52 out of 55. Decent quiz, I enjoyed that. Thought the Hell pit was in Uzbekistan for some reason. I thought the island of spice was Cuba… Idiot Knew Callanish was Scottish but answered as Ireland when doing the quiz.

That’s a great effort Craig, well done!

I didn’t do too well, but enjoyed it a lot. Just one small point: Germany’s flag is made up of the colours red, black and gold, not yellow. It dates back to the Prussian resistance against Napoleonic rule. Volunteer soldiers wore black uniforms with red buttons and golden trimmings. The colours became a symbol of freedom and nation. Thanks for the great quiz.

Thanks for the comment Jean. I’m glad you enjoyed the quiz, and it’s always good to have a bit more background information on Germany!

@Jean, Good photograph took. Thank you.

Santosh Saha

That was really fun idea. Although I didn’t do well on your test but it was actually really fun to learn new things about the world.

Hope to see your coming blog. Thanks for the post.

@Pradip Karki, Send me more quizzes. Thank you.

Finally, I put together ridiculously good quiz games for you to enjoy for free online.

The 25 Most Frequently Asked Travel Questions—Answered

By CNT Editors

What are the most surreal places to visit?

Some of the strangest places on earth are also the most sublime : from the UFO-like dragon's blood trees in Yemen to a rainbow-colored hot spring in Yellowstone to a bridge in Germany that looks like a leftover prop from Lord of the Rings.

Why do you need to turn off all your electronic devices before an airplane takes off and lands?

We've been taught to fear the interference of our portable devices and an airplane's sensitive electronic systems. And despite being told to turn off our darn phones, four out of ten passengers, it seems, disregard these warnings , since there's little hard evidence behind claims that electromagnetic emissions from devices can muddle airplane computers. Still, there's ample anecdotal corroboration, like the flight where a 30-degree navigation error was rectified simply by asking a passenger to turn off a portable DVD player. The issue is still being debated, so if in doubt, flick that Off switch. We might, eventually, long for the days when a chatty seatmate couldn’t make an hour-long phone call.

Do you have to be rich to travel the world?

The beauty of travel is that it’s accessible to everyone, in some form. You don't have to go far to experience a new culture. Plus there are several ways to make most flights affordable, whether by being flexible , searching on new websites like Skypicker and Fareness , or just by planning ahead. Know the best time to book a flight : 57 days in advance for domestic flights, 117 for international. Then again, you could just make traveling the world your 9-to-5.

What are some common items savvy travelers bring with them (that less-savvy travelers don’t)?

Don’t forget a small power strip—ideal for sharing a crowded outlet in an airport, and a simple way to keep all devices close by once at a hotel. (Combine that with a Zolt —which powers a laptop and two devices with a charger the size of a lipstick—and it’s even handier.) Keep a photograph of your luggage and passport on your smartphone; lose either of them, and you’ll be grateful for the reference. Pack a scarf—always. And since calling Nespresso coffee is an insult to baristas everywhere, the best in-room alternate is the Aeropress , a nifty gizmo that’s portable, light, and makes killer morning joe almost anywhere.

What’s it really like to be a travel writer?

"For every beautiful beach hideaway, there’s been a missed flight or delay; for every delicious meal, a nasty case of 'Delhi belly," says Traveler contributing editor Krisanne Fordham in her story on this very topic . In short: Traveling for a living is equal parts rewarding and challenging, satisfying and smelly. It teaches you to live—not linger, but really live—outside your comfort zone, to always pack a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, and to never check your bag again.

What are some things airline pilots won’t tell you?

There’s no better Bible of in-flight secrets than Air Babylon , a rollicking romp through 24 hours at an airport compiling anonymous tell-alls from a raft of staff. One sample tidbit: Aviation law decrees that after an onboard death (more common than you’d imagine), planes must land at the nearest airport. No airline wants to pay fines for being delayed, so no one is officially declared dead on board until the plane is landing at its destination.

Where are the best places to travel alone?

Well, we certainly don't recommend Tahiti, where there's an all-but-constant reminder at every juncture that you are alone , a sad friendless figure lurking amid the glowing honeymooners. There are a few places, though, where visiting solo is a bonus, not a burden: notably cruises, yoga retreats, and treks across Europe.

Who makes the best travel bags?

There’s more to in-flight baggage than a boring black rollaboard. Here are some ideas for every kind of trip , including a dapper retro case from Globetrotter worthy of David Livingstone .

Is India a good travel destination?

One of the best in the world, with a vast variety of destinations clustered together in a single country, from the Miami-esque glitz of Mumbai to the Raj-era holdovers in Kolkata, the parched landscapes and Tuscany-like city states in Rajasthan or the quiet backwaters of Kerala. Here’s some inspiration for planning the perfect first-timer’s trip , or you can pore over the site for our India-based sister magazine.

How do you pack a suit?

Don’t wear that suit if you want it to arrive wrinkle-free. Instead, heed the advice of our style editor, Jayna Maleri: "Hold your jacket in front of you, with the front facing you, and fold length-wise in half away from you (so the buttons are on the fold and the shoulders are touching). Then carefully turn one shoulder inside out, and wrap it over the other shoulder (you'll know you're on the right track if the lining is now on the outside). Then fold the jacket one more time, in half width-wise. Fold your trousers carefully in half (use their natural crease as your guide), then place the folded jacket on top of them, near the knees. Fold the pants carefully around the jacket, and pack the bundle in the bottom of your luggage. Follow these steps and we promise, it won’t need a frantic steaming in the hotel shower."

What’s the best way to sleep on a plane?

Some seasoned travelers might swear by that knockout cocktail known as an Ambientini (a sleeping pill with a vodka chaser). There are better, safer ways , though—including pre-flight exercise and a few drops of lavender essential oil.

What are some of the best travel locations that most people have not heard of?

We’re all keen to explore countries and destinations that are unspoiled or unexpected, even if we’re probably still subconsciously following trends. ( This year , Myanmar, Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, and Sri Lanka are some of our planned far-flung getaways.) But we'd also like to reframe this question: What are some of the best destinations you haven't heard of in well-known, heavily trafficked cities? Paris, perhaps, or London? Consider somewhere reasonably central, but slightly under the radar—say, Canal St. Martin in Paris and Shoreditch in London. They're easy to reach and a offer a wonderful "wow"moment of discovery.

What are the best airport hacks?

Download the GateGuru app before your next trip: It shows maps and amenities for any terminal, so you can better plan where to eat lunch or whether you can arrive early for a quick manicure. Don't forget that Zolt charger we mentioned earlier, so your phone doesn't die before takeoff. And, of course, sign up for Global Entry.

If I visit your country, what’s the one meal I shouldn’t miss?

It’s the same answer everywhere: breakfast. No meal is more distinctive or diverse. While sandwiches for lunch might be a global go-to, breakfast is still gloriously localized, whether you're eating bird’s nest–like pancakes filled with spicy curry in Sri Lanka or flaky, just-baked croissants in France. In Russia, however, it’s probably best just to skip it.

How do you get a flight upgrade?

The days of relying on an amenable attitude and a smile to score a cushy seat are, sadly, over. But some strategies still work : First, fly often and use miles whenever you can. And never underestimate the power of a good old-fashioned complaint when an airline overbooks your flight.

What’s it like to quit your job, grab a backpack, and travel the world?

Tons of people dream about leaving their jobs to travel, and while that semi-permanent vacation can often be exactly what you've imagined, you're guaranteed to encounter a few surprises—not all of them pleasant. Here's the truth—and the best way to prepare yourself—from a woman who did it .

NYC or San Fran?

As New Yorkers, we're biased in favor of bagels, de Blasio and the Bronx (and it seems like our readers agree ). We’ll admit it, though: You can spend a killer long weekend in Manhattan or the Bay Area .

Who’s the most interesting person you’ve ever met on a plane?

We can’t match the experience of a guy who met his wife on a plane, but we’ve encountered chatty ex-congressmen keen to tell the real-life story behind a blockbuster movie. And if you're lucky, you get to sit next to Bill Murray. Then again, the most interesting people aren’t necessarily fellow passengers but the crew: wedged onto a jump seat, staring straight at you, it’s easy enough to strike up casual chatter. We’ll never forget the veteran ex-Pan Ammer who regaled us on and off for an entire flight with stories. It was like a trip to aviation’s Golden Age rather than to California.

Global Entry or TSA PreCheck?

They’re both a boon to frequent travelers but we’re firm fans of Global Entry , which costs only $15 more than TSA PreCheck and will likely automatically generate the latter most times you check in for a domestic flight.

What’s the best city in the world?

We'll defer to the best experts—our readers. In this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards , the best cities in the world include Budapest and Florence, while stateside, New York is the top big city and the best small city is Charleston, S.C., a long-time favorite.

Which airline is best?

According to our readers, internationally, it remains the perennially beloved Singapore Airlines. Meanwhile, Virgin America has been deemed the best domestic carrier ever since it launched in 2007.

What are the most beautiful beaches in the world?

Antigua may claim to have 365 beaches, one each for every day of the year, but other strips of sand rival the Caribbean island for sheer beauty (we’ll take quality over quantity any time). Here are some suggestions, from an overlooked island in the Philippines to a beach made up of jet black sand in Hawaii.

What are the most beautiful places in the world?

Beauty may be subjective, but who would argue against any of these 50 choices , whether Yemen’s futuristic forest of dragon’s blood trees or the Blue City of Jodhpur?

What are the best apps for travel?

By far the best transit guide ( RIP HopStop ) is CityMapper . It's free, and offers real-time directions via public transport, on foot, or by car plus a plethora of nifty bonuses for a selection of major world cities, from Tokyo to London, New York and even Hamburg. Even if you’re not wondering whether the inbound aircraft will make it on time for your flight, there’s a wondrous joy to watching the crowded skies via another free app, FlightRadar24 . LoungeBuddy (also free) helps with trips to unfamiliar destinations, allowing you to verify what status or access you might have to a refreshment oasis at the airport. We’ve used Postagram several times to send cards from places, like Russia, where they’re hard to find—the app is free and stateside delivery of that personalized keepsake costs just 99 cents apiece.

Where should I go now?

Year-end is full of listicles recommending must-sees for the year ahead—and we’re no exception . Head to Sri Lanka, Colombia, Miami, and yes, back to Paris.

8 questions for sports tourism in 2022.

How will sports tourism adapt to frequently changing rules and regulations?

Many players forced to sit out a year returned to the field, gym, ice, etc., in 2021. Sports tourism proved its lasting power, becoming the first events industry segment to regain its footing following COVID-19. That doesn’t mean the impact has been negligible—far from it. But we learned once again parents will prioritize their children’s happiness and future when deciding where to pool their resources.

There is no question the games will go on in 2022. How plans go from RFPs to the playing fields will likely take new routes. Safety has always been a priority, yet the way in which event professionals must tackle the challenges has changed. Likewise, tastes and trends have always changed from year to year. Now, though, we will begin to see what habits formed during lockdowns will remain as some sense of normalcy reemerges. 

The new year brings new questions, some of which are out of our control. The emergence of the omicron variant is a reminder COVID-19 is still very much a part of the discussion. So far, vaccines have proven a game changer in preventing a return to ground zero. Using the assumption that we’ve found a way to live and play with the virus, we look beyond to what’s next. Because there is no way to predict,

Connect Sports looks at eight burning questions that will shape the industry going forward.

1. What safety protocols will stick?

The country remains divided about how to combat the pandemic. Vaccines, now available for anyone 5 years old and up, seemingly prevent major illness among the infected. Yet the country has hit a relative standstill with vaccination efforts among adults. Masks and social distancing also help limit the spread. However, the lethargy with both is evident in most everyday activities. 

How will that play out in tournaments and events? And what responsibility do event organizers have protecting participants and spectators? Is recommending suggested behavior enough when a potentially severe illness may strike those who don’t follow guidelines. These are the types of dilemmas the industry must face in convening thousands of people together. 

Indianapolis , which is hosting the first major event in 2022, the College Football Playoff National Championship, is requiring masks among volunteers working in close proximity to one another, and many ancillary indoor events will require facial coverings. Will this be common among event staff throughout the year? Will some organizations require vaccinations and/or negative tests, even if only among staff with public-facing jobs? 

2. How will site selection change?

Some sports hotbeds, like Snohomish County, Wash., have yet to fully reopen, while others, like the state of Florida , have few requirements for events. How planners react to the realities of the situation has severe consequences, including reduction of staff in hotels, arenas, sports complexes and restaurants.

While many events in 2022 are booked, bidding communities for future events could be asking organizations to take a leap of faith that future events can go on as usual.  Meanwhile, facilities going the extra mile with safety—including indoor facilities upgrading air filtration systems, as completed at Ion International Training Center in Leesburg, Va.—have fewer question marks and present added security when it comes to protecting attendees’ well-being. Setbacks, such as a new variant, could strike at any moment. Event professionals should consider any safeguards to ensure tournaments can go on at minimal risk.

Regional events may also gain traction over national tournaments to help reduce costs and travel time. As the great resignation is showing us, convenience counts.

3. How will harassment be combatted?

By sitting out events in which she was expected to win a gold medal, Simone Biles took a stand against mental anguish in sports. She has heightened awareness in an industry still struggling with physical abuse, too. National governing bodies, in particular, will be scrutinized for protecting their athletes. Sports associated with one-on-one coaching will also need to reevaluate policies to guard against predators who sneak through the system. Parents should seek more information about their children’s involvement and more athletes will speak up for their rights. Watchdog organizations will be watching for fast improvements.

Another trend worth watching is the treatment of staff and referees in games. The Washington Post notes some officials are so fed up with behavior from sports parents that they are quitting, forcing games to be postponed or canceled. 

4. What impact will supply chain issues have?

As key members of the hospitality community, event teams and host destinations have no shortage of goodwill and cheer they can offer guests. But long waits and limited menus due to supply challenges can dampen the experience. Is there a breaking point for some parents who build vacation plans around travel sports schedules? 

Another factor to consider is cost. For its many attributes, travel sports are not cheap. Could higher pricing for staffing, awards, gear and other amenities be a dealbreaker? As noted above, parents are going to default toward paying for children’s activities, but there are budget realities we must all face.

5. How will consolidation play out?

Companies and organizations are merging at breakneck speed. In some cases, this puts the best minds of a particular niche—say housing—under one roof. In others, it results in a personnel turnover that puts inexperienced individuals in charge of important tasks. Many events are already relying on contract workers through companies like Soundings to fill part-time roles. Given how important relationships are to booking business, it will be interesting to see how the new way of doing business works out.

6. How will sports tourism branch out?

Staffing changes at CVBs and sports commissions mean a new crop of faces have entered the world of sports tourism. Beth Porreca , director of operations at USA Football , is keeping a close eye on the continued progression for women leagues and event professionals. She notes it not only benefits newcomers to the industry, but also veterans like herself who take pride in progress. “I hope the trend of embracing diversity and celebrating women continues,” Porreca says. “I’ve been reinvigorated by it and have really found myself looking to find ways to develop new skills and experience and challenge myself to keep growing and developing as an employee and person.”

Another trend to watch is “cause-related marketing” to reach new consumers. Porreca points out that brands like Michelob Lite and Nike, as well as prominent athletes like Serena Williams and Steph Curry, are investing major resources into underserved markets. From a sports tourism standpoint, Porreca is already blown away with sponsorship opportunities. “I think this will challenge event owners and sports organizations to develop a clear understanding of their programmatic and community impact in order to build strong sponsorship relationships,” she says. “It will change the way sponsor programs, pitches and activations are developed and I’m excited to see where it takes our industry.”

7. When is a trend the new norm?

Trying to decipher which pandemic patterns are here to stay is the next big game for the events industry. Sports & Fitness Industry Association data shows, unsurprisingly, that individual sports played outdoors have thrived while team sports lost some of their hold on the market. Tennis, for instance, usually sees its number of new participants canceled out by those moving to other sports. In 2020, the growth continued without the loss. Does that mean we’re about to enter a new boom for racquet sports, including pickleballConversely, lacrosse saw noticeable losses. Was that a blip?

8. What role will technology play?

One clear trend from the pandemic is that it sped up advancements. For instance, the National Federation of State High School Associations was already offering streaming capabilities prior to 2019. But when attendance and travel became limited, online viewing became the only alternative for many interested parties. Mark Koski , chief marketing officer at NFHS, says the technology can’t reproduce the experience of being at a game. But livestreaming increases the availability for family members, college coaches and more to catch the action. “Sports are such a shared experience. Being able to expand the audience across multiple channels can only be a good thing,” says Koski.

Look for more schools and events to go paperless with tickets, which cuts down on printing costs and should speed the entry process. The transition should go relatively seamless as audiences are already accustomed to phones acting as boarding passes and concert/theater tickets.

Surge in Adventure Tourism: Four Big Trends in 2024

Jesse Chase-Lubitz , Skift

April 17th, 2024 at 12:00 PM EDT

New data shows that experiences are the leading factor when choosing a destination.

Jesse Chase-Lubitz

The latest consumer spending data from GetYourGuide reveals a surge in demand for unique travel experiences and activities that align with personal passions.

The report analyzes booking data from millions of travelers and highlights a significant shift in travel priorities. Here are the key takeaways:

Experiences Rule

Travelers are prioritizing experiences over traditional sightseeing. Nearly all travelers (90%) plan to spend the same or more on activities in 2024, and experiences are now the leading factor when choosing a destination (reported by 98% of travelers). 

Passion Drives Destinations

The hottest travel destinations are no longer just about iconic landmarks. Cities like Fajardo, Puerto Rico (up 419% in bookings by American travelers) and Hoi An, Vietnam (up 284% globally) are experiencing a boom, likely due to their unique cultural offerings and adventure opportunities.

Globally Inspired

Travelers are venturing beyond the usual suspects. This year’s top trending tours include the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, kayaking through El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico, and even a hot air balloon ride over Interlaken, Switzerland.

The Rise of the Explorer  

GetYourGuide identifies a new breed of traveler – the “Explorer” – who spends more on experiences, takes longer trips, and travels more frequently. These high-value vacationers are fueling the experience economy.

Up to a Trillion Cicadas Are About to Emerge in the U.S.

Two periodical cicada broods are appearing in a 16-state area in the Midwest and Southeast for the first time in centuries. Can you get rid of them? Do they bite you? We answer your questions.

By Aimee Ortiz

In a rare occurrence, a trillion cicadas from two different broods are expected to begin appearing in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States at the end of April.

It’s the first time since 1803 that Brood XIX, or the Great Southern Brood, and Brood XIII, or the Northern Illinois Brood, will appear together in an event known as a dual emergence.

Thomas Jefferson was president the last time that the Northern Illinois Brood’s 17-year cycle aligned with the Great Southern Brood’s 13-year period. After this spring, it’ll be another 221 years before the groups, which are geographically adjacent, appear together again.

A roughly 16-state area will be center stage for these periodical cicadas, which differ from those that appear annually in smaller numbers.

Forested areas, including urban green spaces, are more likely to see higher numbers of cicadas than agricultural regions. To put into perspective just how many of these bugs could emerge, one trillion cicadas, each just over an inch long, would cover 15,782,828 miles if they were placed end to end, said Floyd W. Shockley, an entomologist and collections manager at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

“That cicada train would reach to the moon and back 33 times,” Dr. Shockley said.

When are the cicadas coming out?

The first cicadas are expected to start emerging in late April. Temperature determines when they come out, said Gene Kritsky, a retired professor of biology at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati, and the author of several books on cicadas, including “A Tale of Two Broods.”

Professor Kritsky said that first the soil needs to reach 64 degrees Fahrenheit, about six inches deep, and “then you get a good soaking rain, and that’s when they really pop,” he said.

They’ll use their forelegs to tunnel out from the earth, their beady red eyes looking for a spot where they can peacefully finish maturing. A few days after they emerge and molt, the males will start buzzing in an effort to find a mate, a slow-building crescendo of noise that as a chorus can be louder than a plane .

Where will they be?

The first waves of cicadas will emerge in northern Louisiana, southern Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, northern Georgia, and up into western South Carolina, Professor Kritsky said.

Then they’ll surface in central North Carolina, eastern Tennessee and northern Arkansas, followed by southern Missouri, Southern Illinois and western Kentucky . Finally, he said, the cicadas will appear throughout central and northern Missouri and Illinois, northwestern Indiana, southern Wisconsin and eastern Iowa.

How long will the dual emergence last?

The Midwest and Southeast should be buzzing for about six weeks.

In most cases, Dr. Shockley said, the cicadas, which live about a month, will die not far from where they had emerged.

Are cicadas dangerous?

Cicadas don’t bite or sting, nor do they carry any diseases. But since they’re “not great fliers and even worse landers,” cicadas often end up on sidewalks and city streets, where they can be squished by people or cars and “could conceivably make things slick.”

“In urban areas, there will be sufficient numbers to necessitate removal of their bodies,” Dr. Shockley said. “But rather than throwing in the trash or cleaning up with street sweepers, people should consider them basically free fertilizer for the plants in their gardens and natural areas.”

If you have a dog that likes to eat them, it’s not good to let them gorge themselves on the insects because it can lead to intestinal blockage, said Professor Kritsky.

How do I get rid of cicadas?

The short answer is: You don’t. If you have delicate plants that you want to protect, then use special netting created for that purpose.

The bugs are beneficial to the environment, acting as natural tree gardeners. The holes they leave behind when they emerge from the ground help aerate the soil and allow for rainwater to get underground and nourish tree roots in hot summer months. The slits they make in trees can cause some branches to break, and the leaves then turn brown in a process known as “flagging,” which is a kind of natural pruning. When the branch grows again, the fruits it yields will tend to be larger. When they die, the cicadas’ rotting bodies provide nutrients that trees need.

John R. Cooley, a biology professor at the University of Connecticut, said that his best advice for people living in the regions of the dual emergence is to let the bugs be.

“The forest is where they live,” he said. “They are a part of the forest. Don’t try to kill them. Don’t try to spray insecticide, all that kind of thing. That’s just going to end badly because there are more than you could possibly kill with insecticide. You’d end up killing everything.”
