Tourist countries of asia. International tourism in Asia
Asia is islands, temples, a colorful kaleidoscope of exotic fruits, kindly decorated elephants, fussy and smart monkeys, the sea, the sun, palm trees ... In general, Asia is a whole philosophy, time flows smoothly, nothing passes without a trace, everything is reborn and flows over to each other into a friend. Do you want to visit the most beautiful places Asia? Then here are 10 countries, visiting which you will no longer be able to live as before.
1. Thailand
This country has won the laurels of the most popular resort destination for our compatriots. Everything is here: lazy beach vacation, interesting excursions, picturesque nature, a busy nightlife with parties, cocktails and Thai spices (you know what we mean). There are so many resorts that you can go to a new one every year. Pattaya, the islands of Phuket and Samui are larger and Phi Phi, Ko-Mak are smaller, but in general, there is a whole scattering of islands, on each of which you can find whatever you want.
2. Vietnam
Holidays in Vietnam are inexpensive in terms of food, entertainment, etc. That is why European youth love him, because here you can also surf and just relax lazily. The main resorts: Nha Trang, which is popular with active tourists, Phan Thiet, which is quieter, for which couples with children love it, and Phukok, for those who love luxury vacation... From entertainment: excursions to National parks, boat trips to the islands, all sorts of unusual activities for us (like a trip on ostriches), as well as more familiar ones - for example, the Winperl Amusement Park on the island of the same name.
3. Sri Lanka
As many antiquities as there are in the legendary Ceylon, you are unlikely to be able to find anywhere else. Here is the ancient Sigir - majestic mountain decorated with giant statue lion, and Dambulla with the largest collection of Buddha statues, and Kandy - the ancient residence of the rulers, and Anuradhapura with a long history and the sacred Bodhi tree. And this is not the whole list, but we have not yet said a word about the wonderful quiet beaches with red sunsets, against which the silhouettes of local fishermen darken, sitting on special poles right in the sea.
4. China
Relatively recently, we learned that in China, in addition to the Great Wall of china and Pikina have seaside resorts. Meanwhile, the island of Hainan (also called "Eastern Hawaii") is very popular, both among the Chinese themselves and among Russian tourists... Rest here can be called calm. For those who get bored on the beach, we recommend taking a couple of excursions and looking at the life and traditions of local residents - whether the tribes and the Miao, or to heal in the healing springs.
5. India
If you want to visit the sea, then Goa and Kerala are waiting for you. Go- for hanging out in the north and complete relaxation in the south. We can say that this is not even India, but “little Portugal”, everything is quite modern, there is not much local flavor, but there is a special atmosphere brought here by hippies: freedom, parties on the beach and all that. Kerala will appeal to those who want to get acquainted with Ayurveda, there are many centers of Indian medicine and yoga schools. There is also the famous golden triangle "Delhi-Agra-Jaipur", the city of Varanasi, Mumbai and many other cities, which are interesting to travel alone, but not at all safe.
6. Indonesia
In order to understand how you can actually relax on vacation, go to Bali or Java, or Sumatra, in general, to one of beautiful islands Indonesia, where calm and tranquility reigns against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. See temples, play with monkeys. And if you want parties, clubs and entertainment, then, for example, Balinese Kuta is more than enough for you: a whole street of entertainment establishments and several surfing schools fully compensate for your desire to be active.
7. Malaysia
If you are an adherent of beach holidays, then here you can get enough of it: the islands of Penang, Langkawi and Sipadan are simply created in order to enjoy the sea and the sun. And if you want to take a walk in the metropolis, then be sure to visit Kuala Lumpur, where you can visit the Bird Park, the famous Petronas Twin Towers and look into a couple of nightclubs.
8. Singapore
People usually visit Singapore in transit, because for a transit visit to the country (you have as much as 96 hours) you do not need a visa. During this time, you can visit the minimum must see, which is enough to form an opinion about the country. Visit Clar Key Quay in the dark to drown in the lights, look into Botanical Garden and of course, don't forget to take a couple of photos at the legendary rooftop pool at Marina Bay Sands with stunning views.
9.South Korea
This country is gaining more and more popularity among tourists. Getting here gives the impression of a leap into the future: modern architecture Seoul, the availability of Wi-Fi almost everywhere and a lot of newfangled entertainment. But history buffs will also find a lot of interesting things for themselves: royal palaces the Joseon dynasty, temples and fortresses. And here you can improve your health and undergo diagnostics on modern equipment at a relatively inexpensive price.
10. Philippines
A trip to the wonderland, of course, will cost a pretty penny, but it is worth spending money to plunge into ancient Eastern traditions. Visit the healers' ceremony, appreciate the heritage of the Spanish conquistadors, admire the urban beauty of Manila, buy a couple of real pearl necklaces and conquer the Mayon volcano - here is a short list of things you can add your own.

What is interesting about tourism in Asia?
Many committing tourism in Asia, only here they learn that philosophy, writing and the wheel were invented in the East. It was in the east that religions were born and peoples experienced the most different periods of life. Bloodthirsty hordes of nomads, the birth of great civilizations, primitive cruelty and pearls of creativity, the birth of religions and multi-million dollar wars, fertility and devastation. Today there are popular destinations such as: Israel, UAE, Thailand, India, Maldives, Turkey, Oman, Vietnam, South Korea and other countries.
Before heading to the East, we advise you to take care of the availability of a travel guide. In Russia, for example, there is Ural directory, thanks to which you can easily familiarize yourself with the geography of the area. Asia is very diverse in terms of culture and life, although it has common values. Most people prefer a measured lifestyle, so get a map or guide so that you can slowly plan your route on the spot. It is also best to ensure that there is a guide who will tell you Interesting Facts about the life of the country.
Why visit Asia?
First of all, it should be noted that the climate in Asia is very diverse, ranging from severe winters to deserts with unbearable heat. Do you want the sea? Then welcome to Israel or to Persian Gulf in the UAE. If you are not well versed in geography, then you probably did not know that the famous Everest is located in the eastern part of the continent. And Irkutsk is the center of Asia and is proudly called "navel". Also, the East became famous for its spirituality and religion. Difficult to find in European countries people who would treat religion this way. Unfortunately, this often served as a pretext for wars.
Recently, tourism and economy have been actively developing in Asia. India and China are prime examples of this. Thanks to this, modern infrastructure is being built here, hotels and tourist centers. Tours to Turkey for a couple of decades they have been in incredible demand, as they offer cheap vacation, bright sun and lots of entertainment.
