A signature #Hungarian food to try when visiting #Hungary:
lángos (laan-gosh)
Deep-fried bread dough, often eaten with any combination of garlic, sourcream & cheese
(Not for the #health conscious, but I'd also have it occasionally)

Yesterday, a Telegram channel associated with the #WagnerGroup posted a call for recruits:
"The Wagner Philharmonic has decided to take part in the Great World Concert and is holding auditions to select for its touring musical troupe."
A 🧵 on #Wagner & what the post reveals.

A 🧵 on #Wagner & what the post reveals.
1. Some background: Russian #VDV Airborne #Spetsnaz commander Dmitry Utkin adopted the callsign "Wagner" in the first Russian incursion in #Donbas in 2014, a triple entendre indicating his position as "conductor" of off-book scouts and saboteurs now known as the #WagnerGroup.
2. Much has been made of Wagner's affiliation with neo-Nazi movements in #Russia. But the cultural weave of Russian mercenaries is more nuanced.
"Wagner" also refers to the German composer's valorization during the #ThirdReich by Adolf Hitler & Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

Given my love for #travel, thought I'd compile a thread of some of the best #tourism ads I've seen over the years
Am keeping it restricted to #PrintAds, and only those by #tourismboards, whether national, state or city
Hope you enjoy it 🙂🥂 and are inspired to travel

We could warm up with #Australia's 'So Where The Bloody Hell Are You' campaign, which turned a lot of heads thanks to it's choice of wording and, of course, the stunning visuals
Politeness can be over rated, eh @Australia 🖖🏾

As far as accidental tourism ads go, #Banff in #Canada capitalized on a squirrel photobombing a couple's pic and made him their mascot, even creating a Twitter id for the little fella and featuring him in a whole set of ads

Australia has for years been battling to keep the Great Barrier Reef off the “in danger” list. On June 22, 2021, a UN committee recommended that the GBR should be added to a list of “in danger” World Heritage Sites.

The #GBR is 2,300 km long and extends across 346,000 sq. km. area, hosting an assemblage of fishes and invertebrates in the reefs, sharks, rays, anemones and myriad other forms all of which need a delicate ecological balance to thrive.

Earlier this week, #Dubai opened up it's city to #tourists .
I have lived in Dubai and it's indeed a beauty. If you want to visit, I made a LIST of places you MUST see...

1. MAKE SURE YOU JUMP OUT OF A PLANE AND SKY DIVE.
Join dozens of bucket listers and jump out of a plane at Skydrive Dubai. Skydive at the speed of 190kph, as you scream, your cheeks flapping, and the air hitting you as you drop from 4,000 meters above the Palm Jumeirah.

2. ENJOY TEA AT THE GLORIOUS BURJ KHALIFA
No bucket list is ever complete without visiting the breathtaking Burj Khalifa. Take an afternoon tea at Atmosphere Restaurant and Lounge on the 122nd floor, while you take jawed dropping pictures.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.

"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."

Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

Dear #Tourists,
With #HKPoliceTerrorism, pls DON’T think you’d be SAFE staying in 5* hotels like @PeninsulaHotels or #Sheraton.. Poisonous tear gas & random rubber bullets could still hit you. Sorry & #StaySafe 🙏🏻

There's been so much hype about #Zanzibar, but at the same time, a few people weren't particularly thrilled. Had to go find out for myself ,so some friends and I planned a trip. What I think? Top rating for beaches, good food, so much to see, history. Read this thread... #Travel
From #DaresSalaam, you have the options of flying or going by ferry to #Zanzibar. On the other hand, you could fly directly there. We spent a few days in Dar, then we went by ferry...it cost $35 per person for economy and $50 per person for VIP. We travelled in the VIP section.

The answers to the #poll indicates that most of you feel the biggest gamechanger to the #tourism industry in this #Industry40 is the rise of low cost airlines followed closely by travel accommodations #startups like @Airbnb and @agoda.

Low cost airlines #democratise travel for everyone. As @tonyfernandes puts it in @AirAsia's tagline: "Now Everyone Can Fly".
