Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap is one of the fastest growing cities in the world and it is known to be full of delightful hotels, nightclubs and restaurants.

Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town has always been popular as a travel destination, but it has only recently risen to the very top travel destinations in the world.
