Asia’s Best All-In-One Destination

Winner: Tokyo

With a strong regard for tradition and cultural heritage, Tokyo also leads the way in technology, design and fashion. The city boasts world-class architecture and fabulous food, with plenty to satisfy the most curious of minds.

‘Tokyo really does have it all. Enough food that you can never get enough, amazing (and often one-of-a-kind) culture and nightlife, and the knowledge that there is always something more to see, someone else to meet.’ –Adam White, group editor of Cathay’s inflight magazines, and part of our panel of travel experts

Singapore

Luxury offerings and local experiences, bright city lights and serene green parks, heritage and modernity – Singapore is a city of contrasts that will appeal to visitors of all inclinations.
