Asia Transpacific Journeys - ATJ

Happy World Tourism Day!
Travel changes us. Every trip leaves something behind. A new way of seeing. A slower pace. A softer edge. On World Tourism Day, we're grateful for the travelers who've trusted us to shape those changes.

Mid-Autumn Festival. Under the same full moon tonight, families across China, Vietnam, and Korea are gathering with their own traditions: mooncakes and lanterns in China, star lanterns and lion dances for the children in Vietnam, songpyeon and ancestral rites during Korea's Chuseok. Different customs, same reason. One of the most beautiful traditions you can walk into as a traveler.

Peace begins within.

On the International Day of Peace, we're thinking about how travel, at its best, slows you down. A little more listening, a little less rushing. Some of the most powerful trips are the ones that leave you quieter than they found you.

Fifty years ago today, Papua New Guinea claimed its independence.

A place of profound cultural richness, dramatic highlands, and traditions traced back thousands of years. If you've been waiting for the right time to see it, this is a good one.

You've earned this. Whatever "escape" actually looks like for you: a hammock, a highland, a mountain kingdom. Enjoy your day!

Some evenings feel borrowed from another century. Gyeongju asks only that you slow down,
stay a little longer, and let the light do the rest. Imagine the kind of trip you don't want to end.
