US could require up to $19,300 bonds for some tourist visas under new pilot programme
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The new visa programme, effective August 20, will last for approximately a year, the government notice said. WASHINGTON - The US could require up to US$15,000 (S$19,300) bonds for some tourist and business visas under a new pilot programme launching in two weeks, a US government notice said on Aug 4, an effort that aims to crack down on visitors who overstay their visas. The programme gives US consular officers the discretion to impose bonds on visitors from countries with high rates of visa overstays, according to a Federal Register notice. The bonds also could be applied to people coming from countries where screening and vetting information is deemed insufficient, the notice said. US President Donald Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a central focus of his presidency, surging resources to secure the border and arresting people in the US illegally. The Republican president issued a travel ban in June that blocks citizens of 12 nations from entering the US on national security grounds. The new visa programme, effective August 20, will last for approximately a year, the government notice said. The US government launched a similar pilot programme in November 2020 during the last months of Mr Trump's first term in office, but it was not fully implemented due to the drop in global travel associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the notice said.

Tourism boom sparks backlash in historic heart of Athens
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Plaka is nestled below the ancient Acropolis hill, which hosts the millennia-old Parthenon temple which welcomed almost 4.5 million visitors in 2024. ATHENS - Surrounded by a hubbub of blaring music, restaurant terraces and rumbling suitcase wheels slaloming between overflowing litter bins, Mr Giorgos Zafeiriou believes surging tourism has made his historic Athens neighbourhood unrecognisable. The Greek capital's Plaka district 'is threatened by overtourism', said Mr Zafeiriou, who has lived there for more than three decades and leads its residents' association. This year, 10 million people are expected to visit Athens, an increase of two million from 2024 which reflects the city's growing popularity as a tourist destination since the Covid-19 pandemic ended. Despite its label as the cradle of Western civilisation, Athens was previously regarded as a mere stopping point between the airport and the port of Piraeus, from where tourists explore Greece's myriad of picturesque islands. Nicknamed 'the neighbourhood of the gods', Plaka is nestled below the ancient Acropolis hill, a world heritage site hosting the millennia-old Parthenon temple which welcomed almost 4.5 million visitors in 2024. Plaka is now awash with tourists who navigate its warren of narrow streets lined with cafes, taverns, souvenir shops, small Byzantine churches and relics from Antiquity and the Ottoman era. Plaka 'is Europe's oldest neighbourhood which has been inhabited continuously since Antiquity', said Ms Lydia Carras, head of the Ellet association working to preserve the environment and cultural heritage.

'Saturated with tourists' Tourism is a pillar of the Greek economy, which endured years of painful austerity following the 2008 global financial crash and the ensuing eurozone debt crisis. For souvenir shop seller Konstantinos Marinakis, 'Greece is finally doing better thanks to the good health of tourism which allowed the economy to recover and create jobs'. But the flourishing sector has generated a backlash in Europe's most sought-after locations, with locals complaining of soaring housing prices and the impact on their neighbourhoods. Protesters have targeted tourists with water pistols in Spain's Barcelona, while the Italian city of Venice has introduced a charge in a bid to control visitor numbers. Mayor Haris Doukas told AFP with pride that Athens was now one of the world's 10 most-visited cities, but acknowledged 'areas like Plaka which are saturated with tourists'. 'We are not yet at the stage of Barcelona, but we must act before it is too late,' he said. An 'intervention unit' for Plaka was recently created to enforce rules with the support of the police. Any resident who spots a restaurant terrace encroaching on public space or cars parked on the pavement can report the offenders to this team. 'Between 1960 and 1980, Plaka was overwhelmed by discos and bouzoukias', and 'many residents had already left', explained Ms Carras, referring to clubs that play traditional Greek music. A 1993 presidential decree shut the clubs, protected homes and specified the use of each building in the neighbourhood, with hotels only allowed on certain streets. Rules 'dodged' But 'these rules have been dodged', with 'entire houses converted into several apartments' advertised on short-term rental platforms, said Mr Dimitris Melissas, a lawyer specialising in urban planning. Plaka's population of 2,000 can be swamped by up to four times as many tourists in the summer, added Melissas, although no official statistics exist because the census measures Athens as a whole. Representing Ellet, the lawyer has taken a case over the legality of 16 buildings converted entirely into seasonal rentals to the Council of State, Greece's top administrative court. He argued they are actually hotel premises in disguise because they have receptions or serve breakfast on terraces. A decision, which could set an important legal precedent, is expected by the end of September. The conservative government has banned new registrations of apartments on short-term rental platforms for at least a year in central Athens, where more than 12,000 seasonal lets existed in 2024, fuelling rent rises. 'But when I still read adverts in newspapers to invest in apartments that can be converted into Airbnbs, I doubt the effectiveness of this measure,' said Mr Melissas. 'The problem in Greece is not voting laws but enforcing them.' AFP

Why a Kenyan safari deserves a spot on your bucket list
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox A pride of lions (left) in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Dramatic wildlife sightings are a highlight on a trip to Kenya, a destination that is growing in popularity. KENYA – I am not an early bird by nature, but each morning, the promise of a Kenyan sunrise is enough to rouse me from slumber. Against the pastel hues of first light, wildlife wanders into my camera frame. A bushbuck at a watering hole, which I spot from my lodge's animal hide; a herd of buffalo, chocolate-brown specks grazing on the lawn of the Maasai Mara National Reserve as I glide overhead in a hot-air balloon. Little wonder that the East African nation is growing in popularity as a safari destination. More Singapore travellers are taking trips to the continent, with African destinations registering a 33 per cent increase in growth in the past three years based on booking data from tour operator Trafalgar. This is driven in part by a growing interest in wildlife encounters, cultural interactions and adventure activities, says Ms Mae Cheah, managing director (Asia) of The Travel Corporation Tour Brands. A herd of buffalo grazing in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK As an inveterate backpacker, my nine-day tour with Trafalgar in February is a departure from my usual travel style. Independent travel in Kenya is possible for the intrepid, but a tour eliminates the logistical constraints – not all tourist spots are connected by inter-city coach services, for instance, and delays are to be expected. And while group travel minimises the chance for spontaneous local connections, it offers access to the community, such as meeting with second-generation tea and coffee plantation owner Elizabeth Kariithi, one of the managers in family business Kiburi Home ( ).

Meet the Singaporeans bringing local food to Mumbai Asia Nearly 1,500 Singapore drivers fined for entering Johor without VEP tag since July 1 Singapore ICA to roll out new group feature in electronic change of address service from Aug 15 Here are three reasons Kenya is worth a visit. A land of contrasts Kenya is often associated with scenes of arid plains – a blazing egg-yolk sun descending beyond a dusty horizon or herds of wildebeests, numbering into the millions, making their annual migration – cycling between Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve in search of fresh pasture. But these postcard images belie Kenya's varied landscapes, which also mean the game viewing evolves as I move through the country. Rothschild's giraffes at Lake Nakuru National Park. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK North of the equator, in the semi-arid Samburu National Reserve, my group of five spots the reticulated giraffe with its tidy patchwork coat, found predominantly in Kenya. Farther south, we see instead the Maasai and Rothschild's giraffes, identified by their irregular markings, the shape and colour of autumn leaves. The differences are subtle, but to the wildlife lover, beautiful. Elephants are a common sight in Kenya's many national parks. ST PHOTOS: CLARA LOCK There are, of course, ample opportunities to spy the usual suspects – a herd of elephants with their young, a lone cheetah on the prowl, the endangered solitary black rhinoceros browsing. But perhaps most captivating is watching these animals exhibit their natural behaviours. Scenes from wildlife documentaries grow visceral, up close. As vultures feed and a hyena scampers away with the bloodied ribs of an animal in its jaws, the wind carries the stench of carrion. A pride of lionesses on the hunt in Maasai Mara National Reserve. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK Another day, a pride of lionesses are on the hunt. Soundlessly, they encircle a lone topi – a reddish-brown antelope, a sprinter. The cubs are instructed to stay back. In a line of safari jeeps, watching from a distance, we wait with bated breath. Something alerts the topi and, at the last moment, it skitters. Our group exhales a collective sigh. Disappointment on the lions' behalf mingles with relief for the antelope. Amid the landscapes, one thing is constant. Wildlife is Africa's biggest tourism draw and Kenya offers a front-row seat in the theatre of nature. Spot game from your hotel My room at The Ark Lodge, located within Aberdare National Park next to a watering hole, is equipped with something like a call bell. Upon checking in, I indicate on a list the wildlife I would like to see during the night – rhinos, elephants or lions, for instance – and staff will sound a wake-up call if the animals are spotted at the watering hole. The Ark Lodge, located within Aberdare National Park, is built next to a watering hole where animal sightings are common. ST PHOTOS: CLARA LOCK I sleep fitfully, but as luck would have it, no big game appears. Still, come morning, I spot a bushbuck from the lodge's wildlife hide, along with a giant forest hog scavenging in the dirt as the bruised pre-dawn sky lightens. The hide, a small circular stone room with narrow, unobstructed windows, keeps the cold and wildlife out while allowing guests to photograph them at eye level. I am close enough not to need the zoom lens on my camera – my iPhone will suffice. There will be time enough, later, for more elephant sightings than I can count. At Sweetwaters Serena Camp, a watering hole located just beyond the camp's perimeter draws a daily parade of wildlife. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK In the bush, natural water bodies indicate prime real estate. At Sweetwaters Serena Camp, located within Ol Pejeta Conservancy in central Kenya, a watering hole located just beyond the camp's perimeter draws a veritable parade of zebras, giraffes, elephants, buffalo and rhinos that come to drink and bathe throughout the day, culminating in a herd of elephants that arrives for a sand bath at dusk. Only a thin electric fence keeps them at bay. Comfortable, well-appointed safari-style accommodation at Sweetwaters Serena Camp. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK Guests line the perimeter of the camp, some moved to tears, some video-calling loved ones to show them the spectacle. Dozens of hippos soak daily in the watering hole next to Muthu Keekorok Lodge. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK Just as majestic are the dozens of hippopotamuses that soak daily in the watering hole next to Muthu Keekorok Lodge. It is hard to believe that these creatures, ponderous in appearance, are the world's deadliest land mammal – but their formidable canines, which they display in a yawn, warn otherwise. Each time they do, the shutters go off. Community experiences As fascinating as Kenya's wildlife are its people. Of the country's more than 40 tribes, the Maasai are the most well known for their striking traditional attire, semi-nomadic pastoral lifestyle and adumu, or ceremonial jumping dance. Maasai men demonstrate a traditional method of starting fire at a tourist camp near Maasai Mara National Reserve. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK I pay a visit to a Maasai camp, one of many that line the road leading to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. For around US$40 (S$51), visitors can peer into mud huts where families live and watch young Maasai men put on a perfunctory display of the adumu, which is typically performed during weddings, religious rites and cultural events. Photos are encouraged, donations to the local school are welcome and it is a fun visit, even if it feels more performative than informative.

ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK The women I meet at the Shela Women's Association (SWA) leave a stronger impression. Men line the streets in the neighbouring coastal towns of Lamu and Shela, but women are less visible. They might pop out to the shops for an errand or head to a friend's home – usually burqa-clad in Muslim-majority Lamu, an outlier in a country where 86 per cent of the population identifies as Christian, and where I spend four days after my tour. The association teems with colour and laughter and is one of the few community spaces where the women can let loose.

ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK Here, around 10 women aged between 22 and 50 gather daily to run cooking classes and cater food for weddings and restaurants, including supplying Camembert samosas to Peponi Hotel bar and restaurant, where tourists congregate. In between work, the women shoot the breeze, wearing the vibrant headscarves and dresses they conceal in public. Ms Jamila Abdillahi, 42, recalls being approached by SWA adviser Kelly Campbell seven years ago to run cooking classes out of her home, before expanding into the current location in 2023. Ms Campbell, 47, who is from the United States and has been living in Lamu for a decade, says: 'Myself, Jamila and the ladies started walking around the village and inquiring about available spaces that we could be creative with and renovate into a space for the women. We found a space that was being used as a closet and a small bedroom, secured the space and got to work.' She is the co-owner of The Village Experience, which specialises in socially responsible tourism. She is also the executive director of The Village Cooperative, a community development arm that focuses on projects such as SWA, including funding the launch of its community kitchen and retail store. The team sourced local artists and products as much as possible, including a logo created by a Kenyan designer and painted by a local artist (both living in Lamu), a reed mat handmade in nearby Matondoni village, and light fixtures from the town of Homa Bay in western Kenya. Kitenge fabric was brought from the capital Nairobi, and the cushion covers were made by a local seamstress.

After they leave, the women tuck into their own seafood lunch. Ms Abdillahi, whose wages go to the school fees of her three children and supplement what her boat captain husband earns, picks apart a lobster with her hands as she tells me: 'We get money, we enjoy, we make friends, we laugh.' An apt description of the locals I have met, who have opened up a slice of their lives to tourism. Travel tips A glamping tent at Ashnil Samburu Camp. ST PHOTO: CLARA LOCK Airlines such as Emirates, Qatar, Air India and IndiGo fly from Singapore to Kenyan capital Nairobi in 15 to 17 hours, including layovers in Dubai, Doha, Delhi and Mumbai. Uber is a safe and reliable means of transport in Nairobi. If you are travelling across the city, expressway tolls are well worth the time saved. A one-way Uber journey from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to the upscale Spring Valley suburb in Nairobi takes around 30 minutes and costs about $15, including tolls. Bargaining is expected at shops catering to tourists. As a rule of thumb, start at around a third to half of the asking price and work your way up. A nine-day Wonders of Kenya tour starts at US$4,725 (S$6,082). Other Africa tours offered by Trafalgar include a 10-day South Africa trip, starting at US$4,286, and an 11-day Morocco tour, starting at US$2,606. For more information, go to
