Zicasso Blog: Travel News and Company Updates

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note: It's been rather quiet here on this blog because we're finding that Facebook is a better medium for us to reach out and give updates, share insights on travel tips, destinations, etc.

We invite you to check our regular posts on our Zicasso Page on Facebook. And we'd be honored if you click on the "Like" button to follow us there. We do our best to ensure that if you like authentic, experiential travel, you'll enjoy our posts :)

Chinese New Year is celebrated with great food. Conde Nast Traveler claims Vancouver to have the best Chinese food in the world!

Where on the planet have you discovered the best Chinese food?

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! It's also Vietnamese, Korean, and Tibetan New Year...so many celebrations. If you haven't made your new year resolutions, it's not too late to do them today :)

As the New Year unfolds and ushers in a new decade, we wish everyone everywhere a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Decade!

In the travel industry, 2009 was perhaps one of the most roller-coaster years. Business at Zicasso was no exception. The first quarter saw many travelers being nervous about making a purchase decision for leisure travel, particularly for longer, complex international trips. Conditions fortunately improved during each subsequent quarter and by the fourth quarter, we saw a remarkable recovery and improvement in traveler confidence.
