About the author
We know little more than nothing about Michael T. (Michael Thibault). It looks like that before starting out the project “Art Frame Design” in 2018, the sales manager from France had never been engaged in any creative activities. However, he did start a blog about contemporary art and design on his website. Other than that, Michael’s got a pretty good understanding of classic art as well. How else would you explain his amazing ability to find paintings that would perfectly match his collages?

“Art Frame Design” is a new Instagram account that merges classic art with modern urban and fashion photography. The person behind the project is Michael T from the web zine “Milkshake” who re imagined what famous characters from classic paintings would look like if they were living in our contemporary world. And he does so by harmoniously framing classic paintings into modern fashion photos. Michael T. might not be a graphic designer, but he really is an art lover!

It all started when Michael was looking for the visuals to post on Milkshake, and since he couldn’t find any, he decided to take an initiative and do it himself. He took one of Van Gogh’s portraits and beautifully framed it into a fashion photo. The reimagined photo of Van Gogh got so many positive comments, likes, and shares on Instagram that Michael decided to make more. People liked his work so much that he came up with an idea to turn this series of photographs into an art project, later named as “Art Frame Design”.

The resort city of Sanya on the southern end of China’s Hainan Island, plans to compete with Turkey in tourism from Russia. To this end, Hainan resort hotels have begun to introduce an “all-inclusive” system, aimed at Russian tourists notorious for their love of “khalyava” – an untranslatable concept, similar to the concepts of “freebie” and “getting something for nothing”.
Chin also said that Turkish experts were invited to Hainan hotels to set up an all-inclusive system. Initially, the system will be implemented in “five-star” and “four-star” properties. Then specialists will get to hotels with three or less stars.

According to the president of the board of directors of the international tourism service of the city of Sanya, Wang Dong Chin, China intends to adopt the experience of Russian tourism in other “budget” countries and become more competitive in that field. It is noteworthy that the cost of hotel services that will be connected to the all-inclusive system will not change. According to Van Dong Chin, a 6-day stay at the resort will cost about 50 thousand rubles (about $780) per person.

The fastest growing tourist destination in the world has been revealed in new research released by the United Nations. Egypt received a record number of tourists in 2017 compared to 2016 as the North African country continues to recover from a spate of terrorist attacks and tragic accidents. The finding was unveiled in the Tourism Highlights Report of the UN’s World Tourism Organisation which presents a concise overview of international tourism in the world based on the results for the year 2017.

The report revealed that 2017 saw the highest growth in international tourist arrivals in seven years since 2010, as well as the recovery of destinations suffering from security challenges in recent years. Egypt is one such destination. “Egypt led growth both in absolute and relative terms in arrivals, rebounding strongly from previous years,” the report said.

It added: “Visitor numbers rebounded from both traditional markets in Western Europe and emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Promotional efforts and a return of confidence contributed to this recovery.” Egypt’s success in the report is backed up by statistics from Thomas Cook which has revealed that in 2018 Egypt experienced more bookings than in previous years. However, 2017 saw the country benefit from an incredible 55.1 per cent increase in tourists compared to 2016.

Tourists should be aware, though, that the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) state that the risk of terrorism is “very likely.” However, they add: “Around 319,000 British nationals visited Egypt in 2017. Most visits are trouble-free.”
