5. Dohany St. Synagogue

Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe, and second largest in the world, was built in 1859. The Central Synagogue in NYC is an almost exact replica.

This synagogue has a rich history, and during the early years of WWII, it was used as a German radio base. A chilling thought, right? For a time, Adolf Eichmann himself had an office in the women’s balcony, behind the rose window, which still stands today.

Between 1944-1945, the ghetto where the synagogue is located witnessed the death of between eight and ten thousand people, with two thousand people buried on site. It’s a sobering and heart-rending piece of history to visit.

But, there are some quirks to this place too. For example, you might notice that Dohány is not lined up with the street – this is because the synagogues must face east, towards Jerusalem. So, if

GTM’s high-speed networking: Travel Weekly

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — There were flamingos. There were globes and old-fashioned suitcases. There was candy, and even a sparkly stiletto flower display.

These colorful adornments dotted the tables at the Global Travel Marketplace at the Diplomat Beach Resort here in early June. The tables were staffed by 140 travel advisors, urged by the Northstar Travel Group events team to treat the tables like their home office for the next two days. (GTM is owned by Northstar Travel Group, Travel Weekly’s parent company.)

But flamingoes, candy and other accouterments were forgotten as suppliers and advisors leaned over the tables, passing business cards and networking furiously, while a giant digital clock counted down in two corners of the ballroom.

This is the annual scene at the Global Travel Marketplace, where advisors, handpicked by the GTM team, are matched for a series of six-minute appointments with reps from travel companies.

Local travel expert offers tips on planning a last-minute trip

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Summer travel season officially started last weekend, but it’s not too late to plan that beach trip or other getaway!

Alfred Willis Jr., the owner of StarGaze Vacations, Inc. in Huber Heights, said the best way to make any kind of travel plans is by working with a travel agent. Travel agents typically have access to last-minute deals and unlisted prices.

Willis said that it is common for travelers not to have a specific destination in mind, and travel agents can help.

“We get that question, or that statement, a lot, where they’re not sure where they want to go,” Willis said.

“A travel agent is a great resource for inspiration to new destinations or off the beaten path, or possibly even go to a destination you’ve traveled to before but in a new way with

Memorial Day weekend air travel tops pre-pandemic levels: TSA

Air travel during the four-day Memorial Day holiday weekend topped pre-pandemic levels, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced Tuesday.

The TSA said its agents screened nearly 9.8 million individuals at airports across the country over the holiday period — about 300,000 more than the 2019 Memorial Day weekend, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Friday reached 2.74 million people screened at airports, which the TSA says is the most it’s recorded in a day since the pandemic.

The reported figures are in line with an AAA prediction that air travel would surge back to pre-pandemic levels.

The TSA has also forecasted an overall increase in travel this summer, which begins Memorial Day and runs through Labor Day in September.

The rise in Memorial Day air travel and the anticipated summer levels come after other high holiday travel numbers in recent months that have signaled travel and transportation are returning to

Is AI better for trip planning?

I was with my travel agent for only a couple of minutes before getting a detailed itinerary for an upcoming trip to New York City. The schedule not only included suggested activities during a mid-September weekend, such as a stroll through Central Park and a visit to the Empire State Building but also factored in time for flights from Nashville, Tennessee, where I live.

“Can you help me book those flights?” I asked.

“I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I don’t have the capability to book flights for you,” ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence computer program from OpenAI, responded.

I was using the term “travel agent” loosely.
