A new step for visitors starting September 2025
Laos is modernizing its border entry procedures. From September 1, 2025, the Laos Immigration Police Department will pilot a new online arrival registration system for foreign passport holders.
This new procedure is similar to Thailand’s recent switch to a digital arrival card system (introduced in May 2025). Just like in Thailand, travelers heading to Laos will still need a valid visa—either an e-visa obtained online in advance or a visa on arrival (VOA) at eligible checkpoints—but they can now skip the paper immigration forms at the border.

You’ve probably noticed it: the real travel gems no longer show up in search results. In today’s all-digital age, those local operators, small authentic accommodations, passionate guides, and committed local initiatives remain invisible. No flashy website, no ads, often not even an online presence.
Yet they exist—people who take care of their land, their culture, their community. Hidden in valleys, villages, forests. These are the ones who truly give meaning to travel, the kind you only discover through word of mouth... or among savvy travelers.
A collaborative project is starting to patiently catalog them, one by one. It’s called DirecTravel. Not very well-known yet—it’s just getting started—but already shared among independent travel enthusiasts. Here, no standardization or flashy interface: every address has been discovered on the ground, the old-fashioned way. Some have even been recognized by the Sustainable Travel Awards.
Their approach? Taking the time to listen, build connections, and support local initiatives that will never appear on Google’s first page.
If you’re looking for something beyond the usual recommendations, and if the idea of sharing genuine tips speaks to you, then this project might interest you. And maybe you, too, have a gem to share with them.

By 2030, the tourism sector is evolving with the rise of virtual agents, booking via social media, and the transformation of loyalty programs.
A recent study anticipates several major developments in the travel industry by 2030.
Virtual agents powered by artificial intelligence will become personalized assistants, capable of organizing trips based on travelers' individual preferences.
At the same time, social media will position itself as essential booking platforms, making it easier to purchase flight tickets directly through these channels.
Loyalty programs will also undergo a revolution thanks to NFTs, offering monetizable and diverse rewards.
Among the expected innovations are:
Fast and free Wi-Fi available on all flights The ability to explore your room in virtual reality before even arriving Eco-friendly accommodations featuring hanging gardens and green spaces 100% digitalized check-in and check-out, with no need to stop by the front desk Automatic refunds if the price of your ticket drops after purchase

The 2024 AirHelp Score ranking highlights Air France (22nd), Air Corsica (48th), and Air Caraïbes (89th) among the world's airlines. Air France has improved with a score of 7.17, thanks to strong customer satisfaction (8.1) and punctuality (7.1), but needs to work on complaint handling (6.3). Air Corsica makes a notable debut, marked by solid punctuality (7.7) but weak claims processing (4.4). Meanwhile, Air Caraïbes has taken a sharp dive, penalized by a steep drop in complaint management (2.9). The global podium is dominated by Brussels Airlines, Qatar Airways, and United Airlines.

TikTok is currently experimenting with a hotel booking feature directly integrated into its app, in partnership with a well-known specialized platform. American users can now search for and book accommodations without leaving TikTok. Meanwhile, content creators with over 1,000 followers can promote hotels and restaurants in the U.S. and earn commissions or vouchers for bookings. This test, limited to the U.S. market for now, aligns with the trend of social commerce. There’s no doubt this initiative will be closely watched by major players in the online travel industry.

The cruise sector has seen a remarkable rebound since the pandemic, with 2024 attendance 20% higher than in 2019—outpacing air traffic growth, which was limited to 10%.
This performance is driven by an early recovery in the U.S. starting in 2021, competitive pricing, and enhanced onboard offerings. Cruise companies have invested in innovation, with a notable increase in patents related to passenger health (14%) and onboard services (50%).
These efforts have attracted a younger clientele, with millennials now making up 34% of passengers. This recovery model could inspire the airline industry to accelerate its own rebound.

Starting May 1, 2025, Thailand plans to introduce a Digital Arrival Card, an electronic arrival form to be completed before departure. Inspired by Cambodia’s system, this formality aims to digitize the collection of traveler information. The exact details (whether it will be mandatory, the form’s content, submission deadline) are still to be confirmed. In 2024, Thailand welcomed over 25 million visitors—a figure on the rise but still below the 2019 record (39 million).

Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris will reopen to the public on December 8th after five years of intensive restoration. The announcement has already sparked significant interest among both international tourists and French visitors.
Before the tragic fire on April 15, 2019—which deeply moved people and mobilized numerous patrons—Notre-Dame was one of Paris’s most iconic sites. With 12 million annual visitors, according to data from the Parisian Tourism Economic Observatory, it was the capital’s most popular cultural attraction, even outranking prestigious landmarks like the Louvre Museum.
The reopening of this Gothic masterpiece could mark a new chapter in Paris’s tourist appeal. Read more...

Zero selling of your personal data. No invasive advertising. Content that belongs to travelers, not algorithms.
The reality of the numbers: why we need you To be completely transparent with you, running a platform like ours—covering hosting, data security, moderation, and the technical team that supports us—costs 10,000 € per month. The 2026 goal: The site in your pocket Your support will go toward a major priority you’ve often asked for: making VoyageForum and MyAtlas more mobile-friendly.

But today, to keep the adventure going in 2026 without compromise, we need you. How can you help?

Dreaming of discovering Argentina? For a departure on January 17, 2027, the specialist AmériGo still has 3 spots left on its guided tour "Land of Contrasts," with an exclusive discount of 200 € per person reserved for VoyageForum readers.
In 14 days, this small-group trip lets you explore radically different landscapes, from the glaciers of Patagonia to the Iguazú Falls, passing through the mountains of northwestern Argentina and Buenos Aires.
From Tierra del Fuego to the glaciers of Patagonia The tour starts in Ushuaia, at the southern tip of the American continent. On the agenda: exploring Tierra del Fuego National Park and sailing on the Beagle Channel, between mountains, islets teeming with birds, and sea lions. Next up is El Calafate to discover one of Argentina’s most impressive natural sites: the Perito Moreno Glacier. The trip also includes a boat ride on Lake Argentino to admire other glaciers, as well as an evening at a traditional Patagonian *estancia*, complete with a grilled lamb *asado*.
From Iguazú Falls to the colorful mountains of Salta A dramatic change of scenery in Iguazú, where the tropical forest is home to nearly 275 waterfalls. The itinerary lets you see the falls from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides, offering two complementary views of this incredible natural site. Further west, in the Salta region, the landscapes turn Andean. Travelers cross the Quebrada de las Conchas and its reddish rock formations, discover the Seven Colors Mountain in Purmamarca, and visit the vineyards of Cafayate, with a tasting of local wines. The trip wraps up in Buenos Aires, with a tour of its iconic neighborhoods, from La Boca to San Telmo, and an evening dedicated to tango.
A guided small-group tour
This 14-day, 12-night tour is limited to a maximum of 16 participants. It’s perfect for travelers who want to explore several key regions of Argentina in one trip without having to organize all the necessary travel themselves. The package includes international and domestic flights, accommodations, local transportation, scheduled visits, and many meals.

3 last spots and a 200 € discount for VoyageForum readers

Originally planned for an official opening on July 3, 2025, the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, which has already been partially open since autumn 2024, has had its official inauguration pushed back to the end of the year. This decision, made due to growing tensions in the Middle East, was motivated by the desire to give the event the international dimension it deserves.
Spanning 500,000 m²—larger than the Louvre (which has 360,000 m² of total space, including 73,000 m² of exhibition areas)—the museum will house up to 100,000 artifacts, including the complete collection of Tutankhamun and a monumental statue of Ramses II. It can already welcome 4,000 visitors per day with limited access, with a future capacity estimated at 13,000 per day once fully open.
