Key West International Airport Authorised to Offer Flights to Cuba

The U.S federal authorities have given permission to Key West International Airport allowing it to offer a new Cuba route for American travellers.

Key West International Airport is the latest airport in the United States to be given permission to provide flights to Cuba holidays for American residents but because it is a small airport, the planes will be restricted to carrying only 10 passengers or less to Cuban airports.

Florida's southernmost airport is located just 90 miles across the Florida Straits from the Caribbean communist island and the charter flights to Cuba will take just 30 minutes for American travellers.

Until recently only three airports in the United States - Miami, Los Angeles and New York's JFK - were permitted to operate Cuba flights but in January this year, President Obama relaxed restrictions on the ongoing U.S-Cuba travel embargo, and several airports have received permission to operate charter flights to the island nation. These include airports in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Tampa and San Juan in Puerto Rico.

American residents are now permitted to take Cuba holidays for religious, academic, cultural, educational, and professional purposes and Cuban-Americans can now visit their homeland without any restrictions.

The Director of Airports for Monroe County where Key West International Airport is located, Peter Horton, said that the authorisation email he received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection did have some restrictions for Cuba flights.

"It does not open up flights for the average American and it limits arriving passengers to 10 per flight. But it's the first step and it's an important one," Horton explained.

He added: "Cuban-Americans with relatives in Cuba could fly from here, when we have an airline arranged, as could anyone with a federal license to visit Cuba, but not tourists visiting the Keys, or locals."

Key West International Airport has already begun a $2.25 million upgrade project that is expected to be completed in two years and will see the expansion of facilities for Customs and Border Protection in order to receive more passengers.

According to Cuban statistics, the number of U.S citizens who visited Cuba in 2010 increased by 20 per cent and 350,000 Cuban-Americans visited family and friends following the relaxed travel restrictions.

The Caribbean island is expecting to receive nearly three million tourists in 2011 as travellers from all over the globe visit Cuba hotels, tourist attractions, beach resorts and historical sites.

The terminal is located on the site of the former Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority visitor information centre and it spans 2,000 square-metres across two dedicated halls; one of which will be used as a luggage handling facility, and the other will be a passenger centre comprising a waiting lounge, security section, prayer rooms, currency exchange, visitor information centre and custom and immigration control facilities for tourists arriving to and departing from Abu Dhabi holidays.

The Vice-President of Operations for Ports Unit at ADPC, Captain Mohamed Al Shamisi, said: "We are delighted to see the establishment of a cruise terminal at Mina Zayed and look forward to receiving the first passengers. The port is a key part of Abu Dhabi's infrastructure and this project demonstrates the ongoing support between Government organisations to develop the economy and the tourism sector in the emirate."

The new cruise terminal will officially open during a welcome ceremony at the end of October when the luxurious MSC Lirica cruise liner arrives in Abu Dhabi. The city will be used as its home port as it sets off on its series of eight day/seven night cruises around the Arabian Gulf. The 59,000 ton vessel will bring 2,199 passengers to holidays in Abu Dhabi and the Gulf region over the winter months.

The MSC Lirica is the first liner to use the United Arab Emirates capital as its homeport and it is expected to bring an influx of international tourists taking holidays to Abu Dhabi, provide alternative accommodation to Abu Dhabi hotels, and bring a range of benefits to the local economy.

The Director General of ADTA, HE Mubarak Al Muhairi, said: "Cruise shipping has enjoyed strong recession-proof growth for many years. The market obviously ranges between low cost volume cruise business and very high end exclusive cruises – Abu Dhabi is targeting the higher end segment."

The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority is planning to build a permanent cruise terminal at Mina Zayed and Al Muhairi explained: "Ultimately our capacity to build the cruise tourism business will rely on a combination of good planning, good infrastructure, strong marketing and industry co-operation.

"With this in mind, we now have government approval for the concept of a world-class cruise terminal which is required if we are to fulfil our ambition of becoming a home port of choice. We have singled out three possible sites in the Mina Zayed vicinity and have commissioned technical feasibility studies into these. Once these are complete, we will go to the design stage. We intend to make the permanent facility truly world-class. We realise we will be servicing new generation vessels that need ashore the same high-level facilities the passengers experience on board.

Al Muhairi added: "We have strong hopes of the cruise business continuing to grow into the future with longer term projects for 300 calls and 600,000 passengers by 2030."

Essential Travel Tips for Boracay

Although the famousWhiteBeachwhich is found in Station 1 is only about 4.5 km in length, surprisingly there is a lot to see and do there. So, if you are planning to visit the island for just a few days it is crucial to be in the know as to what activities, restaurants, hotels and other amusements are available before arriving in Boracay. This will help you make a list of all the things you want to see and do and it will ensure that you do not go home regretting that you did not get to see or do something that you wanted to.

 

First and foremost is finding a flight to Boracay. There are many different Boracay flights. Select a flight fromManilato Caticlan. Some airlines have the option of flying into Kalibo fromManila. This will require you to take a 2 hour bus ride just to get to the boats that will take you on another 30 minute ride toWhiteBeach. Yes, flying to Kalibo will essentially save you a few bucks but is it really worth the long and grueling bus ride?

 

Once you have booked your flight, decide on whether you would like to stay at a resort or a hotel. There is a vast selection of accommodations in Boracay so choose wisely. There are many reasonably priced and well-kept hotels found in Station 1 as well as a handful of fancier hotels with a heftier price tag. The Tides hotel is highly recommended as it is just steps away from D'Mall, is fairly new and has clean and spacious guest rooms.

 

The next step is to plan out your daytime activities. Do you want to lay on the beach all day or do you want to try scuba diving? There are many adventurous activities available such as jet-skiing, parasailing, reef walking, ATV rentals, banana boat rides and snorkeling that are all great daytime activities.

 

Boracay is an island that does not sleep. So do some research on the best restaurants and make sure to feed your stomach well before hitting the bars. Aria is a well-known Boracay favorite that serves some of the best Italian cuisine on the island. If you want to dance the night away, check out the newly opened super club which is appropriately named, Epic.

Boracay: Home for the Holidays

Celebrating Christmas and the New Year are major in thePhilippines. Although, many picture this time of the year with snowflakes and pine trees, why not opt for something a little different. Instead of planning a winter wonderland, why not try a getaway to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world? Start a different tradition, instead of venturing off on an excruciatingly long plane ride just to bundle yourselves up in scarves, boots and thick, down jackets, fly from Manila to Boracay in less than two hours. Enjoy the holidays in your beach attire and pack the children's sand toys for an unforgettable trip.

 

Because the celebration of Christmas and the New Year is so popular in the Philippines it comes as no surprise that the most well-known beach destination in the country goes all out when it comes to observing these special occasions. Boracay is a great place to visit anytime of the year but there is just something spectacular in the air when traveling there throughout the Christmas season. The air is cooler, yet the sun still shines brightly, the resorts are always gorgeous but with some festive decorations they are much more stunning and the people are ten times friendlier during this time of year.

 

Airfare to the island is slightly higher during the New Year. However, it is very much worth it. The people of Boracay always welcome the New Year with a bang. One can expect to see anything from live bands, local celebrities, fire dancers and outdoor clubs scattered throughout the island. Boracay is known for their nightlife, so just imagine what a New Years party on the island is like. Saying that it will be memorable is an understatement.

 

Sometimes it is nice to break tradition and try something new. Check out the many resorts and hotels online and pick out your home for the holidays. Whether you are young and single or have a family, there are accommodations that will suit your every need. Enjoy your Christmas dinner with a view of the beach. Spending the holidays in Boracay will surely be unforgettable.

 

Fly to paradise on a safe airline in the Philippines, such as Seair. Seair can take you directly to Caticlan. For more information on flights and other promotions, please visit www.flyseair.com .

New bridge connects Cancun holidays to Puerto Aventuras and Tulum

A new construction giving holidaymakers easier access to get to and from the various exciting sites to be explored during holidays in Cancun, a new bypass bridge will now be connecting Playa del Carmen to other Cancun sites of tourist interest.

Recently, Playa del Carmen Real Estate has been busy with building plans and new infrastructure developments to improve accessibility by residents, tourists and foreign holiday-home owners in Cancun.

These new road enhancements have not only made the lives of citizens and holidaymakers enjoying Cancun holidays easier, they have also given the city a more modern, urban touch and the kind of smoothness and efficiency expected from tourists around the world who expect this kind of state-of-the-art infrastructure when they come on luxury holidays to Cancun.

And now, thanks to the finishing of the latest and final construction phase, visitors can enjoy more time at resort and less time on the road with the newly unveiled Playa del Carmen bypass bridge. The addition of this new bridge means that the journey time from Cancun to top deluxe hotels Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Dreams Tulum will be reduced by 20 – 35 minutes!

The brand new 16-mile long bypass starts at Cancun and ends in Tulum, intersecting with the existing highway just south of the airport. This new bridge will alleviate traffic through Playa del Carmen, decrease congestion around Tulum's town centre, and will also benefit the environment by improving air and sound quality along the Riviera Maya. Additionally, and most importantly, the new bridge also cuts out traffic lights and speed bumps through Playa del Carmen, making for a quicker trip to the popular tourist zones of Puerto Aventuras and Tulum.

Puerto Aventuras

However, as good as this news may sound now, initially the project didn't get off to a good start. When plans for the bridge were first announced, there were some dissenting voices. Some protested that the bridges would have the effect of dividing the city in to beach side of the highway and the other non-beach side. But the concerns were soon put to rest as for the most part they were unfounded and didn't generate lot of support. The bridge's design was carefully thought out and has been made intelligently with posts instead of closed concrete, allowing for clear vision to the other side. While approaching the completed section of the first bridge on a small downtown road, a vehicle driver will not notice the bridge until reaching the federal highway itself.

Those coming to the area to enjoy holidays in Cancun will now have full and easy access to a vast range of sites and facilities. Just at the point where the bridge ends there is a Sam's Club, they can also find Playa del Carmen's newest and swankiest shopping mall: Centro Maya, supermarket Soriana, a cinema and many other leisure venues.

The museum also offers the possibility to listen to classical music and enjoy theatre plays in the Chamber of Barcelona, ​​among other cultural activities. And for those who are more interested in the machines, there is also a corner at the museum, since there is a room dedicated to the machines of the old Catalan chocolate factories.

The collection of iconic pieces of chocolate should not be missed in the sweetest of the museums of Barcelona . Among these wonderful chocolate sculptures we can find several famous buildings in Barcelona, ​​celebrities and characters of several stories. For example, a scene from Don Quixote and the giant windmills, the Dragon of the steps of the Parc Güell, or the little house in the movie Up.

 

The Museum of Xocolata Barcelona is in the neighborhood of El Born, in the Commerce Street No 36 on the ground floor of a former barracks, near the zoo.
