North Korean Visa Requirements for the New Tourist Train
May 2nd, 2010
In January, North Korea began loosening some of the restrictions on US tourists, allowing them to visit year-round in closely supervised tour groups. Now, according to Jaunted, the North Korean government has arranged for a "tourist train" to bring tourists over from China. Tourists on the train will be taken on a four-day tour of the country (the maximum length of stay allowed by the North Korean government).
North Korea may hope to invite more tourists to visit with the tourist train, but foreigners of all nationalities should still expect an experience more reminiscent of a lockdown than a vacation if they choose to enter the country. The subarctic relations between North Korea and the US make the process of gaining admittance to North Korea even more arduous for Americans.

Tanzanian Visa Requirements For Tourists
May 2nd, 2010
Tourism is one of Tanzania's most rapidly-growing industries. According to Wikipedia, Tanzania's tourist sector employs 27,000 workers and generates one quarter of the country's foreign exchange.
Tanzania has been blessed with a rich variety of natural and cultural attractions. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the entire continent, while the Serengeti features some of the most spectacular wildlife viewing in the world. Zanzibar features spectacular beaches, and Gombe is one of the best places to see our wild chimpanzee cousins-in fact, it is the place where Jane Goodall first began to study the animals.
The best tourist facilities, naturally, are located in the major cities or popular wildlife preserves. However, according to the Lonely Planet guide, it is both rewa
India Visa Requirements to Visit Kaziranga National Park
May 1st, 2010
Tucked away in the Indian state of Assam, the Bengal tiger is making what could be its last stand in Kaziranga National Park. Scientists studying the tigers there have shown that Kaziranga has the highest density of wild tigers in the world: 32.64 per 100 square kilometers (h/t Gadling). There are only about 1,300 and 1,500 Bengal tigers left in the wild, and according to Wikipedia, over the past 100 years their population has declined by 90%.
Kaziranga National Park is open to tourists. You can see the interior via a guided tour in a jeep, four-wheeler or on top of an elephant. Hiking in the park is strictly forbidden for reasons that should be obvious: There are many tigers in the park, and they are all faster than you.
Almost every decent-sized zoo in the US has a tiger exhibit.
Chinese Visa Requirements for Shopping in Shanghai
April 29th, 2010
In terms of population, China is not only the biggest city in China-with a population of over 20 million people, it's the largest city in the entire world. As you might expect from its size, Shanghai is an excellent shopping destination. In fact, it is often referred to as the "Shopping Paradise" and "Oriental Paris".
In Shanghai, you can buy just about anything-the finest tea in China, beautiful pearls and delicate jewelry, brand names and knockoffs, and even fighting crickets! If you are concerned about navigating the streets of Shanghai on your own, you can go as part of a shopping tour. However, traveling by yourself has its own advantages-you have more freedom to roam around, and you can spend the money you would have given the tour operator on stuff for yourself.

Cameroon Visa Requirements For Tourists
April 25th, 2010
Since the 1970's, Cameroon's government has been encouraging the development of the country's tourism industry, which has been growing slowly but steadily.
There's a lot to love about Cameroon-fascinating people, flawless beaches, and an amazing variety of wildlife. What keeps people away? According to Lonely Planet's guide to the country, "Cameroon’s tourist industry is a victim of geography. It sits in a tough neighbourhood, bordered by some problematic countries."
According to the US Department of State, Cameroon also has a high crime rate, so do be careful, especially if you decide to venture out of the well-known tourist industries.
However, these cautions aside, Cameroon does have a lot to offer the careful traveler. Cameroon encompasses a diverse variety of habitats and
