Rockhampton

Rockhampton is known by many as the unofficial capital of Central Queensland and as the official beef capital of Australia, with three million head of cattle calling the region home. With its historic buildings and tree-lined streets facing the Fitzroy River, Rockhampton is a great place to visit. Its location on the Tropic of Capricorn gives the city over 300 days of sunshine a year. Enjoy the beaches of the Capricorn Coast, or explore the region’s national parks and caves.

As the birthplace of America, Philadelphia has endured centuries of hardship, obstacles, and triumphs, and remains a top tourist destination in the U.S. Historical buildings, sculptures, and murals line streets that were once walked by the Founding Fathers. While the weather fluctuates between mild springs, hot summers, and chilly winters, the people of Philly can always be seen out and about in the City of Brotherly Love.

Montgomery, Texas

The Lone Star Flag of Texas is one of the most recognizable state symbols in the United States. Now, travelers have the chance to explore its birthplace, Montgomery, Texas.

Lake Conroe serves as the town's central attraction, offering visitors opportunities for year-round boating, fishing, swimming, and other water-based activities.

Big Island, Hawaii

The Island of Hawaii is known colloquially as the Big Island — a fitting nickname for an island twice the combined size of its neighboring counterparts! Big Island flaunts its colors like the plumes of a peacock: fierce reds of magma from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park contrast spectacularly with the bright white snow of Maunakea, while the electric black sands of Punaluu Beach stream into the emerald green of the Hamakua Coast’s rainforests.

Byron Bay

From World Heritage rainforest to sparkling beaches, the Byron Bay region on the NSW North Coast is full of natural wonders. The Aboriginal Arakwal people call it Cavvanbah — The Meeting Place.

Byron Bay's natural attractions are impeccable: humpback whales cruise past the headland, dolphins frolic in the bay and storms create rainbows on the mountains. People from all walks of life meet here, drawn by Byron Bay's vibrant energy.

Crete

Crete, the largest of Greek islands, is a place where myth meets history, where the age-old Cretan culture teems in modern villas, where the sea meets the mountains, and unspoiled nature coexists with modern tourist infrastructure.
