Turismo de Madhya Pradesh expondrá en FITUR, Madrid 2023

Madhya Pradesh, el corazón de Incredible India, exhibirá su encantadora diversidad de vida silvestre, espiritualidad y rico patrimonio cultural en FITUR 2023

BHOPAL, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA, 10 de enero de 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — En el corazón de la India se encuentra una región que sorprenderá incluso al viajero más experimentado. Madhya Pradesh es superlativo en sus ofertas y peculiarmente intacto. En el desierto del estado, los pavos reales deambulan salvajes a través de espesos bosques de teca y los tigres merodean por varios de los mejores santuarios de vida silvestre del país. El estado alberga 3 sitios del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, la población más alta de tigres en el subcontinente y abunda en lugares de belleza escénica y natural. También es conocido por una variedad de delicias culinarias que emanan de las cocinas de Bhopal, Gwalior e Indore y una gama de arte y artesanía que incluyen las telas manuales de renombre mundial de Chanderi y Maheshwar.

 

En FITUR 2023, Madhya Pradesh exhibirá la inmensa diversidad que incluye proyectos de agroturismo y rural, además del bienestar y el turismo espiritual. El estado ha adoptado el Turismo Responsable como una misión con el objetivo de minimizar el impacto económico, ambiental y social negativo del turismo y brindar experiencias agradables a los turistas a través de una mayor participación de la población local. El turismo rural es uno de los proyectos clave de esta misión y se está implementando en 100 aldeas de Madhya Pradesh. Este proyecto tiene como objetivo representar la singularidad de las seis zonas culturales del estado.

Los aspectos más destacados de Madhya Pradesh incluyen los templos de Khajuraho que son el regalo único de la India para el mundo, ya que representan, como lo hacen, un himno a la vida, el amor y la alegría; perfecto en ejecución y sublime en expresión. En Bhimbetka, vívidas pinturas panorámicas en más de 500 cuevas representan la vida de los habitantes de las cuevas prehistóricas, convirtiéndolo en un tesoro arqueológico y una crónica invaluable en la historia del hombre. Sanchi es un importante lugar de peregrinación budista. Sanchi consiste en un conjunto de estupas, santuarios sagrados y monasterios, considerado como una de las estructuras de piedra más antiguas de la India. La Gran Stupa es un monumento construido para representar la vida y el viaje de Buda.

 

India, la tierra legendaria de videntes, sabios, líderes espirituales y sanadores, ha sido un faro de luz para los buscadores de todo el mundo durante siglos. La riqueza de la cultura de la India se manifiesta en una miríada de tradiciones, idiomas, religiones y rituales que le otorgan seriedad y profundidad. Madhya Pradesh ha sido venerado durante mucho tiempo por la riqueza de su patrimonio espiritual que tiene algo que ofrecer a todos los buscadores espirituales. Los diversos sitios espirituales antiguos y modernos de Madhya Pradesh, como Ujjain, Amarkantak, Orchha, Sanchi, por nombrar solo algunos, vienen con la promesa de un regalo de tiempo dedicado a la autorreflexión y una ocasión para conectarnos con nuestra alma. El estado ha sido cuna de varias religiones, incluido el hinduismo, el budismo y el jainismo, al mismo tiempo que ha sido testigo de una confluencia armoniosa de diferentes creencias y prácticas.

El estado alberga 526 tigres y una variedad espectacular de animales y aves en sus 25 parques nacionales. Siete décadas después de su extinción, el Guepardo fue reintroducido en el país bajo el programa ‘Proyecto Guepardo’. Ocho guepardos africanos, 5 hembras y 3 machos, fueron liberados recientemente en la naturaleza del Parque Nacional Kuno.

El estado será el anfitrión del Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas que se llevará a cabo en la ciudad de Indore del 8 al 10 de enero de 2023. A esta convención le seguirá una reunión de inversores globales los días 11 y 12 de enero de 2023.

Actualmente hay más de 25 vuelos desde España a India todos los días, de una variedad de aerolíneas, incluidas British Airways, KLM, Air France, Emirates, Vistara, Air India, Qatar Airways y Thai Airways. Los vuelos directos desde Madrid/Barcelona a Delhi tardan unas 7 horas y se puede llegar a Madhya Pradesh mediante vuelos de conexión que duran entre 60 y 75 minutos.

Biosphere amplifies Treehotel’s focus on sustainability and natural tourism designed by the Danish Bjarke Ingels Group

Biosphere amplifies Treehotel’s focus on sustainability and natural tourism, helping facilitate the conservation of the local bird population. With a façade containing 340 bird nests, Treehotel aims to decrease the downward spiral of the bird population in the Swedish woods and instead strengthen the biosphere and natural habitat.

The interior is simple and pragmatic, yet due to its checker solid-open conceptual make-up, allows for a range of experiences within a relatively small space. Visitors have access to a roof terrace – close to the treetop canopies – that offer a 360-degree views of the forest.

Through wrapping the new hotel room in an ecological habitat, guests are provided the opportunity to experience birdlife in close proximity, finding themselves in the epicenter of nature.


Biosphere is accessed via a suspended bridge that slopes from the ground to the top of the trees. The interior of the 34m2 hotel room incorporates rich dark interiors and organic materials inspired by the surrounding landscape, which further serve to reinforce the visitors’ view outwards and to focus on the natural beauty of the surroundings.


As all of the Treehotel tree rooms Biosphere has incinerating toilet and our sustainable Rukkamoinika water system with 3 litres of water for washing your hands.

Biosphere also has shower, sauna and tap water.

Biosphere was designed by the Danish Bjarke Ingels Group, BIG.

TITANIC EXPEDITION ANNOUNCED FOR SUMMER 2022; OCEANGATE EXPEDITIONS TO RETURN TO THE SITE 110 YEARS AFTER THE SHIP’S SINKING

A new crew of citizen explorers and researchers will dive to the wreck in Titan, the world’s only 5-crewmember submersible capable of reaching depths of 4000m.

November 23, 2021 – NASSAU, BAHAMAS – 
OceanGate Expeditions announces its second annual expedition to the wreck of the Titanic, the 2022 Titanic Expedition. OceanGate Expeditions will charter the Cyclops-class carbon fiber and titanium submersible, Titan, to carry crewmembers to the historic maritime heritage site which sits at 3,800 meters on the floor of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Citizen explorers, trained as Mission Specialists, will join a cadre of archaeologists, marine biologists, and Titanic experts on the second annual expedition to study and document the Titanic in more detail than ever before. The Titan submersible is outfitted with the latest camera technologies to capture ultra-high-resolution imagery that will help determine the wreck’s rate of decay and assess the marine life that dwell on the wreck.

“During OceanGate Expeditions’ 2021 Titanic Expedition, Mission Specialists helped our crew gather and review terabytes of the highest resolution still images and video of Titanic and the debris field ever collected,” says Stockton Rush, President, OceanGate Expeditions. “The 2022 Titanic Expedition will mark the second year of the digital preservation initiative and the first-ever consecutive-year crewed dive missions to the Titanic. The continuing support of Mission Specialists, our partners, and experts ensures that this important maritime heritage site is documented for generations to come,” continues Rush.

“Over the past 30 years I have completed more than 30 dives to the Titanic. The bow is the most exciting part of the Titanic to see. Year after year I have seen a lot of deterioration. It isn’t going faster, but you can see more of the inside of the ship as the wreck decays. Also, the mast has fallen down on the well deck. When you see the wreck with your own eyes it is very different than seeing it through an ROV camera. You need to see it with your own eyes,” says P.H. Nargeolet, veteran Nautile submersible pilot. “You have a lot of room inside the Titan submersible. We can have five people in the sub and there is a big view port. The sub is very well done, it is simple and easy to pilot, and there is a lot of innovation in Titan,” continues Nargeolet.

“How many people can say they have gone 12,000 feet into the ocean? The sub (submersible) felt very solid. The sub was more comfortable than I expected. We were in the sub for 11 hours. It didn’t feel anywhere near that long. There was plenty of room,” says Doug Jackson, OceanGate Expeditions Mission Specialist. “The sheer magnitude of the destruction was amazing. The steel was three inches thick and it was just twisted like a toy,” shares Jackson.

“It was something out of Discovery Channel or National Geographic. It was very surreal and amazing. This is one of the most interesting and unique experiences I have ever had. Less than around 200 people have ever been down to the Titanic and seen the wreck in 110 years. Even diving to almost 4,000 meters in a submersible is an experience onto itself. That’s what life is about,” says Aaron Newman, OceanGate Expeditions Mission Specialist.

The upcoming Titanic Expedition runs May through June, 2022. More than half the Mission Specialist roles for 2022 have already been filled. Aspiring Mission Specialists interested in supporting the Titanic Expedition should contact OceanGate Expeditions for qualifications, availability, and additional details.

Blue Origin and Sierra Space developing commercial space station

New Orbital Destination Opens Up Space For Business And Travel, Creating New Ecosystem

Blue Origin and Sierra Space today announced plans for Orbital Reef, a commercially developed, owned, and operated space station to be built in low Earth orbit. The station will open the next chapter of human space exploration and development by facilitating the growth of a vibrant ecosystem and business model for the future. Orbital Reef is backed by space industry leaders and teammates including Boeing, Redwire Space, Genesis Engineering Solutions, and Arizona State University.

Designed to open multiple new markets in space, Orbital Reef will provide anyone with the opportunity to establish their own address on orbit. This unique destination will offer research, industrial, international, and commercial customers the cost competitive end-to-end services they need including space transportation and logistics, space habitation, equipment accommodation, and operations including onboard crew. The station will start operating in the second half of this decade.

Conceptual images of occupants in the core module of Orbital Reef with Earth in the background

The core module of Orbital Reef.

Orbital Reef will be operated as a “mixed use business park” in space. Shared infrastructure efficiently supports the proprietary needs of diverse tenants and visitors. It features a human-centered space architecture with world-class services and amenities that is inspiring, practical, and safe. As the premier commercial destination in low Earth orbit, Orbital Reef will provide the essential infrastructure needed to scale economic activity and open new markets in space. Reusable space transportation and smart design, accompanied by advanced automation and logistics, will minimize cost and complexity for both traditional space operators and new arrivals, allowing the widest range of users to pursue their goals. The open system architecture allows any customer or nation to link up and scale to support demand. Module berths, vehicle ports, utilities, and amenities all increase as the market grows.

The Orbital Reef business model makes it easy for customers and is strategically designed to support a diverse portfolio of uses. The team has all the services and systems to meet the needs of emergent customers, including researchers, manufacturers, and visitors. Orbital Reef offers standard interfaces at all levels – locker, rack, and module. Seasoned space agencies, high-tech consortia, sovereign nations without space programs, media and travel companies, funded entrepreneurs and sponsored inventors, and future-minded investors all have a place on Orbital Reef.

The Orbital Reef team of experts brings proven capabilities and new visions to provide key elements and services, including unique experience from building and operating the International Space Station:

  • Blue Origin – Utility systems, large-diameter core modules, and reusable heavy-lift New Glenn launch system.
  • Sierra Space – Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) module, node module, and runway-landing Dream Chaser spaceplane for crew and cargo transportation, capable of landing on runways worldwide.
  • Boeing – Science module, station operations, maintenance engineering, and Starliner crew spacecraft.
  • Redwire Space – Microgravity research, development, and manufacturing; payload operations and deployable structures.
  • Genesis Engineering Solutions – Single Person Spacecraft for routine operations and tourist excursions.
  • Arizona State University – Leads a global consortium of universities providing research advisory services and public outreach.

“For over sixty years, NASA and other space agencies have developed orbital space flight and space habitation, setting us up for commercial business to take off in this decade,” said Brent Sherwood, Senior Vice President of Advanced Development Programs for Blue Origin. “We will expand access, lower the cost, and provide all the services and amenities needed to normalize space flight. A vibrant business ecosystem will grow in low Earth orbit, generating new discoveries, new products, new entertainments, and global awareness.”

“Sierra Space is thrilled to partner with Blue Origin and provide the Dream Chaser spaceplane, the LIFE module and additional space technologies to open up space for commercial research, manufacturing, and tourism. As a former NASA astronaut, I’ve been waiting for the moment where working and living in space is accessible to more people worldwide, and that moment has arrived,” said Dr. Janet Kavandi, former three time NASA astronaut and Sierra Space president.

“This is exciting for us because this project does not duplicate the immensely successful and enduring ISS, but rather goes a step further to fulfill a unique position in low Earth orbit where it can serve a diverse array of companies and host non-specialist crews,” said John Mulholland, Boeing VP and program manager for the International Space Station. “It calls for the same kind of expertise we used to first design and then build the International Space Station and the same skills we employ every day to operate, maintain and sustain the ISS.”

“The Orbital Reef represents the next evolution of the commercial space paradigm by creating the first ever crewed private sector platform in low Earth orbit. The Orbital Reef will carry forward the singular legacy of the ISS, supporting innovative microgravity research, development, and manufacturing activities which will advance fields as diverse as communications and biotechnology,” said Mike Gold, Executive Vice President for Civil Space and External Affairs at Redwire. “The microgravity environment presents an entirely new arena for commercial and scientific development, making Orbital Reef the platform that will launch new technologies and capabilities dramatically improving life on Earth while enabling humanity’s journey to the stars.”

“The Single Person Spacecraft will transform space walking,” said Brand Griffin, Program Manager for Genesis Engineering Solutions. “Space workers and tourists alike will have safe, comfortable, and quick access outside Orbital Reef. Shirtsleeve environment, great visibility, automated guidance, and advanced precision manipulators will make external operations cost-effective and routine.”

“ASU’s Interplanetary Initiative is honored to be leading the university consortium that is supporting Orbital Reef,” said Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Vice President of ASU’s Interplanetary Initiative and Principal Investigator of the NASA Psyche mission. “We’ve brought together an international group of more than a dozen universities to work on the ethics and guidelines of research — on how we can bring to bear all our expertise in science and research and manufacturing in low gravity, to help nations, corporations and groups that want access to Orbital Reef. It’s about collectively believing in our future and bringing science and engineering to bear on a better future – hugely exciting.”

Orbital Reef University Advisory Council

Arizona State University (ASU) leads a global consortium of universities, the Orbital Reef University Advisory Council. Comprising more than a dozen leading academic institutions with expertise in space and microgravity research, the University Research Advisory Council will focus academic community needs, stimulate research, advise novice researchers, evolve standards of conduct, and lead STEM outreach.

  • University Advisory Council members include:
  • Arizona State University
  • Colorado School of Mines
  • International Space University
  • Oxford University
  • Purdue University
  • Southwest Research Institute
  • Stanford University

Enjoy an idyllic Mediterranean escape at Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa

Mallorca, 2021: Jumeirah Group will open the doors to its exquisite Mallorcan clifftop retreat, Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa from 10 June 2021, inviting guests to make up for months of missed vacation opportunities with a sun-soaked Mediterranean summer to remember.

Set high above Port Soller overlooking the picturesque fishing village, on the edge of the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca, Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa is a breath-taking sanctuary in which to enjoy Jumeirah’s renowned hospitality and lose yourself in the land of romance and vitality. Offering panoramic views over the azure Mediterranean waters, its elegant rooms and suites, featuring works by revered local artist Toni Garau, offer the perfect setting in which to enjoy exceptional comfort and Jumeirah’s service beyond expectations. Guests can choose from a variety of sea and mountain facing options, from airy rooms for laid-back living to the split-level Lighthouse Suite with a private terrace and the Mar Blau Villa with its own pool and terraces. Stylish and tranquil, the hotel’s accommodation offers generous space and ample opportunity to enjoy an insta-worthy Mallorcan sunrise.

In line with Jumeirah’s commitment to offering extraordinary culinary experiences, Jumeirah Port Soller & Spa is home to a collection of exceptional restaurants and lounges. These include Cap Roig Brasserie, that has been transformed into a Marisqueria featuring locally inspired seafood dishes served on an open-air terrace overlooking the hotel’s show-stopping views, while the Sunset Lounge serves Asian inspired delicacies against the backdrop of the majestic Tramuntana mountains.

The perfect setting to relax, rejuvenate and switch off from daily life, guests can discover the benefits of wellness with an array of yoga and exercise classes as well as treatments at the hotel’s award-winning Talise Spa using all-natural products from leading skincare brand Sodashi. These include the Crystalus Body Massage, the Samadara Age-defying and Brightening Marine Facial and Pure Radiance Facial. Led by new Spa Manager Joana Martins, who brings years of expertise from roles with renowned brands across the Seychelles, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, the clifftop spa offers guests a private consultation in which a bespoke and personalised experience is then curated, fusing ancient healing philosophies with the finest products and customised therapies. One such treatment is a five-day detox programme designed to break down accumulated toxins and aid the treatment of cellulite and fluid retention.


There is also the state-of-the-art Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, where guests can channel their inner tennis champion and learn from the professionals. Tennis enthusiasts will also enjoy the Academy’s exhibition that charts the champion’s career and showcases his trophies, racquets and other memorabilia.

Gianluca Priori, General Manager of Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa, said: “We are delighted to welcome guests to Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa for the highly anticipated Summer season. Our breathtaking cliffside location offers an incredible setting for guests to switch off, reconnect with loved ones and have a truly enriching summer escape away from the stress of daily life. We have eagerly awaited this moment and look forward to enticing our guests with our unique dining offering and new local experiences.”

Jumeirah Port Soller & Spa was recently named The Best Resort in Spain from the internationally recognised Condé Nast Traveler Gold Awards for 2021, and won the Best Sustainability and Hotel Rehabilitation Projects Executed by Habitat Futura Group and TSMEDIA, recognising the hotel’s role in preserving the cultural heritage of the destination. As part of its array of enriching guest activities, the hotel will offer a series of engaging outdoor workshops in which local artisans will bring crafts such as ceramics, basketry, dance and art to life, sharing techniques that have been passed down through the generations.

Cementing Jumeirah Group’s position as a luxury hospitality leader in Spain, the hotel’s extensive offerings and experiences have earned it several prestigious awards over the past years, including the title of Europe’s Leading Hotel & Spa, Spain’s Leading Hotel and Spain’s Leading Hotel Suite: The Mar Blau Villa, at the World Travel Awards 2021.
