Trends / Top Trends

For the second consecutive year, Trazee Travel is honoring the winners of The Trazees, our annual awards celebration of the best and the brightest in the world of travel.

 

Travelers aged 18–35 are a varied group, boasting travel interests from study abroad to honeymoons. One thing they all have in common is a discerning eye and a keen interest in seeing, experiencing and learning about the world. Along the way, destinations, airlines, hotels and other travel providers stand out, providing unbelievable service, a memorable experience, a unique amenity or any number of stellar highlights.

 

To honor those storied travel companies, trazeetravel.com first introduced The Trazees in 2015. Nominations for this year’s The Trazees were collected from our intrepid group of contributors, as well as via an online ballot completed by readers. The nominations were compiled and a panel of Trazee and FX Express Publications, Inc. (our parent company) management selected the final winners.

 

Trazeetravel.com is proud to present The Trazees 2016. Congratulations to the following trendsetters!

Where to Find the Best Stargazing Spots in Ireland

This year, the Northern Lights put on quite the display across Ireland, but don’t think these lights are the only thing you can see in Ireland. In fact, many spots across the country provide some of the best opportunities to stargaze thanks to low levels of light pollution. Ireland has three International Dark Sky Parks and even more spots which, although not accredited, are worth a visit for anyone wishing to see the sky in its unfiltered form.

Go Teepee Dining on the Beach at This Puerto Vallarta Resort

During a recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, I stayed at Casa Velas, where we also had access to all of the restaurants, experiences and events going on at its sister property Velas Vallarta.
