United Airlines cancels Houston-to-Nigeria route, its only flight to Africa                                            United Airlines says it’s shutting down the Houston-to-Nigeria route because of weakness in the energy sector and problems in collecting money from tickets sold in Nigeria.

Dubai Tourism offers conditional welcome to Airbnb

Image
Dubai Tourism offers conditional welcome to Airbnb Dubai Tourism and Airbnb have signed a memorandum of understanding to help promote responsible hosting and help grow and diversify tourism in the emirate.

How to Start a Hotel as a Business

Image
How to Start a Hotel as a Business Starting a hotel as a business can be a challenging but profitable undertaking. Whether you’re envisioning no-nonsense accommodation for business travelers, high-end boutiques or a comfortable bed-and-breakfast, you’ll want to spend ample time researching and planning before taking the plunge because there’s plenty of competition. In 2008, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 64,300 establishments providing overnight accommodation in the U.S. Step 1 The options for starting a hotel can be overwhelming, so decide early on what type of hotel accommodation you’ll offer: upscale, affordable or budget.

Beautiful Mauritius

Something for all: Mauritius has plenty of family fun in the day and night T hink  Mauritius  and you’ll likely think of pristine white beaches, turquoise seas and exclusive, luxury resorts full of celebrities and the super-rich. As with all clichés, it’s partly true but the reality is far more interesting – and much more accessible. You’ll probably also think it’s tropically, uncomfortably hot, being only 20 degrees south of the Equator in the Indian Ocean. The Mauritian summer, between October and April, can be hot, humid and wet. It is still largely glorious. But the “winter” is pretty much perfect for Britons: an average temperature in the low to mid-20s, not much rain and far lower humidity. And the mosquitoes have a rest too, making life far more comfortable. You’ll not be short of things to do. Those beaches – 160km of them – are amazing, especially in the more glamorous east of the island, but Mauritius’s diverse colonial history, volcani...
