5 Best Winter Tours in the World, Do It Even Once in a Lifetime!

JAKARTA – Holiday winter can leave an impression for a lifetime. The reason is, unlike beach tourism, winter tourism cannot be done in all seasons or at all times.

You can take a multi-week cruise to Antarctica or return to a luxury lodge after a refreshing day of sledding and snowmobiling in Canada.

To get this exciting holiday, quoted by Travel + Leisure, there are several places that can be an inspiration to enjoy a winter holiday.
