Discover south-east Asia with a cruise along the mighty Mekong
I’m not afraid to admit that I was secretly avoiding cruises. I swerve crowds when I travel and I cringe at the mention of organised fun, so the thought of being herded onto a ship with rowdy strangers for a week was a far cry from my idea of a relaxing break. That said, I’ll try most things once. Heritage Line’s uniquely authentic lower Mekong River cruise along the untouched riverbanks of Vietnam and Cambodia (two countries I had yet to visit) sounded like the most appealing cruise option I’d

Marriott has room to grow in Asia outside of China: Analyst
Global hotel chain Marriott International (MAR) cut its full-year outlook in connection to declining revenue in the Chinese market. Marriott just missed estimates on its top and bottom lines, posting $6.25 billion in revenue and adjusted earnings per share of $2.26. "You're seeing groups [bookings] still perform very strongly, business transient remaining solid. But it's really the higher end leisure that has become a problem," Jefferies managing director David Katz says. "Outbound travel versus inbound is still out of balance. Weather is still weighing on some travel and has impacted, and, frankly, we're seeing room rates and that consumer just start to push back on the level of cost for high-end leisure travel." Katz tells Yahoo Finance that consumers are also "[pushing] back on how much higher they are willing to pay" even for domestic US travelers, subsequently spreading "across different markets in different ways." He sees there is still room for Marriott to grow in Asia-Pacific non-China markets.
