Es ist nicht einmal Hauptsaison, aber im türkischen Antalya sind die Strandliegen vor den großen Hotels im Ort Aksu bereits gut belegt. Die Tourismusbranche der Urlaubsregion jubelt einem Rekord entgegen: So viele Deutsche wie noch nie sollen in diesem Jahr nach Antalya reisen, prognostiziert der lokale Tourismusverband Aktob. Nicht trotz, sondern wegen knapper Reisekassen und Inflation. Die Türkei ist seit Jahren Favorit deutscher Urlauber, aber verglichen mit der Zeit vor der Pandemie hat die Bedeutung nun noch zugenommen. «Der Umsatzanteil für die Region Griechenland und Türkei steigt für d...

Dass der Osterhase 2024 so früh im Jahr arbeiten muss, bringt auf Mallorca den Rhythmus durcheinander. «Die Leute denken Ende März eher noch an Berge und Skifahren als an den Strand», sagt Pedro Marín. Er ist der Präsident des Hotelierverbands an der Playa de Palma und ist wegen der Folgen der frühen Ferientermine beunruhigt. «Die Auslastung der Hotels zu den Feiertagen liegt wie im Vorjahr bei 60 bis 70 Prozent», sagt Marín. Das ist zwar gut. Die Hotelketten fahren dafür den Betrieb hoch. Ehe dann aber der Trubel in der Hauptreisezeit losgeht, befürchtet der Verbandspräsident ein großes Loch....

That is until she came across the ‘MyTravaly’ website. From the looks of it, the website resembled other travel companies. There were reviews from customers, an assortment of hotels to pick from and community posts that talked about traveller’s journeys.

By Mohammed Kudrati The practice of levying a separate service charge over and above the price of food in restaurants and eateries has come under the scrutiny of the government, with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) issuing guidelines stating that the charge is based on the discretion of the customer and is optional. The CCPA is under the Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. Service charges were levied as a percentage of the total bill. Often, this was levied with Goods and Services Tax (GST) additionally added to the service charge. This practice t...

Airbnb has made permanent its pandemic-era prohibition of parties at the properties rented out globally through its app, saying Tuesday the rules have been effective against problematic events. The rental platform has gradually tightened its policies on parties after complaints and some high-profile trouble, including a 2019 shooting that killed five in California. Airbnb provisionally barred events in 2020 as a measure against the spread of Covid, but it turned out to also be effective against large or disruptive gatherings. "Over time, the party ban became much more than a public health meas...
