Discover The Diversity Of Asia Now And Plan The Trip Of A Lifetime

July 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Traveling through Asia can be one of the most memorable and enriching experiences of a lifetime. Travelers seeking unique opportunities can swim with elephants in Thailand, relax in spectacular hot springs and enjoy centuries old wellness treatments in China, dive the coral reefs that surround the islands of the Philippines, master the art of meditation and tea ceremony during a temple stay in Korea, learn traditional Asian cooking styles with top chefs in Japan and Hong Kong, revel in Macau’s UNESCO World Heritage sites or enjoy a romantic dinner while cruising across Singapore’s sky in a cable car. With an infrastructure that allows easy travel across destinations by plane, ship, car or train, a trip to Asia can cover many destinations and experiences making for a highly rewarding trip. This is the idea behind Discover Asia Now.

Started in 2008, Discover Asia Now promotes fantastic travel deals and programs to Asia and offers in-depth information on travel to the region under one interactive website: www.discoverasianow.com.
