Increase of EUR 10 in fuel surcharge on scheduled long-haul flights as of 5 May 2006
Due to the continuing rise in the price of crude oil, and with it the kerosene purchase price the Austrian Airlines Group has been forced to make an adjustment to its fuel surcharge. An increase of EUR 10 is introduced on long-haul flights, the new fuel surcharge of EUR 62 per one-way flight will then apply. The surcharge in the short-haul and medium-haul segments will remain unchanged at EUR 12 per one-way flight. The new level applies for all long-haul tickets of the Austrian Airlines Group purchased and issued as of 5. May 2006.
The increase is only being introduced, therefore, on those routes involving a high level of fuel consumption due to the long flight distance. An Airbus A330 on a Vienna- New York- Vienna round trip, for example, uses around 90 tons of kerosene. On the Vienna-Sydney-Vienna route, the fuel consumption of a Boeing 777 is as high as 265 tons

La Colombie accueille à nouveau les touristes.
La Colombie a longtemps joui d'une assez mauvaise réputation suite à la violence qu'a connu le pays dans le passé. Après avoir fait la une de l'actualité pour le taux d'enlèvement le plus élévé au monde et la violence principalement provoquée par les mouvements de guérilla, la Colombie connait aujourd'hui une plus grande stabilité et surtout une sécurité accrue dont bénéficie l'industrie touristique. C'est ainsi qu'en 2005 près d'un million d'étrangers ont visité le pays ce qui constitue une progression de l'ordre de 21% par rapport à 2004. Autre preuve du redressement de l'industrie touristique est la tenue à Bogota d'un workshop de deux jours qui s'est terminé le 27 avril 2006. Conscientes du potentiel touristique du pays les autorités Boliviennes entendent promouvoir non seulement les plages et le soleil mais également l'histoire et la culture, le congrès et conventions, l'agrotourisme sans oublier un autre point fort à savoir le tourisme d'aventure. Le Bolivie est un pays à découvrir qui possède un important potentiel qui ne peut que séduire le touriste en quête de nouvelles découvertes. Nous y reviendrons prochainement.

Virginia City, dans le nord du Nevada, épicentre de l'ère minière à l'époque du Far West, a su conserver son charme de jadis avec ses trottoirs en planches, ses saloons, ses mines que l'on peut toujours visiter et son authentique train à vapeur. Le " Silver Line Express " permet d'accéder avec un seul billet à une sélection d'attractions, avec parmi celles-ci la visite de la mine de Ponderosa, la résidence Mackay, construite par George Hearst, le grand manitou du journalisme, et son mobilier d'époque, le St. Mary's Art Center, un ancien hôpital de quatre étages construit en 1876, aujourd'hui une galerie d'art et le célèbre Piper's Opera House, où se sont produits autrefois Houdini, Mark Twain et Sarah Bernhardt.

Buffalo Bill State Park & Buffalo Bill Reservoir
Situé à 9 kilomètres à l'Ouest de Cody, le Buffalo Bill State Park borde la Shoshone National Forest. Le Gouvernement a racheté une partie des terres appartenant à Buffalo Bill pour y implanter un réservoir afin d'y construire un barrage. Les travaux ont débuté en 1905, et 5 ans plus tard le plus grand barrage du monde (environ 110 mètres) était né. Le Buffalo Bill State Park n'a été créé qu'en 1957. Il est aujourd'hui un parc d'activités récréatives (planche à voile, pêche à la truite.). On peut découvrir une très belle route entre Cody et Yellowstone (en passant par Wapiti Valley) qui offre des vues magnifiques du Buffalo Bill Reservoir, du Shoshone Canyon, le tout bordé de la végétation de la Shoshone National Forest. Avec son très beau dégradé de couleurs, Roosevelt avait défini cette route comme " the most scenic 50 miles in the world ".

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
Au sud-ouest de l'Arizona, près de la frontière mexicaine, se trouve le majestueux Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Situé en plein cour du désert de Sonoran, le monument national abrite une large collection de plantes telles que les cactus cholla, ocotillo, créosote, le saguaro et bien sûr l'organ pipe cactus. Ce célèbre cactus, qui doit son nom à sa forme de tuyaux d'orgue, est rarissime dans les autres états des Etats-Unis. C'est pour protéger cette espèce que cette région a été érigée en monument national en 1933. Pour mieux apprécier la beauté de ce paysage pittoresque, plusieurs options s'offrent aux visiteurs : auto-tour, vélo, cheval et même camping pour ceux qui désirent contempler la beauté nocturne du monument.
