Do you feel guilty for not being able to spend vacations with your family? You need not worry any more. Studies have revealed holidays are very important for both physical and mental well-being of a person. Apart from being an important bonding time, holidays also reduce the risk of heart ailment and other stress-related illnesses by up to 32% in a large number of cases.</p><p>Holidays are actually the only time during the busy schedule of the year that the whole family can spend some quality time together, share thrilling experiences and create new memories that would last a lifetime. Tours also provide plenty of excitement as visitors not only get to see new places but also get to meet new people belonging to varied and interesting cultures and ethnicities.</p><p><strong>Holidays are as essential as sleep</strong></p><p>Leading psychotherapists say that a holiday away from one&#8217;s home is as essential as sleep. Research has revealed that people who do not go on holidays face some drawbacks like difficulty in thinking clearly, or acting unfalteringly, absorbing all information effectively and exhibiting an inability of seeing a situation in its completeness.</p><p>The physical impact of staying away from holidays is also upsetting. People those who fail to make complete use of their vacation time are seen to have a lower pliability to disease and are often unable to protect themselves against infection. A study conducted in 1992 revealed that women who went on vacation only once in every 6 years or so were about 8 times more likely to develop cardiac ailments than those who took vacations at least twice a year.</p><p>The other reason to consider travel for an absolute holiday experience is the significance of what you may call a &#8216;real relaxation&#8217;. Numerous tourists who travel to far off places effectively overlook the trials and tribulations of their daily lives and, instead of getting tensed about tasks that require doing for the house, their entire concentration lies on what is the next on their holiday agenda.</p><p>If you think, you are like one of these people who love to travel, you are just a click away from visiting you favorite holiday sites.

There is the list of the 5 of the most visited countries of the last several years1) France (76.7 million visitors a year)2) Spain (51.7 million visitors)3) U.S. (41.9 million visitors)4) Italy (39.8 million visitors)5) China (36.8 million visitors)</p><p>This is the data of 19981) France (70 million visitors)2) Spain (47,7 million visitors)3) United States (47 million visitors)4) Italy (34,8 million visitors)5) United Kingdom (25,4 million visitors)</p><p>The top 4 has remained the same since the end of the last century, but fast developing and becoming more and more popular China replaced the United Kingdom on the fifth place. You can also see that china is going to overcome Italy in amount of tourists. You can also see that the total amount of tourists has increased &#8211; people became to travel more. So, the most popular country with a big odds given is France. Without any doubt the most famous and popular city in France is Paris. It receives a huge amount of visitors any season. In summer the whole Cote d&#8217;Azur with Nice and Cannes becomes the most fashionable and prestigious beach resort. Spain, mostly visited in summer is also very popular beach destination with its resorts of Costa Brave, Costa Dorada, Costa del Sol. Spanish islands &#8211; Canaries and Balearics also attract millions. Barcelona and Madrid are on the top of the list of the most visited Spanish cities.<br />United States have the third place with the significant number of tourists, but mostly they are Americans. New York is the most visited by tourists city and Florida and California are known for their beach resorts. Italy, full of ancient attractions and sea resorts is also among the leaders. Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence &#8211; everybody knows these symbols of Italian bloom and the tourist stream never exhausts.Among other popular travel destinations we can name Thailand, although after tsunami it suffered a lot of problems. Now it begins to rise again. According to some questionings it is named the best place for swimming and beach rest. These are the destinations popular worldwide. However every country has its own favorites. For example, it&#8217;s known that Americans prefer to spend their holidays in Mexico, many French like to visit Martinique and so on. In conclusion I can say that nothing threatens France&#8217;s leadership in the list of the most popular countries but people open new, exotic destinations which popularity is growing up.</p><p> <span>For booking a hotel in any part of the world, please, go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bb72.com/">www.bb72.com</a> <br class="clear" /><a rel="dofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/travel-articles/the-most-popular-travel-destinations-in-the-world-13767.html">Article Source</a></span></p><p><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"><img src="http://escape2mars.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://escape2mars.com/travel-destinations/the-most-popular-travel-destinations-in-the-world/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Touring The Capital City Of Ukraine Kyiv</title><link>http://escape2mars.com/travel-destinations/touring-the-capital-city-of-ukraine-kyiv</link> <comments>http://escape2mars.com/travel-destinations/touring-the-capital-city-of-ukraine-kyiv#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:22:46 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Robbie</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[travel destinations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Across The Universe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Adults]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Article Source]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cultures]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eastern Europe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Economic Status]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Experiences]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kiev Ukraine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kyiv]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Landmarks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nightlife]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Oldest Cities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[People]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Religions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Restaurants]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Soviet Union]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Teenagers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tourists]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://escape2mars.com/travel-destinations/touring-the-capital-city-of-ukraine-kyiv</guid> <description><![CDATA[Kiev, Ukraine is one of the historical cities in Eastern Europe.
