Gone are the days when people made their travel reservations by telephone or simply bought their tickets in person and checked into the nearest hotel. For some, planning their transportation, accommodations, and entertainment in advance is half the fun of going on vacation. Others prefer to leave those details in the more capable hands of companies like Fidelis Marketing Group , which not only markets eight luxury hotels at three exotic locations in Mexico but also has an in-house tour agency that plans trips to local attractions. Regardless of whether you invest in a travel agent or prefer to plan your own trips, most travel arrangements – from Airbnb to luxury resorts – are now made online. But that’s not the only way that technology has changed the way we travel, according to Fidelis’ president, Mr. Kaloyan Valentinov Danchev. Today, we tend to take these changes for granted, seeing them as an inevitable part of living in a progressive world, but a century ago, they would’ve s...

Ensenada, Mexico – Competing in an off-road desert race complete with cars, trucks, UTVs, motorcycles, and quad vehicles might not seem like your average pastime, but that’s exactly where Valentino Danchev was this past Friday. Danchev was among a field of 239 starters in the 48th Annual Bud Light SCORE Baja 1000, which is the final round of the 2015 SCORE World Desert Championship. An internationally televised event, this popular off-road race spans over 821.38 miles in the harsh and unforgiving desert terrain of Baja California Norte. This year’s course featured a loop race, starting and finishing in Ensenada, 65 miles south of the U.S border. Adding to the challenge presented by the course itself is the fact that all vehicles have only 33 hours from their start to complete it. If you are picturing a “Mad Max” style race, you are not far off. This year alone, two people were killed and around forty more were injured. In fact, the course is so grueling and mishaps are so common...

When Thomas Cook (1808–1892) founded the Thomas Cook & Son travel agency, he established himself as one of the world’s first travel agents. Initially a one-man show (the “Son” came later), Cook arranged for 150,000 tourists to attend Prince Albert’s Great Exhibition in London in 1851. This first world’s fair was as notable for its collection of literary figures as it was for its other exhibits. Among the former were Alfred Tennyson, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, Lewis Carroll, and William Makepeace Thackeray. Cook used his skills as a trained printer to market his tour packages with enticing travel booklets that offered Industrial Age factory workers a means of escape. Some 170 years later, times have changed. International travel and tourism is a booming industry that reaped a whopping $ 7.6 trillion US in 2016. The direct, combined impact of accommodations, transportation, attractions and entertainment on the economy amounted to $ 2.3 trillion US the sam...
