Dracula, smugglers, golden beaches and kippers: where else but Whitby?

While tourism may long since have replaced the sea as the town's main source of income, Whitby's inhabitants have lost none of the independence and pride that are central to their character and to Whitby's enduring appeal. Situated on a geological fault, where the River Esk bisects the otherwise uninterrupted cliffs of the North Yorkshire coastline, Whitby's origins can be traced back at least 1350 years to the...

Here was a completely different world where the opportunities were endless. Almost instantly, I got a gut feeling that hidden in this virtual world were several ways to make money.

Blame it on circumstances or bad judgement but I was only able to generate substantial income after 7 years of scourging the internet. I have tired it all from PPC advertising to the more recent google adsense. The result is hardcore on job experience that...

While many visitors are aware of the world-famous Chichen Itza and plenty of tours visit nearby Tulum, archeologists and those in the know often recommend a forgotten Mayan city.

However, realizing the cultural value of the site, the local government constructed a modern road to the site in the 1970s and tours have grown in popularity ever since. Though known for its stone pyramids, the...

The air show traditionally comes late in the Malta holidays season, and is a welcome late boost for the island's tourist industry with aviation enthusiasts descending for the weekend. Despite some complaints from residents about noise and safety levels, the air show does produce publicity and income for the holiday and Malta hotels industry, which in previous years has been a welcome addition to the island's fortunes as visitor numbers have slipped away. The 2006 event was a truly international one, as well as the Armed Forces of Malta participating, the French...

Do I Really Need UK Travel Insurance?
When you think of why you'd need travel insurance you probably get images of broken legs whilst skiing, Car rental mishaps in the Mediterranean and eating some dodgy shrimp. You wouldn't normally associate a weekend break within the UK as somewhere you'd need travel insurance. But the truth is that wherever you go in the UK you are still going to need travel insurance, just not in the way you'd normally expect. Since you'll still be in the UK you won't be claiming against your life insurance if you get injured, that's what health insurance is for. The situations you'd need to claim against travel insurance would normally be the occasions where you have to cancel your holiday or cut it short. One...
