In this issue

Chase your dream destinations this July with Travel Now’s latest issue! On the cover is Hong Kong, an all-time-favorite among Filipino travelers because of its shopping areas, vibrant nightlife, and delicious food. The destination, along with Seoul, Macau, Shanghai, and Taipei, can be explored and experienced with the help of AirAsia, as not only can the carrier fly you there, but they also offer accommodation, tour, and service discounts to passengers traveling to these destinations. If your travel goals extend beyond Asia, you can prepare for them by reading our features on France, Finland, Ethiopia, and Spain.

If you’re a bit cash-strapped, you’re in luck, as this issue is also chock-full of tips on traveling on a budget. Let the guys behind The Poor Traveler guide you on their favorite destinations—Australia, Italy, Japan, Turkey, and Iceland! We also show you how you can book your entire trip without using a credit card (yes, it’s possible!), affordable alternatives you should consider, and why you shouldn’t even consider begpacking. Finally, this issue also has a guide on affordable travel to places like Bohol, Davao, Palawan, and even Turkey, Rome, and Paris!
