Each year Americans celebrate Indigenous People’s Day as well as Columbus Day on October’s second Monday. The day intended to recognize and commemorate the legacy and beneficence of all the people who resided in the continent long before Columbus claimed (erroneously) of having “discovered” America. In 2021 President Joe Biden signed a proclamation that stated that the federal policies have “systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures.” https://twitter.com/Lfunguscal/status/1711213009895612813?s=20 Since then, Indigenous People’s Day has been formally accepted and celebrated all around the country. Many states celebrate Indigenous People’s Day officially, while others commemorate it in the form of proclamations. North of 100 cities have decided to replace Columbus Day entirely with Indigenous People’s Day. Children in school and office goers will likely enjoy a long weekend. The question is bound to arise whether some of the essential institutions will remain open or closed. Mail For the holiday, the United States Postal Service will remain closed and will not be delivering mail and packages. UPS will be operating If you still need to get mail out or in, opt for FedEx and UPS, who will stay in business as usual. UPS will be operating fully, but there might be a modified service with FedEx Ground Economy and FedEx Express. Banks Monday is a bank holiday for the Federal Reserve. Markets, however, will remain open such as the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, that will be in business. Major banks such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, US Banks, and branches of Citibank will stay closed. TD Bank and Chase Bank will stay open for the Indigenous People’s Day holiday. https://twitter.com/ydrcom/status/1710980896235401302?s=20 Government Institutions Because it is a government holiday, government institutions will remain closed, such as teh likes of libraries, offices, DMV, and courts.

At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit organized in San Francisco, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed improving the air connectivity between the two countries and streamlining the visa process. The discussion continued at a dinner hosted by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and the US-China Business Council. At this dinner, Chinese President Xi confirmed that the tourism ties between the two countries will improve. There have been claims made by President Chris Thompson, the president and CEO of the Brand USA. These claims inform that the U.S. cannot completely recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic without Chinese tourism. Complete Chinese tourism has not resumed! Factors such as weak air connectivity and long visa wait times impact the overall tourism sector worldwide, including the U.S. and China. According to reports, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Chinese tourists contributed heavily to the U.S. economy. The Chinese tourists spent about $15 million when visiting the U.S.! In a year, the average number of Chinese who visited the U.S. was about 2.5 million people, and the way they boosted the U.S. economy was nowhere near any other market. It is due to this reason that the U.S. is improving its tourism ties with the Chinese government! According to President Geoff Freeman of the U.S., the international side of tourism is also impacted by the irregular and disturbed tourism ties between China and the U.S. This change will affect the Travel Association, the company's CEO, worldwide. He spoke at the Skift Global Forum that the market Chinese tourists support in the U.S. will only be available here. Let's look forward to a developed relationship between China and the U.S., starting from tourism. Read Also: Zanzibar Or Oman: Which Do The Hungarian Tourists Like?

In today's world, many people have opted to work at their own pace, at their own time, and be their own boss. All this while traveling the world. Sounds like a life straight from your dreams, just before you wake for your 9-5 job? It is indeed a tempting choice to work when and where based on your whim and live your life on your own terms. This can be a truly liberating experience. But it is not without a challenge to get here. Many have gone down this road but have remained unsuccessful. Earning while you travel is a risky business. There are certain things that work and don't work. Here are certain things you must keep in mind. You can begin by investing in a catchy domain. This will help you gain a strong brand identity and garner the right audience for your content. Going off the beaten track is as adventurous as is lucrative. People want to know about things they have never heard of before. The same destinations don't attract a crowd. Your biggest payoff will come from being authentic. Talking about things openly and freely will show you in a positive light to people watching you. They will know you hide nothing. If you choose to go a certain way, you cannot be in a dilemma. You have to be sure of what you are doing. Going all in is a cornerstone for endeavors such as this. Not everything is meant to be done alone. This is where you bring in a team of like-minded people who will hold the sails forward. A strong team can keep you motivated to push forward. Get inventive and see where you are going strong. Strengthen the bits that are already bringing in profits. Consider introducing your own line of travel accessories. Your business may be online but going physical never harmed anyone. Dabbling between the two is a good idea. Finally, stay patient and keep yourself disciplined. This is going to be a tough time initially but keep yourself prepared mentally. That will help you refrain from giving up. Keep Reading: 10 Best Restaurants In The US Maldives And Bora Bora Among Top 10 Tourists Spots In The World
