SALT LAKE CITY — Travel on Utah roads this weekend is expected to be extremely difficult due to multiple winter weather advisories and heavy snow. And travelers driving to the Rose Bowl are advised to leave before Sunday to avoid the worst day of travel.

Roads are already starting to get hazardous with some small car crashes occurring.

Utah Highway Patrol said one driver on State Route 92 near Sundance Mountain Resort lost control and slid off the road, ending up in the stream.

The male adult driver and a 6-year-old passenger were transported to the hospital with minor injuries and the road was closed until the car could be pulled out of the river and the roads could

(CNN) — Travel has changed in many ways since the pandemic started, but one change for the better is the new push towards rural tourism. Where before we were intent on ticking off yet another city break, in lockdown we started dreaming of the great outdoors — and that still hasn’t changed.

So here are 32 new rural spots to add to your list. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has drawn up its second annual list of “best” rural villages around the world.

It’s a departure from the usual lists of Instagrammable places in peak tourist destinations. The UNWTO is a United Nations agency focusing on responsible tourism — so these villages have been chosen for how they’re growing visitor numbers without destroying what it is the visitors are coming to see. In a statement, the UNWTO said:

“The accolade recognizes rural destinations that are embracing tourism as a driver

The mainline Thruway (I-90) is now open, according to officials at NITTEC. Previously, the Thruway was closed between Exit 46 and the Pennsylvania line.

Interstate 290 and Routes 400 and 219 are also open, a NITTEC official told The News, though the I-190 in Erie County remains closed between the I-290 interchange and the mainline Thruway.

The I-190 in Niagara County reopened Tuesday morning, but the Erie County portion remained closed, likely because officials did not want drivers to exit the expressway within the City of Buffalo, which is still under a driving ban. In a statement Tuesday evening, officials indicated that the city’s driving restrictions would continue to be in effect Wednesday.

The driving tires in Lackawanna have been downgraded to an advisory as of 10 am, city officials said, though the entire stretch of Route 5 still remains closed.

Traveling by sea has always had an air of romance attached to it. Crossing the oceans with the wind in your hair and the panoramic backdrops of stunning sunsets and endless waves can instantly transport passengers to the glamor and golden age of sail.

In modern times, this mode of transport has been superseded by air travel, which takes people across waters and countries in a fraction of the time. Fast does not necessarily mean better. However, there are many benefits that a slower and more scenic way of travel can bring you.

Americans are poised to travel overseas in a big way in 2023.

The US dollar also remains relatively strong versus currencies like the euro, hybrid work yields more flexibility for big trips and some airlines have added new long-haul routes to overseas destinations, according to travel experts.

“The travel industry is just going gangbusters,” said Erin Florio, executive editor of Condé Nast Traveler.
