The most iconic American road trip is the 2,451-mile Route 66, one of America's original highways. Recently, this road well-traveled has faced a retro renaissance with renewed popularity from travelers eager for slow travel and a classic road trip. Established in 1926 and completed in the 1930s, Route 66 was the primary highway for folks seeking to drive to the west coast. Connecting Chicago to Santa Monica, California, Route 66 passes through eight states (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California).  What makes the multi-day road trip appealing are the slices of 20th century Americana and kitsch: mom-and-pop motels, retro soda fountains and service stations, neon-lit diners, and quirky roadside attractions. Follow our ultimate road trip itinerary so you won't miss any of the nostalgic fun.

There are few things as classically American as a good-old fashioned road trip. But that's what happens when your country doesn't have a robust rail system: come vacation time, your family hits the open road. It was, after all, John Steinbeck in Travels With Charley who noted that "Every American hungers to move." There is something romantic about hitting the open road, a journey that is both physical and emotional. The great thing about a roadtrip compared to any other type of travel is that we don't always know what's going to happen on the way. Sort of like the journey of life, no? So it comes to no surprise that road trips play an important role in American literature. An open road is a ridiculously obvious metaphor for a hero on a journey of self-discovery. They take various stops along the way, where their views of the world are challenged, and they grow more confident to reach their end point. Of course, the road isn't always clear and is fill...

Avid motorcyclists from Indonesia, joined by Cambodian counterparts, enjoyed the stunning backdrop of Angkor Wat last week as the Second Wonderful Indonesia Motorbike Touring 2022 made its way along the Kingdom's roads. The bikers from the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI) are set to end their epic five-nation journey in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi on August 2, having set out in Malaysia before travelling through Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.

Taking in mountain monasteries, mighty glaciers and up-close views of the world's highest peak, the trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal is one of the world's top adventures. But it can get pretty crowded on the roof of the world.  At the height of the trekking season, dozens of flights drop in daily to the precariously balanced airstrip at Lukla, starting point for the two-week trek to the mountaineers' camp at the foot of Mt Everest – or Sagarmatha, as it's known in Nepal.  Along the route, an efficient production line has been established to deliver trekkers to their destination, with lodges offering hot showers, internet access, mobile phone charging, apple-pie desserts and bottled beer. It's a business that has brought prosperity to mountain communities, but at a cost to the pristine environment of the Himalaya.  The good news is that travelers can do a lot to make their trek to Everest Base Camp more sustainable. Here's how....

Labor Day is just around the corner. Many of the workers who take vacations will not want to return to their jobs, and some won't. Research shows that taking a well-deserved break can significantly increase worker healthiness, happiness and productivity. It shows that 86% of full-time employees agreed that taking more vacation time would improve their mental health, and 80% agreed that they always feel refreshed at work after they take vacation time. But sometimes workers can get so refreshed that they don't want to go back to their jobs, according to a new study, especially those who take working vacations. A Visier survey polled 1,000 full-time U.S. employees about their company's time off policy, what they use vacation time for and whether time off affects overall satisfaction or retention. The results showed that 44% of respondents thought about quitting while on vacation, and those who thought about it most worked during their time away. Of those who thought abou...

Skift Take Tour operators are puzzled by Germany's move to expand the value added tax because they believe it not only threatens its tourism recovery, but because they believe German authorities didn't think through the decision. Rashaad Jorden Despite largely making progress in their recovery from the pandemic, tour operators still face challenges in hitting pre-Covid metrics. And executives believe they've been dealt another big obstacle. Germany's decision to apply a value added tax on January 1 on trips sold by non-European Union companies to the country could impede tour operators' ongoing rebound, industry executives believe. In addition to making trips to the popular destination more expensive, tour operators are concerned other nations would follow suit, complicating those companies' efforts to attract customers. "The travel industry is still in recovery, and while it h...
