Is Eastern Europe Set to Become 2011's Top Budget Travel Destination?

An astonishing 52% more people searched for flights to Eastern Europe in 2010 than 2009.

2011-01-13

LONDON, ENGLAND, January 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Just as the tight security restriction surrounding Chernobyl are finally relaxed, leading travel company DialAFlight is predicting a surge in tourism to Ukraine and a continuation of last year's trend for Eastern European travel in 2011.

Twenty five years after the tragedy that befell Chernobyl came to pass, the Ukraine has deemed it safe to open the nuclear power plant to tourists. The 'Exclusion Zone', which has always been shut to the tourist industry on the grounds of dangerous radiation and sensitivity to the disaster, will now be accessible on tourist trails of the site. The Ukraine is set for a massive influx of tourists with historical hopes in mind. With Kiev and Odessa already hugely popular tourist attractions, the opening of this major location makes the Ukraine as a budding tourist hotspot for 2011.

Eastern Europe has gone from underdog travel location - to the extent where it has been grossly overlooked - to a destination which makes it top of the list. Eastern Europe isn't going to arrive, it already has. Culturally rich and budget friendly it is set to become 2011's top short-stay destination.

Top of the cheap flights to Eastern Europe league table are DialaFlight who have recognised this travel trend and cater for the 2011 budget traveller. Budget friendly flights to countries such as Latvia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Ukraine and Czech Republic are available all year round, with special Eastern Europe flights and hotel offers prevalent on the site. Booking your flight and hotel together is an instant money saver as well as continental car hire being available from a mere GBP8.

An astonishing 52% more people searched for flights to Eastern Europe in 2010 than 2009. This figure is only expected to increase as the endless possibilities available on the European continent become more and more apparent. It's a recession-friendly stone's throw away but feels like the other side of the world. Full of character, charm and value for money, there is no doubt that Eastern Europe is already top of the travel leader board.

Travellers intrigued by the possibility of visiting Chernobyl are best advised to fly to Kiev (from GBP263 inc. tax at http://www.dialaflight.com).

Longevity unlikely to have aided early modern humans

2011-01-12

Life expectancy was probably the same for early modern and late archaic humans and did not factor in the extinction of Neanderthals, suggests a new study by a Washington University in St. Louis anthropologist. Erik Trinkaus, PhD, Professor of Anthropology in Arts & Sciences, examined the fossil record to assess adult mortality for both groups, which co-existed in different regions for roughly 150,000 years. Trinkaus found that the proportions of 20 to 40-year-old adults versus adults older than 40, were about the same for early modern humans and Neandertals. This similar ...

Played by humans, scored by nature, online game helps unravel secrets of RNA

2011-01-12

PITTSBURGH—Many video games boast life-like graphics and realistic game play, but have no connection with reality. A new online game developed by Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University researchers, however, finally shatters the virtual wall. The game, called EteRNA (http://eterna.cmu.edu) harnesses game play to uncover principles for designing molecules of RNA, which biologists believe may be the key regulator of everything that happens in living cells. But the game doesn't end with the highest computer score. Rather, players are scored and ranked based on ...

Singapore scientists discover a possible off-switch for anxiety

2011-01-12

Scientists from the Agency of Science, Technology and Research/Duke-NUS Neuroscience Research Partnership (A*STAR/Duke-NUS NRP), A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, and the National University of Singapore have made a breakthrough concerning how anxiety is regulated in the vertebrate brain. Their work, published in the journal Current Biology, sheds light on how the brain normally shuts off anxiety and also establishes the relevance of zebrafish as a model for human psychiatric disorders. The team of scientists, led by Dr Suresh Jesuthasan from the A*STAR/Duke-NUS ...
