The post Reasons why you should visit Pompeii with children appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Traveling with kids is not always easy, and choosing a destination that captivates them while combining culture, history, and fun can become a challenge. However, there are places that spark the curiosity of the youngest and, at the same time, fascinate adults. Among them, Pompeii holds a privileged place. The city buried by Vesuvius in 79 A.D. preserves an archaeological heritage that offers an experience hard to find anywhere else in the world. And what’s interesting is that the visit can turn into a true family adventure.

A city frozen in time

Children are attracted to stories filled with mystery, and Pompeii is precisely that. Walking along its cobbled streets allows you to understand how the Romans lived two millennia ago. Houses, taverns, workshops, and even bakeries are preserved with a level of detail that surprises any visitor. Explaining to them that beneath the ash everyday objects such as vases, frescoes, or casts of people and animals trapped by the eruption remained hidden is a way of bringing history closer in a tangible form. The silence of certain corners invites questions, and those inevitable questions open conversations that perhaps no textbook could ever provoke.

The educational value of the experience

Beyond the initial fascination, visiting Pompeii with children means introducing them to active learning. The forum, the amphitheater, or the temples are not just ruins, but stages that allow them to understand concepts such as citizenship, trade, or religion in ancient Rome. It is one thing to read about gladiators in an encyclopedia, but quite another to walk through the amphitheater where thousands of people once attended real combats. Even the graffiti on the walls, many of them with trivial messages or jokes, show them that the Romans were also humans with concerns similar to ours today. In this way, the visit stops being an abstract lesson and turns into a lasting memory.

A tour adapted to the senses of the little ones

The walk through Pompeii does not require extreme physical effort, but it does demand some organization. The pathways are wide and allow walking in groups, making it easier for children to move freely without losing sight of adults. In addition, digital reconstructions and audio guides designed for young audiences make the experience much more accessible. The most curious can stop to observe mosaics and paintings, while the more restless enjoy running among the ruins as if exploring an adventure setting. Every corner holds an unexpected discovery, and that feeling of constant search keeps their attention throughout the day.

Where to stay to make the most of the visit

An essential part of the trip is choosing the right accommodation. Many visitors choose to sleep in Naples or nearby towns, but those traveling with children often value the convenience of staying close to the ruins. That’s why finding good accommodation Pompeii not only reduces travel time but also provides a quick resting point between visits. From the room, you can admire Vesuvius, organize the day calmly, and at the same time have access to services that make the stay more enjoyable for the whole family. This option also offers the advantage of discovering the everyday life of a small Campanian town that still breathes in the shadow of the volcano.

A journey that awakens emotions

The most striking aspect of Pompeii is its ability to generate mixed emotions. On one hand, there is admiration for the cultural wealth preserved in its streets; on the other, the inevitable reflection on the fragility of life in the face of nature. Walking with your children through this place is teaching them that history is not always distant, that events from centuries ago still echo in the present. And perhaps, in the midst of that contrast between grandeur and tragedy, you will discover that the true value of the experience does not lie in what you see, but in what you feel when sharing it with them.

The post Sabre signs new distribution agreement with Bhutan Airlines appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Global travel tech company Sabre Corporation recently signed a new distribution agreement with Bhutan’s Tashi Air Pvt Ltd to bring Bhutan Airlines into the SabreMosaic Travel Marketplace. 

The deal will enable Bhutan Airlines to distribute its content to Sabre-connected travel agencies around the world, strengthening its visibility and access to key markets.  

Founded in 2011, Bhutan Airlines holds the distinction of being Bhutan’s first privately owned airline. 

The carrier currently serves key destinations across India, Thailand, and Nepal, with ambitious plans to expand its network to additional countries in Southeast Asia. 

This partnership is expected to provide greater travel flexibility for both Bhutanese residents and international tourists, further connecting the Kingdom to the region.

The way forward

Bhutan sits between China and India in the Eastern Himalayas, and is now a growing destination for inbound tourism and outbound travel.

That said, Bhutan Airlines plays a vital role in connecting the landlocked country with important regional hubs, and its debut on SabreMosaic will enable it to reach more markets easily. 

Airline CEO Pema N Nadik enthused: “We’re excited to open up access to our fares and offers through Sabre’s global network of travel agencies. Being part of Sabre’s marketplace will help us to broaden our market presence and serve more regional and international travelers. As Bhutan’s first private airline, we’re proud to take this next step in expanding our reach and enhancing connectivity for our passengers.” 

For his part, Sabre Travel Solutions’ vice-president for agency sales and airline distribution Brett Thorstad remarked: “Airlines of all sizes join Sabre’s global travel marketplace to effectively enhance their footprint across their target markets. Bhutan Airlines’ participation adds to our growing, multi-source content ecosystem, ensuring our travel agency partners have access to more diverse content and helping travelers discover more choice and flexibility around the world.”

The post Gorilla Forest Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary reopens following extensive refurbishment appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Gorilla Forest Lodge, An A&K Sanctuary, has officially reopened following a complete rebuild and redesign that sets a new benchmark for sustainable luxury in one of Africa’s most precious wildernesses. 

The complete transformation has elevated the property into an intimate ten-suite sanctuary where guests can wake to the symphony of the rainforest, trek alongside gorillas in their natural habitat, and return to exceptional comfort that exists in harmony with conservation and community.

The lodge exemplifies Abercrombie & Kent founder Geoffrey Kent’s founding principle of Adventure by Day, Luxury by Night, offering transformative wildlife encounters paired with accommodation that respects both the environment and the cultural heritage of Uganda.

Exquisite and exclusive by design

Perched high within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to more than half of the world’s remaining 1,000 mountain gorillas, the lodge occupies a position unlike any other as the only luxury accommodation inside the park gates. 

Accessible only through a winding ascent through ancient trees, the reimagined property represents a triumph of conscious design. 

Overseen by Luxury Frontiers the lodge’s redesign celebrates Ugandan craftsmanship whilst honouring the forest itself. 

Every collaboration has strengthened the artisan economy, from banana-fibre stools crafted in village workshops to woven ceiling panels produced by NGO Ride 4 a Woman, and textiles created by Florence Nakachwa’s Mekeka Designs, which empowers women through weaving.

The design draws inspiration from Bwindi’s vibrant textures and Uganda’s rich heritage: papyrus thatch roofs blend seamlessly into the tree canopy while weathered Corten steel harmonises with bark. 

Light filters through sisal basket installations and cascading beads that echo rainforest vines, and barkcloth textiles and handwoven papyrus panels preserve techniques passed down through generations.

Meanwhile, heritage touches include restored doors from the original camp, given new life by the artisans who carved them decades ago.

Each of the ten significantly enlarged suites features floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive decks that blur the boundary between indoors and out. 

Large baths invite guests to soak after exhilarating treks; and clay-textured plaster walls, woven banana leaf ceilings and elongated framed vistas create rhythm and harmony throughout. 

Even the rugs beneath guests’ feet tell a story, reclaimed from agricultural waste and transformed into beautiful, sustainable design elements. 

Barkcloth cushions feature QR codes linking directly to their makers, fostering genuine connection between guests and the community.

The lodge has implemented comprehensive sustainability initiatives including rainwater collection systems, composting, repurposed materials and carefully considered building choices to ensure minimal waste and environmental footprint.

A property with a rich story at its foundations

The story of Gorilla Forest Lodge is deeply intertwined with Geoffrey Kent’s overarching vision for Abercrombie & Kent.

In 1985, Kent met with soon-to-be Ugandan President Museveni to discuss protection of the country’s endangered mountain gorillas. 

Their collaboration led to the establishment of the first luxury property in the area, creating a sustainable tourism model that has benefited both the gorillas and the local Batwa people for forty years.

Today, as the only luxury lodge located inside the gates of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Gorilla Forest Lodge continues this pioneering legacy. 

Expert rangers lead guests on unforgettable gorilla treks, whilst the creatures themselves have been known to wander onto the property, a testament to its harmonious integration with the forest.

As a pioneer of community-based conservation, A&K Philanthropy has demonstrated for decades that protecting wildlife and empowering local people are inseparable goals, and the Gorilla Forest Lodge stands as a shining example of this philosophy in action.

Every stay directly funds A&K Philanthropy initiatives that support the Bwindi community, wildlife and the forest itself. 

These include the Bwindi Community Hospital and Nursing School, improving healthcare and education for local families; the Bwindi Women’s Bicycle Enterprise empowers women with sustainable transport and economic independence; and the Safe Water for Schools Uganda project provides safe water access to schools, transforming children’s health and futures.

These efforts collectively improve the health, education and economic wellbeing of local communities whilst promoting conservation awareness, ensuring that the protection of mountain gorillas benefits everyone who calls this remarkable forest home.

The post Sun Group launches Sun PhuQuoc Airways appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Sun Group officially launched its airline Sun PhuQuoc Airways at a ceremony in Hanoi on Wednesday, 15th October.

Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ debut ushers in a new era for lifestyle aviation for Vietnam as it is the first brand under the country’s resort airline model.

According to Sun Group chairman, Dang Minh Truong, the airline aims to expand travel opportunities to Phu Quoc through direct flights and a seamless experience, completing the group’s comprehensive tourism ecosystem.

The new airline aims to seamlessly connect Phu Quoc with travellers from virtually anywhere in the world.

Ticket sales have commenced on the airline’s official website, and commercial flights will take off from 1st November.

An island’s pride

Sun PhuQuoc Airways is the first Vietnamese airline named after an island, reflecting Sun Group’s strategic commitment to developing the country’s famed Pearl Island. 

The launch is particularly timely as Phu Quoc, now a special administrative unit, will host the 2027 APEC Summit, significantly increasing air travel demand. 

Under such circumstances, the airline is poised to enhance the region’s aviation and tourism infrastructure.

Symphony of the sun

The launch ceremony of Sun PhuQuoc Airways was meticulously staged under the theme Symphony of the Sun. 

The event transformed the entire space into the experience of the airline’s first-ever flight.

This maiden flight is a journey that narrates Sun Group’s aspiration to conquer the skies through music, light, and art.

Up and running

The airline has since completed the setup of its operational systems, safety procedures, and the hub-and-spoke route network plan, positioning Phu Quoc as the central hub. 

Initial routes will connect Phu Quoc with Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang, as well as the key domestic route, Ha Noi – TP.HCM and TP.HCM – Da Nang. 

The network will expand from December 2025 with additional routes: Hanoi – Da Nang and Cam Ranh – Phu Quoc.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Việt Nam granted both the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and the Approved Training Organisation (ATO) licence for the airline last 25th September.

To date, the airline has already taken delivery of its first three aircraft, including Airbus A321NX and A321CEO models, out of a total of eight aircraft planned for operation in 2025. 

Fleet expansion will be swift and authorities aim to have 25 aircraft by the end of 2026, and around 30 to 35 aircraft by 2027.

Upon completion, the resort is expected to draw millions of visitors annually, injecting new vitality into Wakayama City’s tourism sector.

Simon Chua, executive counsel for the Wakayama City Urban Regeneration Corporation, stated: “Wakayama City is a historic gem blessed with natural beauty, rich culture, and a strategic location. I am very pleased to invite Joyful Alliance to discuss this potential transformative investment.”

Bringing in experts

For the Wakayama Integrated Onsen Resort development proposal, Joyful Alliance has assembled an international team of partners.

Green Matter Hub, a green technology platform, will supply low-carbon construction materials and intelligent energy solutions.

Meanwhile, CMA Testing will oversee quality assurance, ensuring that every aspect of the project meets global sustainability standards.

Green Matter Hub general manager Sherleen Tay remarked: “We are thrilled to support the upcoming Wakayama project in achieving carbon neutrality. Through our digital ecosystem, including combining certification, carbon tracking, and fintech services, we’re shaping a low-carbon future.”

Ryan Lau of CMA Testing added: “As a greenhouse verification body, we will provide expert guidance to ensure that every step of this project aligns with international standards while honouring Japan’s local regulations and environmental goals.”

The post Alino New Manila marks Keyland Corporation’s foray into hospitality sector appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Philippine boutique property developer Keyland Corporation recently made its debut in the hospitality sector with the opening of the Alino New Manila.

This new property is a four-star, 20-storey lifestyle hotel along E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Quezon City and is the first for Keyland’s Alino Hotels brand.

As such, it is switching things up in a portfolio long associated with residential and office projects. 

The name Alino is drawn from the phrase Alagang Filipino (Filipino care) and underscores the brand’s commitment to genuine, authentic Filipino care. 

At its heart is the value of malasakit (compassion), the uniquely Filipino way of taking away another person’s burden. 

By observing this Filipino value in travel and hospitality, Alino Hotels aims to ease the stresses of travel, offer reassurance, and deliver comfort that feels both sincere and personal.

Where growth matters

General manager Lady May Elegado, a hotelier with more than two decades of local and international experience, leads the operations at Alino New Manila. 

Her appointment reflects Keyland’s commitment to delivering a service culture defined by malasakit which differentiates the Alino Hotels brand in a competitive hospitality market. 

Likewise, Alino New Manila signals the start of Keyland Corporation’s broader strategy to diversify into hospitality and lifestyle-driven developments. 

It embodies Keyland’s vision of offering accessible, authentic, and thoughtfully designed hospitality which reflects on the Alino Hotels brand promise of Care in Every Detail, while also positioning it within the evolving hotel and lifestyle sector in Metro Manila. 

Alongside this, Alino Hotels is also committed to develop and nurture its people as it aims to be a stepping stone for staff to grow their skills and build strong careers in the hospitality industry. 

By setting international standards locally, Alino New Manila gives its team the foundation to excel with the vision of bringing Filipino talent onto the global stage. 

Convenience, comfort, and chic

Located across St. Luke’s Medical Center, Alino New Manila is within a district that bridges heritage and modernity. 

New Manila, known historically for its large post war ancestral estates and film studios is now emerging as a growth corridor with strong connectivity to Ortigas, Makati, Bonifacio Global City, and beyond via the Skyway. 

Because of the location of Alino New Manila, it is able to serve diverse demand drivers such as medical tourism, visiting families, young professionals, business travelers, and long staying guests.

The hotel features 128 rooms across a range of categories, including Essential Twin, Deluxe Twin, Deluxe Queen, Premier Queen, Junior Suite, Deluxe Suite, and a Premier Suite. Standard in-room provisions include high-speed WiFi, 55-inch TV, coffee and tea setups, microwave, and electronic safe. 

A dedicated Healthcare Room with a Hepa Air purifier and hospital-grade cleaning solutions to accommodate families of patients at St. Luke’s who require a more sanitized environment. 

Additional amenities include a laundrette, outdoor pool, gym, and flexible function rooms. 

Guests can enjoy dining at Kutchara, Alino New Manila’s all-day dining Filipino restaurant led by executive chef Rexsan Abarquez. 

Kutchara celebrates local cuisine while giving it a fresh, contemporary touch. 

The menu highlights classics such as Kinilaw na Tanigue cured in suka sa niyog and calamansi, to Kansi at Baka, an Ilonggo beef shank broth with the tang of batwan fruit, to Whole Inasal na Manok marinated in calamansi and lemongrass. 

Each dish is prepared with care and designed to tell the evolving story of Filipino food.
