“These are the places where you'll find sweeping stretches of coastline, historical monuments, kitsch cocktail bars and more street art than you can possibly imagine,” said Sarah Clayton-Lea, Big 7 Travel’s head of content, in a statement as quoted by The Jakarta Post.

Singapore was described as “a serious hub for travel in Asia” with “colourful buildings, futuristic bridges, and ‘a cloud forest’”, while Bali was described as “paradise” with white sandy beaches, waterfalls, cute swings and floating breakfast.
