Not only does Los Angeles beckon movie buffs and theme park goers but the City of Angels is a burgeoning spot for cannabis tourism in California. Recreational marijuana is legal in the Golden State with licensed dispensaries selling an assortment of flower, pre-rolls, vape pens, balms, and more. Seeing as it’s not permitted to smoke in all public spaces or at non-smoking accommodations, only these cannabis-friendly Airbnbs in Los Angeles give you the green light to blaze up in comfort.
One of Web3's busiest buzz words is “community.” As is the case with many far-reaching words, it’s not always clear just what “community” promises. Sometimes it can mean readership, other times it reflects a steadfast fanbase and then there are times when it boils down to social media engagement. Perhaps at its best, “community” represents landing in a foreign land and meeting internet friends in real life.
As travelers may be looking for a bargain on future fall and winter travel following a busy summer season, a new report may point passengers in the right direction.
Is the luxury hotel an endangered species? In Los Angeles, hotel operators say it may be if the “Responsible Hotel Ordinance” passes on the March 2024 ballot. The measure would essentially compel hotels with vacancies to house homeless people alongside guests.
Toulouse lies between France's Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, not far from the Pyrenees mountains as well as a number of charming cities such as Bordeaux, Agen, Carcassonne and others.
These days, the hotel world is abuzz with “sleep tourism,” a clever albeit trendy marketing term used to describe programming that extends beyond blackout curtains and soft, plush bedding. A 2016 study in the Current Biology journal expands on the “first-night effect” in human sleep research — stating that new environments often cause tossing and turning. So, then what’s a weary traveler to do while — trying— to sleep in New York City (aka the city that never sleeps)?
With the 2023 US Open now underway at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, many tourism-related locations are serving their own offerings. Here is a roundup of other events and activities happening near or around the time of the US Open.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) added four new airlines to its beloved TSA PreCheck program this week, making it easier for travelers to expedite airport security no matter where they’re flying.
In the picturesque town of Chessy, under 20 miles east of the center of the French capital, is Disneyland Paris. The park has two main areas: Disneyland Park, where classic Disney characters come to life over 40 attractions divided into five thematic areas; and Walt Disney Studios, a tribute to movie magic and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks. Although it’s only a 40 minute train ride from the Paris, if you’re traveling with kids, or if you’re a big kid yourself and want to have an immersive Disney experience, opting for accommodation nearby means less travel time and more Disney magic. There’s a great selection of Airbnb Disneyland Paris properties minutes from the park’s gates. They offer a comfortable home from home, where you can unwind after a thrilling day. And as Disney can make for an expensive vacation, you cook your meals in a fully equipped kitchen, saving you a significant amount on dining expenses. These are some of the top Airbnbs from well-equipped apartments to family-friendly homes.
Mont-Saint-Michel, France’s most famous and mysterious island, is one of the country’s most visited sites with 3 million tourists coming every year to marvel at the islet and its 1000-year-old abbey. While the island isn’t large and can be visited in just one day, it’s busy, making the narrow cobblestone streets, the numerous steep stairs, and every corner of the abbey, difficult to navigate. To make the most out of a visit to the area, visitors should stay in a Mont-Saint-Michel hotel for a couple of days, walk the trails around the bay, take a guided tour of the bay itself, and come to the island very early or very late to see it at its best: tranquil and free of crowds. But there’s one rule of thumb about hotels near Mont-Saint-Michel: Closer does not mean better. Staying a few miles away may prevent you from waking up to a view of the islet, but you’ll get much more bang for your buck.
Big Sur is an amazing place to visit and explore. It’s a rugged stretch of California coastline that has an incredible combination of mountains, ocean views, beaches, and redwood forests. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing day on the beach or more adventurous activities like hiking in the Santa Lucia Mountains, these Big Sur hotels ensure you’re within reach.
If you’ve been following the news lately, it’s plain to see that travel is back in a big way, and with it, long lines and crowds at the airports. Reports of long waits in airport check-in and security lines likely have many travelers looking into trusted traveler programs and security expediting services such as TSA PreCheck (which costs $78 for a five-year membership, and $70 to renew) and Clear (which costs $189 per year).
