Bishop Launches A New Airline

there are indications that aviation industry unions will soon commence picketing of indigenous airlines, which disallow their workers to join the unions in the sector.

Going to India? TIps for India Travel.
The Good, The Bad, And The Safety—Tips For Traveling To India
Whether you are traveling to India for business or pleasure, travel tips can determine how enjoyable your trip will be. In India, there are many attractions that draw thousands of tourists every year, such as the Taj Mahal and the various Hindu temples. However, India is also the host of crime, disease, and several other negativities. When traveling to India, follow a few tips to ensure that your enriching cultural experience abroad is not hindered by food poisoning or sunburn.
Chorea, Hepatitis, Malaria—Oh My!
India is home to many risky diseases, including meningitis, dengue fever, dysentery, chorea, hepatitis, malaria, and typhoid. Travelers from the United Kingdom, Canada, or the United States do not require a vaccination certificate when entering the country, but tourists from other countries are required to show one upon entry. Wherever you are coming from, it is extremely important to be vaccinated against all of these diseases before visiting India. This travel tip is perhaps one of the most important ones of all—it could save your life.
Other travel tips when visiting to India include bringing mosquito repellents, nets, and sprays. These precautions will help to ward of the pesky mosquitoes that spread dengue fever and malaria.
Avoid The Germs
You should be careful about consuming any food or water when you travel to India. Avoid raw vegetables and pork, and you should never eat anything from a street vendor.
Water is typically not clean, so it is important that you aware of where your water is coming from. Try to ask for bottled water whenever possible. If all else fails, follow this tip when you travel to India: use iodine or chlorine tablets to purify your water. Although it important not to use too many of these, they kill most water-born diseases and can work great in a pinch.
Oh, The Sun!
India’s climate is extremely warm, especially in the south during the months of March, April, and May. To avoid dangerous sunburns or dehydration, make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and drink a lot of clean water. You can also purchase a sun umbrella to carry around with you, a practice common of many Indian women.

Your trip to India could be an experience of a lifetime, or it could be a complete and utter disaster. Practicing caution and using travel tips when visiting India will ensure that you experience the good side of vacationing in India.
