EDITOR’S NOTE
The world’s history has always kept us awed by how much our civilisation has grown over the centuries. What we know now as tourist sites were actually important gateways that served as instrumental structures that boosted a city’s business and trade relations in the ancient times. Stepping onto these places seems like a travel back in time, taking us to significant moments in history. Being there as well make us look at how a city has transformed such an important site into a beautiful sight.
In this new issue of Endless Vacation, we take you to the world’s former ports that are now mesmerising tourists must-visit spots. We also give you places that serve as entryways to nature’s wonders and breathtaking escapes. From Asia to Europe, we give you some of the places that will surely open doors to the world’s stunning locations and magnificent structures.
Step into the old-world and discover contemporary European culture when you visit Amsterdam, which used to be an important trading site for the Dutch. If exploring the Mediterranean is in your next vacation list, the Canary Islands and Málaga, Spain’s colourful port cities, are your access to experiencing nature’s finest and exciting festivals. Intrigued by China’s natural wonders? Enter Guilin, China’s gateway to the best and most unique landscapes. The portal to discovering about the Mayan culture is Cancun, one
of Mexico’s top holiday destinations, where you can also fall in love with exotic cuisine and its vibrant
lifestyle. If relaxing is in your itinerary, Tioman, which was once a busy trading port, is your entryway to revitalising your senses amidst Malaysia’s its tropical allure.
Book your vacation, get ready with your cameras, and prepare to experience the past and the present when you enter these fabulous scenic spots. What you will bring home with you from this experience is truly the wonderful opportunity to look at the world in a different light.
