In Sri Lanka, it is featuring two five-star hotels – Vivanta by Taj Bentota and The Fortress.
Located on a south west coast, The Vivanta by Taj Bentota has fine dining restaurants, a spa and excursions, including whale watching, elephant trekking and river cruises.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong and Singapore also feature for the first time and are being marketed as add-ons to a Thailand beach holiday or stopovers for Bali.
Singapore hotels include the Shangri-La and the iconic Raffles Hotel Singapore.
In Hong Kong Sovereign is featuring the five-star Park Lane Hong Kong, A Pullman Hotel, in Causeway Bay, and The Harbour Grand Kowloon.
