2017 was declared by the United Nations to be the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development! Astounding numbers of more than one billion international tourists travel to every corner of the globe each year, meaning that tourism plays a crucial part in both local and global economies. This tourism, in turn, provides millions of people with jobs, which is particularly important in developing parts of the world. Unfortunately, tourism is deeply affected by climate change (as well as being a contributing factor), and this year the United Nations is taking the time to take a closer look at various ways in which the industry can move towards positive change.

It is often said that family vacations are the best times of childhood, and it’s certainly true that they build friendship within families, and make some great memories, but often they focus almost entirely upon the kids.

According to the Mayan Calendar (known as the Haab), which follows the cycle of the earth in relation to the movement of the Sun, the New Year begins not on January 1st, but July 26th. Unlike our Gregorian calendar, which dominates the way the majority of the world calculates its progression through the year in time with a Roman system used to calculate when taxes were due, the Mayan calendar is made up of 17 cycles. Each of the series of 17 cycles was linked to the movements of the Sun and Moon, as well as the transitions of planets or even constellations like Pleiades. For the Mayan people, the start of each New Year on the 26th of July marked the beginning of a new cycle, and a new “personality” for the year ahead. These essences would be signalled by their own glyph or sign, such as Storm, Seed, and Monkey. For the Maya, however, July 25th was El Día Fuera del Tiempo (Day out of time), and was much more important than 26th; …
