tradition "trying to overloaded" by decorating it with premium bling, including gold, rubies, diamonds and other precious stones from a hotel jeweler.


The statement was a rarely something of reflection on the Gulf of ethos of the surplus. The tree was presented last week with full fanfare in a hotel, which has its own gold bar vending machines and a one-week $1 million-package, private jet jaunts around the Middle East contains.


But the hotel management had apparently second thoughts, after questions arose, the opulent tree was innocent good cheer or unfortunate bad taste.


The hotel regrets "attempting the tradition, followed by most hotels in the country with meanings and connotations, in accordance with the (hotel's) professional standards fall too cluttered", a statement said on the State News Agency WAM, performed.


The hotel even trying distance themselves from the 43 foot (13 M) faux FIR in one his rotundas, say, a hotel-based jeweler solely responsible for creating and decorate the tree was.


"The hotel is just a place for the display of the tree," said the statement.


The hotel also claimed that the tree was no trick, but rather seek increase the holiday atmosphere for its guests to the basis of the United Arab Emirates "values of openness and tolerance."


Although officially Muslim the UAE has many signs of Christmas for its huge foreign population. Lights, carolers and Santas are devices in every Mall.

House for Christmas…. and sick as A dog

A quick update to explain where I have been lately...

The last week of the trip was brutal. I went from Bangkok to Tokyo to Honolulu to Seattle to San Francisco, Las Vegas, to Minneapolis to Green Bay.

The two longest legs of those flights (Tokyo, Honolulu and Honolulu to Seattle) were both night red eye flights, where did I get any sleep. Throw in Jet lag on top of that, and I was exhausted.

Las Vegas cancelled my flight to Minneapolis, and I had to sit for 3 hours in the baggage claim area of the cancelled flight waiting my bag taken get.

When I woke up in Las Vegas the next morning, my body ruled that it had had enough and I was sick.

Just to give you an idea, I spent almost all Christmas day in bed to sleep. I have a headache, sore muscles sore throat very, and I am tired all the time.

I'm glad I could it go back to Wisconsin for Christmas to make. This is the first Christmas without my father and I am really glad I could be here for it, even if I was sick.

As all these trips and disease can result you have noticed a serious lack of activity on the website. I have some very cool announcements and stories come to publish in 2011. Until then will I probably only Hibernate will try to beat what made me sick.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with I to take some more NyQuil'm going and go back to bed.

Damaged Antarctic cruise ship in the Argentine port

BUENOS AIRES - reached a damaged cruise ship of Argentina southernmost port early Friday with its 88 American passengers and 77 crew safe after a big wave broke his bridge window and cut off its communications and radar.


Clelia II was four days in Antarctica to stay but back to your planned port in Ushuaia after only two days because of the incident on Tuesday, sailing according to passengers.


It was a very slow journey in heavy weather, said passenger Denis Smyth, a 68-year-old U.S. Navy veteran from Rockville point, New York.


"I am an ex Navy person, so I was used, but it was very rough." There was a lot of days when people were too sick to eat, "he told the associated press by phone from Ushuaia."
Smyth said a railing of a large wave broke a Los to break it through the window of the bridge. Water then poured in, short communications and radar.

Florida tourism industry reeling from sad year

MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. – The Hubbard family, owners of a marina complex and seafood restaurant on Florida’s Gulf coast near Tampa, would just as soon forget that 2010 ever happened.
The lingering economic recession, a record cold Florida winter and the effects of the Gulf oil spill stalled the tourist traffic this year at Madeira Beach, where the Hubbards have been a presence since the 1970s. All that came after the lousy economy landed a gut punch to their businesses in 2009.
“It was incredibly scary, because we didn’t know if we were going to get oil” on nearby beaches, said Kathleen McDole, a Hubbard sister whose Friendly Fisherman restaurant saw a 20-percent decline in business this year. “And neither did the rest of the United States and our visitors who come here. So they didn’t come.”
The family’s struggles this year mirrored those of most of Florida’s tourism industry, which employs around 1 million people and accounts for more than one-fifth of the state’s total sales tax revenue. The year was even more disappointing because people in the industry originally had high hopes for recovery in 2010 after two straight bad years due to the recession.
But then came a rare extended freeze last January, and the BP Deepwater Horizon accident and oil spill on April 20. Throughout the spring and summer, would-be visitors changed their plans amid visions of oil fouling the beaches and spoiling their holiday.
Deep discounts and strategic marketing were required to persuade more people to come to Florida, cutting deep into profits. When vacationers got here, they spent less at restaurants and attractions.
“The collective impacts of the economic downturn, and certainly the oil spill, were as significant a challenge as we’ve (ever) had to face,” said Chris Thompson, president and CEO of Visit Florida, the state’s tourism bureau.
The number of visitors to the state — roughly 80 million annually — has stayed flat the past three years, following years of solid growth throughout the decade, according to statistics kept by Visit Florida. But the discounting necessary this past year took an even bigger bite.
“Now they’re running their businesses in a totally different manner,” said Robin Grabowski, president of the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce. “They’re doing more with less. When fewer people are coming into the hotel rooms and they’re paying less to get that hotel room, that economic impact is less all around.”
The oil spill — and the widespread impression around the country that all of Florida’s shores were awash in crude — came at a time when tourism officials were seeing signs that the industry was starting to recover from terrible years in 2008 and 2009, Thompson said. In reality, beaches in just six eastern Panhandle counties saw signs of oil — mostly in the form of tar balls and tar patties. Most of it has been cleaned up, although BP-funded crews are still working in some areas.
Laura Lee, spokeswoman for the visitors bureau for Pensacola-area beaches, said hotel and condo revenue was down 5 percent for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 — “which we actually consider a victory.” Area hotels benefited by having BP workers and large contingency of media in town for the summer, but at reduced rates.
Oil started washing ashore in June and killed business in July, the biggest month of the year for the area’s beaches. Revenue numbers for the month were off 25 percent, with visitors paying about 11 percent less than the previous July.
“What we battled most was the public perception,” Lee said. “People saw images of maybe an oiled pelican in Louisiana, and then on the news they were talking about Florida beaches, and people just made the connection that we were the ones hit hard.”
Her agency is using the $2.7 million in reparations from BP for aggressive marketing and promotions that seem to be paying off, she said. After a slow summer, September hotel and condo revenue was up 17 percent from the year before, with visitors playing slightly more per night than in 2009.
No one in the industry is jumping up and down over the prospects for 2011, but it’s expected to be slightly better. The third quarter of 2010 showed an increase in total visitors to the state, and the number of travelers from Latin America and Europe are up by double-digits over last year. Florida theme parks are seeing a slight resurgence thanks in part to the new, wildly successful Harry Potter attraction at Universal Orlando.
“We realize we are in the recovery and restoration stage, and it’s yet to be determined the extent of those two stages,” Thompson said. “The good news is we’re cautiously optimistic. As a result of the tough economic times, we’ve had a lot of pent-up demand out there.”
One bright spot is Miami, which has managed to maintain its luster through the recent hard times, partly because about half its visitors come from overseas. The city is one of few markets in the country where the average daily rate for hotels is actually on the rise, and the Miami International Airport was second only to New York for international arrivals this year. Foreign visitors stay longer and spend more money.
“We’ve been more aggressive in the foreign markets, we’ve added more offices in South American countries, even though — like everybody else — we are doing more with less,” said William Talbert, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Visitors & Convention Bureau.
Another bit of good news: Thompson said Florida is expected to reap benefits from the Tourism Promotion Act, which was passed by Congress in February and created a nonprofit corporation to promote U.S. tourism overseas.
Back in Madeira Beach, there’s a lot on the line in 2011 for the Hubbards and other small-business owners.
“It has to be better,” said Patricia Hubbard, McDole’s sister. “Because if it isn’t, we won’t be here.”
