Asia Winners of World Travel Awards 2018 Announced!

And yes, the winners of Asia World Travel Awards are announced! Now you know where to head to if you are looking for...

– Asia's Leading Adventure Tourism Destination – Sri Lanka. We do love Sri Lanka and we've been offering train tickets in Sri Lanka at 12go.asia since July. Sri Lanka managed to overpass other nominees of this caegory which included China, Japan, Nepal, India, Thailand, and Vietnam, each of which, to our mind, is a great adventure destination, too.

– Asia's Leading Beach Destination – the Philippines. Wow! Neither paradise-like islands of Thailand, nor the amazing Indonesian stunner of Bali could overshadow the Philippines. You are still unsure where to go for a beach holiday?

– Asia'a Leading City Break Destination – Hong Kong, China. There were amazingly impressive competitiors in this category – from Singapore and Shanghai to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Ulaanbaatar

– Asia's Leading Dive Destination – Thailand. Finally! Finally Thailand is featured, too – we were slightly worried not to find it among the winners of the previous categories. Other nominees included Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

– Asia's Leading Tourist Attraction – Taj Mahal. Well, nothing to add – it is impressive!
