Breakthrough in Travel Safety For Faraway Tourists

  Singles and couples aren't the only people looking for adventurous vacations any more. More families are taking steps toward vacations that keep the adrenaline pumping. The British Government has launched a new travel safety program to assist in safer, or at least more documented, travel for all. The program seems to be doing quite well with about 54,000 tourists signing up since its launch in May.

The idea behind the program is to allow travelers to register their itinerary to allow loved ones to know where they are in the case of an emergency. Until now, natural disasters left family members wondering about the health and safety of their loved ones. This new program allows travelers to register their whereabouts online within moments. In the case of a natural disaster or emergency, the British Embassy will know where and how to contact the tourist and their family.

  Water sports are becoming increasingly popular as family vacations. Boating, parasailing, skiing, surfing and diving are promoted by many of the most popular tourism destinations in the world. Aside from fun water sports and activities, some areas hold competitions with amazing prize possibilities.

The Balearic Island of Majorca holds several sailing and yachting competitions throughout the year, primarily from March to October. The 25th Annual King's Cup will be held in August 2008. Spain's King and Prince will be taking part in the competition to help celebrate the 25th anniversary.

The Canary Islands are also popular water sports destinations. The volcanic origin of the Canaries enhances the beauty and appeal. The unusual beauty of the islands doesn't end where the sand meets the water. Divers quickly learn that there is much more to the Canary Islands than meets the eye.
