Best Beaches

 

Want an international beach holiday? We round up the 10 best beaches in the world. Which one do you think has bagged the first spot?

With winter gone and two months into the new year, it is time you had a relaxed beach holiday. No, we are not talking about Goa or Pondicherry. We are talking of places where the sand is a soft white and the water, crystal blue.

Shortlisted by TripAdvisor, we list the top 10 beaches that you need to visit at least once.

Baia do Sancho in Brazil has been named the world’s best beach by travellers for a third time this year. After being momentarily knocked off its perch by Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos last year, the Brazilian beach on the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, a Unesco World Heritage Site, recaptured the title in the 2017 edition of the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards for Best Beaches.

Praised for its dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters and reclusiveness, the beach is popular among surfers and snorkelers for its teeming marine underworld.

Baia do Sancho in Brazil has been named the world’s best beach by TripAdviser.

Gaining access to this paradisiacal beach, however, requires work: Visitors must descend a tall, steep staircase between two rocks.

The area itself was designated a Unesco World Heritage site in 2001 for being home to the largest concentration of tropical seabirds in the Western Atlantic, while the waters are important for the breeding and feeding of tuna, shark and other marine mammals.

The area is also home to Dolphin Bay, the only known place in the world with such a large population of resident dolphins.

Rounding out the top three spots are Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos and Eagle Beach in Aruba.

TripAdvisor also broke down the best beaches in Europe, with La Concha Beach in San-Sebastian, Spain, taking the top title.

    People want to travel”: Four sector leaders predict tourism will alter and flourish.

    Loknath Das
    The global travel and tourism sector’s post-pandemic recovery is accelerating as the world’s pent-up yearning to travel resurfaces. The difference in international visitor arrivals between January 2021 and January 2022 was equal to the growth rate for the entire year of 2021. However, with $4.5 trillion in GDP and 62 million job losses in 2020 alone, the road to recovery is still long. Several factors will have a significant impact on how the sector performs. These include travel restrictions, vaccination rates, and health security, shifting market dynamics and consumer tastes, and the ability of enterprises and destinations to adapt. At the same time, the sector must prepare for future shocks. Many of these factors are highlighted in the World Economic Forum’s most recent Travel & Tourism Development Index, including the opportunity and need to improve the travel and tourism sector by making it more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient. This will release its full potential to propel future economic and social improvement. Within this background, we asked four industry executives to reflect on the sector’s recovery, lessons gained from the epidemic, and the conditions required for the future success of travel and tourism firms and destinations.Despite the problems posed by the COVID-19 epidemic, the future of travel and tourism appears bright. People all throughout the world have already resumed their travels. Demand for travel is extremely robust, and when vaccination rates have increased and limitations have been relaxed, travel has rebounded swiftly, frequently driven by leisure. Because of the epidemic, many of us have modified our ways of living and working, as well as our modes of transportation. New travel categories have evolved. One example is the emergence of “bleisure” travel, which combines business and leisure activities into a single trip. Newly flexible work arrangements, especially the ability for many knowledge workers to work remotely, have opened chances for extended travel that are not constrained by a Monday through Friday “9 to 5″ workweek at the office. To capitalize on the increased and growing demand for new travel experiences, the industry must work with governments and politicians to ensure that the necessary conditions are in place to welcome travelers as they prepare to return to the road, particularly those crossing international borders....
