Wildlife destinations are beginning to say “no” to tourists in new ways, as parks and reserves move to protect animals from the growing pressure of selfie culture, mobile phone use and overcrowded safaris. The latest example comes from India, where authorities have introduced tougher rules in tiger reserves after concerns that tourists were getting too close to animals in search of photos and videos. Reports say India’s Supreme Court ruling has led to restrictions on mobile phone use in core tiger tourism zones, along with limits on night safaris and development near protected areas. The concern is not simply that…

Ukraine has marked the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster under the shadow of war, as fears grow that Russia’s ongoing attacks could create new dangers around the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident. The April 26, 1986 explosion at reactor four spread radioactive material across Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and parts of Europe, forcing mass evacuations and leaving a legacy of illness, displacement and environmental damage. Four decades later, Chornobyl is no longer only remembered as a Soviet era disaster. It has become a symbol of Ukraine’s vulnerability during Russia’s war, especially after Kyiv accused Moscow of flying…

A great Hong Kong weekend is all about mixing skyline views, food, ferries, and one or two neighborhoods instead of trying to do everything. Start with the classics on day one. Go up to The Peak for the city view, ideally early or around sunset. The Hong Kong Tourism Board highlights it as one of the city’s signature attractions, with the Peak Tram and Sky Terrace 428 as the main draw. After that, head down toward Central and take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour. It is still one of the simplest and best experiences in the city, and the…
