Thailand's Phuket will ban travel from the rest of the country from Aug. 3-16 to try to stop a surge in coronavirus cases from spreading to the resort island, but overseas visitors will be largely unaffected, the foreign ministry said on Thursday.

Desaru Coast, Malaysia’s up-and-coming luxury travel destination, has been named in Time magazine’s list of World’s Greatest Places 2021.

England will allow fully vaccinated visitors from the European Union and United States to arrive without needing to quarantine from next week, in a huge and long-awaited boost for airlines and travel companies.

Dangling from umber cliffs that tower over Africa's westernmost shoreline, a crew of Senegalese climbers hunt for footholds that they say are vanishing. Rock climbing falls behind wrestling, football and surfing as well-loved Senegalese pastimes, but it has bound together a small community of locals and expats who say that their sport is under threat.

July 23, 2021781 Views

The Great Barrier Reef will not be added to a list of World Heritage Sites that are "in danger" after a UN panel on Friday agreed to defer a vote until 2022 amid intensive lobbying by Australia. A United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) committee last month recommended the Great Barrier Reef be classified as "in danger", drawing an angry response from Australia. Desperate to avoid a politically embarrassing classification for a tourist attraction that draws about 5 million people each year and supports nearly 70,000 jobs - Australia's Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley travelled to more than a dozen countries in recent weeks to secure support. Speaking ahead of the decision, Ley assured the 21-country panel that Canberra was committed to...
