| Gallery: China's top 10 destinations of 2012 Posted: 06 Jan 2013 06:36 PM PST Where did travelers in China go last year and why? Forbes China has the answer While the overall numbers remain staggering, China's inbound and domestic tourism was affected by the slowing global economy in 2012. In October, China's official news agency Xinhua reported that the total number of international tourism arrivals for 2012 was expected to decrease by 2.2 percent, although the country's tourism revenues for the year were expected to increase 16.6 percent, reaching US$412.7 billion.

| We want! Made in India, candy-colored, vintage-style luggage Posted: 06 Jan 2013 02:21 PM PST For travelers who value fashion and functionality, custom-made trunks and cases are making steamship style hip again Article Page In today's age of frills-free travel, there's something about old school luggage -- unfunctional as it may be -- that brings back the joy of an era when the journey was as important as the destination. Trunk travel kicked off in the late nineteenth century, when most trips were taken by sea. Back then, the luggage business was dominated by French luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Goyard and Moynet.

| Future of air fares: More 'special' charges on the way Posted: 06 Jan 2013 10:02 AM PST Don't complain so quickly -- optional surcharges for things like checked bags, extra legroom and bottled water might actually benefit some travelers Article Page Not that long ago, paying to check a bag, watch an inflight movie or get an airplane meal would've been inconceivable. Today, flight surcharges for a lengthening list of redefined extras are the norm, sparking strong reactions in favor and not. "I like having fees unbundled," says one flyer on CNN.com. "I can endure a flight without a can of soda and stale peanuts. Anyone who hates all these fees is 100 percent free to purchase a higher fare ticket that includes all of the services already bundled in."

| Insider Guide: Best of Santiago Posted: 02 Jan 2013 12:48 PM PST In a list of most underrated world capitals, Santiago ranks high. Check out its food, wine, views and nonstop nightlife and you'll know why Article Page Head east and in no time you'll reach the Andes; west and you hit the beaches and coastline of the Pacific Ocean. Located in the middle of a long, narrow country, that directional review has for too long described Santiago's value to many onward-bound travelers. But Santiago (metro area population 7.2 million) is an undervalued treasure among South American cities. It's worth putting off Chile's other attractions a few days to get to know the best of Santiago's culture, food and pulsing nightlife.
