Choosing an Asian Travel Destination

Choosing an Asian Travel Destination

Choosing a destination point in Asia for your next vacation means choosing between the following locations: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Cyprus, East Timor, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Yemen. Russia and Turkey are part of Europe and Asia, by the way.

How to choose the right destination spot is the focus of this article.

Where To Begin

There are really so many options here that you must narrow it down quickly or get overwhelmed. Exclude those countries that are at war or have a high level of violence associated with them at the moment. Then, break down the possibilities according to what interests you most. Is it religion, cuisine, architecture, art, crafts, natural phenomenon, history, a particular event, or even a particular animal? Choose a category or come up with your own and then consider further breaking down the chosen category.

Building On An Idea

For instance, an interest in the religions found in Asia could center around Hinduism and a trip focused on visiting the various areas where Hinduism is concentrated. Building on this idea add the category of architecture. Now you can locate and visit the Hindu temples in the regions you have identified. Further add the crafts that are associated with the Hindu religion and you now have something to collect on your trip.

Lets try another one. Start with cuisine. Maybe you love hot, spicy food. What makes food hot and spicy? What if your whole trip centered around chili? Discover which country has the kind of spicy food you love best and not only eat your way through the trip but visit the farms and people where these chili’s are grown and harvested. Build this trip further by learning about the history of the plant and discover whether there are particular tribes, a person or a location connected to the cuisine and worth adding to your trip.

Triggering The Travel Bug

In taking the first steps to plan a trip, you may stumble upon a new idea or path to follow. If a topic tugs at your interest, read up on it and see where it takes you.

Another way to choose an Asian destination is to plan a trip based on a favorite region. Even a trip like this can be overwhelming to plan due to the vast landscape of Asia. Again, break it down once you have chosen a region. What is it about the region that draws you in?

Plan your daily activities around a city, a district, or an idea. What if you were to follow in the footsteps of Genghis Khan? What if you have family history in Asia?

One visit is not enough when visiting Asia because its vastness and variety do not fall under one category. Each country, each city, each street corner is filled with something worth traveling to see. Be prepared to return again and again.

There are so many good travel destinations "perfect vacations" they can't be listed. It all depends on what you feel like doing at the point in your life that you'll be taking that vacation. It's fun to read about a place that gets your imagination fired up, then dream about it and make plans, then finally get there. Perfect vacations and travel are fun and relaxing and exciting and a great education all rolled into one.

Ask the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce.
Try some travel magazines: Conde Nast Traveler; cntraveler.com.
Budget Travel : Letters@BudgetTravelOnline.com
USAToday paper had an article on American Travel and Lonely Planet web site also.
China seems to be very high with Hawaii second or third.

August is a tough month to travel to the caribbean.. you know it is hurrican season, right (and incredibly hot & sticky)? But, if I had to pick, I would go to Aruba. Yeah, it will cost a little more than some of the other islands but this is one island outside of the hurricane belt & it is a little cooler because it is windy. I know it recently got some bad press, but to be honest, I think it is safer than a lot of other places like Jamaica & the Bahamas.


Nice work, you did pretty good.


We rented a house on the Osa last year with my 2 girls and it was amazing. Try Lapa Rios or Bosque del Cabo. There are incredible places there and your little ones will love the monkeys, macaws, butterflies & beaches. It is very safe and clean. You do need to watch for scorpions & snakes but a little common sense will suffice.

Portland Oregon is great, city, but still down to earth…Great Coffee, and beautiful, and artsy (try Saturday Market during the summer)

Savannah Georgia is a beautiful coast, old south, beautiful town…Love the accents and the trees with moss hanging off them.

The Olympic National Forest in Washington State is beautiful, lots of beautiful mountains and beaches right next to each other. Rainforest and hot springs even!

San Francisco is gorgeous and really fun with the trolley and great seafood!

New York city, is of course great – a cross-cultural/foreign experience without ever going overseas!

Crater Lake Oregon is breathtaking and amazing! A crystal clear blue lake in the middle of a volcanic crater. Quiet, peaceful and inspiring!
