Asia – Global Leaders of The Cement Industry

Asia is home to the most production and consumption of concrete in the world. In fact, Asia accounts for 73% of global concrete production and 81% of the world’s concrete consumption. Countries like China, Vietnam, India and Indonesia are the largest cement producers in the world followed by Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia. With concrete being the most consumed substance in the world next to water it means that the world greatly relies on Asia for cement production. To help offset concrete production Asia has a close relationship with Mexico, the United States and Brazil with large cement manufacturing done in all three. However, Vietnam still exports the most cement globally with an export value reported to be 1.4 billion, making up 12.5% of the world’s global cement export.

The World Of Concrete Asia

With such big ties to the cement industry Asia is home to the yearly World of Concrete convention. Held in Shanghai at the Shanghai New International Exposition Center, it showcases the latest technology and exhibits related to general concrete, concrete surfaces, mortar & masonry, and even non-concrete flooring. Attended by thousands of people from all over the world, concrete-related business owners like Dave, a Phoenix interior concrete flooring and concrete coating expert. These business owners come to learn new techniques and the latest innovations in the concrete industry. This in turn creates a great increase in tourist related revenue for the country helping to keep it prosperous for those that live within Shanghai and surrounding communities.

The “New Great Wall”

One great concrete attraction that draws many visitors is the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. It is considered the largest concrete project in the world and is often referred to as the “New Great Wall” referencing the Great Wall of China. It is made up of 27.2 cubic meters of concrete and has the world’s largest hydroelectric station in terms of capacity. While many visitors come to see the dam there is also controversy behind it. 100 workers died while helping to construct the wall and 1.4 million people were displaced and had to find new homes because of the construction. Still archaeological and cultural sites were flooded as a result too. While the dam is a concrete masterpiece with more than 20 million people visiting it, its construction didn’t come without sacrifice.

Whether you are looking to attend The World of Concrete Asia or simply want a reason to visit Asia we highly suggest you make those travel plans. There is so much culture, great sites to see and delicious cuisine to try.

Choosing The Right Tour Guide Abroad

When it comes to enjoying a tour when traveling abroad it is a good idea to research the tour company and check out the safety ratings. Taking a guided tour when traveling to one of the many incredible cities in Asia is a great way to immerse yourself in the city and see what is off the beaten path. It is also a great way to link up with other travelers and see some of the local sites.

Best Ways To Find The Perfect Tour Guide Company

Professional Company

First and foremost the tour company you seek out while in Asia should be knowledgeable and local and understand the different safety measures and precautions needed to be taken while on the tour. It is also important that your tour group and guide stand out among the rest to ensure you are always not the right group to stay with. Some of the higher-end tour groups in Asia have their tour vehicles wrapped with a vinyl car wrap. This helps the vehicles to stand out amongst any other tour groups etc. With verdant jungles, incredible beaches, and historic temples to be seen it is important you stay with your guide to ensure your safety and well-being.

Local Guides

Local guides or long-time residents of the area who are knowledgeable, know the local language, have travel experience, and know life-saving techniques are the best tour guides to work with. Trusting in a guide who really knows the lay of the land and the different things about the area and its people will help to ensure you not only have an amazing tour but it will also ensure your safety.

Communication

While it is incredibly beneficial and actually important that you have a tour guide that speaks the local language it is also imperative that the guide can also communicate with the travelers in the group. Again this is not only important for safety purposes but of course so that you may understand the tour and what is being communicated.

Tours Offered

Of course, one of the first things that may draw you to a tour guide company is the tours that they offer. You want to obviously make sure that the tour that you take is what you want and that you are able to meet any physical requirements. You also want to make sure that the tour you decide to take is worth the money. Some historic temples and sites one can easily navigate on their own without the need for a tour guide. But remember it is always a good idea to travel and tour with a buddy. There is always safety in numbers.

All in all choosing the right tour guide company depends a lot on what’s available to the traveler and what might meet their needs the best. Do a little research before you trust just anyone and make sure that you are with local knowledgeable people that are familiar with the area, the people, and the language. Going on a guided tour when traveling is a great way to see incredible city sites you might not have been aware of on your own.

How To Prepare When Traveling To Asia

Whenever one travels out of the country to a new destination and unfamiliar destination it is a good idea to research a few important things to ensure that your trip is stress-free and that the traveler stays healthy and safe. When traveling to Asia for the first time there are so many incredible things to see. From historic temples to beautiful beaches, thriving jungles, and busy cities there is so much to see and do in Asia and the many cities that encompass it.

To ensure a smooth and stress-free trip with few uncomfortable surprises it is best to research and understand such things as currency exchange, visa requirements, best times to visit, what to pack, and some understanding of the laws and culture. Being prepared in these areas can help to make sure you are organized and ready which will help to ensure a more enjoyable time.

Visa Requirements

When it comes to Visa requirements when visiting Asia there must be at least 6 months of validity left on your passport. However, requirements are constantly changing especially after the COVID pandemic. It is best that you make sure your Passport is completely renewed and that you have looked into the current visa requirements to visit Asia.

Best Time To Visit

There are generally two seasons in Asia, wet and dry. When deciding when to travel to one of the multiple beautiful cities that make up Asia, take into account if it will be wet or dry during your trip. While you may really want to travel to a certain city it is important that you make sure that you go at the time of year that you will be most comfortable in. It may sound fun to visit a certain Asian destination but if the weather is not your cup of tea you will not enjoy yourself as much. Being aware of the season in Asia can help to ensure you travel at the right time.

Similar to taking into account the best time of year to travel to different cities in Asia it is important to really decide on the cities you want to visit while also taking into account really getting to see each city and experience its culture and historic sites. While a traveler might think that it is best to go to as many cities as possible unless you have a few months to travel you will never really get to see the city and immerse yourself in the experience if you have a packed travel itinerary. In this case, less is actually more.

Think of Your Health

There are many things to consider regarding a traveler’s health when traveling to Asia or any other country for that matter. First and foremost you must check the vaccine requirements and then ensure that you are up to date on the required vaccines. From there it is also a good idea to get a Tetanus and Typhoid Fever vaccine as well as being incredibly strong mosquito repellent. This helps to safeguard travelers against Malaria and Dengue Fever that come from mosquito bites.

There are a few more things on the list when it comes to truly being prepared when traveling to Asia, like what to pack. This of course depends on the season but in general bring comfortable clothes and great walking shoes. When traveling to any new and unfamiliar destination it really helps to get a better understanding of the country one is traveling to. Not only will it help to make your trip a more enjoyable one it will also help to keep you safe and safeguard your health.

Luxury Resorts Utilizing Artificial Turf

Thailand offers so many incredible destinations, sites to see, and historical presence to all those who visit this remarkable destination. Depending on where you travel to in Thailand the climate can either be sustainable and enjoyable or intense, laden with year-round heat and torrential rain 20 days out of the month. So how do the hotels & resorts that host the many visitors that come to Thailand year-round still offer impeccable grounds, and outside activities?

Chiang Mai, a large Northern Thailand city, is one of the most frequently visited cities by tourists, because of its rich historical roots & offerings that date all the way back to 1294. It is one of the northern cities that also boasts a lot of rain and intense year-round heat. Keeping the grounds and outside amenities open, available, and safe for its many international guests can be quite a struggle depending on what the weather brings.

In order to keep the grounds of the resort looking their best but yet still functional for guests meant that they had to be innovative. So the Four Season Resort in Chiang Mai was one of the first hotels and luxury resorts to change up the landscaping design of their grounds, incorporating some of the best artificial turf installation to be found in all of Thailand. Installing artificial turf in place of traditional and real grass was not only a cost-effective solution for the hotel conglomerate but also a great way to preserve the grounds and its amenities year-round, no matter what the weather brings. By opting for artificial turf installation in various places throughout the resort, tennis courts, guest pathways, and more were able to be redesigned to withstand weather conditions, and stay looking beautiful year-round. While Thailand is known for the beauty of its natural landscape, artificial turf has proven to gain momentum throughout Asia.

Many resorts and commercial businesses are beginning to utilize artificial turf and it is even becoming increasingly popular with those looking to add landscape design with minimal care. And because high-quality artificial turf can be incorporated with live foliage and plants if done correctly, adding artificial turf to any landscape is possible. It gives the people and businesses of Thailand another way to showcase the beauty of Thailand without having to worry about what the weather might do to the grass. Instead, more focus can be kept on caring for the vegetation. plants and flowers that so flawlessly incorporate with artificial turf when planned accordingly. And the guests of the Four Seasons or any other hotel or resort utilizing artificial turf are able to enjoy outside amenities and activities without worrying about the ground condition.

The Travel Industry & The Pandemic

With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, travel as we know has come to an increasingly abrupt halt. While some still choose to travel domestically, international travel is exceedingly rare, and rightfully so. But what does that look like for the travel industry and all of the major participants that make up the industry?

With many countries still battling the deadly virus as well as seeing an increase in reported cases many in the travel industries and in industries in all fields are looking to find ways to rebuild and reemerge stronger than ever from this global crisis. However, the effects on the travel industry have been detrimental and the industry as a whole will have to accept that there will be a long & lengthy road to recovery. One thing that does bring hope to many of those suffering amidst this pandemic is that a vaccine looks to be available to selected groups here shortly. On Nov. 9th it was announced that one of the candidates for the COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer & BioNTeach, was over 90% effective in preventing the volunteers involved in the study from contracting the fast-spreading virus.

After this incredible news, the travel industry did see an immediate boost in airline & cruise ship company share prices. Tour operators also reported seeing an increase in searches & bookings for 2021. The fact of the matter is, is that when travel is safe & people feel that they are protected against this deadly virus, they want to travel. Many didn’t get to take their long-awaited vacations in 2020. Many are enduring stress, depression, and a sense of confinement and they are ready to get out and enjoy life, their families, and the world.

While this pandemic has brought about a lot of heartaches, loss, and devastation, the citizens of our world are looking to appreciate their loved ones more, up the quality of life, and take time for all of or at least a lot more of the little things. While we do have a long way to go all over the world in terms of getting completely healthy again, one thing is for sure, when travel begins to return to normal, don’t hesitate to get out and see the world and all the things you have wished to see. Life is short, circumstances are out of our control, and never again will we take for granted the freedom to get up and go!
