Surprisingly Hong Kong

Armed with all kinds of travel lore, we were in for a big surprise when we arrived in Hong Kong on our week-long summer vacation.

Beyond expectation service

We booked a Halong Bay 2 day/1 night on Indochina Sails and it was the highlight of our trip in Vietnam. Everything was smooth from the beginning to the end. 
Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay are so wonderful in its nature. The boat was spacious and nicely decorated. Our cabin has a very big window with a view of the water and the islands so we could lie in bed enjoying the bay view outside.
The staff couldn’t be faulted in any way; they were very helpful and professional. The food was plenty and re

In essence, travelers will create and share their own travel experience. They, not tourism officials or travel writers, will shape and determine the nature and quality of travel.

Professor Dimitrios Buhalis , Director of the eTourism Lab at Bounemouth University (UK) , tells us what we already intuit: the world "is going to be totally interactive, using personalization, context information and inter-connected devices" that will change the face of travel, already a dynamic, fragmented industry.

Explore Roussillon Wines
