Reasons to go to Gili Air - Lombok is another leading tourist destination in Indonesia after Bali. It is not surprising that visits to the Thousand Mosques Island are never empty. Generally, people going to Lombok will go to the 3 Gili—small islands, namely Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air (air means water). #Islands #Pantai #Snorkeling #Traveling

“Malaysia is a popular destination for Asian travellers, particularly the capital Kuala Lumpur, the food paradise island of Penang, and Kota Kinabalu, which offers easy access to the jungles and mountains of Borneo. Now a new hotspot is pinging on the radar. Desaru Coast Malaysia, in the state of Johor, boasts 17km (11 miles) of pristine coastline dotted with a quartet of five-star resorts: the Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast, The Westin Desaru Coast Resort, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort and Villas, and the One&Only Resorts Desaru Coast. Time magazine named it one of the World’s Greatest Places of 2021 – but it is not only attracting tourists seeking a luxury escape. Desaru Coast is positioning itself as an events location, having already hosted an Ironman triathlon event and the L’Étape Malaysia by Tour de France, Malaysia’s top amateur cycling race. Exclusive events have also graced its shores, none more impressive than 2023’s Dioriviera, when luxury brand Dior staged a takeover of the luxurious poolside Ember Beach Club that is part of the One&Only. Desaru Coast is learning from the mistakes made by more established destinations in the region that are struggling with environmental degradation, cultural dilution and infrastructure strain caused by overtourism. Thailand hotspots such as Phuket, Pattaya and Krabi, for example, are feeling the strain following a post-pandemic tourism boom. While there is much to love about Malaysia’s new, shiny and much-hyped holiday destination, the big question is: will travellers make the effort to get there? Desaru Coast is an hour away from the nearest airport – Johor Bahru Senai International Airport – and a four-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. Meanwhile, visitors from Singapore – “the gateway market”, Ridzuan says – can catch a new 90-minute direct ferry straight to Desaru Coast. The reward is a crowd-free holiday in an unspoilt paradise – definitely worth the effort.”

Japan, one of the pandemic’s last holdouts, reopened to the world before winter in 2022—just in time for ski season. At long last, winter sports enthusiasts were able to make a return pilgrimage to the country just in time for the first drops of the Japanese powder snow that famously blankets its northern isles. The most famous of these ski destinations, Greater Niseko, saw its real estate market come out of icy stasis. Despite concerns over oversupply, the alpine ski resorts of the Niseko Range, a collection of volcanoes on the island of Hokkaido, are enthralling foreign buyers anew. “In our opinion, the residential segment has already recovered from the pandemic and is doing well,” says Eddie Guillemette, CEO of MnK Resorts & Hospitality and the Chairperson of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Greater Niseko) Judging Panel, a leading resort management and accommodation provider in Hokkaido. “Demand is strong, and supply keeps coming online.” Niseko’s real estate investment prospects are historically wedded to Japan’s tourism industry. As of May, the archipelago has received 8.6 million visits in 2023, according to data from the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO). This eclipses the nearly 246,000 visits recorded for the entirety of 2021. “Japan as a whole has seen an influx from both tourists and real estate investors since the reopening of the borders,” says Guillemette. “There are likely two factors contributing to this. People love visiting Japan and Niseko in particular, and the currency has been at a historically low level, making it cost-effective.” #PGPropertyReport #Japan #RealEstate #PropertyMarket #PropertyInvestment #Tourism https://lnkd.in/gYu5d9zN

TIPS AND TRICKS: SUMMER TICKLING https://lnkd.in/e_hy5Phs Stations are much more than just places where you get on or off the train. They are real melting pots that host thousands of stories. The flow of passengers is the brewery that brings together each one its unique journey. Railway infrastructures still hold great and surprising potential. In them we can live unforgettable experiences. Feeling the summer vibes, we went in search of some remarkable initiatives. Thanks to an outstanding theme, the commercial and touristic reach will be expanded. A strong concept is able to sell itself with less promotional effort. Some unique selling points (USP): * COASTAL TOURISM: Along the old Mediterranean corridor (Portbou-Barcelona-Valencia-Murcia) some beach bars are set up in the stations. Sea and beach lovers can walk from one station to another. On the way, there is the possibility to stop at an intermediate stop. Ideally, the now dismantled route between Salou and Vandellòs via Cambrils would have been the suitable spot for this coastal path. https://lnkd.in/eufTaEWY * RURAL TOURISM: In accordance with the coastal walk, a tour through nature is stipulated. The Swiss panoramic trains of the Grand Tour are an inspiring proposal. The semi-open roofs allow to enjoy more intensely the landscape. The route Aranjuez (Madrid) - Camporrobles (Valencia) also has an astonishing natural beauty. From the surroundings of Cuevas de Velasco (Cuenca) you can discover the exceptional fauna and flora. https://lnkd.in/egYjXbXx *FESTIVAL TOURISM: This practice is already a fact... On February 29th, 2024, the first festival (musical) was organized in a resort. The "Trainfest" may be followed by other similar editions. The festive joy of a well-known event already starts one day in advance. Santander Music could be extended with a previous and/or subsequent festival at the arrival/departure. https://lnkd.in/ePqhfWXP

What actually makes Zanzibar different from other island destinations? 👉 1. The Beaches 🌊🏝️ The beaches in Zanzibar are pretty unrivalled, with white coral sands and seas so blue they look like antifreeze washing on snow. Not to mention all the activities from diving with dolphins to some of the best kitesurfing conditions on the planet. 2. It's a Hidden Gem with Rich Heritage and Culture 🌟🏖️ This African archipelago differentiates itself from many other islands, with less litter than popular destinations like Bali or Thailand. Zanzibar also boasts more culture and history than its Indian Ocean neighbours, with a capital that’s like a mini-Marrakech, rich in heritage and culture. 3. It's known for a Relaxation vibe🍹🌅 Zanzibar just has such a relaxed, low-key, and friendly atmosphere - easy mingling with hangouts where guests chat with each other on tables half-sunk in the sand, chillout lounges and bijou clubs - the vibe is all about “cocktails on the sands” and “sundowners overlooking the ocean.” 4. Authentic, Welcoming and Safe 🛶🌍 You won't find those resident-only resorts, Zanzibar offers a more authentic experience. It’s extremely safe, allowing you to stroll along white coral sands, visit independently owned bars and hotels, and mingle with locals. Tourism hasn't displaced the locals and even in developed villages like Paje, you’ll find boat builders and school kids enjoying a game of sunset 25-a-side on the beach. 5. Diverse Range of Activities & Experiences 🌿🏛️ Tourists can explore maze-like Stone Town, hike through rainforests, and visit crumbling Arab palaces, harems, and slave dungeons. The island’s diverse activities ensure there’s something for every type of traveller. #East #Africa #Beach #Destinations #Zanzibar #Island

Bali’s New International Marina – The First of Its Kind in Indonesia! 🌴 Bali is set to make waves with its first world-class international marina, located at the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub (BMTH) in Benoa.

This development marks a new era for Indonesia's marine tourism, and Bali is ready to become Asia’s top yachting destination! 🌏✨ #BaliMarina #BMTH #YachtingParadise #MarinaDevelopment #BaliTourism #Superyachts #eightinvestmentsbali #eightinsights

In a recurring theme, Japan loves the inbound tourism (rightly so) for the boost to the economy, while local areas like Hakuba are searching for a middle ground that benefits locals as well. It is unfortunate that Niseko seems to be becoming the poster child for over-development, given its extraordinary beauty and the quality of all four seasons. (Niseko's rut?)The developed areas in Niseko that people point to are still small relative to the whole area. Hakuba seems to be taking pro-active steps to promote sustainable development, especially across all seasons which is crucial for the local economy. Myoko and Nozawa onsen are also in this group although these two areas have strong local communities that will probably keep over development in check. Let's hope so. (disclaimer: my go to ski area is Myoko)
