talking shop DESTINATION DIALOGUE: FAR EAST GUIDE LAUNCH PARTY
CAROL SMITH Co-Operative Personal Travel Advisor “I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a few places in the Far East. My most memorable Far East destination has to be Borneo and the amazing Shangri La Rasa Ria – gorgeous scenery and serene and welcoming people. It was lovely to be reminded of this at the Far East party.”
“The Far East Guide is concise and visual; I love
how it summarises each country”

"Macau's Portuguese and Chinese heritage make it stand in the Far East, as does its UNESCO-listed historic centre, world class food and the range of attractions. Here you can go from the world’s highest bungy jump to the giant panda pavilion."
Sue Whitehead, Macau Govt. T.O.
"Shangri-La Singapore opened in 1971 as the brand's fi rst deluxe hotel. Today, with its newly renovated Garden Wing, it's still a refreshing resort experience in the heart of cosmopolitan Singapore, with 15 acres of landscaped gardens. Or try Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort, Borneo, Malaysia, a top seller in the UK, with its unique Orangutan Education Centre." Karen Davidson, Shangri-La
