The Caribbean documented an increase in visitor arrivals during the first half of this year, retaining pace with the world average and none of the visitors had complaints, in fact reviews were getting all positive feedbacks. The director of research and information technology at the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), Winfield Griffith, announced on the CTO's television programme, Destination Caribbean, the region delighted in a 4.3 per cent upsurge through the first six months of the 2014, much in line with the world average of 4.7 per cent. Mr. Griffith exposed that just under 14 million long-stay tourists visited the Caribbean amid January and June, with nearly half this number ( 6.87 million) coming from the United States of America matched to 6.61 million during the same period in 2013.  This signifies a 3.9 per cent increase in arrivals from the US market. "There is enough evidence to suggest that there is growing economic confidence in the region's biggest neighbor and this is releasing much pent-up travel demand caused by a long recessionary period". Mr. Griffith said. The CTO research head said that merely 21 countries in the region were able to categorize their tourist arrivals by destination during the report.  From the most current statistics it was distinct that more Europeans and Canadians are settling to the region showing upsurges of 6.0% and 4.3% correspondingly.

Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours provides you more colorful places to visit around the world: Keukenhof Park, Lisse, The Netherlands Also called the "Garden of Europe," Keukenhof Park (which covers 80 acres) is planted with over 7 million flower bulbs every year. Though the park is only open from March to May, it has been around since 1949 and remains a major attraction for tourists and dignitaries alike.

Kelimutu crater lakes, Indonesia Far from the buzzing busy street of Jakarta, Indonesia, Kelimutu, one of hundreds of volcanoes in Indonesia, is unique in that it is topped with three crater lakes of drastically different colors. Tiwu Ata Mbupu ("Lake of Old People") sits apart from the other two and appears deep blue or even black. Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai ("Lake of Maidens") is separated from Tiwu Ata Polo ("Enchanted Lake") by a shared crater wall. These lakes tend to be bright blue-green and red, respectively. The colors of these lakes have been known to change depending on the chemical composition of the water and the position of the sun.

Each one of us deserves a vacation every now and then. It can help us live life. All work is no good. We all need to relax for a while and have a little time to enjoy. We at Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours call it Traveling Life. Admit it or not, the first issue we have during the travel is on packing. Yes, you read it right. Issue. Packing is a big challenge prior to traveling and it leads to a big issue. Here are some tips for you to review the next time you are packing all the stuff that you have: * Pack as light as possible. Ask the simple question: "Do I want it or do I need it and if I need it am I will to cart it around?" There is little you really need when you travel. * Travel with a light backpack. If you are moving between places, backpacks leave your hands free to hold their hands. * Pack just a few clothes with only a couple complimentary, solid colors - no patterns. Black is a good idea if you need to be able to dress up and be casual. * Pack only what you can carry on to the flight. Warning: excess baggage is expensive. * Put everything you want to bring in a pile and slowly strip away things that aren't necessary. * Leave the laptop behind, as well as blackberry and any other tech gadget. For computer addicts, being away from the internet's constant flow of data for a few days recharges and relaxes you in ways that you never experience at home. * Bring along a small, foldable umbrella to protect against the UV rays of sunlight and possible rain. * Most toiletries can be found easily in your destination country so you won't have to file complaints on where to relieve yourself. * If it's something you think you can buy there more cheaply than at home, then don't bring it (especially if it's something you don't already have). * Bring one book, and w

Be cautious during the flood seasonAka "Banjir" which happens during December to April, particularly in lower parts of the city, flooding is pretty rampant. This happens more especially in areas nearby rivers.Public transit is untrustworthy and irregular Buses and trains are not the best method to get around. Expats who live in Jakarta usually have drivers. Fortunately, taxis are common; but it could be problematic catching one during rush hour. Rush hour occurs during 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Watch out for taxi scams There are a few different choices taxi companies Jakarta. It is typically best practice to stick with the higher end Silverbird taxi line (Mercedes Benz vehicles) to avoid being taken "the scenic route." In this cases fraud always occurs. Motorcycle taxis are not legal But they do exist illegally. Maybe after you experience motorcycle taxi, you may tell yourself, never again. Definitely for the native Indonesian hitching a motorbike ride to work may be well and good but for the foreigner, it is a perfect way to be caught in scam. Be watchful with your belongings According to some reviews, common travelers had more problems in places like Barcelona than Jakarta. Resembling to any tourist destination just be conscious of your surroundings. And if you decide to make way to a more penurious area, or basically a busy mall, don't carry a designer bag and wear a diamond necklace. No need to make yourself a major target. On the whole, Jakarta is pretty safe According to a blogger, she has never felt any imminent threat while living there. And it is not only her living in the city; she has a family, too. Traffic is terrible This is probably what you always see in reviews. I don't think there could be any guide/overview of Jakarta without stating the horrific traffic. In fact, one of the biggest hazards may be crossing a busy intersection. Seemingly it makes Bangkok look like rush hour in
