If you are planning a holiday, why not consider more exotic, far-flung destinations and be a little different from the norm? These destinations often require much less spending money once at your chosen location as well as delivering a more varied and unique experience, contrasted with the drawback of being more expensive to reach! Whilst being more expensive to reach, these destinations often require much less spending money once at your chosen location, whilst delivering a more varied and unique experience.

Whatever your holidaying wants, the far east can provide an ideal setting for your brief glimpse of paradise.

Vietnam holidays can provide an extensively luxurious stay, with a plethora of five-star hotels to satisfy the most demanding holidaymaker. 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. The Petronas Towers have recently been unveiled as the tallest building in the world, and is demonstrative of the forward momentum of Malaysia’s economies.

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 of these destinations will provide a rewarding experience, but cater for slightly different tastes. The far east offers culture, excitment and the option to relax, making it the ideal destination whatever pleasure you seek!
