ASIA

Asia is too massive and diverse to conceptualize as a single travel destination as it offers many travel opportunities. Each country has its many differences in culture to include language, history, customs, religion, cuisine and scenery. If the allure of the exotic Far East results in a visit, then the decision lies on which destinations to select - from Thailand, China and Japan to Bali, Singapore and India among many others.
