Travelling to different parts of the world is all about discovering new things and learning about new ways of life, culture and the people living there, among much more. There has been a growing interest among travellers who are looking to get away from travelling to places that are deemed somewhat overly touristy and more ‘commercial’ to areas that can teach people more about new ways of thinking. One of the most unique ways of finding your next holiday destination has been through that of reaching out to parts of the world that are more well known for their trade and for being popular with freight forwarders as oppose to famous for holidays. Here are some of those destinations…
Singapore
Singapore is located off the coast of Malaysia and is a booming global centre for finance and trade. Alongside its economic premise, it also boasts a fantastic climate and a highly multicultural population. Singapore is well worth a visit as it is both vast and intimate. There are plenty of different tourist attractions that are sure to keep you and your family entertained no matter when you choose to go.
Netherlands
There is so much more to the Netherlands than it being a popular place to trade or visit Amsterdam! Alongside being home to some of the most historical stories and buildings in Europe, it is also full of fantastic beaches and other wonderful wildlife opportunities that few people take advantage of! Everyone here is also very skilled at speaking English, which means there are virtually no language barriers either.
Hong Kong
There is no wonder that Hong Kong is so synonymous with trade seeing as it’s known to be a shopper’s paradise. Here you will also find a complex blend of a vibrant cosmopolitan lifestyle and more cultures than you can shake a stick at. There is a fascinating blend of the countries colonial past mixed in with British values and Chinese traditions.
Finland
It’s true that Finland is often overlooked by people are more drawn to its neighbouring countries such as Norway and Sweden for one reason or another, but it has to be said that there is plenty on offer here. With the country being divided into four main regions, it is easy to see why people say there is more to see here than what might initially meet the eye. The Finnish way of life is known for being relaxing and inspiring, so be sure to get a taste of that while you are here.
Luxembourg
Bordered by Germany, France and Belgium, the teeny country of Luxembourg can be found right in the heart of Europe. Size does not determine everything about a place, which is why it’s important that this little segment of Europe gets a little more attention than it currently receives. From the old town to the modern sector, be sure to get your walking shoes and explore the city at your own pace to really soak up the sights.
