And as of May 1, vaccinated travelers from visa waiver countries will finally be able to visit.

When you dream of jetting off to somewhere warm and sunny, you likely picture a beachy destination with temperatures in the 80s or even 90s — not a desert known for its infamous heat.

It is possible, however, to find cheap flights to Europe during the summer months....

It turns out the A in Adam Devine stands for adventure. On Monday, the actor released a brand-new travel series with Quibi called Bad Ideas With Adam Devine, and for a number of episodes, you can watch him say yes to pretty much anything.

What started as a complaint over a $16 corkage fee for bringing gin to a hotel restaurant in Thailand has landed an American man in jail.

The most exciting trips often combine a visit to a dreamed-of destination with a unique event. Add a dose of pandemic-era jeopardy and 200 intrepid travelers and the stage was set. For the guests on the maiden voyage of Ocean Victory this was such a trip — a visit to Antarctica, the seventh continent, coinciding with that most beautiful of celestial events, a total solar eclipse. I was lucky enough to be lecturing about the eclipse on board to a ship consisting of intrepid travelers, eclipse-chasers, and Virgin Galactic ticket holders....

Nearly all of my shopping hopes and dreams fall into three categories while I’m out perusing the racks at my favorite shops or clicking through the pages on a brand’s online sale: quality, affordability, and design. Most of the time, what I ended up buying ticks two of those boxes with one left abandoned, but that all changed when I was finally introduced to Quince. Launched in late 2020, Quince is a brand that specializes in traditionally luxurious and expensive fabrics, like cashmere, silk, imported wool, and linen, but does so in a way that doesn’t break the bank....

I had arrived only hours before on the first Qantas flight from Los Angeles to Sydney welcoming American tourists to the country for the first time in nearly two years....

Sitting at the “grand table” at Casa Silencio — 17 tons of hand-cut basalt that extends from the hotel’s restaurant into the plant-lined courtyard — I chatted with Torrence Swain, who oversees east coast operations for Mezcal El Silencio. We had our laptops in front of us for a work session fueled both by our freshly made carajillos (basically, a Latin American espresso martini) and the million-dollar view. Agave-strewn plains stretched out ahead of us, and rays of sun broke through the clouds in a truly Godlike display, drenching a nearby mountain in light....

As part of The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60 celebration on ABC last night, Harrison Ford himself took to the stage to share some never-before-heard details about the future Disney Parks additions....

Hawaii tourism, you might have heard, is booming.

New York City is continuing on its trajectory to reopen and is “on track” to start Phase 3 of its plan on July 6, Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed on Wednesday. “The data is telling us ‘yes’ right now,” he said during his daily press conference, referring to the decrease in hospitalizations and positive cases in the city, which was once the epicenter of the coronavirus in the United States."
