Why not differ from the norm and plan a holiday in a more exotic, far-flung destination?? Whilst being more costly to reach, these resorts are often cheaper once you arrive at your chosen location, whilst delivering a more varied and unique experience! Whatever your travelling needs, the far east can provide an idyllic setting for your quick peek at paradise. Whatever your holidaying wants, the far east can provide an ideal setting for your brief glimpse of paradise.

Vietnam holidays can provide an exquisitely lavish stay, with a myriad of five-star hotels to satisfy the most demanding traveller. There is even the option to follow the same route as the infamous trio on Top Gear, travelling the length of the country South to North. However the country is flourishing, despite their depiction of Vietnam, dubbed as the next “Tiger Economy” as companies relocate there seeking cheap labour and in return bringing wealth and expertise. Vietnam provides an idyllic forum to relax on the smooth sands of its beaches or explore the vibrant cities such as Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and Hanoi, whilst remaining relatively undamaged by the destructive impact of tourism. If Vietnam sounds too daunting, you could enjoy Malaysia holidays, a country where tradition mingles with modernity, and the landscape provides a perfect blend of rainforest, serene beaches and vibrant urban areas. Home to the tallest building in the world, the Petronas Towers, Malaysia is demonstrative of the forward momentum most Asian economies are currently enjoying.

Alternatively, China holidays could be a wildcard entry in your list of potential holiday destinations. Like Malaysia, China offers a perfect contrast between old and new, with its rich cultural heritage offset by state-of-the-art buildings such as those found in the Pudong commercial district of Shanghai. You can explore the spirituality of ancient tombs and temples as you explore the mountainous region of Tibet, dubbed “the roof of the world”, before enjoying Shanghai’s shops, reputed to be amongst the world’s best. Each destination caters for different tastes, but all will provide a rewarding experience. Whether you are travel for culture, relaxation or excitement, the far east offers it in abundance!
