Most travellers treat Macau like an extra stamp in the passport.

Richard Willis, our DTH Expert in Hong Kong and a lifelong local, has one piece of advice: 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴. 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴.

⚡ 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴 is all momentum. Start at the West Kowloon Cultural District, where the M+ Museum and Hong Kong Palace Museum reveal a side of the city many travelers never expect.

🍷 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗮𝘂 knows how to slow things down. Wander its UNESCO-listed streets, linger over Portuguese flavours, and enjoy the rare feeling of not needing to check your watch.

The magic isn’t squeezing both destinations into your itinerary. It’s knowing how to let each one shine. That’s what local expertise brings to the table.

Our journeys aren’t pieced together from “Top 10 Things to Do” lists. They’re designed by experts like Richard, who’ve spent a lifetime living the destination — so you experience the places locals love, at the pace that lets you truly get to know the destinations’ personalities.

Our next 𝗗𝗧𝗛 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗱 series talks about how the Maldives is famous for its “one island, one resort” concept,

But… 🇲🇻 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩?

After curating countless tailor-made Maldivian itineraries for independent travellers, our DTH Maldives Expert 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗞𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴 has learned one thing: the most memorable experiences often begin beyond the resort. Here are three she’d never skip:

🌿 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻’𝗱𝘂 on Laamu Gan — a mangrove pool so deep that, despite numerous diving attempts, no one has reached the bottom. Equal parts nature and mystery.

🎨 Swap your beach towel for a paintbrush and try 𝗟𝗶𝘆𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗮 𝗝𝗲𝗵𝘂𝗻, the traditional Maldivian lacquer art that’s been passed down through generations—because the best souvenir is often the one you learn to make.

🚴 Burn off the resort buffet with a 𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟴.𝟱 𝗸𝗺 𝗟𝗮𝗮𝗺𝘂 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱, where island-hopping comes with uninterrupted ocean views instead of traffic jams.

Turns out, the Maldives isn’t just about doing nothing. Sometimes, it’s about discovering everything else.

Years after pioneering journeys to the iconic 𝗟𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗸 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲, they went looking for a different chapter of Iban culture. That’s how they found 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗲.

Yes, you’ll be welcomed the Iban way — with a sip of 𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘬 🍶 (traditional rice wine) and the vibrant Ngajat warrior dance. But the real experience begins after the welcome:

Most importantly, you’ll discover that self-sufficiency isn’t a sustainability slogan, it can be simply everyday life. 🌏

Somewhere along the way, sustainable travel got a bit of a PR problem.

People think it means fewer destinations, fewer comforts… and somehow, more sacrifices. Let’s fix that.

Sustainable travel isn’t about doing less. It’s about travelling smarter and making better choices along the way.

As a 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿, our Laos specialists have gathered practical tips to help travellers experience more while giving back more — reflecting our commitment to responsible travel that supports local communities, protects cultural heritage, and helps preserve Laos for future explorers.

Welcome to what we believe could become one of Asia’s next bucket-list experiences: Dark Sky Tourism. 🌌

As more travellers seek quieter escapes and meaningful moments away from city lights, China’s vast western landscapes are revealing something remarkable — not just spectacular destinations, but some of the clearest night skies on Earth.

For our China Managing Director, 𝗙𝗮𝗻 𝗭𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴, this journey feels especially personal. Having grown up in Xi’an — the historic gateway to Western China — he has long been inspired by the region’s vast landscapes and rich cultural heritage. His latest journey took him deeper into the west to uncover where travellers can experience China’s most spectacular night skies.

First of all… he’d probably ask for another week. 😅

With more than 7,000 islands, asking someone to pick one perfect day is a little impossible. But we asked anyway.

As the Philippines’ General Manager, he has spent years discovering that the country’s best experiences aren’t about how many places you explore — they’re about how deeply you experience them. So instead of trying to squeeze three islands into one day, he’d slow things down.
