Tram Tracks & Tales
The Hari Hong Kong has launched an evening walking tour that gives visitors a closer look at the colourful streets of Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. Starting from 5pm, guests are guided through traditional rituals like “Villain Hitting”, local snack tasting, historic tea shops, and wet markets. You also get to ride a century-old tram and take in views of Hong Kong’s skyline.
Led by @explore_hongkong, the tour tells the area’s rich history and urban transformation, and is a fresh way to discover a district where old meets new.
Thai Milestone
Banyan Tree Samui is celebrating its 15th anniversary as a peaceful hideaway on Koh Samui’s southeastern shore. Over the years, the all-villa resort has not only welcomed guests into its natureconscious luxury, but also supported local schools and funded scholarships. It was the first hotel in Thailand to receive both the EarthCheck Gold and Platinum Certifications for sustainability, thanks to programmes involving marine conservation and also the Seedlings scholarship.

Safe Homes, New Hope
Three families in Thuan Hoa Commune, Vietnam, recently received safe and stable homes thanks to an initiative led by The Anam Mui Ne and The Anam Foundation. The project, which began in March this year, aims to support those struggling with unsafe living conditions. The sturdy new homes have proper sanitation and are designed to give families dignity and security. Beneficiaries included parents with disabilities, farmers and children who previously lived in unsafe shelters.

A Retreat in Crete
Family-owned resort Tella Thera has opened its doors on the rocky, olive-clad hills above Kissamos Bay in northwestern Crete. The all-suite property is built with local materials and blends partially subterranean rooms, each with its own pool and planted rooftop terrace, with biomorphic architecture that follows the land’s curves. A holistic spa, indoor-outdoor gym and a zero-waste restaurant complete the offerings.
Japan Geopark
Walk Japan has introduced two new journeys. The Onsen Gastronomy tour leads travellers for five days through hot springs and local cuisine in the Kiso Valley and Kaida Plateau of Nagano, while the six-day Self-guided Izu Wayfarer tour guides participants along volcanic coastlines and historic towns around the Izu Peninsula UNESCO Geopark.

Spread across twin islands known as Play and Chill, Niyama’s changes reflect a modern, lively spirit while offering more comfort and freedom.
