New Scenarios of Cultural-Tourism Integration – Shaoxing Invites Singaporean Tourists to Explore "Jiangnan Life Aesthetics"
From homestays converted from Ming and Qing Dynasty courtyards to morning mist photography at ancient bridges, and from huangjiu (rice wine) feasts to calligraphy gatherings, Shaoxing is developing immersive cultural-tourism scenarios centered on "life aesthetics", becoming a focal destination under the spotlight of Singaporean citizens. According to the recently released <Report on Inbound Tourism Preferences of Southeast Asian Tourists>, Shaoxing ranks among the top three "Most Anticipated Jiangnan Cities". Shaoxing's cultural and tourism sector has accurately aligned with the aesthetic needs of Singaporean tourists, focusing on promoting "slow travel experiences": At the Hometown of the Calligrapher (the former residence of Wang Xizhi), tourists can experience Song Dynasty-style hairpin adornment and calligraphy copying in homestays renovated from Ming and Qing courtyard buildings; during the morning mist at Bazi Bridge, visitors can easily capture the serene scene of ancient bridges wrapped in cooking smoke; restaurants such as Xunbaoji Zhuangyuan Building have launched "Jiangnan Aesthetics Set Meals", which pair local specialties like Shaoxing Sanxian (a stew with three fresh ingredients) and braised pork with preserved vegetables with huangjiu tasting, offering a dual feast for both taste and vision. The 48-hour tour route launched this year perfectly integrates elements of life aesthetics: On the first morning, wander through the Xixiaolu Morning Market and savor sweet fermented glutinous rice wine; in the afternoon, take panoramic photos of Wupeng Boats (traditional covered wooden boats) at Tishan Bridge in the Hometown of the Calligrapher; in the evening, enjoy the immersive live performance at Shen Garden. On the second day, head to Angsang Lake to shoot the "Sky Mirror" scenery, then go to Lanting to experience the "Qushui Liushang" (a time-honored wine-drinking game by a winding stream); before departure, take home a customized cultural and creative folding fan with on-site calligraphy as a souvenir. The route's specially marked photography spots and niche experience sites are particularly popular among photography enthusiasts.

MyMallorcaCharter Releases Top Superyachts to Book Now for 2026 as Demand Surges Across the Balearic Luxury Yacht Charter Market
MyMallorcaCharter , operated by DMA Yachting with brokers based in Mallorca and Ibiza, has reviewed its 2026 charter line-up and identified a handful of yachts they believe deliver real value for luxury yacht charters in Mallorca – across a range of budgets, styles, and guest compositions. As demand rises across Europe, those yachts with solid crew, great layouts, and proven performance are disappearing from availability fast. According to Ibiza-based yacht charter broker Carina Isenberg, “The Balearics have entered a new era – more clients now expect boutique-hotel standard service, itineraries across all the Balearic Islands, and maximum customization. For many, an Ibiza yacht charter is not just a summer holiday, it’s a lifestyle statement.” This shift is reflected in itinerary trends as well. As more superyachts enter the local fleet, routes that once took 3 or 4 weeks on catamarans are now being done in 7-day charters. Clients are asking for 7-day yacht charter itineraries in the Balearic Islands that go beyond the usual stops in southern Mallorca, combining places like Ibiza’s beach clubs with quieter anchorages in northern Mallorca, and even day runs to Formentera or Menorca. It’s a sign of how the region is evolving, and why the right yacht, with the right range and speed, makes all the difference. “It’s our job to help clients match their itinerary ambitions with the right yacht.” Says Mallorca-based yacht charter broker William McNally, “That usually means larger, faster superyachts – where you essentially bring your entire resort with you. The best ones go fast, and bookings for the 2026 season are already well underway.” Below are 6 top superyachts for charter in Mallorca from their 2026 portfolio – each offering a unique yacht charter experience across the Balearic Islands and a strong charter record: ON TIME — 112 ft Sanlorenzo | 5 cabins | 10 guests | from ≈ €120,000/week A 2024 build, ON TIME stands out with a large beach-club deck and fold-down balconies that turn the aft into a floating beach house. The flybridge jacuzzi, open deck plan, and practical 5-cabin layout make her great for groups looking for water-access, casual parties, or family cruising. FIGURATI — 109 ft Riva | 5 cabins | 11 guests | from €135,000/week For a faster, more dynamic charter, FIGURATI is one of the quickest yachts on the roster – topping out around 26 knots. With floor-to-ceiling glass giving sweeping views over the Balearics and a bow jacuzzi for relaxing after a fast cruise, she works especially well for guests wanting to hop between islands or cover a lot of ground in a short itinerary. LADY TRUDY — 139 ft CRN | 5 cabins | 11 guests | from €160,000/week LADY TRUDY brings space and calm. With a full-beam master suite, multiple VIP cabins, relaxed interior styling, and a crew with a track record of highly successful charters, she’s a solid pick for families, mixed-age groups or anyone looking for a stable, laid-back cruise across Mallorca, Menorca or Ibiza. RED DRAGON — 168 ft Dubois sailing yacht | 5 cabins | 10 guests | from €230,000/week A different pace entirely: RED DRAGON is a luxury sailing yacht that offers a more classic Mallorca yacht charter experience, but with modern systems and comfort. Re-fitted in 2022, she brings big deck space, a traditional sailing atmosphere, and all the toys needed for water fun. Ideal for guests who prefer a quieter cruising rhythm, wind in the sails, and maritime style over speed. MOKA — 164 ft Sanlorenzo | 5 cabins | 10 guests | from €190,000/week MOKA* is built for water-lover holidays: her aft-deck “beach club” deck, direct water access, and lifestyle-oriented layout make her a strong option if their priority is swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Comfortable cabins, generous deck space, and a crew used to Balearic routes — good for relaxed, indulgent cruising or a chilled party vibe. For anyone looking to charter a luxury yacht in Mallorca next summer, now is the time to start the planning – the best boats won’t wait.

Travel Specialists at the Baltic Travel Company Highlight Tours to See the Newest UNESCO World Heritage Site
Møns Klint, the spectacular natural feature on the Danish island of Møn, is one of the most recent additions to the UNESCO-recognised list of heritage sites, with experts in Nordic travel at the Baltic Travel Company offering several holiday packages with ample time to see the towering chalk cliffs in person. Ideal for hiking, bird watching, and photography, the cliffs date back 70 million years but have been a little-known wonder until now, with visitors seeking ways to travel to the island to see the ancient landscape and the fossil-strewn beaches below. UNESCO Grants World Heritage Status to Møns Klint Added to the UNESCO list this year, Møns Klint achieved recognition as one of the most complete and accessible examples of a landscape shaped by ice-age glaciers in the distant past, with the white chalk edges formed when glaciers exerted enormous pressure, bending and folding the chalk and sediment. This has left a dramatic landscape, with the cliffs soaring more than 100 metres into the sky and ongoing erosion that means locals and lucky visitors often find fossils embedded in the chalk and scattered across the surrounding beaches. As a habitat on Møn Island, which was already a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the cliffs are home to unique plants, grasses, and no fewer than 18 types of orchids, along with the Large Blue butterfly, an endangered and protected species. While there have been significant increases in interest following the announcement, Møns Klint has long been a hidden gem for bird watchers and conservation enthusiasts, with opportunities to see buzzards, hawks, geese, swans, and wading birds nesting, migrating, and feeding around the cliffs. The surrounding coastline and sea are just as beautiful, with the water having a distinct green/blue colour, caused by the dynamic erosion of the chalk, and stretches of incredible island beech forests, where trees thrive in the mineral-rich soil. Guidance on Accessing Møns Klint for First-Time Travellers Managing Director, Birthe Nielsen from the Baltic Travel Company says, ‘ Møns Klint, and Møn Island are fascinating places to experience the raw, untouched beauty of these ancient landscapes, with options to hike up the hills to see a phenomenal view from the top or join a boat tour for an alternative perspective, and the island is just two hours from Copenhagen. Around 250,000 visitors head to the cliffs each year. Still, we've seen enormous upticks in visitors enquiring about how to build this into their itineraries or seeking advice on the best and easiest ways to organise transport connections. While a lot may depend on the free time you have in your schedule and the time of year you're travelling, we can recommend low-cost train and bus services, or pre-planned driving routes, if you're heading to Denmark on a fly-drive road trip! There are several bridges that take you straight to Møn Island, including the main Queen Alexandrine bridge that connects Møn with Zealand. The crossing over the Ulv Sund is itself a wonderful way to soak in the fresh air and panoramic views. It’s been wonderful to see Møns Klint recognised by UNESCO, but there are plenty of other things to do and see on this remarkable island, with an interactive GeoCenter and astonishing stargazing. The island is one of the first Dark Sky Parks in Scandinavia, owing to the lack of light pollution, which means you can spend an evening seeing the Milky Way in startling clarity. Another highlight is the nearby, car-free Nyord nature reserve, with its tiny village, Nyord Sogn, and narrow, winding streets, and the charming Noorbohandelen speciality shop which stocks local delicacies and fine spirits such as homemade spelt bread, whiskeys, oils, and mustards .’ Baltic Travel Company Packages With Options to Visit Møns Klint The independent travel firm offers both pre-configured packages with detailed itineraries and the option to design tailor-made travel experiences or customised holidays that include specific destinations and activities guests would like to try, ensuring there are varied options for those who’d love to see Møns Klint in person. Available packages include the Scandinavian Capitals Fly-Drive break, a 10-day holiday with two full days in Copenhagen, with ample scope to organise a half or full-day trip to Møn. Another option is the Denmark and Norway Combo Fly-Drive escape, where guests spend just under two weeks seeing the most beautiful cities and landscapes in the Nordics and can add a stop-off at Møn during their initial two days in Copenhagen. Further information about these packages and other ways to visit Møns Klint is available by contacting the Baltic Travel Company directly.

For the first time, Tasmanians will have a direct link into the heart of our region, opening the door to everything we have to offer. “This seasonal service will bring more visitors to our restaurants, wineries, beaches and events, supporting local businesses and creating jobs right across the Hunter. There’s no better time to swap a Tasmanian Tempranillo for a Hunter Region Riesling than this summer. “Through the Aviation Attraction Fund we’re connecting communities, boosting tourism and building a stronger regional economy.” Matt Cocker, COO of Hobart Airport: “The new direct flight to Newcastle unlocks the largest population area in Australia that we weren’t flying directly to previously. “Travellers can save time and money by flying direct between Hobart and Newcastle, rather than via Sydney, and that’s going to really appeal to a lot of holiday-makers.” Steve Farquer, Director of Access and Aviation, Tourism Tasmania: "On behalf of Tourism Tasmania, we are ready and excited to welcome travellers to Come Down For Air on this direct route into Hobart. "From epic wilderness walks, pristine beaches, and iconic museums, to some of the world’s best vineyards and distilleries, Tasmania offers drawcard experiences unlike anywhere else."
