Allinclusive.co Reports Travelers’ Choice 2013 Best Beaches in Costa Rica

Posted on by

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) June 04, 2013

Each year TripAdvisor announces the results of the Travelers Choice Awards that are selected by millions of travelers worldwide. This year Costa Rica achieved the top spot in the Best Beaches in Central America category. Costa Rica not only topped the list but eight of Costa Ricas beautiful beaches were included in this category, four from the province of Guanacaste.

TripAdvisor's Travelers Choice awards are based on millions of valuable reviews and opinions covering more than 650,000 hotels and collected in a single year from travelers around the world.

Guanacaste is located in the North West region and is home to several attractive beaches lining Costa Ricas Pacific Coast. The most beautiful Costa Rican beaches are arguably concentrated in the Guanacaste Province. Playa Samara, Playa Avellanes, Playa Conchal and Playa Hermosa were four of the beaches that received the top honor from TripAdvisor.

According to a report from The Costa Rica News, "The Guanacaste province receives thousands of tourists every year looking for its warm waters. Its beaches range from sites with white sand and a sea with almost no waves as well as popular sites for surfing. Over the years Guanacaste has developed rapidly into a popular tourist destination. This has spurred the growth of several luxury hotels like the Riu Palace Costa Rica, which opened its doors to the public less than one year ago.

Guanacaste beaches provide an ideal location for travelers with more than 125 miles of sandy shores. The All Inclusive Riu Guanacaste is located just along the Playa Matapalo. Visitors often enjoy various beach activities such as swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, wind surfing, diving as well as sunbathing. Costa Rica is a magnificent country and its tourism industry is an international example of good practices, said Luis Riu, CEO of RIU Hotels and Resorts.

Based on insights from millions of travelers from around the world, the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice awards help identify the most highly rated and loved vacation spots said Barbara Messing, Chief Marketing Officer for TripAdvisor.

Hingham may extend smoking ban to beaches, cemeteries

Posted on by

Four years after prohibiting smoking at town parks and playgrounds, Hingham officials are considering whether to expand the outdoor smoking ban to town-owned beaches, docks and cemeteries.

The expanded ban is one of several changes being floated by Hinghams board of health as it looks to update the towns smoking regulations, which were last revised in 2009. Another change would update the regulations to include electronic and herbal cigarettes.

Kirk Shilts, the boards chairman, said board members considered including beaches and other public spaces in the towns outdoor smoking ban in 2009 but eventually decided to limit the ban to town parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities.

No one has come back and said, This is overreach and you need to stop, Shilts said. If anything, weve had people say, Can you add the beaches? Can you add the Taste of Hingham?

Hingham was among several cities and towns that adopted outdoor smoking bans in the years after the states workplace smoking law was passed in 2004, prohibiting tobacco use in nearly all restaurants, shops and offices in Massachusetts, according to Cheryl Sbarra, director of the Massachusetts Association of Health Boards Tobacco Control Program. Sbarra said most of the outdoor smoking bans targeted beaches, playgrounds and other places frequented by children.

The thought of someone smoking at a kids baseball game was just offensive to people, she said.

Abington, Braintree, Kingston and Marshfield have all adopted some kind of outdoor smoking ban, according to a list compiled by the Massachusetts Municipal Association. The list includes only two communities with a ban on smoking in cemeteries: Great Barrington and Malden.

Unlike indoor smoking bans, which are aimed at protecting non-smokers from the hazards of secondhand smoke, outdoor smoking rules are about changing perceptions, especially among young people, Shilts said. Its more about the attitude toward smoking and how that perception and that activity is perceived by children, he said. We dont want that perception to be fostered, that this is something that is cool that adults do and that a child would want to emulate.

Some public health advocates, however, say that outdoor bans go too far and undermine ongoing efforts to stop workplace smoking in parts of the country where it is still legal. Michael Siegel, a professor of community health sciences at Boston Universitys School of Public Health, said he doesnt buy the argument that towns should adopt outdoor bans just to keep smoking out of view from children.

It would be like prohibiting eating fast food in public or something like that. It makes no sense, he said. We generally recognize that people are free to do what they want as long as its not directly harming other people.

European Astronomy Journalism Prize Expanded

Posted on by

The European Astronomy Journalism Prize 2013 launched today has been expanded to now include entries from Europe and South America.

The competition is run by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in conjunction with the Association of British Science Writers and the Royal Astronomical Society.

"Astronomy is a global research discipline, and excites and inspires millions of people every day around the world, so we believe it's appropriate to expand the Prize to recognise a broader range of inspirational coverage of astronomy," ESO Head of Education and Public Outreach Lars Lindberg Christensen said today.

STFC Head of Communications Terry O'Connor said the inaugural competition in 2012 was open only to entries published or broadcast in English in the United Kingdom, but has now been extended to entries in English from any ESO member state.

"We're delighted to work with ESO to offer the winner a trip to the world's most advanced optical instrument: ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile," Terry said.

The VLT is located at the Paranal Observatory on Cerro Paranal, a 2,635m mountain in the northern part of Chile.

Entries for the Prize must be about astronomy and related areas of technology, or about the work and lifestyles of astronomers, engineers or others working in the field of astronomy.

The entries must reflect European interests and they can be online, written or broadcast. Entries must have been published or broadcast during the period 1 July 2012 to 31 July 2013 inclusive. Applications close on Wednesday 31 July 2013.

Entry is open to journalists, students of a recognised journalism course, students of a recognised qualification in astronomy, or holders of a recognised qualification in astronomy, whose work is published or broadcast and is accessible to the general public. You may be asked to provide proof of your status.

Please make sure that you have read all the terms and conditions carefully. They are available online at http://www.stfc.ac.uk/astroprize and at http://www.eso.org/public/astroprize/
