Our dream travel destinations 2012

Posted by: yourtravelbuddy | Comments (0)

Hi Travel Buddies,

Brought to you by mytravelbuddiesclub.com

We are just into the second week of 2012 and we have read so much about top destinations 2012 from almost every travel authority, starting from Lonely Planet, ST Life Travel and there was a travel article on recommendations on places to travel for the next 12 months on Weekend Today yesterday.

ZUJI Singapore just shared with us the top holiday destinations over the last Christmas season 2011. We thought this travel trend maybe a good reference for all. We are quite surprise to see Laos in the top list. Do you know that this year is Visit Laos Year 2012? Flying there is faster now with the direct flights by Lao Airlines’ new thrice weekly from Singapore to the Capital Vientiane in about 3 hours.

Free flights to Japan next year!

Posted by: yourtravelbuddy | Comments (1)

Hi Travel Buddies,

We are quite excited to hear that Japan is going to offer 10,000 free flights to foreigners to Japan next year!

Most of you are aware that the tourism business in Japan is badly hit ever since the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami happened on Mar 11. So this aggressive move aims to revive the tourism industry.

Subject to government budget approval, The Japan Tourism Agency said the programme can start as early as April 2012. They hope that the selected 10,000 sponsored travellers can share their positive experiences with the rest of the world and thus, bring in more tourists.

How to apply?
