Justin Francis: 'Donald Trump is wrong on...

January 22, 2025

Contrary to the views expressed by Donald Trump, some global corporations and investment firms, I believe diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programmes enrich society and business, and are essential if we are to manage climate change, migration and overtourism.

Bryant said: “A key part of the government’s growth strategy for the tourism sector is increasing visitor numbers outside of London. The capital is a fantastic draw for foreign visitors, bringing in tens of millions of them each year, however the council will look at ways to attract more people to other cities and regions.” He added the first meeting discussed the sector’s performance across domestic, international and outbound markets and how to support the government’s growth plans.

Virgin Voyages' SJ Walker promises agents: 'We'll...

January 21, 2025

Walker: ‘Giving the trade that first-hand experience is second to none’ (Credit: Virgin Voyages) Virgin Voyages is finally achieving the kind of success it’s been striving for since its launch during the early stages of the pandemic. Its current fleet, comprising Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady, entered service across a short 18-month window as the world learnt to live in the Covid maelstrom. During that tumultuous period, Virgin Voyages had to find its place in the market...

James Thornton: 'Donald Trump's rhetoric goes against...

January 21, 2025

Already we’re seeing the effects in the US, with some major brands walking back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, or even closing their DEI teams down entirely. However, I believe that in the face of this growing sense of individualism, now is the time when we need to come together as teams, businesses and societies. As companies, we need to stand by our values and lead loudly on issues that are important to our people, our customers and...

The Twisted History Behind Medieval Torture Museums

January 16, 2025

Tourists trickle down into the bowels of Belgrade’s monumental fortress, attracted by banners promising a “MEDIEVAL TORTURE MUSEUM.” A $5 entrance fee secures access to three dusty, gloomy rooms, tucked away in the battlements alongside a range of other money-spinning ventures. The sounds of axes chopping and muffled screams are piped through the catacombs, creating a slightly cheesy, slightly unsettling atmosphere. Dusty cases present a confused mix of artifacts of dubious historical origin, glorying in lurid names. The “pear...

Omega Mart at Area 15 in Las...

January 16, 2025

Part art installation. Part super market. Part interdimensional portal. Visit Omega Mart for your next psychedelic-inspired shopping trip. On the first floor, check out, or even buy, products such as “Corn P.M., a Soothing Nighttime Corn for Adults” and “Tattoo Chicken.” While the shopping mall is an attraction in its own, it’s more than just shelves of odd products. Explore secret rooms and art installations, and find a hidden bar within Omega Mart’s walls. Visitors can sign up to...

Tower of Centocelle (Torre di Centocelle) in...

January 16, 2025

The Tower of Centocelle, or San Giovanni Tower (also called Tower of Torre Spaccata), is a medieval tower located in eastern Rome. The tower was part of a farmhouse from the first phase of the settlement of the Roman countryside and can be dated to the end of the 12th century, thanks to the construction technique in flakes and irregular stone blocks of lava, tuff and limestone, arranged with fairly regular sub-horizontal courses. It is still preserved at a considerable...

The Ghost Town of Nothing, Arizona in...

January 16, 2025

Driving on the lonely U.S Route 93 between Wikieup and Wickenburg, Arizona, travelers will stumble upon a surprising sight: On a high tower, a wooden sign with red painted letters that says “Nothing.” There, the little ghost town of Nothing slowly fades under the blazing desert sun. Established in 1977, Nothing had, at its peak, only four inhabitants. It was composed of a simple gas station and a small market (ironically named “All-Mart.”) The now-gone town sign once read:...

Kaleidoscope Desert in Morongo Valley, California

January 16, 2025

Less than 20 miles from Joshua Tree, a unique, five-acre ranch named Kaleidoscope Desert provides sanctuary for animals and humans alike. The place eludes simple definition. On it you’ll find art installations, murals, and sculptures. Four accommodations—ranging from an antique barn to an art-deco-influenced hacienda—can be booked for overnight stays and retreats. And rescue animals—including emus, goats, dogs, peacocks, and mini horses—roam the grounds. While the property defies tidy categorization, its aim is clear: Kaleidoscope Desert wants to offer...

Liu's Bakery in Taichung City, Taiwan

January 16, 2025

In the world of Taiwanese baked goods, few treats are as nostalgic as the Apple Bread. Much like Hong Kong’s pineapple buns contain no actual pineapple, this soft, golden loaf contains no apple. Instead, its moniker was a nod to Apple Sidra, a local soda brand invented in the 1960s. Perhaps more importantly, apples came to symbolize luxury in Taiwan’s post-war era of limited resources. Liu’s Bakery in Taichung was founded in 1962 by Mr. Liu Zheji, a former...

Memphis Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee

January 16, 2025

This 32-story pyramid, constructed to be a two-thirds-size replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza, was initially used by the Memphis Grizzlies NBA team. In 2004, they moved to a new arena, leaving the future of the structure uncertain. In 2015, an unlikely tenant took over: Bass Pro Shops. As their largest store in the world, the Memphis Pyramid’s 360,000 square feet now offer an expansive shopping experience. An indoor “swamp” houses several alligators, and its giant aquarium is home...

Gateway Diner Beatrixpark in Almere, Netherlands

January 16, 2025

The Gateway Diner was a classic, all American restaurant established in 1939 in Philipsburg, New Jersey. After being toured around Germany, the diner found its final resting place in 2010, in the small town of Almere in the Netherlands. The town was founded in 1976, easily making it the oldest building in town. Many entrepreneurs have tried to establish American-inspired restaurants in the area, but all would eventually fail. Lying dormant for the past few years, the diner is now taking...

Simon Benetton Museum in Treviso, Italy

January 16, 2025

Simon Benetton was a sculptor and a poet who lived in Treviso. Son of the sculptor Toni Benetton, he followed his father’s footsteps, eventually defining his own unique style in works made of iron. He was born in 1933 and spent his entire life in Treviso, passing away in 2016. He spent his days working in his atelier, or workshop, near the family’s forge in the northern outskirts of the town. The shop, built in Carlo Scarpa’s architectural style,...

The Last Cowboy Boot Masters of El...

January 15, 2025

On an otherwise quiet weekday morning in Segundo Barrio, a working-class neighborhood on the south side of El Paso, the tap, tap, tap of Jose Contreras’ hammer echoes from inside the blue warehouse on Cotton Street. With silver nails clamped between his lips, the 61-year-old uses a special pair of pliers to tug a shaft of red leather over a wooden shoe form and tap it into place. At a workbench nearby, Victor Rodriguez squints as he coaxes one...
