| Supplier Highlight - Westjet Vacations | |
"Owners Care"
WestJet, the airline, was founded in 1996 by Clive Beddoe and a team of like-minded partners, who believed that just because you pay less for your flight, doesn't mean you should get less.
Armed with that philosophy, three planes, five destinations and 220 friendly WestJetters, they began the journey - a journey that would take them to more than 8,300 passionate WestJetters flying one of the youngest fleets of Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft to more than 70 destinations in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean.
Westjet says: "Owners Care." The entire corporate culture has been built around caring for you by providing a great guest experience. After claiming top spot in Waterstones's study of Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures for four years, WestJet was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2010.
 WestJet Vacations wasn't far behind and offers getaways to some of the most beautiful spots in Mexico, the Caribbean and the U.S.
They're always coming up with great deals and packages to suit all tastes, interests and budgets. And they stand behind every one of those packages because WestJetters don't just work for WestJet, they own it. And owners care.
Why use Westjet Vacations?
· thousands of packages, backed by WestJetters who care
· WestJet's famous guest service at the airport and in the air
· an extensive and reliable flight schedule
· buyers research hotels, activities, prices and overall quality
· WestJet planes with comfortable leather seats, ample legroom and large overhead bins

Orient-Express To Launch New River Cruiser | |
Ayeyarwady River, Myanmar
The new, 50-passenger Orient-Express vessel is being built in Yangon and will be named Orcaella after the dolphins that inhabit the Ayeyarwady River. The ship will operate seven and 11-night cruises from January to April and July to December.
The ship will sail a different itinerary from Road To Mandalay, operating between Yangon and Bhamo and stopping at local towns as well as dropping anchor at interesting sites in rural areas. Because of its small size and shallow draft, Orcaella will also cruise the Chindwin River, a tributary of the Ayeyarwady flanked by mountain ranges, sailing as far north as Homalin, just 30 miles from the Indian border.
The ship will have 25 cabins with sliding glass doors and French balconies, as well as a shaded observation deck, lounge, bar, swimming pool, fitness center and therapy room using locally-inspired treatments.
Excursions, most of which are included in the price, will include...

| Most Colourful Towns in the World | |
By Ryan Murphy, Budget Travel
"Some cities don't need neon to brighten up the landscape. From pastel towers on the Italian coast to a crayon-colored artist colony in Argentina, these 12 towns make color the primary focus.
Ever notice how many of the world's great cities and monuments are, well, a bit bland? The pharaohs obviously skimped on the paint budget for the pyramids. And today, the Parthenon looks regally monochrome from its perch on the Athenian Acropolis.
 But there are some bright spots. Thankfully there are the candy-colored towns of Italy's Cinque Terre and vibrant neighborhoods from Buenos Aires to Cape Town to keep your vacation photos from looking a little beige. Or take a trip north of the Artic circle to a Norwegian town that brightens up the lunar landscape with charming orange, blue and red dwellings (be sure to say hi to Santa Claus while you are there)."
- Manarola, Italy
- Jodhpur, India
- La Boca Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland
- San Francisco, USA
- Willemstad, Curacao
- Longyearbyen Svalbard, Norway
- Bo-Kaap Cape Town, South Africa
- Berlin, Germany
- Tenby, Wales
- Gdansk, Poland
- Quiapo Manila, Philippines
