PR Web; March 5 2012
Remote Lands, Inc. remains on the leading edge of the coolest new destinations and experiences in Asia. While luxury travel to China, Japan and Thailand remains perennially popular, a handful of locales are stealing the spotlight for Asia luxury travel. As one of the leading luxury bespoke travel designers in the world, here are our predictions for the hottest Asia travel destinations of 2012.
Himalayan Holiday: Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and India
In 2011 we saw the emergence of the pan-Himalayan holiday as a luxury trip of choice, with significant interest in Nepal and Tibet bolstering an already strong fascination with Bhutan. Savvy travelers headed to the "roof of the world" for trekking, helicoptering and spiritual experiences, while new luxury properties like the St. Regis Lhasa brought further five-star comfort to the region. Looking forward in 2012, Bhutan's new airport in Bumthang is opening up the country's far-flung east like never before, and the Indian Himalayas remain an exhilarating way to cap off such a high-altitude holiday.
