"For many rural communities, tourism means opportunity. It provides jobs and economic empowerment, including for women and youth. Tourism gives rural communities the ability to protect and promote their natural surroundings, as well as their culture and heritage. In doing so, it allows tourists to enjoy unique experiences. In 2020, World Tourism Day celebrates the sector's importance for those communities that would otherwise be left behind." ⁠

While it's certainly not the most well-known album

While it's certainly not the most well-known album with Abbey Road in the title, Portuguese fado legend Amália Rodrigues did beat The Beatles to the record title by more than a decade. ⁠
⁠
It has been said that Amália Rodrigues is to fado and Portugal what Bob Marley is to reggae and Jamaica. This week's #BannikinBeats selection from the Queen of Fado was recorded over two days at London’s Abbey Road studios in March of 1952. And while they weren't her first recordings, they were the first to cross international borders and show the world at large the talents of the singer who would come to embody the soul of Portugal.

Bannikin is thrilled to be attending the Regenerat

Bannikin is thrilled to be attending the Regenerative Travel Summit next week! We are already feeling rejuvenated and ready to rebuild stronger.

We're switching things up from #BannikinBooks to #

We're switching things up from #BannikinBooks to #BannikinBeats, picking some of our favourite #travel inspired music. We kick things off with the legendary 'Buena Vista Social Club'⁠
⁠
The Cuban-music project was produced by guitarist Ry Cooder and a documentary about the project was directed by Juan de Marcos González. The success of the Oscar-nominated film and the Grammy-winning album sparked a revival of interest in traditional Cuban music and Latin American music around the world. ⁠
⁠
Cuba's burgeoning tourist industry of the late 1990s was said to have benefited from this rebirth of interest. According to The Economist, "In the tourist quarters of Old Havana it can seem at times as if every Cuban with a guitar has come out to sing the songs that Buena Vista made famous."⁠

"The latest UNWTO Travel Restrictions Report confirms the trend of a slow but continuous adaptation and responsible restart of international tourism. Of the 87 destinations that have now eased travel restrictions, just four have completely lifted all restrictions, while 83 have eased them while keeping some measures in place, such as the partial closure of borders." - @andreamarysmith for @lonelyplanet
