More and more people are tempted each year to go to an Asian beach resort. That's no wonder really. There are a handful of very appealing destinations in Asia, from the clear waters in Thailand to the beach resorts in Philippine.

They offer a variety of services that have increased in quality due to the fact that tourism is an important source of income for many of those countries. For example, in many of those beach resorts, diving enthusiasts can practice their favorite sport in crystal waters teeming with colorful fish. It sounds like a description of heaven itself, but this isn't far fetched at all.

Researching Asia to get the most out of your Trip

There is so much to discover in Asia that it's important to plan your trip well in advance of your departure.  Not only will this allow you to fit in as much as possible, but also time your visit for good weather!  Start by looking on the internet to get an idea of exactly where you want to go and just how long you will be able to stay.  There is a lot to see and do, so it's not uncommon for people to visit Asia numerous times and still not see the continent in its entirety.

Countries that make up Asia

Asia is in fact a continent that holds 53 countries, all of which offer a diverse and unique experience.  When people talk of Asia, they will often be referring to these countries:

• China – famous for the Yangzi River, Beijing and Shanghai and of course the Great Wall of China!

• Cambodia – well known for Phnom Penh (the country's capital city), the Mekong River and Angkor Wat

• Thailand – renowned for its beautiful beaches, great shopping and relaxed atmosphere

• Indonesia – home to Bali, which is a very popular destination as it is affordable, relaxing and offers a raft of activities for people of all ages

You may not have realised that there are some countries that are a part of Asia that are rarely recognised:

• The Russian Federation – a part of northern Asia

• India – a part of south-central Asia

• Armenia, Iraq and Georgia – all part of western Asia and the Middle East

Travel insurance is essential in Asia

Many parts of Asia are considered third world, so hygiene, medical treatment and supplies are often limited, especially for tourists.  Therefore, if you are booking a vacation to Asia, it is essential that you purchase comprehensive travel insurance before you leave.

Accommodation in Asia

There is an incredible array of accommodation options when visiting Asia.  Each country within Asia will offer a range of resorts, hotels, hostels, villas and lodges which all start at basic and end with pure extravagance!

Asia is an incredibly breathtaking part of the world and should not be missed.  It is a very affordable continent to travel in and really does have an almost unlimited amount of activities and sights to see.
