Travel With A Conscience
August 20, 2008 on 5:59 am | In Adventure Travel, Africa, Airlines, Asia, Australia, Canada, Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Mexico, Middle East, Pacific Islands, South America, USA | Comments Off
Eco-friendly travellers to benefit from launch of www.ResponsibleTravelInsurance.com
With carbon emissions and the environment at the top of everyone’s agenda, many holidaymakers are today looking for ways to enjoy foreign travel while retaining their green credentials. The launch of responsibletravelinsurance.com from Voyager Insurance Services, is offering a simple but effective solution. Travellers can put something back when buying travel insurance as all policies will financially benefit projects run by the Travel Industry Offset Scheme* (TICOS), ideal for those with a conscience.
Underwritten by Elvia Travel Insurance International (ETII) and supported by claims handling and international medical assistance from Mondial Assistance, responsibletravelinsurance.com is offering comprehensive single-trip, long stay and annual multi-trip and European Vehicle Assistance.
“Air travel, in particular, is under the spotlight in relation to global climate change, but so too is the rapid growth of the tourist industry which has placed social and ecological pressures on many regions across the world,” explains Jonathan Buttery, Director of Voyager Insurance Services. “The answer for eco-friendly holidaymakers is not to stop travelling altogether, the key is to travel ‘responsibly’. We have created responsibletravelinsurance.com to help people minimise the impact of their travel by maximising the benefits to local people and the environment.”
TICOS develops projects that both offset carbon emissions and have wider socio-economic and environmental benefits. It matches these projects to service users, such as Voyager and other travel and tourism companies, all who are committed to offsetting and improving both the quality of the environment and the life for local communities at tourism destinations.
Jonathan Buttery concludes, “There’s no need for holidaymakers to give up their two weeks in the sun or stop exploring far flung destinations.
www.Responsibletravelinsurance.com offers consumers the ideal solution, by providing a product that meets their travel insurance needs, while reducing the impact their holiday has on the destination and the environment.”

From The Darwins To 007 - Panama Is Booming
August 19, 2008 on 9:14 am | In Adventure Travel, Beachbooker, Cruise Boats, London, Panama, Scotland, United Kingdom, Wales | Comments Off
On the day that the Darwins were sentenced for their “Back-from-the-dead” fraud, Journey Latin America reports a huge growth in sales to the country of their dreams, Panama. Bookings have more than doubled in the past 12 months, thereby bucking the supposed “credit crunch slowdown” trend towards shorter, cheaper holidays.
Canoe-wife Anne Darwin was quoted in saying that their slice of paradise in Panama “had much more to offer than I originally thought…with streams, ravines, beautiful butterflies and poison dart frogs…”. And she wasn’t wrong – as Panama is undoubtedly now one of Latin America’s hottest destinations for its tropical mix of rainforest, wildlife and stunning Caribbean and Pacific coastline.
FROM SECRET LIVES TO SECRET AGENTS…
And this dramatic increase is set to continue, thanks to the much anticipated UK release of the new BOND film, Quantum of Solace (31 Oct), part of which was filmed there.
The atmospheric colonial streets of Panama City’s Casco Viejo (Old Town) supposedly served as the location for both Panama and a fictional Andean town; while the ruins of Noriega’s notorious “Officers and Troops Club” were transformed into a glamorous venue for a cocktail party. At the other end of the Panama Canal, filming took place in the precarious, old wooden buildings of Colón (representing Haiti) and on a private island off the Caribbean coast.
HOW TO GET THERE?
** Our new “BOND IN PANAMA” itinerary includes 3 nights at the Canal House (where Daniel Craig stayed), tour of the Casco Viejo, half-day transit of the Canal; and time at “Bond-style” lodges on the Caribbean and in the rainforest. 8 nights from £2372 pp including flights.
** With a few more days to spare, stay at a new boutique beach hideaway called CALA MIA - a secluded 11-room lodge located on a private island off the Pacific coast. Set within the Chiriqui Archipelago, the surrounding National Park comprises over 100 untouched islands, with endless remote beaches backed by virgin rainforest and abundant wildlife, from howler monkeys, ocelots and tropical birds to marine turtles, whales and dolphins. 3 nights from £651 pp
** Hotels don’t float your boat? Then our new “JOURNEY BETWEEN THE SEAS” expedition cruise onboard the new luxury catamaran, Discovery, may well do. Set off from Panama City and sail out into the Pacific, visiting the Pearl Islands and exploring the wild Darién coast. Cross the isthmus, journeying along the Panama Canal and sleeping two nights on the Canal itself; before arriving at Portobelo, with its colonial Spanish forts and palm-fringed Caribbean coast. Snorkel, kayak and be amazed by the abundant jungle wildlife; sailing in true style onboard the Discovery – a first-class catamaran for 24 passengers, with expert local guides and excellent cuisine. 7 night expedition cruise from £2927 pp + flights.

Stay in famous film director Frances Ford Coppola’s trio of luxury lodges, see the real ‘crystal skull’, visit the Mayan site of Yaxha – location of the TV ‘Survivor’ series, go mountain biking, horseriding, kayaking, become an expert at making authentic corn tortillas and last but not least, get a complimentary ‘introduction to scuba diving’ lesson. 14-night holidays depart London thru 23rd November 2008.
Packed with adventure, kids will love this trip, whilst a big plus for mums and dads is the luxurious accommodation provided throughout – no roughing it around this fascinating part of Central America! Film director Frances Ford Coppola (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Dracula and The Rainmaker) established the first of his three Central American luxury retreats, Blancaneaux Lodge, in the Mountain Pine area of Belize, a region of lush green jungle reminiscent of the Philippine location where he filmed Apocalypse Now.
Here, families stay in a two bedroom, two bathroom thatched cabana decorated with local artefacts. Complimentary activities include mountain biking, horseriding and a guided nature walk offering a great introduction to Belize’s rich flora and fauna. Next, cross over into Guatemala to Coppola’s La Lancha, a wonderful rainforest lodge on the shores of Lake Peten-Itza, close to the Mayan sites of Yaxha (location for the TV ‘Survivor’ series) and the famous ancient citadel of Tikal.
In addition to a guided tour of Tikal, back at La Lancha, families get a fun lesson on how to make an authentic tortilla, plus there’s complimentary use of the resort’s canoes and kayaks. The final part of the holiday is spent at Coppola’s coastal lodge, Turtle Inn. Turtle Inn is a great place for families and ideally located for exploring the islands and barrier reef, plus the Mayan site of Lubataan, where the real crystal skull (as featured in the new Indiana Jones film) was found. While Kids 10 years and over receive a complimentary ‘introduction to scuba diving’ lesson including free rental of masks, fins and snorkel gear, mums and dads can relax in hammocks on their own beachside verandah.
The holiday costs from £7,834 per family based on 2 adults and 2 children (up to 18 years), scheduled flights, all transfers, accommodation with breakfast and activities as per itinerary.

Yellow Fever and Vaccination at Globetrotters Travel Clinics
August 14, 2008 on 9:58 am | In Adventure Travel, Africa, Airlines, Asia, Australia, Canada, Caribbean, Central America, Cruise Boats, Europe, Mexico, Middle East, Pacific Islands, Scuba Diving, South America, USA | Comments Off
As per the information available on WHO’s (World Health Organisation) website, the cases of Yellow Fever has risen and even more and more countries are reporting such cases as number of Mosquito habitats are increasing.
HOUNSLOW, UK, - As per the information available on WHO’s (World Health Organisation) website, the cases of Yellow Fever has risen and even more and more countries are reporting such cases as number of Mosquito habitats are increasing. It has been found that there is still a large unvaccinated population in both Africa and the Americas. This viral presence can amplify into regular epidemics.
Hence, Vaccinations is the single most important measure for preventing yellow fever. Yellow fever vaccine is safe and highly effective. The effect of immunity against Yellow Fever occurs within one week of 95% of people who have undergone vaccination. Vaccination provides protection for more than 10 years and probably for life.
As per WHO’s website, the risk to life from Yellow Fever is far greater than the risk from the vaccine, so those who may be exposed to yellow fever should be protected by vaccinations. If there is no risk of exposure, for example, if a person will not be visiting an endemic area, there is no necessity to receive the vaccination. The World Health Organization (WHO) strongly recommends routine childhood Vaccinations.
Travellers visiting to high-risk areas are highly recommended for Vaccinations. There are many countries who ask for a vaccination certificate to allow entry to their countries, particularly for travellers arriving in Asia from Africa or South America as fatal cases in unvaccinated tourists have been reported.
Globetrotters Travel Clinics is www.globetrotterstravelclinics.com one of the accredited Yellow Fever Centres offering Travel Vaccination, Complete Pre-Travel and Post-Travel health screenings and advice to individuals and business travellers regarding their health.
