Recently, I was  fortunate enough to be invited on a familiarisation trip to Club Med, Bintan Island – hosted by Club Med, Singapore Airlines and Fusion Marketing. Bintan Island is in Indonesia, but located only a 1hr ferry ride from Singapore.

If you haven’t experienced a Club Med holiday or conference, then I highly recommend you look into one of the many properties throughout Asia, Europe,  the Indian Ocean or the Japanese Ski fields for your next destination. The properties rang from 3 Trident to 5 Trident (the equivalent of a star rating), and can accommodate any budget.

I recently travelled to Egypt via Seoul in Korea.

Egypt is a fantastic destination with so much to see and experience. With only 7 days we managed to work an amazing itinerary to see some amazing places in this incredible country. We started in Cairo which takes you back in time to the 4000 year old Pyramids and Sphinx, a perfect destination for special interest or educational groups wanting to relate their group travel to history or geography. A visit to the massive Egyptian Museum will keep you entertained all day, especially the mummy room!

We then headed down to Luxor and the River Nile….
