We have seen only modest incremental efforts from global players, with some recognizing the importance of local expertise (Alibaba’s agreement to transfer control in AliExpress Russia to local partners) or conceding to domestic market leaders (Uber merged its Russian operations with Yandex.Taxi, citing Yandex’s strong technology and brand advantage). The two domestic market leaders, Yandex and Mail.ru, have solidified their dominant positions in search and social networks, respectively, and are leveraging these core businesses to exploit new sources of growth across their ecosystems (e.g. advertising, taxi, food tech, music). While their ever-expanding competitive overlap is worrying, we note this is not unique for global tech and is still relatively limited in scale. We expect the local dominance trend to continue and see significant untapped opportunities in e-commerce, messengers, local services, cloud and fintech.

  • Destination Jordan So It’S Official
    © Lonely Planet Publications 19 Destination Jordan So it’s official. Petra, jewel in the crown of Jordan’s antiquities, has been declared by popular ballot as one of the ‘new’ Seven Wonders of the World. Jordan’s authorities, together with tour operators, hoteliers and even the Bedouin of Petra themselves, have been quick to understand the commercial value of this marketing coup, and prices have risen accord- ingly. The magnificent rock-hewn city of the Nabataeans hardly needed further billing. Since Johann Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in the 19th century, it has been a favourite destination for Europeans – and at sunset on a winter’s day, when the rose-pink city catches alight, it’s easy to see why it has charmed a new generation of visitors. FAST FACTS Not to be outdone by Petra’s success, Wadi Rum – that epic landscape Population: 6.2 million of TE Lawrence and David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia – is a contender as Population growth rate: one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Surely two such acco- 2.3% lades would be entirely disproportionate to the minimal size of Jordan.

  • Destination Jamaica
    © Lonely Planet Publications 12 Destination Jamaica Despite its location almost smack in the center of the Caribbean Sea, the island of Jamaica doesn’t blend in easily with the rest of the Caribbean archipelago. To be sure, it boasts the same addictive sun rays, sugary sands and pampered resort-life as most of the other islands, but it is also set apart historically and culturally. Nowhere else in the Caribbean is the connection to Africa as keenly felt. FAST FACTS Kingston was the major nexus in the New World for the barbaric triangular Population: 2,780,200 trade that brought slaves from Africa and carried sugar and rum to Europe, Area: 10,992 sq km and the Maroons (runaways who took to the hills of Cockpit Country and the Blue Mountains) safeguarded many of the African traditions – and Length of coastline: introduced jerk seasoning to Jamaica’s singular cuisine. St Ann’s Bay’s 1022km Marcus Garvey founded the back-to-Africa movement of the 1910s and ’20s; GDP (per head): US$4600 Rastafarianism took up the call a decade later, and reggae furnished the beat Inflation: 5.8% in the 1960s and ’70s. Little wonder many Jamaicans claim a stronger affinity for Africa than for neighboring Caribbean islands. Unemployment: 11.3% And less wonder that today’s visitors will appreciate their trip to Jamaica Average annual rainfall: all the more if they embrace the island’s unique character. In addition to 78in the inherent ‘African-ness’ of its population, Jamaica boasts the world’s Number of orchid species best coffee, world-class reefs for diving, offbeat bush-medicine hiking tours, found only on the island: congenial fishing villages, pristine waterfalls, cosmopolitan cities, wetlands 73 (there are more than harboring endangered crocodiles and manatees, unforgettable sunsets – in 200 overall) short, enough variety to comprise many utterly distinct vacations.

These ratings TripAdvisor can tell you a lot about the quality and amenities of the hotel / resort. Based on the Official vs. Unofficial Star Ratings opinion of The first thing to understand about star ratings is that there are official and unofficial 1890 people star ratings. Any hotel can say that it is a five-star hotel or a three-star hotel. But unless you are sure that the star rating is official, take it with a grain of salt. The original star- rating system was started by Forbes Travel Guide in the 1950s. Since then, several dif- ferent evaluating bodies have assigned stars, so it's important to check who the evalua- tor is and what its system entails. For instance, in the U.S., Forbes is still one of the leading star-assigning bodies, as is AAA. 4.5 out of 5 AAA's Diamond Rating System comprises two distinct components.

    August 6, 2015 The Honorable Loretta Lynch U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530 The Honorable William J. Baer U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Attorney General Lynch and Assistant Attorney General Baer, As representatives of the small and independent hotel business serving multitudes of consumers around the country we are writing to urge you to block Expedia’s proposed merger of Orbitz, Expedia and Orbitz are competing online travel agencies which we rely on to distribute our room inventory to consumers. Currently there are only three major online travel agencies– Expedia (which owns Travelocity, Hotels.com, Hotwire and Trivago), Orbitz (which owns CheapTickets), and Priceline (which owns Kayak and Booking.com). However, if this merger is allowed to go forward, then the competition between Expedia and Orbitz will be lost and 95% of all online travel agency bookings will be made through one of two companies, Expedia or Priceline. This could jeopardize many of our small businesses, who already have difficulty reaching consumers directly. By limiting our choice of booking agents, we could face higher commissions and likelier higher costs. For some of us, that could mean we simply must close our doors. Not to mention how this will impact consumers, majorities of who are unaware of the consolidation that already exists among these online travel agencies. A new survey reveals that 82 percent of consumers who book hotel rooms online do not know how many affiliate brands are owned by either Expedia or Orbitz.
