UNWTO statistics say international tourism demand has increased by 5% over the first 9 months of 2013: no matter how hard the economic crisis is hitting the world, travelling remains one of the most popular actvity.
\nYou may be a citizen of a South European country with a shaky economy, a citizen of the Celestial Empire or subject to the\u00a0reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, travel is\u00a0a common phenomenon whose facets vary largely: some travel for business reasons and some others to find new business, some are in search of\u00a0their lifelong experience and others are fleeing their life and… more than a few are joining their beloved ones around the world and others who are trying to join the spilt parts of their beings.<\/p>\n

The philosophy of travel changes accordingly: some bring their natural\u00a0respect for the environment on holiday with them and they go for green holidays\u00a0though some others are still unaware of the impact their holidays can have on the climate, the environment and the human wellbeing.<\/p>\n
