USA Travel Place In The South

USA Travel Place In The South

Do You want to know about the south USA travel information? Read the following  article about South traveling.

Mark Twain put it best, as early as 1882: “In the South, the [Civil] war is what AD is elsewhere; they date everything from it”. Several generations later, the legacies of slavery and “The War Between the States” remain evident throughout the southern heartland states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. It’s impossible to travel through the region without experiencing constant reminders of the two epic historical clashes that have shaped its destiny: the Civil War, and the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

For many travellers, the most exciting aspect of a visit to the South has to be its music. Fans flock to the homelands of Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, Dolly Parton and Otis Redding, heading to the country and blues hot spots of Nashville and Memphis, or seeking out backwoods barn dances in Appalachia and blues juke joints in the Mississippi Delta. The South gave the world rock’n’roll, and its contribution to music in general cannot be overstated.

The Southern experience is also reflected in a rich regional literature, documented by the likes of William Faulkner, Carson McCullers, Eudora Welty, Margaret Mitchell and Harper Lee. Major destinations include the elegant coastal cities of Charleston and Savannah, college towns Athens and Chapel Hill, and the historic Mississippi River ports of Natchez and Vicksburg. Away from the urban areas, perfumed with delicate magnolia trees, the classic Southern scenery consists of fertile but sun-baked farmlands, with undulating hillsides dotted with wooden shacks and rust-red barns and broken by occasional forests. Highlights include the misty Appalachian mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina; the subtropical beaches and tranquil barrier islands along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Georgia and South Carolina; and the river road through the tiny, time-warped settlements of the flat Mississippi Delta. In July and August, the daily high temperature is mostly a very humid 90°F, and while almost every public building is air-conditioned, the heat can be debilitating. May and June are more bearable, and tend to see a lot of local festivals, while the autumn colours in the mountains – just as beautiful and a lot less expensive and congested than New England – are at their headiest during October.

As a rule, public transport in rural areas is poor and you will see far more, and be able get out to the backwaters – the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the Ozarks and the Mississippi Delta to mention but a few – if you rent a car. In any case, it’s best to take things at your own pace – you’ll find things to see and do in the most unlikely places. Incidentally, if you harbour fantasies of travelling through the South by boat along the Mississippi, note that only luxury craft make the trip these days.

Broad History

The British dominated the region from the seventeenth century onwards, establishing increasingly successful agricultural colonies in the Carolinas and Georgia. Both climate and soil favoured staple crops, and massive labour-intensive plantations sprang up, predominantly growing tobacco prior to independence, and then increasingly shifting to cotton. Eventually, the big landowners turned to slavery as the most profitable source of labour. Millions of blacks were brought across from Africa, most arriving via the port of Charleston.

Although the South prospered until the middle of the nineteenth century, there was little incentive to diversify its economy. As a result, the Northern states began to surge ahead in both agriculture and industry; while the South grew the crops, Northern factories monopolized the more lucrative manufacturing of finished goods. So long as there were equal numbers of slave-owning and “free” states, the South continued to play a central role in national politics, and was able to resist abolitionist sentiment. However, the more the United States fulfilled its supposed “Manifest Destiny” to spread across the continent, the more new states joined the Union for which plantation agriculture, and thus slavery, was not appropriate. Southern politicians and plantation owners accused the North of political and economic aggression, and felt that they were losing all say in the future of the nation. The election of Abraham Lincoln, a longtime critic of slavery, as president in 1860 brought the crisis to a head. South Carolina seceded from the Union that December, and ten more southern states swiftly followed. On February 18, 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederate States of America – an event for which his vice president shockingly proclaimed that this was the first government in the history of the world “based upon this great physical and moral truth…that the Negro is not equal to the white man”.

During the resultant Civil War, the South was outgunned and ultimately overwhelmed by the vast resources of the North. The Confederates fired the first shots and scored the first victory in April 1861, when the Union garrison at Fort Sumter (outside Charleston) surrendered. The Union was on the military defensive until mid-1862, when its navy blockaded Georgia and the Carolinas and occupied key ports. Then Union forces in the west, under generals Grant and Sherman, swept through Tennessee, and by the end of 1863 the North had taken Vicksburg, the final Confederate-held port on the Mississippi, as well as the strategic mountain-locked town of Chattanooga on the Tennessee–Georgia border. Grant proceeded north to Virginia, while Sherman captured the transportation nexus of Atlanta and began a bloody and ruthless march to the coast, burning everything in his way. With 258,000 men dead, the Confederacy’s defeat was total, and General Robert E. Lee surrendered on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox in Virginia.

The war left the South in chaos. A quarter of the South’s adult white male population had been killed, and two thirds of Southern wealth destroyed. From controlling thirty percent of the nation’s assets in 1860, the South was down to twelve percent in 1870, while the spur the war gave to industrialization meant that the North was booming. For a brief period of Reconstruction, when the South was occupied by Union troops, newly freed Southern blacks were able to vote, and black representatives were elected to both state and federal office. However, unrepentant former Confederates, spurred in part by allegations of profiteering by incoming Northern Republican “carpetbaggers”, thwarted any potential for change, and by the end of the century the Southern states were firmly back under white Democratic control. As Reconstruction withered away, “Jim Crow” segregation laws were imposed, backed by the not-so-secret terror of the Ku Klux Klan, and poll taxes, literacy tests and property qualifications disenfranchised virtually all blacks. Many found themselves little better off as sharecroppers – in which virtually all they could earn from raising crops went to pay their landlords – than they had been as slaves, and there were mass migrations to cities like Memphis and Atlanta, as well as to the North.

Not until the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs Topeka Board of Education outlawed segregation in schools was there any sign that the federal authorities in Washington might concern themselves with inequities in the South. Even then, individual states proved extremely reluctant to effect the required changes. In the face of institutionalized white resistance, nonviolent black protestors coalesced to form the Civil Rights movement, and broke down segregation through a sustained programme of mass action. After tackling such issues as public transport – most famously in the Montgomery bus boycott and the Freedom Rides – and segregated dining facilities, with lunch-counter sit-ins reaching their apex in Greensboro, North Carolina, the campaign eventually culminated in restoring full black voter registration – not without the loss of many protestors’ lives. One fulfilling itinerary through the Southern states today is to trace the footsteps of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, from his birthplace in Atlanta through his church in Montgomery to the site of his assassination in Memphis.

England Tourist Attraction

England Tourist Attraction

Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian’s Wall was built by the Romans to protect their colony Britannia from the tribes in Scotland. It stretches for 117 kilometers (73 miles) across the north of England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. Construction started in 122 AD following a visit by Roman Emperor Hadrian, and was largely completed within six years. Today only stretches of this famous wall are still visible. There is a national path that follows the whole length of the wall from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway.

Warwick Castle
Originally a wooden structure built by William the Conqueror in 1068, Warwick Castle was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. During the Hundred Years War, the facade opposite the town was refortified, resulting in one of the most recognizable examples of 14th century military architecture. In 2001, Warwick Castle was named one of Britain’s “Top 10 historic houses and monuments” and is one of the top attractions in England.

Lake District
Located in north west England in the county of Cumbria, the Lake District is the largest National Park in the country. The main attraction is the lakes and fells (mountains and hills) carved by glacial erosion and providing dramatic and inspiring scenery. It is England’s premier destination for hiking and climbing. The park is visited by about 14 million national and international tourists each year.

The Cotswolds
The Cotswolds refers to a range of gentle hills in south central England, the main range reaching 330 meters (1083 feet) in altitude at its highest point. The region is known for the stone-built villages, historical towns, and stately homes and gardens. The Cotswolds are a popular attraction in England, within easy striking distance of London and several other English urban centers.

Tower of London
Now home to the British Crown Jewels, the Tower of London served as a prison from 1100 to the mid twentieth century. The castle was founded in the winter of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England and served as a royal residence before it became a prison. The Tower of London is reputedly the most haunted building in England. There have been tales of ghosts, including that of Anne Boleyn, inhabiting the tower.

Queens, New York

Queens, New York’s largest borough, is also quickly becoming its hippest, but most travelers haven't clued in… yet. With microbreweries springing up, new boutique hotels, a reinvented seaside at Rockaway, a world-class art scene, and a truly global food culture, 2015 is the year to try Queens.Nowhere is the image of New York as the global melting pot truer than Queens. Browse New York’s biggest Chinatown in Flushing, shop for brilliantly colored saris in Jackson Heights, and inhale the heady aromas of coffee and hookahs in Astoria. The incomparable array of world cuisines makes Queens a destination for food lovers from all parts of New York City.
For your art fix, ogle the new upgrades to the Queens Museum and the Museum of the Moving Image, look for the new Emerging Artists Festival (conceptionevents.com) held in Long Island City, and stroll Astoria’s new 24-block arts district (kaufmanartsdistrict.org). If you prefer sand and surf to paint and canvas, head to Rockaway. Don’t miss the prime eating and drinking scene that has popped up around the boardwalk – this is no cruddy carnival food: think succulent fish tacos, wood-fired pizzas, and wine bars.

Western South Dakota

With a combination of vast natural beauty, quirky small-town charm, Native American cultural sites, and some famously larger-than-life presidential noggins carved into a mountain, it’s hard to find anywhere that looks more like the America of one’s imagination than Western South Dakota. 2015 is the 50th anniversary of the Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup, a chance for cowboys and cowgirls to show their stuff as they move the park’s 1400 buffalo to their winter grazing territory. The Oglala Sioux and National Park Service are working to create the first tribal national park in the southern Badlands, with the aim of bringing buffaloes back to the grasslands where they roamed long before humans settled the area.
An even larger and noisier herd is gathering in 2015 for the 75th anniversary of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the largest annual meeting of motorcycle enthusiasts in the world. Over 500,000 people gather each August, and the 2015 rally is the perfect excuse to channel your Easy Rider and head out on a motorcycle road trip.

New Orleans, Louisiana

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans’ future was far from certain. A decade later, it's clear: The Big Easy is back and thriving. With a mix of refurbished history and new upstarts, the city has a raft of fresh options for travelers – all uniquely New Orleans. In a region that has always prided itself on its local culinary and cocktail traditions, New Orleans hasn’t lost a beat. New Orleans chefs shone at the James Beard awards this year and bars like Twelve Mile Limit are pushing deep into craft cocktail territory making spins on classics, using locally produced products such as old New Orleans Rum and Huhu's Ginger Brew. After dinner and a drink, head to St Claude Avenue for the latest and most eclectic nightlife, from cabaret to gypsy jazz, punk rock, and bounce, New Orleans' homegrown hip-hop dance music.
New Orleans’ love for the spirit of celebration is triumphantly on display every weekend (except during the height of summer) in Second Lines (wwoz.org), community parades put on by neighborhood Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs, and their associated brass bands, that march through the city.

Colorado River region

Ever dreamed of rafting down the Colorado River? With a controversial proposal for large-scale development at the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers – with hotels, a gondola, and more – not to mention diminishing rainfall, and ever increasing flyover traffic from sightseeing tours, now is the time. Some 140 years since John Wesley Powell shared his account of the first river descent, the trip down the longest stretch of navigable river in the US has become one of the iconic US adventure travel experiences – and one that might not last forever. Starting in its namesake Colorado, the river is born as a trickle in Rocky Mountain National Park, a hiker’s paradise. In Utah, it runs through Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. Located between the two, the city of Moab is the go-to hub for desert adventures, with legendary mountain biking, canyon hikes, and river floats. In Arizona, the 280-mile stretch from Lee’s Ferry to Lake Mead through the Grand Canyon features 98 rated rapids, sandy beaches and ancient ruins. The National Park Service restricts the number of people allowed on the water here, so rafters can experience the winding course in relative solitude.
Flagstaff, often treated as a pit stop on the way to the Grand Canyon, is worth a fresh look with its Flagstaff-Grand Canyon Ale Trail for wandering beer lovers and, as the first city to be designated an International Dark Sky City, lots of stargazing options.

North Conway, New Hampshire

If you find yourself in New England, and two roads diverge in a yellow wood, take the one that leads to North Conway, the picturesque village celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2015 along with several neighboring villages. North Conway is quintessential New England, with covered bridges, quaint B&Bs and lazy canoe rides. In autumn, when the town is ablaze with color, visitors can take in the dramatic foliage either on the famed Kancamagus Highway or rail fans can hop aboard the Conway Scenic Railway. Once you’ve had your fill of apple cider donuts and maple syrup, North Conway will help you work it off: it also has New England’s best skiing, miles of hiking trails, and premier climbing destinations in the White Mountains. Never rock climbed before? No worries – North Conway is the perfect place to learn the ropes. Pros scramble for the cliff face of Cathedral Ledge, but local outfitter International Mountain Equipment (ime-usa.com) welcomes newcomers with instruction and popular summer climbing camps for kids.

MID-ATLANTIC & NEW ENGLAND

MID-ATLANTIC & NEW ENGLAND

The three mid-Atlantic states – New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey – stand at the heart of the most populated and industrialized corner of the US. Although dominated in the popular imagination by the grey smokestacks of New Jersey and steel factories of Pennsylvania, these states actually encompass beaches, mountains, islands, lakes, forests, rolling green countryside and many worthwhile small cities and towns.

European settlement here was characterized by considerable shifts and turns: the Dutch, who arrived in the 1620s, were methodically squeezed out by the English, who in turn fought off the French challenge to secure control of the region by the mid-eighteenth century. The Native American population, including the Iroquois Confederacy and Lenni Lenape, had sided with the French against the English and were soon confined to reservations or pushed north into Canada. At first, the economy depended on the fur trade, though by the 1730s English Quakers, along with Amish and Mennonites from Germany, plus a few Presbyterian Irish, had made farming a significant force, their holdings extending to the western limits of the region.

All three states were important during the Revolution: more than half the battles were fought here, including major American victories at Trenton and Princeton in New Jersey. Upstate New York was geographically crucial, as the British forces knew that American control of the Hudson River would effectively divide New England from the other colonies. After the Revolution, industry became the region’s prime economic force, with mill towns springing up along the numerous rivers. By the mid-1850s the large coalfields of northeast Pennsylvania were powering the smoky steel mills of Pittsburgh and the discovery of high-grade crude oil in 1859 marked the beginning of the automobile age. Though still significant, especially in the regions near New York City, heavy industry has now largely been replaced by tourism as the economic engine.

Although many travellers to the East Coast do not venture much further than New York City itself, the region offers varied attractions, from the crashing Atlantic surf of Long Island, through the wooded Catskill Mountains and the imposing Adirondacks, occupying a quarter of the state, to the cultured and pastoral Finger Lakes. In the northwest corner of the state, beyond the Erie Canal cities along I-90, awesome Niagara Falls and artsy post-industrial Buffalo hug the Canadian border. Pennsylvania is best known for the fertile Pennsylvania Dutch country and the two great cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. New Jersey, often pictured as one big industrial carbuncle, offers shameless tourist pleasures along the shore – from the boardwalk and casinos of Atlantic City to the small-town charm of Cape May.

The entire region is well covered by public transport, and metropolitan areas have good local transport systems that radiate out to outlying areas, meaning that only in the wilder forest and mountain areas do you really need a car. Car rental is expensive out of New York City, so better done from one of the other cities.

NEW ENGLAND

The states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine – collectively known as New England – exemplify America at its most nostalgic: country stores that brim with cider and gourds, snow-dusted hillsides, miles of blazing autumn foliage, clam shacks, cranberry bogs and an unruly ocean that distinguishes and defines it all. Scratch just beneath the surface, and you’ll also uncover fiercely independent locals, innovative chefs, some of the country’s best contemporary art museums and a profound sense of history.

Boston especially is celebrated as the birthplace of American independence – so many seminal events took place here, or nearby at Lexington and Concord. New England was also home to many of the preeminent figures of American literature, from Mark Twain and Henry Thoreau to Emily Dickinson and Jack Kerouac. The Ivy League colleges – Harvard, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth et al – are the oldest in the country and remain hugely influential, continually channelling new life into towns like Cambridge and New Haven and setting a decidedly liberal tone throughout the region.

To the east, the peninsula of Cape Cod flexes off Massachusetts like a well-tanned arm. Here you will find three hundred miles of shoreline, sea roses, tumbling sand dunes and the fantastic isles of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. In the western part of the state, the tranquil Berkshires offer the best in summer festivals as well as fascinating art museums. The sights of Connecticut and Rhode Island tend to be urban, but away from I-95 you’ll find plenty of tranquil pockets, particularly in the way of Newport and Block Island, fifty miles south of Providence. Boston is a vibrant and enchanting city from which to set off north, where the population begins to thin out (and the seafood gets better as you go). The rest of Massachusetts is rich in historical and literary sights, while further inland, the lakes and mountains of New Hampshire and Maine offer rural wildernesses to rival any in the nation. Maine is especially known for its coastline, dotted with lighthouses and wild blueberry bushes. The beloved country roads of Vermont offer pleasant wandering through rural towns and serene forests; during your travels, be sure to pick up some maple syrup, a local delicacy, for your pancakes back home.

The best time to visit New England is in late September and October, when visitors flock to see the magnificent autumn foliage. Particularly vivid in Vermont, it’s an event that’s not to be missed.

History of New York City

History of New York City

The cultural and financial capital of the USA, if not the world, New York City is an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense romantic appeal for visitors. Its past is visible in the tangled lanes of Wall Street and tenements of the Lower East Side; meanwhile, towering skyscrapers serve as monuments of the modern age. Street life buzzes round the clock and shifts markedly from one area to the next. The waterfront, redeveloped in many places, and the landscaped green spaces – notably Central Park – give the city a chance to catch its breath. Iconic symbols of world culture – the neon of Times Square, the sculptures at Rockefeller Center – always seem just a stone’s throw away. For raw energy, dynamism and social diversity, you’d be hard-pressed to top it; simply put, there’s no place quite like it.

New York City comprises the central island of Manhattan and the four outer boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Manhattan, to many, is New York; certainly, this is where you’re likely to stay and spend most of your time. Though you could spend weeks here and still barely scratch the surface, there are some key attractions and pleasures that you won’t want to miss. These include the different ethnic neighbourhoods, like Chinatown, and the more artsy concentrations of Soho and the East and West villages. Of course, there is also the celebrated architecture of Midtown and the Financial District, as well as many fabulous museums. In between sightseeing, you can eat just about anything, at any time, cooked in any style; you can drink in any kind of company; and enjoy any number of obscure movies. The more established arts – dance, theatre and music – are superbly presented. For the avid consumer, the choice of shops is almost numbingly exhaustive.

Manhattan is a hard act to follow, though Brooklyn is a worthy rival: there’s the ragged glory of Coney Island, the trim brownstones of Brooklyn Heights, the foodie destinations in South Brooklyn and the hip nightlife of Williamsburg. The rest of the outer boroughs also have their draws, namely the innovative museums of Long Island City and Astoria, both in Queens; and the renowned Bronx Zoo and adjacent botanical gardens in the Bronx. Last but not least, a free trip on the Staten Island Ferry is a sea-sprayed, refreshing good time.

Brief history

The first European to see Manhattan Island, then inhabited by the Lenape, was the Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazano, in 1524. Dutch colonists established the settlement of New Amsterdam exactly one hundred years later. The first governor, Peter Minuit, was the man who famously bought the island for a handful of trinkets. Though we don’t know for sure who “sold” it (probably a northern branch of the Lenni Lenape), the other side of the story was that the concept of owning land was utterly alien to Native Americans – they had merely agreed to support Dutch claims to use the land. By the time the British laid claim to the area in 1664, the heavy-handed rule of governor Peter Stuyvesant had so alienated its inhabitants that the Dutch relinquished control without a fight.

Renamed New York, the city prospered and grew, its population reaching 33,000 by the time of the American Revolution. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 facilitated trade farther inland, spurring the city to become the economic powerhouse of the nation, the base later in the century of tycoons such as Cornelius Vanderbilt and financiers like J.P. Morgan. The Statue of Liberty arrived from France in 1886, a symbol of the city’s role as the gateway for generations of immigrants, and the early twentieth century saw the sudden proliferation of Manhattan’s extraordinary skyscrapers, which cast New York as the city of the future in the eyes of an astonished world.

Almost a century later, the events of September 11, 2001, which destroyed the World Trade Center, shook New York to its core. Yet the Financial District bounced back with a new array of glitzy skyscrapers (as well as some moving memorials) to reassert the neighbourhood’s preeminence. It was hit again, along with many low-lying waterfront areas, by 2012’s destructive Hurricane Sandy, but the city is well on its way to recovering from that blow too.

This volcanic hill overlooking Quito’s Old Town features a statue of the Virgin Mary at its summit. The statue is very unique. It is one of the only representations of the Virgin Mary to feature angel wings. It was constructed of more than 7,000 separate aluminum pieces and stands 45 meters tall.

Underwater Attractions in World

Underwater Attractions in World

Yonaguni Monument, Okinawa
Found off the coast of Yonaguni, the southernmost of Japan’s Ryukyu Islands, not much has been confirmed about the origins of the enormous rock formation. Containing step-like features, scientists dispute whether the “monument” is natural or man-made, and several theories have cropped up encompassing everything from monolithic construction to government conspiracy. Nevertheless, the site remains a popular destination for divers, providing a unique opportunity to stand on a massive underwater structure and witness an abundance of marine life brought on by the strong Yonaguni current.

Museo Subacuatico de Arte, Cancun
Created in 2009, the Museo Subacuatico de Arte (MUSA) is the largest underwater attraction of its kind, now consisting of 500 life-size sculptures meant to showcase the relationship between art and environmental science. Founded by the Director of the National Marine Park, the President of the Cancun Nautical Association and an English sculptor, this unique museum, while being extremely cool, serves two very important ecological purposes: to divert traffic from the increasingly over-crowded waters of the Cancun-Isla Mujeres Marine Park and to facilitate the recovery of the area’s resources by providing an alternate complex reef structure safe for marine life colonization. The site of the underwater museum is both snorkel and scuba friendly, divided into 2 sections of differing depth. The Salon Nizuc is only 4 meters deep and is viewable via snorkeling only, while the 8-meter deep Salon Manchones allows for a much more up-close and personal experience for divers (and snorkelers if they so choose).

Truk Lagoon, Micronesia
This remote mid-ocean location found about 1800 km off the coast of New Guinea gained international media attention after its 1969 exploration by French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. The lagoon and its surrounding 125 square km landmass served as the primary Japanese military base in the South Pacific during the Second World War, a fact that has remained unforgettable by the vast amount of largely preserved sunken ships that can be found throughout the area. Despite essentially being a Japanese military burial ground (human remains can still be seen in some of the wrecks), the site has become a popular scuba diving destination, providing a unique insight to the lives (and deaths) of those killed during the February 1944 allied attack known as Operation Hailstone. Today, divers can see ship decks littered with human objects, holds with remnants of weapons, military vehicles and artifacts and, what many consider to be most interesting, the remains of submarine I-169 Shinohara, a vessel involved in the 1941 attack of Pearl Harbor.

Underwater Post Office, Vanuatu
For anyone who feels as though they have sent snail mail from every possible place on earth, this one is for you. Found in the waters of Hideaway Island in Vanuatu, the Underwater Post Office provides visitors with the chance to write a post card on dry land and then dive 3 meters to mail them, resulting in a truly unique postal experience. Opened for business in 2003, the official office consists of a small structure with a counter that houses postal workers during opening hours and a tiny yellow mailbox for after-hours postage. The site is accessible to both divers and snorkelers and open hours are advertised by a raised flag visible form the island’s beach.

Christ of the Abyss, Key Largo
One of three bronze statues (all cast from the same mold) created by sculptor Guido Galletti, the Christ of the Abyss statue found in Key Largo, Florida was gifted to the Underwater Society of America in 1962. The extremely popular scuba diving attraction is found about 25 feet deep in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, and is weighed down by a 9-ton concrete base. A replica of the original (which is found in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of San Frottuoso, Italy), the statue stands 8.5 feet tall and depicts Christ offering a blessing of peace, with his face and arms raised upward. Aside from this world-famous attraction, this site also offers exceptional snorkeling and scuba diving for its expansive coral and marine life.

Travel Waterparks in America

Travel Waterparks in America

Water World
It’s not a city that one necessarily associates waterparks with but Denver has a lot going for it when you consider Water World. With over 50 attractions for all family members it is considered one of the premier waterparks across the country. Some of the highlights of this park is the two waves pool, one tamer than the other; the lazy river and the multitude of tube rides. The most famous of attractions here is the ‘Voyage to the Center of the Earth’ ride which takes place completely inside and is a multi-rider raft ride which takes you back to when the dinosaurs lived, throughout caves, down steep drops and feels more like a theme park ride. For those seeking thrills make sure to try out the ‘Mile High Flyer’, which is the first hydro-magnetic water coaster in the Rockies; that’s right we said water coaster.

Wet ’n’ Wild 
It is considered America’s first waterpark and it is remarkable that they still remain one of the best across the country. What visitors love most about this park is the amount of multi-rider slides and the absolutely amazing kids play area. Families it seems are drawn most to this park and kids love to visit the family orientated ‘Blastaway Beach’. Here a giant sandcastle, 17 slides and over 160 water attractions meets kids and parents in the biggest water playground for kids in the state. For those looking for a little more excitement, try the Bomb Bay where you plunge from six stories high or the newest slide, the Aqua Drag Racer where you can race three other people over 360 feet of adrenaline pumping thrills. Located just a stone’s throw away from Disney, this park is often less crowded than those located at the parks.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park 
Speaking of Disney, Blizzard Beach Water Park is next up on the list of the best in America. It was the third most visited waterpark in the world in 2014 and it’s not hard to see why. The majority of the attractions are located on top of Mount Gushmore, an artificial hill that splits into three different sections. Park goers can choose to either walk up the staircase or ride the one-way chairlift to the top. ‘Summit Plummet’ is one of the most popular slides as riders whisk down this 13 story slide at about 60 miles per hour. ‘Teamboat Springs’ is a family favorite and sends the whole family down a series of twisting and cascading waterfalls in one giant tube. An excellent kid’s area with mini-waterslides, a variety of shade and sun and great dining options await you at this ever popular waterpark.

Wet ’n’ Wild Hawaii 
It is one of the most beautiful parks on this list, set in a lush tropical setting surrounded by natural cliffs and breathtaking landscapes. It is also one of the most popular waterparks in the country and it is easy to see why people love to visit. The simulated surfing experience is one of the most popular attractions and gives visitors the chance to take on a continuous 40-foot wave, with either a surfboard or body board. The newest addition to this park is the ‘Waimea Whirl’, a two-person thrill ride that drops riders into bowls of waters, spins them around and shoots them back out. A multi-level kids water playground, a lazy river through the tropical gardens and an adults only area makes this waterpark a must visit this year.

Sea World’s Aquatica 
It’s part waterpark and part marine animal attraction but the fact of the matter is people absolutely love this waterpark. The park features attractions and water activities for people of all ages but there most signature ride is the ‘Dolphin Plunge’. Enclosed tube slides send riders through the home of the black-and-white Commerson’s Dolphins, known for their playfulness and super speeds. A new slide recently opened here that claims to be the fastest and steepest waterslide in Orlando and sends riders straight down 40 feet before twisting and turning them through tunnels. The lazy river here takes riders through an underwater world full of exotic fish and dolphins. Visitors love the side by side wave pools, one offering constant high rolling waves, the other a mystery. A white sand beach with plenty of shade and lounge chairs complete the pools.

Tourism Trends

Tourism Trends 

Crowdsourcing Luxury Hotels
Traditionally, the construction of hotels has been financed by banks and investments, but the luxury hotel segment has been increasingly turning away from these sources of financing toward a new option: crowdsourcing. With a potentially long lead time on funding, individual luxury hotels with unique features are finding that appealing directly to the people interested in what they have to offer enables them to secure financing that might be denied by more traditional routes. Through crowdfunding, individuals interested in different hotel concepts can directly invest in the development of these new properties. One example is the Prodigy Network crowdfunding real estate firm, which is currently planning to construct a 194-unit space in downtown New York. The hotel will offer space for both short- and long-term stays.

Smart Travel
The advent of wearable tech is ushering in a new era of travel and tourism, according to some industry reports. While apps have provided some customization and reviews from individual travelers have offered tourists more and more information about the best places to see, eat and sleep, apps like TripAdvisor for the Apple Watch can send push notifications to users, with information about nearby attractions, highly rated restaurants in the user’s vicinity and more. Google Now also offers suggestions, using geo-localization to keep its suggestions relevant to the user, while also taking note of the user’s past behavior. The result will be an increase in customization that makes travel suited to your individual preferences—which, in theory, should make your trips all the more enjoyable.

Growing the Sharing Economy in China
Sharing-economy companies like Uber and Airbnb have become popular with travelers in the West (although they’re not without controversy). In China, there’s also growing interest in the sharing economy styled by such Western companies, although there’s a definite preference for the home-grown; 2014 saw a rise in the number of Chinese companies following the sharing-economy model, a trend that continued in 2015. Local media sites like Weibo and WeChat are used for reviews, while Tujia offers short-term rentals of luxury apartments. Ride-sharing and private rental companies are also on the rise in the country. That said, these start-ups have faced challenges and a shaky start, but it seems as though 2016 will be a year of exponential growth for the sharing economy. Travelers to China can expect to find more of these services and to hear more about them as well.

Iran Opens Up
Since the revolution in the late 1970s, Iran has been fairly closed to the rest of the world. The country has been especially hostile toward the West, meaning that tourism has been limited for nearly 40 years. Global relations with Iran have been improving over the past couple of years, in part due to a call for increased cooperation among Middle Eastern countries. Although Iran receives millions of visitors each year, foreign travel companies are now ready to enter the market, thus opening it up to increasing external tourism and potentially making the country one of the must-see locations for 2016. With 19 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, there’s plenty of reason for tourists to head to Iran, the seat of the former Persian Empire. Other attractions include over a dozen ski resorts and important pilgrimage sites for Muslims.

Solo Travel
Traveling alone is nothing new. What’s new is that more and more people are interested in traveling alone—and that the people most interested in going solo are millennials. An MMGY Global Survey of American adults found that 37% of millennial respondents planned to travel by themselves in July 2015, an increase of 5% from 2014. Some suggest that millennials travel more than their parents and grandparents, simply because travel is more affordable and accessible than it was in the past. While it’s certainly true that travel is almost a way of life among younger generations, partially because of affordability and access, that doesn’t explain why so many go it alone. The leading reason for solo travel is that it’s quite simply easier to plan a trip for 1 than for 2 or more.

Americans Take More Time Off
Many U.S. corporations have long held the idea that working harder is a good thing. Growing evidence, however, suggests that not only are vacations important for workers, they’re also beneficial for companies from a financial standpoint. Unused vacation days create a financial burden should an employee (or a bunch of employees) suddenly decide to “cash” in on their paid days off. Many companies are also finding that workers who have paid time off are more motivated and loyal—which means better productivity and creativity while they are in the office. The result is that more companies are encouraging their employees to ensure they take all of their vacation days, and to take time off with some regularity. Some companies, like Netflix and Virgin Group, even offer unlimited paid holidays to their employees.

Reasons For Visit Albania

Reasons For Visit Albania

Tirana
Tirana, Albania’s capital city is all at once relaxing and overwhelming, chaotic and friendly, familiar yet adventurous. It is a colorful city, a little rough around the edges, but with plenty of culture and architecture -cementing its status as one of the “It” European capitals. Head out in the morning to enjoy the locals hard at work, and then find a café and indulge in a hot (but thick) cup of coffee and a pastry. The food in Tirana is some of most comforting you will find anywhere; plates of fresh veggies and bowls of stewed meats and bread often arrive at your table family style, all while being friendly on your wallet! The people are what make Tirana so enjoyable; the historical landmarks are beautiful, but the locals are so hard working and charming, you cannot help but feel the sense of pride right along with them.

Berat
More commonly known as the “Town of the Windows”, Berat is famous for its rows of Ottoman houses embedded into the hills. Although more difficult to get to than the capital, Tirana, Berat is well worth the journey because of its incredible unique characteristics and architectural planning. If you plan to visit, it very well could be your highlight of Albania; the white Ottoman houses and rows upon rows of windows leading up to castle on top of the hill are stunning. At times, when the clouds are low and the weather is misty, it has an almost ethereal feel to it. Wandering around the streets you are exposed to more Albanian hospitality, as well as lovely, quaint streets and historical buildings.

Coastal Living
Unbeknownst to even the most seasoned travelers, Albania has some of the most spectacular coastline in all of Europe. The beaches are white stand, leading one way to bright blue sea, and the other, spectacular, dramatic mountains. The towns right along the popular main road are quite developed and have lost some of their charm, but venture off the main path and you will find some quintessential coastal villages waiting for your arrival.

Gjirokastra
Along with Berat, Gjirokastra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its typical, Ottoman architectural characteristics. This town gives true meaning to multicultural; it is a mecca of different religious and cultural communities that have managed to coexist for centuries. It has many historical buildings, like a castle and many churches, as well as a bazaar and mosque; the streets are brimming with history to fill any traveler to cultural satiety.

Kruje
Located in the north of Albania, Kruje, at only 20 kilometers from Tirana, it is a quick day trip from the capital city. Kruje is nestled at the foot of Mount Kruje, in a truly spectacular natural setting; even if you had no interest in history, the landscape will turn every single head. But the town itself has its own little history; the Castle, found at the highest point in town, is a perfect example of a medieval fortress, offering a great view of the city. The food is delicious and filling, and the town receives surprisingly few tourists, so don’t be alarmed if some of the locals invite you in for a coffee or a meal! Kruje makes for an excellent day trip; although one could very easily stay for a week- it is a great place to recharge your batteries after a chaotic trip to Tirana!

Beautiful Lake in United State

Beautiful Lake in United State

Lake George, New York
Lake George checks off all the boxes of what you'd look for in a typical lake retreat -- which is exactly why we love it. Though it's a low-key year-round destination, summer months are most popular, particularly among families traveling the hour from Albany or 45 minutes from Saratoga Springs. Lake-focused activities include rafting, parasailing, and kayaking, and visitors can also golf, go horseback riding, and hike the surrounding Adirondacks.

 Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada
Lake Tahoe reaches its peak tourism during the winter ski season, but in the summer, a smaller -- but equally outdoorsy -- crowd comes for the hiking, fishing, and kayaking. The brave of heart swim in the chilly lake waters, and other fun activities include hot-air ballooning and gondola rides. There are also a few dispersed museums and historic mansions for those seeking a bit of culture during their lakeside getaway.

Lake Placid, New York

Host city of the 1980 Winter Olympics, Lake Placid nonetheless experiences its busiest season in the summer, thanks to leisurely activities such as swimming and boating. But bon't let the name "Lake Placid" fool you; the actual lake is a couple miles away. Instead, the village of Lake Placid lies on the shores of Mirror Lake, where visitors often take out kayaks and canoes.

 Lake Austin, Texas
Part of the Colorado River, Lake Austin is a lovely reservoir in Austin where city dwellers seek relief from the heat in the summer months. It, along with six others, makes up the Highland Lakes, and -- while its main purposes include flood control and power generation -- Lake Austin is also a popular spot for recreation; visitors can fish, boat, and kayak.

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

The same-named body of water in Europe may be better known, but Wisconsin's Lake Geneva is a lovely place to spend a summer weekend stateside. The birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons (creator E. Gary Gygax was a longtime resident), Lake Geneva is a quiet town with little shops, cute eateries, and of course, lakefront locales. Visitors and residents sail, boat, parasail, golf, and swim during the warmer months.

Logo design is an important area of graphic design, and one of the most difficult to perfect. The logo (ideogram) is the image embodying an organization. Because logos are meant to represent companies' brands or corporate identities and foster their immediate customer recognition, it is counterproductive to frequently redesign logos.

While color is considered important to brand recognition and logo design, it shouldn't conflict with logo functionality, and it needs to be remembered that color connotations and associations are not consistent across all social and cultural groups. Logo’s colour is an important decision because of its long term implications and its role in creating differentiation among competitors' logos.
