Singapore ... is it just a stopover or standalone holiday?

A vibrant, utterly intoxicating metropolis but one also blessed with lots of eco-friendly open spaces, Singapore is always one of the top destinations to visit for a variety of travellers.

Top recommendations
Singapore is more than just a stopover destination. There is so much to see and do here, it definitely needs to be explored over a few days or even a couple of weeks. To get you started, here are some ideas to help you promote the destination to customers.

Gardens by the Bay
Visit the lush and beautiful Gardens by the Bay, with its two conservatory domes displaying plants from around the world and features a Cloud Forest that contains one of the tallest indoor waterfalls in the world. It's hard to miss the magnificent Supertrees, which stand 50 metres high, and which have a nightly light and sound show, known as the Garden Rhapsody.

Vespa sidecar tour
Whizz around the city on a Vespa sidecar, exploring the local neighbourhoods while seeking out Instagram-worthy photo opportunities at local landmarks and cafes.

Hawker centres
Savour the many flavours of Singapore at a local hawker centre such as Lau Pa Sat , Tekka Centre, and Tiong Bahru Market to enjoy a variety of good food at affordable prices, including favourites such as Hainanese chicken rice, char kway, teow, satay, and much more.

Pulau Ubin
Escape the hustle and bustle and head to the tranquil island of Pulau Ubin, a rustic getaway that is just a 10-minute boat ride away. Here, you can hire a bicycle and admire historic sites, untouched forests, old quarries, and Singapore's last-remaining kampong (traditional village).

Must-visit districts
Explore the colourful districts of Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Gelam, and Katong-Joo Chiat and learn about the people and history of these fascinating cultures that make up Singapore.

Who saw Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby?

You won’t want to miss this episode if Cappadocia is on your travel wish list. This week featured the Argos Hotel, which consists of nine mansions cascading down this hillside along with caves, tunnels, and former monastic sites.

You’ll be inspired by this luxurious hotel, which has been delicately shaped by wind, snow and rain for over thousands of years.

Let me personalise your trip to Cappadocia, fitting your requirements perfectly. I’ll craft an exceptional itinerary for Cappadocia just for you.

It's happy client Thursday and today's feedback is brought to you from Tunisia. I booked my client, a family of 4, a lovely summer holiday to Tunisia. Here's their feedback:

"We had the best holiday in a long time. We highly recommend Tunisia, the people were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were vigilant and highly attentive at all times. The waiters were just amazing and helpful especially when it came to my daughter who doesn’t really eat much. They went above and beyond everyday to keep her happy and fed.

We did all the water sports on hand, including a few trips that were arranged by the hotel. We especially loved the Sahara trip, it was just amazing and an experience we will treasure as a family forever.

We have done everything we wanted and more and have loads of photos to treasure forever.

Thank you so much for all your help, without you I’m not sure we would have found anything quite as fantastic. We will definitely be contacting you for future holidays. You made everything easy and sleek, everything went like clockwork, thanks again."

Often Tunisia is overlooked due to the location and also past events but it's definitely a great option and affordable too!

I went to Tunisia last year and loved it. Beautiful beaches, great food, lots of cats and amazing people. Highly recommend it.

I won!!! Yay!!

I attended a CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) webinar last week and won an amazing prize curtesy of AmaWaterways, a luxury river cruise line company offering scenic riverboat all-inclusive itineraries on European, Asian, African and Colombian rivers. Highly recommended.

I qualified as a CLIA Master back in 2022. This is the highest tier of the CLIA Certification Program. Travel agents who have achieved Masters level are fully engaged in all things cruising, stand out from the crowd, and statistically, are the highest sellers of cruise.

It's happy client Thursday and here's feedback from a honeymoon couple who went to Maldives in a over-water bungalow.

"We can't thank you enough for your super planning and all of your help! From the beginning, it has truly taken a weight off of our shoulders so that we could relax and enjoy each others company. (Even if we did drive through central London and get stopped by a Palestinian protest on the way to Heathrow!).

The hotel/island was incredible and a once in a lifetime opportunity. We snorkelled with sharks on a coral reef edge, sailed with dolphins and ate with the fishes in the underwater restaurant. We met the co-pilot and cabin crew for the flight home (on the dancefloor) and they remembered us on the flight and we received free fizz! We got to boarding and we luckily got sat together, I really do appreciate all of your help on that one!

I have already recommended you to my mum and will provide your details to anyone else in the future.

Thank you again for checking in on us and for looking after us for a very special trip.

Look forward to booking a trip with you in the future!"

Received this feedback on a Friday afternoon, it totally made my week and a great start to my weekend. So pleased they had such an amazing time.

It's happy client Thursday! Today's feedback was helping a client in an emergency situation when they were left stranded in Torino due to a train being diverted!

"All received, thank you both for the quick help with the emergency, much appreciated. The apartment in Torino is lovely, it's humongous!!"

I'd booked the client a Travel Counsellors package which was ATOL protected as well. The client (a family of 4) spent a few nights in Santa Margherita Ligure then overnight via train to Genoa then were due to take train to Grenoble but unfortunately the train diverted to Torino and no further trains to Grenoble so they called my 24/7 Duty Office on a Sunday afternoon wondering what to do. Duty Office informed me what had happened then set about booking the family an apartment in Turin for the night and then coach tickets the next day from Turin to Grenoble. This was all turned around in a few hours leaving the family to enjoy their unexpected time in Turin.

It pays to book a package and to book with me knowing that I have a Duty Office on hand and ready to assist 24 hours a day!
