CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) Charleston has been ranked the No. 2 travel destination in the world by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine - second only to Florence, Italy.

And, for the fourth straight year, Charleston has been named the top travel destination in the United States by the magazines readers. The travel publication unveiled its annual Readers Choice Awards on Monday.

The publications senior editor, Lindsay Talbot, says visitors to Charleston need to first walk along the waterfront, then wander the side streets to take in the citys pastel-colored homes. And she noted that Charleston is known for its fine restaurants.

Mayor Joseph P. Riley released a statement saying the honors are a testament to the citys culture, hospitality and wonderful people.

The awards are decided by a vote of travel agents worldwide.

Queenstown was named leading destination in Australasia in the same awards.

Whale Watch Kaikoura marketing manager Lisa Bond was in India to accept the award, and said she was honoured to represent the company and New Zealand.

"To be acknowledged against the world's very best is an absolute privilege and I am humbled to accept this award on behalf our organisation," she said.

Well-heeled travelers eye Latin America and Africa

CHINA - Chinese tourists aren't just traveling the world - they're redefining global travel.

The world's largest outbound tourism market is "dictating the international tourism map", according to Xu Jing, the UN World Tourism Organisation's Asia-Pacific director.

Some have even booked trips beyond the planet - on private space flights.

Ten per cent of the customers for XCOR Aeronautics' space flights are Chinese. The company is one of two offering viable flights within the next three years. US arms laws ban Chinese from Virgin Galactic flights.

The Antarctic and Arctic rank No 2 on a three-year wish list among China's "super travelers".

These are defined as people who take at least 18 trips a year and spend a minimum of $25,000 (S$31,874.25) on at least one excursion, according to Hurun's The Chinese Luxury Traveler (2014) report. Seven per cent of the 203 super-rich surveyed want to visit space in the next three years, the report says.

These trends, as well as the decline in Chinese travel to Southeast Asia, have dominated recent headlines.

The No 1 and No 3 destinations on the super-rich travelers' three-year wish list are Latin America - especially Bolivia - and Africa.

"When asked about their 'must-achieve' travel plans for the next three years, Bolivia took 36 per cent of the vote and topped the list, followed by polar trips with 34 per cent, while Africa ranked third and Mexico and Cuba tied for fifth place," the report says.

Trends in Chinese outbound travel are being shaped by the 98 million Chinese who headed overseas this year, an increase of nearly 18 per cent compared with last year, according to the report.

First Wings for Autism flight heads to Disney

Posted on by

More than 20 area children with special needs and their families will travel from Boston to Walt Disney World on Friday on the first ever Magic for Autism flight.

Each of the 21 families who paid to make the trip to Orlando, Florida, includes a family member with special needs such as autism or down syndrome-which can make travel extremely difficult due to sensory stimuli and fear.

The trip is a culmination of four years of work by the Charles River Center along withsupport from JetBlue, Delta and American Airlines as well as Massport and TSA to conduct a test run travel program called Wings for Autism.

The program itself provides a true-to-life travel dress rehearsal to support families of children with special needs who find plane travel extremely challenging. The Magic for Autism trip evolves the practice of travel into an actual vacation effort.

Rebecca Daugherty, mom of three children including 10-year-old Riley, who has autism, said the trip is an amazing opportunity for both Riley and his siblings.

I am thrilled beyond belief that my children will finally be able to experience Disney World, said Daugherty,. In addition to this being inclusive for individuals with ASD, this trip will be tremendously fun for our neuro-typical children who cant always attend events due to their brothers needs."

Alan Day, owner of ASD vacations and father of an autistic son, facilitated and organized the trip and said he was focused on providing support to each family throughout their vacation.

Support is the magic word, Day said.. By providing support- at the airport, on the plane and on the ground courtesy of Walt Disney World and staff from Autism on the Seas- we can ensure that each traveling family experiences the unexplainable magic that comes with any trip to Walt Disney World.
