Introduction
From the ancient realms of India and China to Australia and the paradise islands of the
Pacific, this vast region encompasses a greater variety of lands and peoples than perhaps
anywhere else on earth.
Visit remote mountains and jungles, magnificent beaches and coral reefs, vibrant modern cities and some of the most famous monuments in the world - the legacy of an incredibly rich and colourful history.
You can go bungee-jumping in New Zealand, dive off the Great Barrier Reef, climb a live volcano in Java, blush at the erotic carvings at Angkor Wat or Khajuraho, take in an opera at Sydney, or sip a gin sling in the Raffles Hotel in Singapore.
All this coupled with the rapidly developing tourist infrastructure makes the Asia/Pacific region a favourite destination for both gap-year adventurers and luxury resort holidaymakers alike.
