*A country just went visa-free for visitors with any passport*

As anyone who has traveled internationally will know, the passport one has will make it significantly easier or more difficult to visit certain countries. In 2023, Japan was taken over by Singapore for the status of the most powerful passport in the world. Citizens of the city-state can visit 192 of the world's 227 countries and travel destinations without a visa while Germany, Italy and Spain tied for second place. The U.S., which was in first place in 2014, is currently in eighth due to worsening relations with several nations over the years.Related: There is (finally) some good news for those who need to renew a passport But in an effort to draw in tourists, some nations are moving toward scrapping visas entirely. After getting rid of visas for fellow Africa nations last October, Kenya just announced that anyone regardless of nationality will be able to come to the country without a visa.

"It shall no longer be necessary for any person from any corner of the globe to carry the burden of applying for a visa to come to Kenya," Kenyan President William Ruto announced in a Dec. 12 speech celebrating the country's 60-year independence from Great Britain.

While Kenya's system will still allow the country to screen for and refuse entry to risky travelers, the scrapping of the traditional visa is also a political move meant to portray the country as welcoming to tourists. Travelers seeking safaris and African culture make up a significant part of Kenya's economy and have increased rapidly since the pandemic. In 2022, income from international visitors soared by more than 83% to $2.13 billion USD since the previous year and local officials have been taking steps to ensure the trend continues by promoting the country as a top tourist destination. While North American visitors made up the largest portion of international arrivals, Kenya has also been seeing an increasing stream of tourists from China, Japan as well as nearby African countries such as Tanzania and Uganda. "Kenya has a simple message to humanity: welcome home," Ruto said as part of the same Nairobi speech.

Planet Fitness partners with major rap artist crowned as ‘Mother Fitness’

Planet Fitness is planning to tackle “intimidation and high prices” with its new partnership with Grammy award-winning rap artist Megan Thee Stallion, dubbing her as “Mother Fitness,” according to a new press release. "Music plays a huge role in any fitness routine, so Planet Fitness is thrilled to be teaming up with Megan Thee Stallion to break down the barriers of fitness, help everyone focus on their fitness journeys, the 'Judgment Free' way, and channel their Big Fitness Energy," said Jamie Medeiros, chief brand officer at Planet Fitness, in the press release. "Megan Thee Stallion celebrates all the values of Planet Fitness through her dedication to physical and mental wellness, plus her powerful message of body positivity, which makes her an incredible partner for our brand."Related: This stove company just scored the best ad of the year (with Snoop Dogg's help) The partnership includes advertising, commercial spots, an AR filter and free in-app Planet Fitness workouts that are inspired by the Houston rapper herself. Also, the collaboration includes a limited-edition clothing line which includes bucket hats, crew neck sweatshirts, water bottles emblazoned with “Real Hot Girl Fit” and sticker sheets. All of the proceeds from the merchandise will go to the Pete & Thomas Foundation, which is a nonprofit that was founded by Megan Thee Stallion that “focuses on uplifting and assisting women, children, senior citizens, and underserved communities in Houston, Texas and across the world through education, housing, health and wellness.” The company also announced a limited-time offer where it is offering its gym membership for only $0.24 down and “no commitment,” from Dec. 30 to Jan. 12. The high-profile partnership from Planet Fitness comes after the company saw its shares drop to 16% in September this year, which is the company's lowest level in more than three years, after Chris Rondeau was unexpectedly fired as CEO of the fitness franchise. It is not a major surprise that Planet Fitness chose to partner with Megan Thee Stallion as she has grown her advocacy for health and fitness in recent years. Two years ago, the rapper launched a vlog series on YouTube called “Hottie Bootcamp” where she revealed that she was on a body transformation journey which included cutting out junk food and committing to a workout routine with help from a personal trainer. The rapper has also recently been documenting her workout routines on TikTok, where she revealed that she has been going to the gym two times a day in her most recent workout post, which has so far has garnered over 2.5 million views on the platform. The partnership between Planet Fitness and Megan Thee Stallion will also be on full display at this year's "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024," where the rapper will be the first performance on the Planet Fitness stage in Times Square.

*Here is why an actress accused Delta of a human rights violation*

Rising to fame through the teenage book-to-Netflix (NFLX) - Get Free Report adaption "13 Reasons Why" and later the comedy miniseries "Love in the Time of Corona," trans actress Tommy Dorfman has talked about her experience with Delta Air Lines (DAL) - Get Free Report to her significant social media following in a since-deleted TikTok video. "When you try to advocate for yourself at @delta and are met with even more transphobia and threats of being arrested at LaGuardia," Dorfman, who came out as trans in 2021 and uses she/her pronouns, wrote in the caption to the video.Related: Disabled travelers keep asking airlines to stop breaking their wheelchairs The short video shows Dorfman interacting with two Delta boarding agents at the New York airport. One is heard telling another passengers to wait to be served "while she's talking" before correcting himself to say "while he's talking."'If you want to take it personal,' Delta employee heard saying “You just misgendered me again, multiple times, both of you have," Dorfman is heard saying in the video. More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane "It wasn't intentional but if you want to take it personal that's also okay," the worker tells Dorfman in response before saying that they can "have port authority to escort you out of this building right this moment if you want to play that game with me. Would you like to continue three days before Christmas? I really don't mind." The airport workers are also heard repeatedly telling Dorfman to "just get on the flight." While she later deleted the video, Dorfman said that she told the employee that she would show the video to her million followers and "Tristan, the employee, said he was fine with me posting this."Delta says it is 'aware of the the video and looking into the matter' "Didn't realize it was condescending to flag a human rights violation after another employee misgendered me incessantly," Dorfman wrote further in the caption. The video was picking up significant traction online amid both Dorfman's fans and those outraged by the gate agents' behavior, but Dorfman did not elaborate on why she ended up deleting it. Delta, meanwhile, has been telling media outlets that they "are aware of the video and looking into the matter, including reaching out to our customer to understand more about what occurred." The issue of transphobia on airlines periodically arises at airports across the country in different iterations. In 2022, transgender advocates accused Canadian air carrier WestJet of not allowing people of X gender (Canada has made it possible to have people who identify as neither male nor female to have this in their passports since 2019) to enter it when booking flights online while United Airlines (UAL) - Get Free Report became the first airline to allow travelers to identify as "non-binary" in 2019. "TSA recognizes the concerns that some members of the transgender/non binary/gender nonconforming traveling public have with screening technology and certain security screening procedures at the nation’s security checkpoint," the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) currently says on its website over the check-in question. "TSA is committed to ensuring all travelers are treated with respect and dignity. Screening is conducted without regard to a person's race, color, sex, gender, gender identity, national origin, religion, or disability."
