Dear Fellow Travellers,
Did you know there are forty million plus, yes that's 40,000,000 available airline seats a year out of Hong Kong? So whether you are coming or going that makes for one small indication that travel is no small business in Hong Kong, and tourism which fuels part of this movement is on the rise. At Sports+Travel we play our part by igniting that little spark in you to get you packing and traveling getting you out there to discover new places that you may not have considered or return to old haunts that bring back pleasant memories.
Our Journeys issue covers a wide spectrum of travel, ranging from classic itineraries to new travel darlings, whether its an epic expedition cruise or hiking well-trodden trails.
We start you off with a big chill - ship-based exploratory tourism in the Arctic and Antarctica. Oceanwide Expeditions team promises you an experience of a lifetime with their portfolio of unique polar expedition cruise programs. From there we crisscross continents taking you as far South as Patagonia to visit its glaciers and in between to destinations
like Brunei, Fiji, Norway, Tibet, Philippines, Mekong, Kenya, Rwanda & California.
Those who love river journeys should not miss the Mekong - meandering its length (by kayak or boat) gives you a snapshot of the diversity that lies along its shores. Then theres the incredible landscape that ranges from tablelands drizzled by waterfalls to waterways dotted with islands and sunken forests.
If some of the above destinations arent enough for you, weve also compiled a list of Journeys of a Lifetime that roughly outlines some of the most amazing journeys and trips to be had around the world. And while youre having fun don't forget to look around you and enjoy the scenery - it is this ever-changing landscape that makes your travel all the more worthwhile.
Safe travels,
Jim Mayer - Oceanwide Expeditions
