Paradise Yachts

published Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 at 5:56 pm by

There’s no beating the exhilarating freedom, adventure, and luxury of sailing the seas in your own private yacht. Being in the middle of the vast open sea, the wide open skies and its changing colors, and the occasional sights of avian and marine life, is pure bliss.

Whether in isolation or with intimate company, it’s quite a romantic adventure as you sail the seas in your personal yacht. And with the top-of-the-line facilities of your yacht, it’s home far away from home; inside your yacht, it feels like staying in a hotel, but when you step out, you are struck with the boundless beauty of nature.  And added to that is your destination: you are heading to some exotic island to complete your adventure.

But what if your yacht itself looks like a tropical island? Literally? Complete with a volcano, little islands, palm trees, cabanas, and cascading waterfalls? Would you still need to go to an exotic island?

Get out of here, you say. But these out-of-the-world yachts are happening, because It’s paradise aboard yachts of the future.

Minding Your Health When Traveling

published Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at 2:43 pm by

Although traveling can be exciting, exhilarating, and thrilling, it can also bring about stress. And bad stress can put your health at risk. Perhaps stress from delayed flights, from traveling companions, or stress from unpredictable sticky situations in the airport, and a long list of other stressful problems. And how do you cope? How does it affect your traveling?

And add to the possible million things that can go wrong when you’re traveling, are the illnesses that can ruin your vacation: motion sickness, common travel diseases like Traveler’s Diarrhea, or jet lag.

Stress is bad for your health, and minor illnesses can worsen if not taken care of properly. Indeed, being unprepared for travel woes can be more dangerous to your health—physical, emotional, or mental.

To combat these unpredictable travel dilemmas, read these 7 Tips for a Healthy Vacation.

Facebook Boosts Tourism

published Thursday, January 5th, 2012 at 12:37 am by

The Facebook fever is phenomenal. It intoxicates its users, keeping them glued to their computer screens. And making them “live vicariously through other people’s lives,” like one site has aptly put.

The genius behind Facebook is that it has designed a social platform where you can share everything in real time. Your “news feed” displays what’s going on in other people’s lives that they shamelessly update every chance they get. As a result, Facebook triggers people’s insecurity and curiosity about other people’s lives, and it has become a platform of self-promotion.

Almost everybody on Facebook is self-promoting, then comparing themselves with the lives of their Facebook friends, and then eventually feeling depressed if they feel they are missing out on life because their co-worker is in the Swiss Alps, or posing with a bunch of smiling friends in some exotic island destination.

No wonder, because the newly created green-eyed monsters by Facebook, in order to win in this virtual competition, copy their friends’ holiday adventures by traveling themselves. Sometimes not only to enjoy the holidays, but it’s also a part of their plan to display photos on Facebook that they, too, are having the time of their lives and become a source of envy of their Facebook friends.

Facebook, therefore, also boosts tourism.

Read the psychology behind this trend in Facebook fuels rise of copycat holidays.
