The 10 most followed travel-related Twitter accounts – updated
Posted by: Admin : Category: Luxury Travel
Almost 2 years ago now, I blogged about the most followed travel-related accounts on Twitter (here and here). Since then, Twitter has seen enormous growth of course so I thought it was about time that I updated the list. Back then, not one of the accounts had even got close to 1 million followers. Now almost half have surpassed that number. There’s also a greater dominance in the list by corporate accounts (in particular, from the airline industry). The number of followers are correct at the time of publishing.

India’s ultimate National Park
Posted by: Admin : Category: Luxury Travel
With 450 national parks within India, for a first time visitor choosing the best place to relish in the natural heritage can seem like a daunting task. But ask anyone who has stepped even a foot in the country and they will send you straight to Ranthambore. Famous amongst residents and globe-trotters, Ranthambore is renowned for the tigers that reside in the park who make more frequent appearances than is usual for the typically lazy animal. Of course, the danger in visiting such an admired place is that, like all tourist hot-spots, the authenticity of the experience can easily be spoiled by getting packed onto the same tourist trail with every other visitor also trying to catch a glimpse of the beloved tiger, or worse, tripping up on the finer details like where to stay.
