Marrakech, Morocco

If you want to feel the exotics of North Africa, Marrakech is the right place to go. Plunge into the local atmosphere in the Djemaa El Fna – the central square at the entry to the Medina, the old part of the city. Medina is a must-visit attraction; it's a large maze-like district replete with shopping opportunities. The Moroccan culture certainly deserves a closer look and you can learn more about it visiting local museums and landmarks.

Cape Town, South Africa

Museums with rich collections, the Garden Route with beautiful nature, and, of course, Table Mountain make it a perfect setting for a romantic getaway during your trip to Africa.

Victoria Falls, Zambia/Zimbabwe

Victoria Falls is the second most famous waterfall after the Niagara Falls. Being twice as high as its North American rival, Victoria Falls makes a loud noise that can be heard at the distance of 50 km. The view of the waterfall is really breathtaking. The best view point is from the cabin of a helicopter – a perfect place to declare your love or propose. The best time for visiting the Victoria F alls is spring since the river is especially impetuous during this time of the year, which makes the waterfall more powerful.

If you like unusual places, then you should see Lake Retba with your own eyes. It has a pink color that intensifies during a dry season and fades during rain. It's also available for swimming.

Nairobi, Kenya

Kenya's capital is a vibrant city where skyscrapers and wildlife co-exist together. This is the only cosmopolitan city that can boast a national park located within its borders. It means that after exploring the tribal culture and history in local museums, you can go to Nairobi National Park to watch safari animals.

Interest in CSA's #T20 Global Destination League ownership peaks as deadline his ownership submissions draws to a close

THE countdown to announce the eight owners of Cricket South Africa's new #T20 Global Destination League has begun.

The deadline for submission of ownership bid documents is Friday 28 April at 17h00.

CSA announced its intention to host its own global T20 tournament with a worldwide tender notice in February this year, requesting Expressions of Interest from potential owners.

With phase two of the process approaching completion, potential owners have one last opportunity to submit their documents.

The tournament will include top international and local cricketers and will highlight South Africa as a world-class destination to watch cricket and at the same enjoy the tourism aspects of the country .

In March, CSA received more than 150 Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from potential owners as part of the first phase of the process. The majority of interest came from South Africa, making up 39% of the total EoIs received, with India making up a whopping 35 %. There was also significant interest shown from the UK, USA and the UAE.

"We have already seen great interest from South Africa and abroad in our franchise teams, and we anticipate some last-minute submission applications from potential owners ahead of our 5pm deadline on Friday, 28 April," says Haroon Lorgat, Cricket South Africa's (CSA) Chief Executive.

To date CSA has signed eight marquee international players and eight marquee Protea players as part of the league. Each marquee Protea player will be allocated to a new franchise team based in the city he has either been historically associated with, or a city with which he can build a strong association.

"This is an opportunity that cannot be ignored. We are looking for prospective team owners who are passionate about cricket, as well as South Africa. They will share the same values and ideals in cricket and the country as we do," added Mr. Lorgat.

The process to acquire one of the eight city-ba sed teams is managed by EY. Following the submission of formal bids, CSA will evaluate the qualifying bids received and announce the successful owners in June.

The #T20 Global Destination League is set to knock cricket fans expectations out of the park with the tournament starting in early November and the final scheduled for 16 December.

Rwanda rising as a hot-spot destination for African safaris

Rwanda has been recognized as a striding and fast-growing tourist destination in East Africa, attracting high-class holidaymakers from China, Europe, and the United States.

Known as the "land of a thousand hills," Rwanda is standing as a leading and attractive tourist destination, competing with Kenya, which is the tourist power point in East Africa.

Gorilla trekking safaris, rich cultures of the Rwandese people, scenery, and a friendly tourist investment environment available in Rwanda have all made this African nation one of the best and most attractive destinations for global holidaymakers.

Rwanda is coming up and the leading nation in East Africa, attracting regional and global conferences in its capital city of Kigali. More than 30 regional and international conferences are scheduled to take place in Kigali within the remaining months of the year.

The Africa Travel Association (ATA) World Congress is one among many of the key, global tourism gatherings to take place in Kigali this year. Expected to attract over 300 global tourism policy makers and travel trade industry leaders, the ATA Congress will be held in August of this year for the first time in Rwanda since its inception in 1975.

The Africa Hotel Investments Forum (AHIF) is another tourism gathering scheduled in Kigali for October of this year.

China, an emerging global tourist market is as well targeting Rwanda as its outbound safari destination. Chinese firms from Jiangsu Province have expressed interest in Rwanda's tourism and hospitality sector.

Gao Yan, the director for foreign affairs in Jiangsu Province, said companies from the province are looking at investing in hotels, road construction, and the aviation sector, which are instrumental for growth of the local hospitality and tourism sectors.

"We want to focus on tourism and related sectors, because Rwanda is a top destination in the region. This offers us huge investment opportunities, especially setting up hotels in national parks like Akagera and Nyungwe that have unique experiences," Gao said.

Gao was previously the second secretary and councilor at the Chinese Embassy in Rwanda, where he spent three years. He added that tourism is one of the projects Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to support in Rwanda.

The tourism industry is Rwanda's top foreign exchange earner, and government has been positioning the country as a must-visit and conferences destination in the region.

Rwanda is targeted to earn $400 million from tourism last year (2016), up from $318 million in 2015. The country expected tourist and visitor numbers to increase by 4 percent last year, up from 1.3 million recorded in 2015.

Located in eastern China, Jiangsu Province is an industrialized area contributing 10 percent to China's GDP. The province's GDP per capita stands at $40,000.

Firms from Jiangsu Province are currently developing 5-star hotels and beach properties in Mauritius and Madagascar, according to Gao.

"Our people are traveling more and more to visit Africa, and Rwanda should be their perfect destination," he said. He added that companies from the province are being encouraged to diversify into the services sector, a shift from manufacturing and mining.

Mozambique among the top 10 tourist destinations in the next decade

Mozambique and Angola are among the 10 tourist destinations that are expected to record greater growth in demand for leisure travel in the next decade, according to the latest report on the competitiveness from the World Economic Forum.

Developing and emerging countries are the "stars" of the 2017 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report, which concludes that most of them "have significantly improved their performance since 2015" when the previous edition was published.

"Twelve of the 15 countries with the greatest improvements are emerging or developing countries," the report said.

Between 2016 and 2026, according to research by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), India will be the fastest growing destination for leisure travel, followed by Angola, Uganda, Brunei, Thailand, China, Burma, Oman, Mozambique and Vietnam.

The competitiveness assessment includes a total of 136 economies, four of which are Portuguese-speaking, with Angola, due to insufficient data, not included in the analysis, in which it had been included in 2015.

Portugal is the best-placed Portuguese-speaking country, in 14th place, one place above the position reached two years ago, followed by Brazil, in 27th, which also rose one place.

Cabo Verde (Cape Verde), rose three places to 83rd, with higher scores for the "air transport infrastructure" criteria (43rd, with the 2nd highest airport density in relation to the size of the population), " Environmental sustainability" (44th) and "price competitiveness" (49th).

The lowest scoring criteria were "cultural resources and business travel" (134th) and "natural resources" (127th).

The Cape Verdean government's programme aims to be among the 30 most competitive countries in the world in terms of tourism and among the top five in Africa by 2021.

Mozambique is one of the countries that performed best, eight places higher than in 2015, to 122nd place.

"The strengths of Mozambican competitiveness for tourism and travel continue to be its natural resources and its very open visa policy. This year, the country has risen due to improvements in information and communication technologies, resulting from increased use of mobile phones, reduced taxes and charges on air transport and the attribution of greater value to its natural resources," the report said.

The tourism competitiveness report also highlights the sector's great growth potential, in particular due to the expected increase in the world middle class by 2031 – another 3 billion people, most of them in China, India and emerging countries.

"This new purchasing power will give the middle class greater access to travel. Although travel is growing strongly in China, it is estimated that currently only 5% of Chinese citizens hold a passport, "a situation similar to that of other emerging countries, the report said.

IMF wants to know “exactly” the destinations of Mozambique’s secret debts

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) wants to know precisely what happened to the money secretly borrowed by Mozambique, which led to the suspension of the organisation's aid to the country.

Speaking at a press conference in Washington DC, IMF Africa director Abebe Selassie said the Fund would only get involved in a support program with Mozambique if three conditions were met, namely the audit of the secret debts, a government relief plan and an agreement with the government on "policies to support" an IMF assistance program.

Asked by VOA if the IMF expected the audit to indicate and publish the names of those responsible for the secret debts, Selassie said he could not "make an early judgment on the audit results".

"We will have to see what is in the audit, but the terms of reference for this audit are very clear," he said. "We have to know exactly what happened to the loan funds obtained by the three companies," he added.

Sources at the IMF said they are confident that the audit will be released, although its publication has been delayed twice. The latest deadline is the end of April.

Morocco Second Most Attractive Investment destination in Africa: Report

Rabat – Morocco has ranked the second most attractive investment destination on the continent according to the latest figures in the Africa Investment Index 2016, published by Quantum Global's independent research arm, Quantum Global Research Lab.

The Kingdom's second spot in the top five most attractive economies for investments flowing into Africa in 2016 was guaranteed due to its strong economic growth and strategic geographical position. Increased foreign direct investment, import coverage balance and its generally favorable business environment also contributed to the strong showing.

According to the report, the top five economies were located in Botswana, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa and Zambia. Together, they attracted an overall of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of $ 13.6 billion in 2016.

Botswana took first place due to its improved credit rating, current account ratio, import cover and business proficiency.

Egypt was ranked third because of an increase in foreign direct investment and its growing urban population.

Fourth on the list, South Africa, distinguished itself through its GDP growth, the ease of doing business in the country and its large population.

Fifth ranked Zambia made the list on the basis of its domestic investment and monetary availability.

Head of Quantum Global Research Lab, Mthuli Ncube, explained that "despite considerable external challenges and the fall in oil prices, many of the African nations are demonstrating an increased willingness to achieve sustainable growth by diversifying their economies and introducing favorable policies to attract inward investments."

He added that "with a population of over one billion people and rapidly growing middle class, Africa clearly offers significant opportunities to invest in the continent's non-commodities sectors, namely financial services, construction and manufacturing amongst others. However, structural reforms and greater private sector involvement are crucial to unlocking Africa's true potential."

Quantum Global is an international group of companies active in the areas of macroeconomic research and econometric modeling. Their capital investment branch manages funds targeting direct investment in Africa in the areas of agriculture, health, tourism, infrastructure, mining and timber.

East Africa: Why Ugandans Top As Kenya Main Tourists Source Market

Photo: Daily Monitor

An overview of the Central Business of Nairobi City. KTB assistant regional manager Fiona Ngesa says Ugandans travel to Kenya for holiday followed by business and conferences, mainly in Nairobi.

By Edgar R. Batte

Uganda is one of Kenya's top tourist source markets from Africa, and with a huge potential to post more arrivals into the country. Figures provided by the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) indicate that at the close of 2016, the market recorded a remarkable growth of 75.7 per cent increase in air arrivals closing at 51,023 up from 29,038 recorded in 2015 exclusive of cross border arrivals.

While making a presentation in Kampala, KTB's chief executive officer (CEO), Dr Betty Radier said one of the factors contributing to the growth of Ugandan tourists to Kenya is that Uganda has much lower barriers to travel as compared to other key markets.

One of the contributing factors for the growth was a consumer campaign in Uganda from March to June last year that generated 15 million impressions on social network platforms of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram under the campaing dubbed 'Tugende Kenya' spearheaded to interest more Ugandans in visiting Kenya. "An East Africa media familiarisation trip undertaken in April 2016 under Midterm strategic Plan (MSP) created a lot of interest and awareness and a Return on Investment (ROI) of approximately Kshs14 million (about Shs500m). The Kenya coast is also highly favoured for relaxation while Nairobi remains popular for business, shopping and social scenes," Dr Radier explains.

One of the business operators at the coast, Titus Kangangi, the CEO of Diani Reef Beach Resort & Spa, attests that Diani, on the south coast of Mombasa, remains one of the favourite destinations for Ugandans owing to beach weddings.

"Uganda is a very important source market for us and that is why we take part in expos like the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo (POATE). We would like to further grow our numbers. Ugandans are fun-loving and we are marketing beach weddings to them, especially in Diani which has been rated as the best beach destination in Africa," Kangangi explains.

He adds: "After attending the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo in 2015, as Diani Reef, we have hosted groups that have come for weddings and military training and hosted all the Ugandan military troupe. We hosted more than 300 Ugandans as a unit that year and the number keeps growing. I know more Ugandans stayed in other facilities on the coast."

KTB assistant regional manager Fiona Ngesa says Ugandans travel to Kenya for holiday followed by business and conferences, mainly in Nairobi. Shopping is growing steadily with Two Rivers Malls, one of the biggest malls in Africa.

And bizarre as it may sound, Ms Ngesa also lists medical tourism as also growing with Uganda making up 28 per cent of total medical tourists travelling to Kenya.

During the opening of the POATE dinner, Uganda's Prime Minister, Ruhakana Rugunda, said many Ugandans dream of visiting Kenya in their lifetime and called for a need for Kenyans to reciprocate by visiting Uganda.

Mombasa is a favourite destination for many because of its spectacular sandy beaches, rare marine life, diverse wildlife and a rich cultural heritage with a wide offering of activities for all ages, and beautiful weather all year round.

That is besides the safari excursions to the Masai Mara, weddings and honeymoon and the 500 kilometres of coastline that stretches from Lamu in the North through Malindi, Watamu and Mombasa. Ngesa says an average of $1,700 for a three to five days' holiday is spent by Ugandans.

Globally, Uganda is fourth source market for Kenya. The latest figures by KTB indicate that the top five performing markets based on air arrivals as of close of 2016 are USA with 97,883 tourists followed by UK at 96,404, India at 64,116, Uganda at 51,023 and China at 47,860 tourists.

Trends show that the number of Ugandans visiting Kenya has been gradually growing in the last decade except for the period between 2013 and 2015 when tourism in Kenya and the region suffered a lot owing to terror attacks.

"However in 2016, Uganda as a source market registered a remarkable recovery of 75 per cent closing at 51,023 on air arrivals alone. The figures are much higher when cross border numbers are included," Ngesa observes.

This is partly due to lack of language barrier, short physical, psychological and cultural distances from Kenya and regional integration initiatives like the use of IDs and resident permits.

At the POATEC, KTB launched the a tourism campaign dubbed "Tugende Kenya- Take a break" (Let's go to Kenya) campaign in Uganda encouraging regional visitors to travel for short breaks and experience the amazing destinations that Kenya has to offer.

On reverse visits, of Kenyans to Uganda, Ngesa argues that Kenya is one of the biggest outbound market in Africa hence there should be a very good number of Kenyans going to Uganda. Unforturnately no figures are available to quote on how many Kenyan tourists visit Uganda. Besides, Kenya and Uganda have been trade partners for decades and travels between the two countries are a constant mainly for business.

Solomy Ateenyi, a traveller, argues that Ugandans visit Kenya because KTB does more advertisements than Uganda's marketing body, Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) does. She also observes that tours in Kenya are cheaper compared to Uganda's.

Edris Kisambira, the managing director at Africa Uzuri Safaris, says Uganda has not yet taken marketing seriously and that can be seen in terms of the funding accorded to UTB, which he observes is also understaffed for it to be able to carry out its marketing role efficiently and effectively.

UTB has a budget in the range of Shs15 billion, which when compared to KTB's Shs168 billion, is peanuts.

Tour operator and traveller Geoffrey Baluku roots for a national carrier as a big lesson it can pick from Kenya which can be able to determine flow of tourists. Uganda has taken some lessons and reduced its tourists' visas after burning its fingers in the face of Rwanda and Kenya who charged $30 and $50.

Abiaz Rwamwiri, the director of Africa Wild, a tour company, says UTB needs to be supported to reach more consumers just like KTB is able to.

He argues: "This requires application of modern branding techniques and effective positioning strategies which are costly both in terms of finance and manpower." Uganda has self-marketing tourism products, including mountain gorillas, a variety of bird species, stunning landscapes, rich culture and more.

But it will take more than marketing to realise numbers well over 1.3 million annual visitors to Uganda. Th pricing of safaris remains costly. Rwamwiri quotes an average safari to Uganda that lasts 10 days costing in the range of $2,000 per person.

UAE ranked among top global destinations for FDI

DUBAI: The UAE has returned to the A.T. Kearney FDI Confidence Index this year with the global ranking at 21 and is the only entry in the top 25 list from the Middle East region.

FDI inflows have remained steady in recent years, reaching $11 billion (Dh40.40 billion) in 2014 and 2015, and greenfield investments nearly tripled to 129 announced projects in that period.

The United States again tops the FDI Confidence Index, holding its first-place position for the fifth year in a row. Germany rises to the second position in the FDI Confidence Index, followed by China in third place. The United Kingdom and Canada round out the top five spots.

The A.T. Kearney FDI Confidence Index is an annual survey of global business executives that ranks which markets are likely to attract the most investment in the next three years. In contrast to other backward-looking data on FDI flows, the FDI Confidence Index provides unique forward-looking analysis of which markets investors intend to target for FDI in the coming years.

Analyst expect a number of investor-oriented reforms including updated bankruptcy and investment laws, simplifying the process for obtaining construction permits are expected to boost inward investments. The UAE has also pledged to continue to advance its technological readiness and deepen its commitment to innovation.

The government's recent efforts show signs of gaining significant traction. In the World Bank's Doing Business 2017, the UAE is highlighted as one of the top 10 economies that made the greatest improvements in business relations.

"Investors clearly consider the UAE to be one of the strongest, most diversified economies in the region and value its position as a regional and global gateway. The UAE's ranking this year is a function of many factors, including excellence in governance, demonstrated resilience, world-class infrastructure and a deep, unwavering commitment to innovation," said Rudolph Lohmeyer, Vice President of A.T. Kearney's Global Business Policy Council.

According A.T. Kearney study, globally, three-fourths of companies plan to increase their foreign direct investment in the next three years. This is an increase from last year's results, despite expectations that geopolitical events and rising anti-globalisation could have put a damper on FDI worldwide.

The study shows that for the third year in a row, global business executives see an increase in geopolitical tensions as the greatest risk in the external environment. Investors' concerns about geopolitics and rising protectionism are in fact likely driving some of their motivation to increase FDI. In an environment of slowing global trade growth and increasing barriers to trade, FDI may offer a localisation strategy for investors in key markets.

"Investors told us that they are optimistic about the future of the global economy, global uncertainties notwithstanding, and see many quali ty opportunities for FDI worldwide," says Paul A. Laudicina, founder of the FDI Confidence Index and chairman of A.T. Kearney's Global Business Policy Council. "For the first time since the Global Financial Crisis, we saw a rise in the number of emerging markets on the Index. This could be an inflection point after years of increasing dominance by developed markets on the FDI Confidence Index."

Despite some continued economic volatility due to low global commodity prices, the Middle East and Africa made a comeback on the Index after a two-year absence with the UAE ranked at 21 on the Index. South Africa rounds out the Index in the 25th spot.

Casablanca and Nairobi rank as leading destinations for Fortune 500 Companies establishing International Headquarters

The Middle East Africa (MEA) region has become increasingly important for the majority of global Fortune 500 companies, according to a new report released by Infomineo, a global business research company specialising in Africa and the Middle East.

The report focuses on multinationals looking at entering, or already present, in the Middle East and Africa region. Overall, there was a 17% increase in the number of Fortune 500 companies in MEA in 2016 compared to 2015, with Johannesburg being the leading destination for Africa.

The Infomineo analysis includes the regional footprint of multinationals in the MEA region, the most commonly chosen cities, and the factors which influence the selection of a region, country and city – each element revealing the dynamic growth patterns within the region and a clear trend of Fortune 500 companies establishing presence in MEA.

In 2016, 196 Fortune 500 companies had established a dedicated regional headquarters in the MEA region. In the Middle-East, Dubai is the most popular choice with 138 companies establishing a dedicated entity in the city. There has also been a marked uptick in companies deciding to cover MEA from outside of the region – 38 companies up from 22 have established a regional headquarters in areas such as London, Brussels and Paris. The leading regional destinations on the Fortune 500 list include Dubai, Johannesburg, Casablanca, Nairobi, Lagos, and Cairo. Egypt remains behind the leaders due to political instability, however, it has seen a 250% increase in Fortune 500 investment since 2015. Germany and France are leading in terms of coverage rate while China has the lowest presence in the region.

Industry type plays a pivotal role in the selection of city and country. Financial services are more likely to base MEA coverage from London, while technology companies are more inclined towards Casablanca or Lagos. The latter city is also the premier location for organisations looking to manage their operations across Western Africa with 12 Fortune 500 companies already established in the city. Automotive and Healthcare tend to have a presence in both Africa and the Middle East, while Technology is more inclined to having a presence from the outside.

Nairobi, in Kenya, is the leading destination for the FMCG companies and tends to be the top choice for organisations looking to service Eastern Africa. Dubai and Johannesburg are the most popular hubs overall, but both Casablanca and Nairobi are rapidly gaining traction and international awareness. Casablanca has the highest growth rate overall, while Dubai has the highest count. The same can be said for London, which has tripled its number of regional HQs serving the region, acting as an MEA hub. Given the geographical proximity and the talent pool present in the city, it could be that London is playing the role of a first step into the MEA region, especially for Japanese and North American companies.

There are numerous factors which impact on the organisation's selection of a specific city. These include the local market potential, maturity of the industry, existing competitors, political stability and the quality of the employment market, among others. Determining the attractiveness of a location along these clear lines assures the Fortune 500 companies of a stable and profitable investment and significantly mitigates risk. The most attractive cities are Dubai, Johannesburg, Casablanca and Nairobi, and at the lower end of the spectrum, Cairo, Paris, Algiers and Cape Town.

Infomineo has undertaken in-depth analysis and research on the MEA region, revealing the various factors inhibiting or inspiring Fortune 500 uptake. The findings provide organisations with a thorough understanding of markets and factors which ensure a steady base of operations from which organisations can expand into the growing MEA market, and establish brand and identity within the growing middle classes. Further data on the report can be found here (http://APO.af/mPvBcr).

Why Dubai Is a Dreamy Honeymoon Destination

Here's one absolute truth: Dubai has so much to offer newlyweds looking for a memorable honeymoon experience. It's a very easy transition from any American city while still feeling wildly exotic and exciting. Additionally, Dubai is a major hub for airlines like Emirates (whose amazingly comfy business-class seats are like a preview of the luxury and hospitality you'll experience in the city) and makes a great several-day stopover en route to other destinations in Europe, Africa, or Asia. Another major boon: It gets 300-plus days of sunshine a year.

If you know anything about Dubai, you know it's a place that's striving to be the best—at everything. The luxury hub of the United Arab Emirates, it's a place made up of expats (only a small percentage of the population is native) who share the great vision of toppling world records and stereotypes. It has some of the world's best shopping, tallest architecture (the Burj Khalifa, at 2,717 feet, can't be missed, and there's a gorgeous new Danish-designed opera house), richest dining experiences, and even an indoor ski resort. Yet, a couple decades ago, none of that existed.

Courtesy of One&Only Royal Mirage

In fact, when the out-of-this-world-opulent One & Only Royal Mirage was built in 1999, it was the only property on its stretch of eggshell-colored beach outside the downtown area—and there was no manmade palm-shaped island in the Arabian Sea in front of it. Despite the flurry of construction that continues everywhere in Dubai, the sprawling resort (which is actually made up of three hotels) is still one of the most sought-after reservations, especially for those seeking romance—or who simply want to feel like a king and queen.

In its very nature, Arabian design is grand, royal, and enticing. All the high ceilings, arabesque archways, and intricate lanterns that let just the right amount of light radiate through magical shapes set the stage for an alluring experience. The first step to a once-in-a-lifetime Dubai honeymoon is selecting the perfect resort or hotel. There's something for every taste. The famous sail-shaped tower, the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, billed as the world's only seven-star hotel, is all but dripping in diamonds; there's 24-karat gold leaf galore (the iPads each guest receives as a virtual concierge is even made of it), 30 types of marble, a bath menu, and an actual revolving bed in the Royal Suite (which starts at almost $9,000 per night, by the way).

But not everything is so outrageous. Entering the One & Only, you no doubt feel like royalty, but it doesn't feel showy. As you walk in together as husband and wife, they'll hit a gong to announce your entrance. At the Palace, the palette is rich and patterns are intricate, with a North African feel, while the Arabian Court has a lighter arabesque aesthetic and is linked by a hallway with seven dramatic domes, each representing an Emirate. The Residence is the smallest boutique hotel in Dubai, with intricate carved wood and ultimate privacy. (Guests at the other two cannot access the Residence's pool.) The flower-strewn spa is where you can experience more-expected types of treatments and locally inspired therapies, along with a famous traditional and incredibly authentic Moroccan hammam, staffed entirely by Moroccan natives.

Stretching over 65 acres, there are endless places to feel alone. Eight distinct restaurants, Dubai's longest stretch of beach, and lush gardens have that effect. And throughout, there's a sense of seduction, maybe thanks to the rose petals, candles, and incense that take staff one hour per property per evening to place and light. It's also possible to arrange an intimate, low-lit dinner on the beach in a gazebo, which is so special, it's where many proposals occur. One thing to note when it comes to Dubai's world-class dining scene is that restaurants outside of hotels do not serve alcohol, which makes it even more appealing to stay ensconced in your chosen resort.

Courtesy of One&Only The Palm

Many of Dubai's hotels are massive, especially on the ever-popular "island"—the now-iconic Atlantis. The Palm, for example, has more than 1,500 rooms and a water park. The Fairmont Palm Hotel & Resort is smaller, with nearly 400 rooms, along with a celebrated spa, while if intimacy is what you crave, look to One & Only the Palm, which has just 94 accommodations. It's because of its petite size that personalization is big at the bright white Andalusian- and Moorish-inspired resort: Your fantasies are usually made reality—like the "ultimate romance" dinner served by the pool on a candlelit table topped with rose petals. That meal promises to be memorable, thanks to the three Michelin Star chef who overlooks the culinary experiences. (For dessert at Stay by Yannick Alléno, pastry chefs can customize a half-meter or one-meter dessert platter for you to share.) The Guerlain spa features a flowing couples suite ideal for an ultraluxe private h ammam treatment you give each other—including a bubble bath with rose petals and a body masque you'll rub on your sweetie (and vice versa) before rinsing off in a rain shower.

During a Dubai honeymoon at one of these resorts, it may feel hard to leave the glorious confines of the property, but there are a few other musts. One is a journey into the desert, which may include a camel or two, some stately wild Arabian oryx, and a lesson in falconry. (You can even go on an overnight if sleeping under the stars like a Bedoin tickles your fancy.) If you don't have a fear of heights, journey up to the viewing deck of the Burj Al Arab in New Dubai. Or have sundowners at the 52nd-floor observatory at the Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel, where you can see the full palm island in all its glory. For a taste of Emirati culture, venture to old Dubai, where the gold souk and spice souk (markets) are worth a wander. And a private sunset cruise through the aquamarine water on a luxurious yacht is key—with a bottle of bubbly, of course.

Turkish firm to build high-speed rail line in E. Africa

Turkish firm to build high-speed rail line in E. Africa

World Bulletin / News Desk

Turkish construction enterprise Yapi Merkezi is building a high-speed rail line in East Africa, said the company in a press release on Thursday.

The Istanbul-based company said railroad project will connect Uganda, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Tanzania and provide access to the Indian Ocean from East Africa.

The first part of the project will link the Tanzania's largest city Dar es Salaam with the city of Morogoro involving 205 kilometers (127.3 miles) out of total 1,224 kilometers (760.5 miles).

The firm said the groundbreaking ceremony of the nearly $1.1 billion project was held on April 12 in Tanzania.

It added trains will be able to travel up to 160 kilometers per hour (99.4 miles per hour) on the railway between Dar es Salaam and Morogoro.

The joint venture between Yapi Merkezi and Portuguese company Mota-Engil will enable Dar es Salaam, one of Africa's most important tourist destinations, to make a breakthrough in terms of commerce and tourism, the firm said.

The Turkish and Portuguese companies won the tender held by the Tanzanian Railways Authority (Reli Assets Holding Company Limited) on Dec. 6, 2016.

Founded in 1965, Yapi Merkezi completed 41 railroad projects by the end of 2016. The Turkish company lastly completed the Eurasia Tunnel, which is an underground road link spanning Istanbul's European and Asian sides.

Mota-Engil has 71 years of experience in the industry and is regarded as one of the top Portuguese construction companies.

Kenya now ranks third as tourist destination in sub-Sahara Africa

With a range of natural attractions on offer, from the wide-spread wildlife gem that is the Masai Mara and support acts such as Lake Nakuru and Mount Kenya, it has a goldmine of opportunity for eager tourists to explore. Image courtesy: AJ Tours and Safaris

A World Economic Forum report has placed Kenya as the third highest ranked sub-Saharan African country in terms of its travel tourism and competitiveness.

The report (published April 5, 2017), which aims to engage leaders in the tourism industry to carry out an in-depth analysis of the travel and tourism competitiveness of 136 economies from around the world, stated that the latest edition was focused towards making the industry more sustainable.

Comparing the rankings of the 2015 and 2017 report, Kenya has leapfrogged Namibia to take third and now sits at 80th on the global table.

The report takes into account factors such as business environment, safety and security, health and ICT readiness.

Uganda has been flagged as the most improved country in the sub-Saharan region – moving up eight places to 106 in the global ranking.

Kenya is widely considered one of Africa's most competitive tourist economies. With a range of natural attractions on offer, from the wide-spread wildlife gem that is the Masai Mara and support acts such as Lake Nakuru and Mount Kenya, it has a goldmine of opportunity for eager tourists to explore.

The report also ranked Kenya 15th in the world for Natural Resources, and 26th for Environmental Sustainability.

South Africa is currently the highest-ranked sub-Saharan Africa country in 53rd, but with no African countries breaching the world's top 50, the report states that much is still needed to be done to improve matters. Adding that despite sustained economic growth, travel and tourism "remains mostly untapped."
