Padel is a fast-growing racket sport, and resorts are courting players
Move over, pickleball. Hotels and resorts worldwide are embracing the next big racket sport. Padel, essentially a cross between tennis and squash, is winning over converts at a rapid pace. And while the sport isn't technically new -- the International Padel Federation traces its origins to 1960s Mexico and the game has long enjoyed footholds in places like Spain and Argentina -- padel is spreading to new markets. According to the 2024 "Global Padel Report" from Playtomic and PwC's strategy consulting arm Strategy&, almost 6,000 padel courts opened globally in 2023, representing a 16% increase from 2022. Additionally, more than 2,500 padel clubs opened around the world that same year, with markets like France, the U.K., Germany and the U.S. all contributing to the uptick. "In Spain, it's actually overtaken soccer as a participation sport now," said Ian Ryder, co-founder of U.K.-based Padel Tripper, which crafts group travel experiences around the game. "And I reckon in five or six years, padel will be overtaking pickleball in the U.S." Founded in early 2023, Padel Tripper primarily offers padel trips in Spain. The company, which is open to working with advisors, offers a scheduled calendar of experiences as well as bespoke trips for private groups, with a standard three-night, four-day coaching package starting at around $800Note, inclusive of accommodations, coaching and tournament access. What makes the sport so uniquely appealing? Ryder cites padel's combination of accessibility and social connection. "For tennis, you've got to spend months just trying to get the serve," he said. "But with padel, you can actually start to rally very quickly without any particular skill." Padel players pose during a Padel Tripper-organized trip. Photo Credit: Padel Tripper Ryder added that the smaller, enclosed court creates a distinctly communal atmosphere. "From a social perspective, I've never experienced something like it -- everyone's noisy and laughing," said Ryder, adding that the sport is also "very inclusive," with a higher percentage of female players than tennis. Among Padel Tripper's preferred accommodation partners is the Hotel Alicante Golf, which offers on-site padel courts and proximity to what Ryder describes as "one of the best padel centers in the world," Bela Padel Center. "Every padel player I speak to, when they go on holiday, the first thing they do is look to see where the padel courts are," Ryder said. "So hotels and resorts that are adding these facilities now are really positioning themselves ahead of the curve." Padel facilities and programming are popping up at high-end hotels and resorts around the globe. Last year, the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland unveiled its Gleneagles Sporting Club, complete with three padel courts and padel coaching services. In April, the Oberoi Marrakech in Morocco added a padel court to its fitness offerings, while the Baha Mar resort complex in the Bahamas plans to expand its John McEnroe Tennis Center with padel courts in the coming year. Properties in the U.S. are also getting in on the action. The Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa near San Diego, long known for its expansive tennis and pickleball facilities, partnered with sporting goods company Wilson to open three padel courts earlier this year. For the Rancho Valencia, the decision to add padel was driven by guest and member demand. (The property offers club memberships that provide access to its fitness and wellness facilities along with other programming.) "We're always looking to be at the forefront of the racket sports and wellness industry, and we have a wonderful membership base that is very passionate," said Lisa Rosenthal, club director at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa. "They were coming to me asking if we were going to consider adding padel." Consequently, the resort converted one of its tennis courts into three padel courts. The courts, which were crafted by Spain-based company Grupo Padel Galis World, feature panoramic glass walls designed to showcase the property's lush surroundings and join the resort's existing array of 12 hard tennis courts, three red clay tennis courts and four pickleball courts.

Photo Credit: Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa Unlike the noise issues sometimes associated with pickleball -- which is known for its sharp "pop" sound when the ball hits the paddle -- padel's reception has been overwhelmingly positive, Rosenthal said. She described the sport as "louder than tennis, but not as loud as pickleball." "There's actually a lot of curiosity because people have never even seen the padel racket before, or they don't know the rules," she added. "It's such a brand-new thing to explore in the racket sports world, which doesn't happen often." The addition of padel has proven especially popular with the Rancho Valencia's international guests. "A lot of our loyal guests that are international are thrilled to find that we now have these courts, the sport they play at home," she said. "And we're really one of very few luxury properties in the U.S. that have padel at all right now."

Bold move to keep Americans safe from ‘terrorists' is basis for US travel ban for some African nations
President Donald Trump's restrictions on travel from 10 African countries are being praised by analysts for improving U.S. security internationally and domestically. The president said on X the travel ban was being introduced after a terror attack against a pro-Israel group advocating for Hamas to release Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado, last weekend, allegedly by an Egyptian man who had overstayed his visa. In a White House fact sheet, Trump said, "We will restore the travel ban, some people call it the Trump travel ban, and keep the radical Islamic terrorists out of our country." Suspect In Boulder Terror Attack Determined To Be Egyptian Man In Us Illegally: Fbi This point was backed by the State Department's principal deputy spokesperson, Tommy Pigott. In a briefing Thursday, Pigott said, "This is a national security imperative". But observers believe there is an external, international reason. Read On The Fox News App "Most, if not all, of the African countries were added to this list either because of extreme instability and thus terrorist havens or because relations between them and the U.S. is either extremely poor or non-existent," Bill Roggio, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of FDD's Long War Journal, told Fox News Digital. "For instance, the U.S. has been historically hard on Eritrea for its human rights abuses and also alleged support for terrorism. While in Chad, its military regime kicked the U.S. military out of its territory last year, further hurting the U.S. military posture in Africa." Trump Bans Travel To Us From Several Countries To Block 'Dangerous Foreign Actors' Some of the restricted African countries listed below pose significant potential security concerns for the U.S. The world's two principal Islamist terror groups, ISIS and al Qaeda, represented here by Al-Shabaab, both operate openly in Somalia. The White House described it this week as "a terrorist safe haven." A briefing note accompanying the travel ban declared, "A persistent terrorist threat emanates from Somalia's territory. Somalia also remains a destination for individuals attempting to join terrorist groups that threaten the national security of the United States." The U.S. Africa Command mounted five air attacks against operators from both groups in just the 12 days up to June 2. Fighting and subsequent piles of bodies in the streets have been reported in the past month in Tripoli, the Libyan capital. The U.N.'s Support Mission in Libya recently posted on X that the situation could "spiral out of control." "The historical terrorist presence within Libya's territory amplifies the risks posed by the entry into the United States of its nationals," the White House note states, adding U.S. border officials can't properly vet Libyans because "there is no competent or cooperative central authority for issuing passports or civil documents in Libya." The U.S. has already imposed sanctions against the leaders of both parties involved in a two-year civil war that has reportedly killed 150,000 and displaced 12 million. The U.S. claims up to 28% of Sudanese overstay their visas. The criminal records of Eritreans are not available for inspection by U.S. officials. With an overstay rate of up to 55%, the White House also reported that "Eritrea has historically refused to accept back its removable nationals." Critics Have Meltdown And Accuse Trump Of Imposing Renewed 'Muslim Ban' Through 'Disgusting' Travel Order The West African country is causing concern in Washington as it deepens relations with Russia. Chad President Idriss Deby went to Moscow last year for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Kremlin Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was then warmly welcomed in Chad's capital, N'Djamena, for a reciprocal visit. Russia's shadowy Wagner private mercenary group's importance in the country is being questioned after three of its members were arrested in September and sent back to Moscow. Banning nationals this week, the U.S. said Chad has had a visa overstay rate of up to 55%. In Chad, President Deby responded by saying, "I have instructed the government to act in accordance with the principles of reciprocity and suspend the issuance of visas to U.S. citizens." People from this West African country have reportedly overstayed their F, M and J visas by up to 70%. Depending on the visa category, up to 35% of citizens in the U.S. are reported to have overstayed their visas. Overstaying is the main issue for the other African countries whose nationals are partially restricted and now have only limited entry into the U.S. Has an overstay rate of up to 35%, and, the White House says, "has historically failed to accept back its removable nationals." Togo suffers from poor governance, nepotism and widespread corruption, which reportedly goes all the way to the president's office. Over 50% of the population lives below what's regarded as the international poverty line. Togo's nationals have an overstay rate of up to 35% in the U.S. Burundi vies with South Sudan for the dubious title of poorest country in the world. Yet soaring inflation has caused a devastating rise in food prices. A former rebel group has led the country for two decades in a climate of political unrest and alleged repression.

Tickets for North Pole Express train trip in Michigan go on sale soon. What to know
The home of the North Pole Express, the locomotive featured in the 2004 Tom Hanks movie, "The Polar Express," this week announced when tickets for the fall train excursions will go on sale. "The moment you have been waiting for is about to arrive!," the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso, Michigan, announced on Facebook. "We are pleased to announce that tickets for the 2025 North Pole Express will be available to purchase on Tuesday, June 24th beginning at 12:00pm noon EDT." In 2024, tickets sold out for the annual series of train trips within an hour, except for some single tickets. The tickets were so popular, it led to scams preying on people who couldn't get tickets in the initial sale. The SRI even added additional excursion dates because of the demand. The SRI said it plans to provide answers to questions over the next few weeks ahead of the start of ticket sales. "Over the next couple of weeks we will share frequently asked questions, information, and a ticket purchasing tutorial regarding North Pole Express," the SRI said in the announcement on June 6. Here's what to know. Tickets for the 2025 North Pole Express trips will go on sale at noon June 24, 2025. According to the SRI website, coach tickets start at $85 per person. A Cocoa Class ticket is $125. Tables of four are available at $550, individual tickets in a caboose or private car are $3,200. The Frank Thompson Private Class is $6,500 for the entire car with up to 26 passengers. Ticketing doesn't open until noon June 24. The SRI offers a ticket purchasing tutorial on its website outlining the entire process. Starting Nov. 21 and continuing on weekends until Dec. 21, the SRI's Pere Marquette 1225 steam-powered locomotive pulls a train of historic passenger cars from its Owosso, Michigan, museum grounds to Ashley, Michigan, on a Christmas-themed trip. "This holiday season put on your favorite pajamas or 1940s/50s attire and join us for a nostalgic journey to the Christmas of yesteryear when you climb aboard the North Pole Express!" the SRI says on its website. "Depart from the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso for a four and a half hour, round trip excursion to the Village of Ashley's Country Christmas." In Ashley, passengers can disembark, visit Santa, various vendors and take part in other activities before boarding the train back to Owosso. On occasion, the SRI has used other trains in its collection to pull the excursions when the 80-plus-year-old train suffers mechanical issues. The 1225 was built in October 1941 at the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio for the Pere Marquette Railway, the SRI says on its website. The locomotive was used for 10 years between Detroit, Toledo, Flint, Saginaw, Grand Rapids and Chicago. The locomotive is one of 39 2-8-4, or 'Berkshire," types ordered by the Pere Marquette. The Pere Marquette 1225 is 15 feet, 8 inches tall, and 101 feet long with a combined engine and tender weight of 401 tons. It can produce 5,000 horsepower. "It takes about eight hours to generate a full head of steam on the locomotive's boiler, which operates at 245 pounds per square inch. The tender holds 22 tons of coal and 22,000 gallons of water, consuming one ton of coal for every 12 miles and 150 gallons of water per mile. The locomotive cost $245,000 or roughly $2.5 million by today's standards," the SRI says. The engine is part of the National Register of Historic Structures. It was the model for the animated locomotive in the 2004 Warner Brothers Christmas Classic, "The Polar Express." The 1225's blueprints were used as the prototype for the locomotive image, as well as its sounds to bring the train in the animated film to life. The SRI hosts a number of events on its grounds each year during which its locomotives, passenger cars and other artifacts are on display. The summer open house is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 29.
