It’s that time of the year again – the sweltering heat and unbearably humidity in the city makes us want to hide in air-conditioned areas and pencil down our travelling plans for the upcoming summer.
Thanks to Blitz Lane Crawford and Luxe Guide Guides, discerning jet-setters are offered a series of exclusive travel experiences, and each of the five unique thematic trips take customers around the world for sumptuous getaways – think fashion in New York, culture in Paris, Wellness in Los Angeles, design in Tokyo and culinary delights in Bangkok.
The two creative forces have collaborated to curate five interests for this project, each of which represent a designated interest that a city is celebrated for. The result is a selection of elite activities for globe-trekkers, featuring luxurious itineraries in top-notch properties such as The Peninsula Hotels, and enjoy sumptuous travel experiences offered by Cathy Pacific Business Class, Swire Travel and Context Travel.
To make sure jet-setters look their best during their journeys abroad, the stylish edit of travel essentials for each theme is also featured in the programme. See our best picks below:
