“Our international audience … is well travelled, knowledgeable, and curious,” Smart Travel Asia said. “What travellers wanted in 2024 can be distilled into one word — experience. Experience is the new luxury that goes beyond the marble and price tag.”
“In the end, these ratings are about how an experience made the traveller ‘feel’. It is all about the emotional takeaways. Hotels and airlines that performed well had a high feel-good factor, much of this based on personal interactions.”
“As surveyed on our free, no-nominations, open-to-all, 2024 Best In Travel Poll (running July, August and September), our readers on average took 16 air trips (up by two) in the past year (with 18% taking 31-40 air trips and 5% over 50 trips). They earned an average US$172,000 per annum (household income; down from $178,000 in 2023) and over 60% visited direct via bookmarks, referrals, or through our monthly e-newsletters.”
Bold, spacious and emblematic of Vietnam’s maturation as a destination, the independently owned and operated luxury resort Alma is making waves in Cam Ranh, a peninsula on Vietnam’s south-central coast that first found fame as Southeast Asia’s greatest deepwater harbor and is now rising as an upscale alternative to nearby Nha Trang.
Alma is home to an awe-inspiring host of world-class facilities, such as an eclectic range of restaurants helmed by leading chefs, a food court with an array of local and international cuisine, a classical bar, pool bar and beach bar, and mini supermarket.
Other drawing cards include a science museum, waterpark with a lazy river, wave pool slides and kids pool, 13-treatment room spa, cinema, convention centre, amphitheatre, youth centre with virtual reality games, kid’s club, gymnasium and yoga room, an 18-hole putting green, onsite gourmet organic farm and more.
