Perfect Time To Visit Toronto

Compared to America’s “The Big Apple”, Toronto is not as big but is as, if not more, majestic and the New York City. Being the fourth largest of Canada’s cities, Toronto is big on being a hub for what is hip and happening in Canada. It is a reputation that noted as the New York Times listed the town in its “52 Places to visit in 2016”; giving Toronto the seventh position on the list.

The city has caught up with the big players such as Montreal and Vancouver in terms of annual visitors. It had over 14.3 million visitors in 2014. Its demeanor that is less intimidating and noticeably friendlier than the other cities may be the reason it has caught the interest of travelers.

Summer is always the best time of the year to head on to Toronto. The sights and sounds are just to “die for”; a joy to experience. But then again, even when the cold weather comes knocking, the town still has plenty to offer, and you should plan to visit someday, soon. In regards to hospitality, Toronto has an array of hotels to choose from at affordable prices.

Many prefer the Chelsea Hotel because of its size and location. The hotel has 1,500 rooms to choose from and is located next to the Eaton Center shopping mall. The Center houses a lobby bar, two restaurants, a nightclub, shopping malls, and two pools (an outdoor and an indoor pool) as well as a kids’ indoor water park.

A walk in Distillery District is sure to be fun as you explore the different shops and took a stroll through Allen Gardens. Head down to the Carbon Bar for some mouthwatering barbecue-themed gourmet meal after having a day of some spectacular sightseeing. The bar is among the many trending eating joints in Toronto for both the locals and visitors.

With a full belly, head over to the Royal Alexandria Theatre to watch “Kinky Boot”, a dazzling upbeat musical whose casts included Alan Mingo among others who mostly were Canadian actors. The theater was constructed in 1907 and is among the many other architectural sights in Toronto that include museums and galleries.

However, the main structural attraction is the CN Tower, an 1815ft free standing structure and it’s the third tallest tower in the world. It was completed in 1976 and stands as one of the iconic parts of Toronto’s skyline. From its revolving gourmet restaurant, you can have a magnificent view of the Niagara Falls. Speaking of dining, the Bannock, Sassafras, Mildred’s Temple Kitchen, and the Sultan’s Tent as jus some of the best eateries you will find in Toronto.

So, we can conclude that no visit to this upbeat town would be complete without visiting the falls. It is one thing to view the Niagara Falls from afar, atop the skyscrapers and another to be a few feet away from the freefalling water and hearing the raging sounds of the water as is blazing water sprays hits you. In a unique way, Toronto was a mix of cultural surprises, and you will enjoy every minute of your visit there.

In the six years leading up to Toronto’s record-breaking 2015, the Canadian powerhouse had seen its popularity reach new heights. In addition to the 14.04 million overnight visitors, the city saw 26 million day visitors. The increase in tourism has given the economy a boost, with 7.2 billion USD spent by tourists in 2015 alone.

INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION

Of those 14 million visits, 4 million were international, with 2.48 million from the United States, and 1.75 million from China and the United Kingdom. These visits generated 7.2 billion USD in direct spending within Toronto, which according to Tourism Toronto’s report is the highest economic stimulus ever created by the tourism sector.

Despite the fact that US visits have been increasing since 2010, 2015 saw an even stronger 10% rise. Air and land crossings from the US have ballooned, breaking records for the number of American visits to the city. 65% of American visitors get to Toronto via air, a rising number.

Visits originating from China and India increased 13% from 2014 to 2015. Mexican and Brazilian visits were up 24% each; the United Kingdom, 10%; Japan, 3%; and Germany down by 1%.

FOCUSED EFFORTS

Tourism Toronto CEO and President, Johanne Bélanger, credits the increase in tourism across the board to more aggressive marketing efforts. These efforts have been mainly focused in the US, and include the Toronto Stopover program offered through Air Canada for Americans travelling overseas. In addition to the Stopover Program, partnerships with national and provincial marketing agencies have helped to create the surge in visits.

AN ECONOMIC AFFAIR

Bélanger cites the hard work of the hotel industry as a positive economic impact of the growth. “Every day there are 110,000 visitors in our destination – 38,000 of them staying in a hotel. On average there are 6,800 American travellers and a further 4,800 visitors from other countries in Toronto every single day, and that speaks to the growing appeal of Toronto on a global scale. It also speaks to the hard work our team and our partners do selling and marketing Toronto in key world markets and the results those efforts are producing,” she says.

Overall, hotels in Toronto in 2015 sold over 9 million room nights, a 2.6% increase from 2014. The growth in Toronto tourism has contributed over 600,000 room nights every year to the hotel industry.

The tourism industry of Toronto employs more than 300,000 people in various sectors of economy, from hospitality to goods and services. In addition to accommodations, tourists spend money on food, music and theatre events, nightlife, transportation, and shopping. The tourism sector is of great significance to the overall economic condition of Toronto, as well as the community affairs.

Toronto was also the host of many meetings and corporate events in 2015. They brought over 350,000 representatives who spent 417 million USD during their stays. Tourism Toronto and their partnerships also have more than 750 future events booked for the city. These future events are planned to bring in 350,000 people and 375 million USD.

Woman looking at a map

So you’ve started traveling more frequently lately, or you’ve been traveling for a while, traveling by air can be daunting, more than you know. Even for seasoned travelers, long-haul trips are a scary idea. Read through our list of travel tips that will help you avoid the hassles of frequent flying:

  • Back up Important Documents in the Form of Electronic Data:

Back up documents that would be catastrophic to lose, such as passport, travel insurance policy, itinerary confirmations etc. You can use a remote approach and put backups on a service like Dropbox, or for even more security, use InfoSafe.com, which uses encrypted and password-protected security process to protect your information while allowing access from any Internet-connected computer.

  •  Pack Like A Pro:

The rule of thumb, for frequent flyers, is smaller the suitcase, the better. A bulky suitcase adds to unnecessary strain and don’t forget about the extra luggage money you have to pay at the airport counter! To create more space in your bag, use a vacuum compressor. Simply roll up your clothes, seal them in vacuum bag to squeeze the air out and you’re ready to go.

  •  Check Multiple Airline Seating Chart Websites:

Airlines sometimes change their seat configuration and numbering systems. During these states of flux, even reliable sites may not be in position to provide 100 percent accurate information. If the airline, you’re boarding, has undergone recent changes, it’ll be wise to check more than one seat review site to ensure you’re getting the most current info.

  •  Get Friendly with Your Smartphone:

Traveling has become a lot easier than ever before, thanks to the abundance of apps you can download at your fingertips. There are many important apps for business travelers which you can download to make your travel easier and better. One noteworthy example is Tripit. Using this app you can have an access to your flight details, hotel bookings, meeting information, etc. on your smartphone, accessible whenever you want. iTranslate is another app which comprises of over 80 languages so that won’t have to stumble over your words while trying to order the chicken special at a local cafe.

  •  Minimize Jet Lag by Eating Right:

Lay off caffeine and booze as they tend to dehydrate, making jet lag worse. Eating meals that is served at your destination can help adjust to your circadian rhythm, which is disturbed due to Jet lag. If the processed food served on planes dehydrates you, skip a meal and prefer healthy snacks that are high in protein.

  •  Sleep Right:

Jet lag i.e. when you cross time zones a lot faster than your body can adapt, it takes a day to adjust according to every time zone when traveling west, and almost two days when traveling east. However, you can cut down on this recovery time by loading up on sleep before your trip, as well as shifting meals and bedtime closer to those at your destined place. This takes some forward planning, but if you can, start going to bed an hour earlier each night and getting up an hour earlier each morning a few days before heading east, and an hour later each night/morning for a few days before heading west.

7 Reasons Why You Should Travel Alone

OROGOLD TORONTO Travel , , 0 Comment

Woman traveling

Traveling makes you a better person and that is probably one of the major reasons why we love it so much. But, often we prefer traveling to new places with someone because, for obvious reasons, it is better, more fun, safer and what not. But, we often forget that there is nothing like traveling alone. Traveling alone is an incredibly unique experience that everyone should try out once in their life.  Here is a list of 7 reasons why you should pack your bags and leave to discover yourself and the world alone:

  • Change

Traveling changes you. While traveling, you will come across millions of things and these encounters are bound to create an impact on you. These life changing expanders have the power to makes you so much better. It helps you in changing without having an obligation to change. Your perspective towards things undergoes a change and you see the world differently when you have traveled alone.

  • Liberating

Traveling alone can be completely liberating, which can give you a different kind of rush. It also gives you the freedom to find yourself and that is the ultimate goal in life, isn’t it? It helps you realize that sometimes the only company you need is yourself. It gives you a great sense of fulfillment and independence.

  • Confidence

When you do things that you have no knowledge of, it is bound to boost your confidence. When you don’t have any help with you, you gather the confidence to do it alone because, well, what other options are there? Traveling builds your self-esteem and confidence in a way that they become an imperative part of your personality.

  • Stress Buster

We all need a vacation every once in a while. In this hustle-bustle of life, we get so stressed that we forget that there is always an escape. A lot of times we even cancel plans because the people we want to go with are busy. But just imagine that whenever you want to travel, you can just pick up your bags and leave. You wouldn’t have to wait for anybody else to be stressed to have a little vacation for yourself. That itself sounds very appealing.

  • Find Yourself

We get lost in living up to the expectations of people, fulfilling our responsibilities and get engrossed in our busy lives. We lose ourselves a little each day. Taking a vacation alone will not only help you find and discover yourself, it will also help you reinvent yourself. You can become who you want and improvise on it.

  • Experience

It gives you so much of life experience. When you travel alone and have no assistance, you end up doing things yourself that you otherwise would not have. It teaches you so many things. You also get to learn about many places, people and how to live with yourself.

  • Perception

When you see and meet new people, it changes your point of view in so many ways that you might not even notice. It makes your perception a lot better. It gives you an edge over the others.

Best Minerals for Your Skin

Just like vitamins, minerals too are important for healthy, beautiful and youthful skin. One of the best ways to achieve it is to eat a well-balanced diet that contains fresh fruits and vegetables, good amounts of protein, plenty of water and essential fatty acids. It is also important to exercise and meditate regularly as they reduce stress and improve blood circulation in the body.

Being deficient in one of the essential minerals might make your skin look dull and tired. Mentioned below are the top minerals that must be present in your body in the right quantities.

  • Zinc – Zinc is quite essential for people suffering from acne as it controls oil-production in the skin and works on those hormones that cause acne in the first place. Its antioxidant properties help to protect the skin and muscles against premature aging. The right amounts of zinc help heal skin injuries and boost the immune system.
  • Magnesium – Magnesium is essential for the skin, teeth, bones, hair and muscles and keeps the nervous system running smoothly. Your skin starts to age rapidly if you suffer from magnesium deficiency as the elasticity of the skin is no longer retained.
  • Selenium – Selenium is a mineral that is also a strong antioxidant. It maintains the flexibility and elasticity of the skin and protects the skin from the sun’s UV rays.
  • Calcium – As we all know, calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth but is also important for the skin. The skin becomes thin and the nails brittle when suffering from calcium deficiency.
  • Copper – The production of elastin and collagen is promoted by copper that makes the skin strong and elastic. It enhances the function of antioxidants and prevents oxidative damage on the skin. If your body has all the essential vitamins, zinc and copper the creation of elastin becomes easier and the skin remains flexible for many years to come.
  • Silica – Silica helps to strengthen the body’s connective tissues such as tendons, hair, ligaments, muscles, cartilage, bones, and nails. It also plays a vital role in maintaining young and healthy skin. The skin loses its elasticity if you are deficient in this mineral and gives way to slow healing of wounds and premature aging.
  • Potassium – Potassium and Sodium regulate the amount of water in the cells of your body. This is why potassium deficiency leads to dry and rough skin. It helps cells to function normally by holding an electric charge as potassium is an electrolyte.
