Is Asia the new top holiday destination this year?
People seem to be getting extremely interested in checking out the Asian Continent for there holidays next year. Tour operators and searches online have reported that tourists are interested in heading to areas like the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Dubai. So why are people looking at these holidays in particular?
It has been argued that Maldives holidays are the new Caribbean holidays. The Maldives consists of around 1200 islands ad islets, and is famous for its calm and temperate atmosphere. The Maldives has a very warm climate, much like the Caribbean, and in most cases has extremely luxurious hotels and resorts. Some of the resorts are of high quality, but so are the ones in St Lucia or Barbados. So why do people really want to come here? The prices for these holidays have now been lowered to attract more customers, and the searches on the internet have shown a dramatic increase in tourists looking for these holidays.
Sri Lanka holidays are for the Back Packer. Although there are some very luxurious resorts here, this is a great place for adventure. Recently search results have shown that Safari searches in Sri Lanka have increased, which is strange because many people believed that Africa was the only place to Safari. Prices are much lower than the Africa Safari. There may not be any lions here, but Sri Lanka isn’t short of wildlife or Fauna, just try one of the safaris.
So why have Dubai holidays started to prosper from an influx of visitors? This is a hard one to understand. The holidays here are arguably the most expensive in the world. Dubai has on many occasions been referred to as the most luxurious place across all of the world. Now although prices have dropped, they havent fallen on a dramatic scale, could this maybe a sign that the recession around the world is starting to fade? We will have to wait until next year and see what happens!
