How Landscape Might Influence鈥he Way We Travel
Here is a glimpse into how landscape might influence the way we travel. With the Jewel at Changi Airport Singapore due to open on 17 April, this 135,700 sq.m complex filled with lush greenery and a stunning water feature integrated with a seamless shopping experience has many travellers altering their travel plans just to make a stop or transit here. Travellers are looking for a more meaningful and experiential journey when they travel,and it looks like landscape and greenery is an answer that moves way beyond the usual retail and shopping experiences. Hong Kong International Airport, for example, is developing the 25ha SkyCity mega -ntegrated development. It is set to be completed in phases in the coming decade
So the next time you have a plan to make a stop or transit at an airport in any part of the world, you may be consciously making a choice to stop at one where it offers you lush greenery and a memorable experience.
