How to Plan the Ultimate Weekend in New York City

April 14, 2021

Did you know that New York City is the most visited place in the country? The city received about 65 million tourists in 2018. 13.6 million of those tourists came from other countries.

Tourism is a major component of New York City’s economy. In 2017, tourists spent about $44 billion while visiting the city.

Whether it’s your first time visiting the city or you’ve come back several times throughout the years, spending a weekend in New York City takes some planning. Check out this list of tips for planning the perfect weekend.

Make a Budget First

Before visiting New York City, you should start planning by creating a budget. Even though you’ll only be in the city for a weekend, your spending can stack up before you know it.

Creating a budget can help curb your spending, so you can enjoy your time without having to worry about how much money you’ll need. Make sure to budget for accommodations, transportation, meals, and attractions.

Figure Out How You’ll Get There

Once you’ve got your budget all worked out you’ll know how much you can spend on travel to get there. Now you can decide whether taking a flight, train, or a car is the best option.

What form of transportation you choose will depend on where you currently live. If you’ll need to fly into the city make sure to start looking for flights some time in advance. Prices will vary depending on the season but you’ll be able to get better deals the earlier you book.

Choose Convenient Accommodation

When looking for where to stay in New York City there are a few factors to consider. Where you stay will depend on your budget most importantly.

You should consider getting a hotel or renting a place that’s in a central location though. While this might increase the price of your stay, it’ll make it easier to get around the city to the places you want to visit.

Since you’ll only be in New York for a few days, getting from place to place with ease is most important.

Plan Out What You’ll Be Doing

If you’re not a big planner it’s ok not to make a minute-to-minute itinerary for the weekend. You should, however, make a general plan of where you’ll be going to make the most of your weekend.

This will also help you plan out your budget because you’ll know the costs of the attractions you’ll be visiting ahead of time. One thing you can do is ride the East River Ferry for a beautiful view of the city. You can also head out for a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Figure Out How You’ll Get Around

If you’ll be traveling to New York by plane, you’ll still have to plan for how you’ll get around the city while there. New York offers many different options for getting around the city, the most common are buses and subways.

You can buy a subway card for the weekend since that’ll be the most affordable travel method. If you’re interested in driving yourself around, however, you should first educate yourself on New York City parking.

You can find free parking by searching for a place to stay with this amenity. Many hotels offer this service. You can also consider reserving your parking spot before heading to a location or using a parking garage.

Make Reservations at Your Favorite Restaurants

New York City is famous for its great restaurants and eateries. Since you’ll only be spending a weekend in the city you should consider making a list of restaurants you want to visit ahead of time.

Once you know the places you want to eat you can make reservations for the nights you’ll be there. This can help you avoid waiting in long lines for tables to open up.

Check Out Some of the Best Museums

Other places to visit in New York City, during a weekend trip, should include the many beautiful museums the city has. Many of these museums have free days where you don’t have to pay an admission fee, try to plan your trip around these days.

The American Museum of Natural History is a staple of the city and one you won’t regret checking out, especially if you have kids. The Museum of Modern Art is one of the best art museums in the world and a must-see for art lovers.

Things You Can Do On Your Last Day

The last day of a trip might be tiring with all the packing and traveling you have to do. If you don’t need to head to the airport or train station until later in the evening, you can check out a few sights before heading out.

Central Park is a beautiful green space in the middle of this bustling city. You can head there to have a picnic or watch the street performers. You can also visit The Highline for a walk through a beautiful garden with a unique view of the city.

You should also consider checking out a matinee of a Broadway show when you’re in the city.

How to Spend the Perfect Weekend in New York City

If you’ll be spending the weekend in New York City it’s important to take the time to plan your trip, to make the most of your time.

Make sure you have a plan for transportation and finding free parking if you’ll be driving. You should also make a list of places you want to see when planning a trip to New York City.

What Research to Do Before Going on a Trip

April 13, 2021

In sports, they say the best defense is a good offense. When it comes to homeownership, common wisdom suggests that preventative maintenance is preferable to emergency repairs. And in school, you’re better off studying a little every night than cramming it all in the day before a big test.

Being proactive is beneficial for a lot in things, and travel is no different. One of the keys to having an enjoyable trip is preparing ahead of time.

Sure, if you’re just driving to South Carolina to look at Charleston houses for sale, you might not need to do as much research as if you were taking a transcontinental flight to East Asia. Whatever your destination, though, it helps to be informed about where you’re going, what it’s like, and who the locals are.

Find Out What Kind of ID You Need

First and foremost, it’s important to make sure you have any and all legally required documents with you, as well as access to ones that might otherwise be helpful. For the former, this could mean a driver’s license, passport, visa, vehicle registration, vehicle insurance, and/or vaccination record. For the latter, this could mean medical records, plane tickets, hotel reservation confirmations, purchase receipts, and more.

Look Up Information on the Climate

Are you going somewhere hot or cold? Do you have to worry about rain or snow? What about heat exhaustion? The answers to these questions and more will have a huge impact on what you decide to bring with you when traveling, what your plans will be once you reach your destination, or even whether it’s advisable to go there at all. You may want to avoid Florida during hurricane season, for example, or India during monsoon season.

Know Where to Find the Essentials

Food. Water. Shelter. Safety. These are the things human beings cannot do without. No matter where you go, you’ll need to make sure things are accounted for and accommodated. Look up hotels, camp sites, and other lodging options in the area. Find the addresses for local markets and restaurants. Write down or memorize the contact information for emergency services such as paramedics, police, firefighters, and embassies.

Investigate Cultural Norms & Taboos

Being a visitor in a different state or country is a lot like being a guest in someone’s house. You expect courtesy and respect from them, and they expect it from you. More importantly, when you’re under someone else’s roof, you’re under their rules. That’s why it’s incumbent upon you to delve what does and does not constitute acceptable public behavior. In Japan, for example, guests are expected to remove their shoes when entering someone’s house. In Germany, eating with hands is frowned upon; even burgers and pizza require utensils.

Check the News for Current Events

You may think you know everything there is to know about where you’re going, especially if you’ve been there before already. But do you know what it’s like there right now, at this very moment? Things can change surprisingly fast in this world, so if you’re going to travel it you should know what’s happening in the news. Was there recently a natural disaster? What’s the political situation? Are the streets and hotels flooded with tourists? Failing to ask such questions could result in you receiving a nasty surprise.

7 Important Safety Tips for Solo Traveling

February 19, 2021

Solo traveling has been on the rise in recent years. And why not? It can be freeing to travel at your own pace, seeing what you want to see, skipping what you don’t, and having unique experiences that you might not otherwise.

Traveling alone can be highly rewarding and alluring. Safety, however, is a common concern and even a reason that many people avoid booking that single-seat ticket.

If you’ve found yourself hesitating to take the leap, follow these 7 solo travel tips to ensure you’re safe and secure when it comes to how to travel solo.

1. Do Your Research

Travel safety begins before you leave home.

Research the area that you’re planning to visit before you go. Make sure you’re familiar with local safety tips, what areas you might want to avoid, and the safest areas to stay.

2. Be Vigilant

Travel hubs such as train stations and airports are the most likely place to encounter pickpockets or scammers, but it can happen anywhere. Solo travelers might be more likely to be targeted.

Pay attention to your surrounding and follow common tips to avoid being an easy target.

3. Keep Your Valuables Safe

Many accommodations have safes or lockers available for valuables. It’s a good idea to keep your passport, spare cash, and an emergency credit card in these when you go out. Just make sure to carry a photocopy of your passport’s info page on you in case you need it.

With the valuables you do carry, keep them in separate pockets on your person (not in a bag). You even might consider carrying a decoy wallet on you in the unlikely event that you get held up.

When traveling on your own, it also might not be the best time to wear your nicest jewelry or fanciest watch.

4. Be Confident

Even if you’re not sure where you’re going, try to make it look like you belong there. Walk with confidence rather than meandering along and squinting at every street sign.

Boost your confidence by checking maps ahead of time or finding a secure spot to open up Google Maps. While it isn’t advisable ever to pull a weapon on an assailant, carrying one can improve your sense of confidence. Check out what makes the best OTF knife for travel.

5. Get Travel Insurance

Whether to get insurance tends to be a significant question when it comes up. For travel, however, the answer is a resounding “yes.”

Travel insurance is often quite reasonably priced and can go a long way to covering your needs if your plans go awry. There are many sites available to help you figure out what you need and compare plans.

6. Check In Regularly

Let friends or family know what your plans are and touch base with them daily or even more often. If you can give them your itinerary in advance with lodging, flight numbers, and dates, that’s a good idea, too.

7. Trust Your Instincts

Odds are that if you feel something is off, you’re correct. Operate within your comfort zone and leave situations that don’t feel right to you, even if it might be “rude” to a friendly stranger. Your gut feeling is one of your best safety tools.

Solo Traveling With Confidence

Solo traveling is exciting and fulfilling. Follow these 7 tips and you’ll be set up to do it enjoyably and without incident. Check out some solo travel ideas and get going!

The Myth Busting Travel Blog Checklist

February 15, 2021

If you do it right, creating a profitable travel blog is like standing shoulder to shoulder with Dickens and Shakespeare. At least, it’ll feel that way. But get it wrong and you’ll be less ‘Bard’ and more bored of taking the blinking cursor on a stroll through your thoughts only to receive even more low view counts. So how can you stay on top? Let’s myth bust your travel blog.

Creative Automation

What is creative automation? It’s a lot of things. And if you don’t know what they are, chances are that you aren’t doing any of them. Never fear, we can sort that out here and now (check out creative automation for more information).

Let’s say you have put in the hard work and your blog has something of a growing online presence, with engaging social media channels and a well-run website. Now let’s look at the work you have to put in to keep all of those aspects of your business afloat.

From file sizes and formats from one channel to the next, and even considerations such as text language and scheduled post times, you no doubt have a lot on your hands. Automation cures all of these issues. It’s what the professionals are doing that keeps them ahead with time to spare. Get involved or forever waste your evenings fiddling with the administration of each tailored post.

A Great Title & Opening

You have a choice to make with your travel blog. Create something predictable that says the same things as every other travel blog in your niche, or use the inner voice that inspired you to become a writer in the first place.

A great title and opening don’t come from keywords alone. There is hidden magic in how you word your work. Don’t lazily call a piece “10 Reasons to Visit Scotland”. Call it “Scotland in 3 Ghosts, 2 Hollywood Stars’ Homes, and the World’s Biggest Sapphire”. Or something. You get the point. Do you want the click or not? You’re going to have to put some serious thought into how you can use your voice in a way that answers user queries and connects with your audience.

Failure to get this right is a fast way to ensure your blog gets all the usual views from family and friends but never quite breaks through into the wider scene.

Tone Specific Content

Scour the internet for travel blog advice and you’ll come across endless guidance telling you to write in a conversational tone. After all, travel is a luxury. It should be spoken about in terms of passion and grandeur. We’re not selling hammers and screwdrivers. There’s no need for cold, hard, logical text. We’re selling aspiration and desire. So keep things casual and inviting, right?

Well, yes and no. Always write with your audience in mind. Did you know that some cruises are specifically aimed at more mature passengers? Or have you ever been lured to go somewhere that promised lazy afternoon culture, only to find that more vibrant crowds have adopted the area?

Your audience is tone specific, and that tone may not always be as conversational as the widespread advice would have you believe.

The Travel After: How Travelling Will Become Post-Pandemic

January 27, 2021

Coronavirus cases are still spiking at the start of 2021 in America and beyond. People are still not allowed to travel anywhere they please. Countries have remained closed to those with a U.S. passport, although travellers are already raring to scratch their itch for wanderlust.

file-20200730-15-1rdamty.jpg

It’s easy to miss other countries for the variety that they offer to travellers. There is Australia with its homes featuring fixed decking you can lounge out on under the sun and the large outback; France and the City of Eternal Lights; Japan and the rush-hour of Tokyo; and the different, myriad places in Latin America, which is even just south of the border.

How long borders will remain closed remains unknown, but people are already looking to a time past that. Right now, here are some possible changes that might occur after the last reported coronavirus patient leaves the hospital, cured of the disease.

Travellers will become campaigners of sustainability

For sure, travel will face a surge of demand once restrictions are lifted, but that will be contrasted with travellers playing the role of guardians. What will they guard? Well, the environment always stands to lose a lot after an influx of irresponsible visitors. This is what travellers will be up on arms against-companies allowing travellers to just, well, travel.

Right now, you can play guardian by trying to keep your carbon footprint (trash and the like) to a minimum. If you plan to stay at the accommodation, make sure that it’s a green hotel. Websites available right now provide ratings on places based on eco-friendliness; if you want to be sure you’re staying at a green building, try that out.

Travelling will become an inclusive chore

Even during the pandemic, people have been demanding more inclusiveness. This doesn’t just mean the LGBTQ+ crowd-some people are being included in their demands. It is predicted that the landscape of travelling will change further to include everyone, regardless of race or gender.

Even travellers with disabilities and other conditions that make them feel not included will be well thought of. Indeed, if that happens-or continues to happen-it will be a very different travelling experience than the one that you may have experienced before the quarantine.

Travelling to smaller communities will grow

Many communities suffered during the pandemic, and most of them are found in the “global south” or third world or developing countries that depend on tourism. Most of these are found in South-East Asia. It is expected that travelling after the pandemic will bring more tourists here.

There will still be a huge demand for the Parises and the Hawaiis of the world, but the keyword here is mass tourism. After the pandemic, people might become warier of huge crowds that may carry mysterious illnesses. This will benefit the smaller communities more.

Travellers should remain aware of the guidelines

Before travelling anywhere, seasoned travellers will check the guidelines set by the authorities. Through this, some travellers managed not to get the virus, although others may have been unfortunate. Now, everybody is expected to check the guidelines after the pandemic regardless of whether there have been changes.

It is helpful to always consider checking it. There is different information here, and it will also tell you whether travel to a destination is already allowed or if it is still off-limits due to the pandemic or other reasons. You shouldn’t push through with your plans if it’s obvious that the place is not safe.

Travellers will be more aware of the WHO and CDC websites

This could be true after the recent pandemic. The WHO and the CDC are always on the lookout for new viruses on the scale of COVID-19, so it’s not over killing to always look at their advisories right before travelling. Who knows whether the place you’re going to is the breeding ground for a new coronavirus or some new contagious disease.

Information disseminated through these announcements will be easy to read because it is for the public. These aren’t the only advisories you have to read, of course, but they’ll become a necessity in the new normal.

Travelling under the new normal will still be like the old way of travelling, save for a few changes. People will become warier of places experiencing a small outbreak of a disease or something else. After all, their priority will still be their health, despite their desire to travel. If you’re a regular traveller, you should learn to include them in your to-do list to travel under the new normal.

Pony rides are available for a little extra cost.

  • Fort St. George

T Nagar Shopping District is the place you should go to in Chennai if you want to take back souvenirs to your loved ones back home. That being said, this shopping destination is a favourite of locals too, and you will find it to be a little more crowded than the normal markets. A suggestion would be to avoid visiting T Nagar Shopping District in the New Year, Thai Pongal Day or during any other Hindu festival. You can buy locally made items here starting from high-quality silk saris, handbags, shoes and much more!

  • The Broken Bridge

The Broken Bridge, as the name suggests, is a bridge that is broken and you cannot go anywhere if you are here. But it is a popular place among couples as the area is very picturesque and peaceful.

Common Travel Errors with Your Electronic Cigarette

January 8, 2021

When you travel to a different country with your electronic cigarette, you want to make sure you avoid any obvious errors that may delay your flight, or even risk you getting in trouble. To do so, you need to keep yourself updated regarding laws and airport procedures, and make sure that you adhere to them. Some errors may not be obvious, while others should be a given regarding air transportation and smoking.

Luggage Errors

One error that people may not be aware of is that electronic cigarettes cannot be carried within your hold luggage. Whatever type of bag you use for your hand luggage must, therefore, be able to fit your e-cigarette, any spare batteries, liquids, and coils – see 88vape to find out more – while still meeting any size and weight requirements.

Any electronic cigarettes that are placed within the luggage that you check in at the airport may register on scanners, causing your baggage to be searched. This can lead to damage of your items, loss, or even confiscation, so it is best to comply from the beginning and make sure these items have not been packed in your larger bags by mistake.

In-Flight Errors

Making an error regarding your storage and usage of your electronic cigarette when you have boarded the plane can have some serious consequences. If caught, which is highly likely to happen, you may be removed from the flight, banned from future travel, or even fined. While aeroplanes do still need to be made with ashtrays, these are only there to reduce the likelihood of fire or damage to the aircraft when individuals try to flout the rules. That doesn’t mean that, because there is an ashtray present, that smoking, or the usage of e-cigarettes is permitted.

At the same time, the charging of any electronic cigarettes is also not allowed on the aircraft. If you know the battery is low, you should either keep a spare battery in your hand luggage or, otherwise, wait until you reach your destination to charge the battery safely.

Liquid Errors

When you take e-cigarette liquid with you to the airport, you will need to make sure that it is stored correctly. Any type of liquid, whether water, toiletries, or even your vapour liquids, must be contained in 100ml bottles, at the very most, and then placed in a transparent bag, prior to entering the security check process. If you take larger bottles with you, even if the contents are less than the specified 100ml, these will need to be discarded or you will not be allowed to proceed. To save yourself time, and wasted products, it is best to sort this out before you leave home.

Avoiding these simple errors can help your trip get off to a good start, and help to combat any delays for yourself or other passengers. As long as there are no restrictions on your destination regarding the use of e-cigs, you can then travel compliantly with your belongings.

Tourism is a growing industry for a different country. Every year the number of visitors increases and the countries benefit a lot from their visits. Suppose a country is receiving millions of tourists around summers or vacation time. In that case, it requires careful management and to keep every operation intact and running. From hotels to tour guides, the local management has a lot to manage on their plate. If a tourist leaves a country happy, they would recommend it to others or will revisit themselves.

People have different choices when it comes to picking a professional degree. If you want to turn your passion into a career, enroll in a travel and tourism degree online to get the most of it. With this degree, you can equip yourself with valuable hospitality and destination management knowledge, making the experience memorable for travelers. Here is how you can boost your local tourism as a destination manager.

1. KNOW YOUR DESTINATION

You can only manage something when you know what it is and what it requires from you. When managing your destinations, find out what your destination is in real. Explore every nitty and gritty detail about the place. Assess it as a tourist, what will you want more from the site or what you can think is extra. Viewing the destination from a traveler’s perspective will give you an insight into the aspects you need to look after or improvise.

In many cases, the destination is evident, like a city or island. Still, it can also be a mountain range that can highlight the place. Knowing your location or destination makes it easy to manage and plan accordingly.

2. KNOW YOUR VISITORS

When you see what the visitors are looking for in a destination, it becomes easy to manage it. We cannot change the destination, but we can control other factors that visitors may prefer. It can be the eatery, the rest area, or a café. Ask yourself, why will you visit a particular place? What will be your motive, or what will you want to have? Such questions will help you identify the customers. Also, consider the likings of local people living and visiting the destination. Doing so will help you to boost your business and local tourism further.

3. SPREAD THE WORD

If you want to boost tourism, then you will need tourists to do so. Modern businesses are following digital marketing trends, and we have quick access to everything on our gadgets. Another way to boost your business is to spread the word as much as you can. People are more into travel blogs or vlogs. You can collaborate with your influencers or bloggers to share their insights and reviews by making a short video. It is the quickest way to reach millions of people with a single click. The bloggers and influences have people following them. Their insights or recommendation about your destination will serve as a testimonial to attract more visitors to your destination.

4. CREATE A GUIDE

The tourism industry cannot survive without travelers. Focusing your marketing around the needs of travelers can boost your business. Many solo travelers want to be their tour guides, and they look for a map or a guided to explore the area. The local visitors may know every detail about the destination, including you. Still, the others may value an informative guide as a treasure. Having an easy to read and understand guide can help a tourist to explore the areas they want. It will also add more to customer satisfaction as they won’t always be looking for help when they have a guide. Incorporate exquisite photographs and professional design to make it look more authentic and appealing to the customers.

5. HAVE AN ONLINE PRESENCE

When we plan to visit a country, we surf the internet to fetch every detail about it. We look for anything to serve our purpose, from searching the hotel details to the local tour guides. If you intend to boost tourism, it is vital to have an online presence. It can be in the form of a website or a social media handle. There are millions of active uses of social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. When you can reach millions of users and let them know about your existence online, they are surely going to visit and might plan their next tour.

CONCLUSION

Tourism can be extremely valuable for a country and the local government. The destination manager plays a vital role in revamping the attractions and enhancing the beauty of a place. It attracts many local businesses to invest and help in generating better revenue. Creating videos, giving discount offers, or promotions can grab local tourists’ attention and international ones. Manging a destination is not an easy task; it also has to consider the downside of tourism, like land sliding or erosions that can affect tourists’ flow. Tourism or destination management is essential if one is well aware of their targets and weighing all the management’s pros and cons.
