Destination Header - Asia
Greetings!

There's something about the rich, warm colours of fall leaves that conjures up the spicy fragrances and bright silks of Asia.

So, it's perhaps no surprise that Asia should be the destination of our travel dreams this month.

This month, Kyla shares our Top 5 Picks for Asian Destinations, and we feature some truly spectacular affiliates to stir your own travel musings.

We would also like to introduce you to our new member and Club Spokesperson, Kelly Hrudey (former NHLer and CBC Hockey Commentator).

You've likely noticed that this September newsletter is reaching you a bit late, and please accept our apologies for that, but this is definitely an issue not to be missed.

Cheers!

From the highest mountain range in the world, to rainforests, beautiful beaches, deserts, and bustling cities, Asia truly has it all. Comprised of 52 countries, deciding which countries to visit on your Asian tour has the potential to be a tad overwhelming. In an effort to help you narrow the possibilities, we've put together a list of The Discovery Club's Top 5 Travel Destinations in Asia...

Our Recommendation
By Therese Eley, Director of Member Services
 
Mandarin Oriental Chiang Mai Thailand

With such a vast and fascinating landscape of travel opportunities available in Asia, I found it impossible to limit our recommendation to only one hotel, so I have expanded our recommendations to a glittering example in each of the five countries Kyla featured in her article.

These are truly some of the most stunning hotels in our collection, and indeed the world... they are each worth taking the time to dream about, believe me!
