Tax and Estate

5 specialized tax reports

1. Homeowners

Whether your clients are looking to buy a first home, are already homeowners or will be selling a home this year, here are some tax tips for you to keep in mind. Also covered is the so-called Singleton Shuffle, a method of making mortgage interest tax deductible.

2. Parents

While parents often bemoan the cost of raising kids, they shouldn’t forget that there are various child-related tax benefits, credits or deductions that can be used to reduce personal income tax. In addition,

filing tax returns for minors, as well as income splitting with kids, can go a long way to reducing the overall tax burden of the family.

3. Students

With the escalating costs of post-secondary education, it’s important for students to ensure they are well-educated as to the various tax benefits, deductions and credits available to them, along with the benefits of filing a tax return – even if they don’t owe any tax.

4. Mutual fund owners

While many investors are familiar with the taxation of mutual funds, there are two fundamental issues that seem to come up regularly and that warrant special attention. The first is the requirement to report not just amounts that show up on your T3 tax slip, but also to report any capital gains associated with any redemption of mutual funds during the year. The second is how to deal with Box 42, “Amount resulting in cost base adjustment” that sometimes

appears on your mutual fund’s T3 slip. This report provides a brief overview of how mutual fund trusts are taxed and then delves deeper into each specific issue: reporting redemptions of mutual fund units and handling a return of capital.

5. Employees

IN-TAX-I-CA-TION is the short-term euphoria associated with a tax refund that fades when you realize you are getting your own money back, interest-free, over a year later. A CIBC Harris/Decima poll conducted earlier this year found that over half of Canadians expected to receive a tax refund and nearly three-quarters (72%) of those receiving a refund planned to use it to pay down debts or build up their savings. While it’s clear that Canadians are indeed focused on getting their financial house in order, getting a tax refund each year is actually a sign of poor tax and financial planning, as Canadians would be better off either paying down debt and/or investing their tax “refund” with every pay cheque.

Economic Outlook

Deputy Chief Economist, CIBC Benjamin Tal

Commodities forecast

Some of the factors restraining growth in the industrially-sensitive commodities market, including supply-chain effects from Japan’s natural disaster, are clearly transitory. Others, like the drag from fiscal and monetary tightening in key emerging markets, are likely to keep growth, which hit a 32-month peak in April, from validating investors’ earlier high expectations in coming quarters. All this means that despite the still-favourable longer-term prospects for demand growth in key emerging markets, there could be further consolidation in resource markets in the near term.

Another trend to note is that the correlation of prices across sectors appears to have declined recently. Copper and gold have fallen by much less than oil lately. That suggests that after some years of increasingly viewing commodities as a homogenous asset class, investors may once again be paying greater attention to sector-specific fundamentals. Here is a look at some key commodities:

Oil

While the turmoil in Libya continues to keep that country’s high-quality capacity off global markets, Americans, who remain the world’s top oil users, are driving less, causing renewed fears about “demand destruction.” Softer weekly implied demand figures have contributed to a 12% pullback since West Texas Crude prices reached two-and-a-half year highs this spring. April’s 8.3% rise from a year earlier suggests that China’s implied demand is holding up well, despite the fact that both industrial sector and motor vehicle demand are slowing. While uncertainty over middle eastern supplies and assorted other factors will contribute to volatility, we are maintaining our earlier forecast for an average trading level of $97 per barrel for West Texas crude this year, and raising next year’s target by $5 to $95 per barrel.

Natural gas

U.S. benchmark natural gas hub prices have risen by as much as 20% from their late-spring lows. Inventory levels have tightened and are now actually slightly below the half-decade average due to February’s production freeze-off, the effect

of severe winter weather on consumption, and rising generation demand. Notwith- standing that fact, prices may have trouble moving significantly higher in the absence of major hurricane season disruptions, given ample current supply. We expect Henry Hub prices to average $4.50/MMBtu this year and $5.00 in 2012.

Gold

Gold has made further progress toward our forecast cyclical peak of $1,600 an ounce in recent weeks. Eurozone debt woes, economic uncertainties and equity market volatility have helped cushion the metal from the selling pressures afflicting other commodities. Although interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve will ultimately derail the rally, such action still appears to be many quarters away and we believe that the effects of the end of QE2 are already

factored into prices. A modest U.S. dollar relief rally could contribute to short-run selling pressure, but offsetting that are elevated event risk, demand for inflation hedges from emerging markets, and the search by central banks for U.S. dollar alternatives. All in all, we see a modest upside for prices over a 12 - to -18-month horizon.

Heightened risk aversion and fears about economic recovery have pushed industrially-sensitive commodity prices off their April highs. Benjamin Tal discusses what to expect from key commodities in the near future.

“Copper and gold have fallen by much less than oil lately. That suggests that after some years of increasingly viewing commodities as a homogenous asset class, investors may once again be paying greater attention to sector-specific fundamentals.”

The views expressed in the article are the views of Benjamin Tal and should not be taken as the views of CIBC Asset Management Inc.

Copper

Although copper is among the most cyclically levered of the industrial metals, prices should nonetheless draw some support from a supply deficit this year, as demand

continues to run ahead of constrained supply growth. Given that Japan is the world’s fourth-largest user of the metal – behind China, the U.S. and Germany – demand there should get a two-pronged lift from the restart of idled auto produc-tion in coming months and post-quake reconstruction, moving into the second half of the year. China’s current power supply gap and efforts to develop an electric car

industry point to strong growth there in future years. Other metals have had more of a mixed performance recently, with falling stainless steel prices hurting nickel.

Lumber

The comatose U.S. new home construction sector, and the wettest spring in decades throughout much of North America, squelched out an earlier rally in lumber futures. However, post-quake reconstruction in Japan in the second half should help the sector. Canada is Japan’s largest

timber supplier with almost 40% market share. What’s more, demand from another regional giant, China, is growing rapidly. At this point, even slightly less awful numbers could support lumber prices.

Potash

Rising meat production in the emerging markets should continue to support the outlook for fertilizer-intensive crops. Potash production rebounded last year and remains above levels seen in the middle of the last decade. North American inventory levels are down by about a third from their recent highs. Affordability for farm producers has also improved, as prices have trailed those for many agricultural commodities. These developments should encourage producers to seek further modest increases in contract prices in coming months.

“Post-quake reconstruction in Japan in the second half should help the lumber sector. Canada is Japan’s largest timber supplier with almost 40% market share.”

Look for prices for both lumber (left) and potash (right) to move modestly upwards in coming months

You’re either reading this article because you have a genuine interest in the mind of the affl uent investor, or the title grabbed your attention because, like many people, you’re not really convinced that the wealthy have anything to be afraid of.

Let’s assume I walk out of my offi ce right now, randomly stop a cross-section of pedestrians on the street, and ask them the following simple question: “In your experience, what are the greatest fears of the wealthy?”

Now, I have no doubt that some would ponder the question for a moment and quickly come up with a few ideas on what the wealthy may possibly fear. Perhaps we would hear things like “being robbed of their stuff” or “being taken advantage of by others.” But the majority of those questioned, would most likely respond

with a cynical chuckle as they confi dently express the belief that “rich people don’t have real fears.” While the “fearless affl uent” hypothesis is a widespread fundamental belief, it is one that is held almost exclusively by those who have not yet achieved affl uence.

In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. The wealthy do, in fact, bring a surprising set of fears to the table, fearsthat are both substantial and, often, completely justifi ed.

Having addressed thousands of high-net-worth investors over the last decade, and through my on going research on the affl uent marketplace, I have isolated and identifi ed what I believe to be the three primary fears of the affl uent. Let’s chat about them for a moment.

1. Fear of losing their wealth

In my experience, the number one fear of the high net worth (those with over $1 million of investable assets) is the pervasive fear of losing their wealth. And although the fear of lost wealth may seem rather mundane on the surface, stay with me for a moment because there’s an interesting twist to the story. As it turns out, when we dig a little deeper, the affl uent don’t just fear losing some (or a little bit) of their wealth…they fear losing most or ALL of their wealth!

Despite this sobering reality, I regularly speak to groups of experienced investment professionals who are still largely unaware that this fear so deeply permeates the affl uent community.

The secret fears of the wealthy How to uncover and address what troubles the affl uent

In a few short years, most of the fi nancial wealth in Canada will be controlled by millionaire households. The wealthy are coming and they’re bringing with them tremendous opportunities for those engaged in the business of delivering sound advice. But the wealthy also carry with them hidden fears and those need to be understood…


2. Fear of losing their current income

As human beings, we are all confronted daily with the powerful temptation to live up to (and slightly beyond) our financial means – and most of us do just that. Interestingly enough, we see this pattern of behaviour unfold with remarkable consistency regardless of education, social status or the degree of affluence attained. As our life-style evolves and matures around our changing financial means, our income becomes the life-blood that feeds our life-style, and for those without emergency savings, or other liquid assets, the unbroken continuance of this income stream is nothing short of critical.

The affluent household essentially lives under that very same dynamic. On the road to affluence, the wealthy family systematically develops a lifestyle that typically consists of multiple layers of complexity. And, in many cases, this enhanced standard of living, fed by a substantial stream of income, often flows from more than just one source of revenue. Needless to say, any meaningful interruption or reduction in that flow, carries with it significant consequences. Perhaps even more important than the obvious financial ramifications, are the cascading effects in the areas of: family expectations, social status, self-esteem, and a multitude of psycho- emotional dynamics that come into play.

3. Fear of the single devastating event

The often debated claim that “money doesn’t buy happiness” appears to be more accurate than we would ever imagine, according to countless high-net-worth studies including a recent Boston College survey of the super-rich that made headlines earlier this year.

The affluent often toss and turn at night due to a nagging underlying feeling that they are just one or two events away from a significant financial reversal. And in most cases, they are right. This single devastating event could be any one of a long list of possibilities. The following are just a few examples of events that, in most cases, would absolutely result in a significant financial reversal or complete financial ruin.

> Marital breakup> Bankruptcy of a core business line> Business failure of a strategic partner> Lawsuit> Capital market meltdown> Personal health crisis

The common thread that runs throughout is the complete and utter lack of predictability and/or controllability. It’s the not knowing when or how that drives the underlying anxiety of the wealthy.

The Strategic Fear Discussion

I entitled this article The secret fears of the wealthy for a reason. The high-net-worth investor will virtually never approach you, as a financial advisor, and proceed to openly share their innermost fears. The affluent are often too embarrassed to admit that they fear losing their wealth, their current income, or that they may be just one or two events away from a significant financial reversal. They have a tendency to feel very much alone in their fears, and typically have no clue that other affluent families feel exactly the same way.

One of the greatest services we can provide to our high-net-worth clients is to empathetically uncover their secret fears, openly legitimize them, and then address them directly!

An effective way to begin this process is to proactively initiate a strategic conversation, as early in the relationship as possible, using the following semantic format:

“…In my experience in working with affluent investors, just like you, I have discovered that the wealthy often share a few secret fears. Most people think that the wealthy have nothing to fear because they have money in the bank and some nice material possessions. But, I know that nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, I’ve found that the number one fear of the affluent is losing their wealth, but not just some or a little bit of it. No, the wealthy fear losing most or ALL of their wealth. We’ve also found that another very common fear of the wealthy is the fear of losing their current income stream, etc…”

Once you’ve talked through all three primary fears, clearly explain to your client how your wealth management process is designed specifically to address these concerns, directly.

As you effortlessly uncover the secret fears of your affluent clients and deliver practical solutions to manage them, your ability to captivate the high-net-worth mind will take a quantum leap forward.

Work’s a beach


What I love about the business I get great satisfaction from helping my clients in any way that I can. I really enjoy working collaboratively with my team at the branch, but also like the flexibility that my career provides as I can work from anywhere, anytime. I have a deal with my wife that I get to work one hour a day when on vacation. This allows me to spend the rest of day fully focused on my family, knowing that my clients are well taken care of.

Best tip for gaining new clients In the beginning of my career, I did everything from cold calling to events. Now that my practice is well established, I work by the philosophy that if you are exceptional to your existing clients, your business will grow organically. Existing clients will give you more of their assets, and they will provide quality referrals.

The book I’m currently reading I have just finished The Big Short by Michael Lewis and highly recommend it. It tells the story of those individuals who anticipated the financial crash of 2008 and were well positioned to not only weather it well, but also profit from it.

Favourite vacation spot I really enjoy Jamaica, its people and culture are quite extraordinary. Although, I am looking forward to a trip to Hawaii with my family later this year and suspect it may become a favourite.

Favourite hobby when I’m not at work It is spending time with my family and kids as often as possible. We travel a lot together and enjoy this time immensely.

What I offer to the local marketplace and to my clients Renaissance Investments has helped me continue to build my business by providing truly innovative products. Taxation and capital preservation are the biggest concerns for my clients and the Renaissance Corporate Bond Capital Yield Fund has proven to be a superior solution. The MER is low, and it’s tax-efficient, professionally managed and gives me access to bonds not normally available to an individual investor. The Renaissance Optimal Income Portfolio has also proven to be an excellent solution.

On another note, one of my clients (wanted to assist a) local soup kitchen. With the help of many others, including my wholesaler at Renaissance Investments, we were able to raise the funds. It is very satisfying to see tangible results of community giving and the smiles it brings to the faces of those in need. I am truly grateful to get to do this.

Invest Well

Until this spring, the resource sector looked almost unstoppable.

The economic engines of the emerging markets – namely China and India – were running full-out, U.S. economic growth was fi rming and Greece’s debt woes were thought to be contained. The resource sector and the commodities that underpin it were on a tear. Oil, gold, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, coal and silver prices were all marching higher as they struggled to meet demand.

“Everything was going along quite well,” says Craig Porter, portfolio manager for the Renaissance Global Resource Fund and a 20-year-plus resources investor at respected Toronto-based money manager Front Street Investment Management Inc.

How quickly things changed.

By the second quarter, China was making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Infl ation was heating up, bank reserve requirement ratios were being increased and Chinese central bankers had hit the

brakes hard with a series of interest rate hikes. In India, Brazil, Indonesia and a number of other emerging countries the story was much the same: overheating economies, rising infl ation and interest rates heading higher.

“Over 15 emerging markets have hiked interest rates in the past 12 months,” says Stephen Burrows, senior investment manager at Pictet Asset Management Ltd., which oversees the Renaissance Emerging Markets Fund from London, England.

Resource rich

The booming resource sector faltered this spring as demand tapered off, but three Renaissance Investments portfolio managers believe this is just a temporary setback. China could be in the midst of a commodities super-cycle as its manufacturing sector draws downs the world’s resources to stoke its growth. And as millions of people in China and other emerging markets enjoy higher standards of living, they’re consuming goods and services once out of reach, further fuelling growth. Offering their insights are the portfolio managers of the Renaissance Global Resource, Renaissance Emerging Markets and Renaissance China Plus Funds.

Capitalizing on the global resource supply chain from the ground up

Booming Hong Kong reaps the rewards of China’s rise


As the prospect of slowing emerging markets growth started to sink in among investors, a stream of U.S. economic data suggested a similar fate for the world’s largest economy. Falling gross domestic product numbers confirmed it. As did unemployment and hiring numbers. QE2 – the massive Treasury buying program designed to prop up the U.S. economy – was also coming to an end June 30, adding to the unease. In Europe, the Greek debt situation was back on the front burner and the likelihood of default growing.

The year which had started with so much promise was losing its shine. Resources were faltering. Market watchers started to ask if this was the end of the resources story, the collapse of the Chinese “miracle” and the fall of the emerging markets.

Quickly, the answers are no, no and no.

Resources catch their breath

“This is nothing more than mid-cycle weakness,” says Front Street’s Porter who oversees more than $1 billion in resource-related investments for retail and institutional investors. He says the resources story is still unfolding and has many years to play out, which bodes well for resource-rich countries such as Canada, Australia and Brazil.

William Lui, portfolio manager of the Renaissance China Plus Fund at Hamon Investment Management Ltd. in Hong Kong, believes the long-term resources demand story in China and emerging economies remains intact and he views the current slowdown positively. “China wants to see less volatile, higher quality growth and the actions they’re taking today should translate into longer-term, less risky growth in the future,” he says.

Lui says the government is targeting GDP growth of 7% for the next five years. Lower than the heady 9% and 10% we’ve seen, but still far above the average 2% in developed countries. Short term, Lui says there could be more bumps in the road, but he expects food and price inflation to peak this summer after which the government will refocus on growth.

Pictet’s Burrows takes Lui’s assessment a step further. “Whether it’s China, India, Brazil or Indonesia, the wave of industrialization and urbanization is upon us and nothing will change that.” Burrows, who works with 18 emerging markets investment professionals covering over 6,000 companies in 49 countries, pegs emerging market growth at 6.5% this year.

Given all this, it’s hard to imagine a scenario, beyond the short term, in which there won’t be upward pressure on commodity prices and the resource sector.

Slowing growth, falling prices

As the calendar flipped from 2010 to 2011, commodity prices reached highs not seen since the 2008 peak, but the prospect of slower global growth has led to a downturn.

China’s march to miracle

It was 1978 when the People’s Republic of China officially moved away from a closed, centrally planned system to a more market-oriented one. Thirty years later, China has become the world’s second-largest economy, the world’s largest exporter and the world’s biggest car maker.

A buying opportunity in emerging markets

For now, however, Burrows maintains that emerging market valuations, which had been at a slight premium to developed markets, are at a discount. “We’re seeing a lot of value in a lot of places right now,” he says. A value investor, Burrows looks for best-in-class global companies that are trading at a discount to intrinsic value. One challenge for the Pictet team is making apples-to-apples comparisons with companies around the world when accounting, legal and disclosure requirements lack uniformity. To compensate, he measures corporate tangible assets to ascertain value. If, for instance, the company is a manufacturer, Burrows’ team puts a price tag on factories, equipment and other assets. Comparisons are made with other manufacturers in the same industry making the same product. The approach is similar to the due diligence performed by a private equity investor interested in purchasing a company. “We put ourselves in the shoes of an industrialist and ask whether it is cheaper to buy a company or build its capacity,” he says.

Two countries he’s currently overweight are Indonesia and Russia. Indonesia, says Burrows, exemplifies the potential of emerging markets investing. It is the fourth

most populous country in the world with about 240 million people. Half are under 30 and millions are joining the ranks of the middle class. This wave of new consumers is transforming the business landscape providing fertile growth for a large number of companies in a variety of industries. (See Burrows’ picks in the sidebar)

With its consumer theme, the Renaissance Emerging Markets Fund makes a good foil for the Renaissance China Plus Fund, the majority of whose holdings consist of companies tied to China’s manufacturing and export-led economy and closely connected to the resource sector in the global supply chain.

A diverse Team China

Unlike Burrows, Lui is more of a growth investor. He says valuation is important but in the go-go Chinese market it’s difficult to

be anything but a growth investor. Lui’s China investment team consists of five investment professionals. Two fundamental analysts provide sector coverage while Hamon’s chief investment officer provides the top-down macro view as well as input into China and Hong Kong research. The final member of the team is a Taiwan-based manager, as the fund has the ability to invest in the island nation – a point of differen- tiation among some China-country funds. Another difference lies in its ability to invest in companies outside China as long as these companies derive all of their revenue or have facilities in China.

Each team member comes from a different part of China (Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Jiangsu) with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. Due to the many dialects, lack of transparency and government involvement in many industries, Lui says it’s important to have well- connected local investment professionals who can cross-check facts and data through a variety of sources, including government officials. Lui, who just returned from a trip to the farthest reaches of North West China to tour oil and natural gas companies near the Mongolian and Afghanistan borders, believes active, research-driven management is the best way to invest in China.

“At the end of the day, any resource company is only worth what it has in the ground and how cheaply it extracts it.”

Chinese commodities super-cycle?

Industry watchers looking at China’s strong demand for commodities over the past decade suggest demand will continue to outstrip supply resulting in a super-cycle where prices stay high for an extended period of time, maybe as long as a couple of decades. There have been two previous super-cycles: one in the U.K. during the industrial revolution and the other in 1900s U.S.

Full resource-chain circle

Closer to home, Toronto-based Porter uses many of the same top-down and bottom-up strategies to build his portfolios. Top down, he takes into account macroeconomic factors, industry dynamics and the influence, among others, of emerging economic power-houses on supply and demand. Bottom up, research is focused on asset valuation, the calibre of company management and business strategy execution. “At the end of the day, any resource company is only worth what it has in the ground and how cheaply it extracts it,” says Porter, adding that independent geologists assist him with asset valuation.

While Porter enjoys a global mandate, he has an affinity for Canadian-led resource companies wherever they are headquartered or listed. Canadians have a level of expertise and experience exploring, producing or servicing the energy and materials sectors that’s world class, he says. He likes small-cap resource companies for their capital appreciation and merger and acquisition potential. In contrast, large- cap names offer an important element of liquidity and steady dividends.

Porter sums up the resource supply chain in human terms. “There’s 1.3 billion people in China and 300 million of them are the haves and the other billion the have-nots. The Chinese are working hard to make sure the other billion have a light at the end of the tunnel and that means growth and long-term resource demand.”

From resources to richesThe many links in the long global resource supply chain represent distinct and varied capital appreciation opportunities. Whether it’s picks-and-shovels resource companies, Chinese manufacturers in the world’s largest workshop or firms catering to a new generation of consumers in emerging markets, here are our managers’ picks.

Producing resourcesCraig Porter, Renaissance Global Resource Fund

Athabasca Oil Sands Corp.With its future oil production pegged between 500,000 and 800,000 barrels per day, this Calgary-based company is one of the world’s up-and-coming producers. PetroChina acquired a 60% stake in two AOSC projects in 2009 for $1.7 billion and may eventually want more. Whether Athabaska sells out to the Chinese or the partnership continues, Porter sees upside in both outcomes in an increasingly energy-hungry world.

Talison Lithium Ltd.This TSX-listed company mines and processes lithium bearing minerals at its Australian mine and is poised to match 2010 world output by 2012. Demand for lithium – particularly in China’s manufacturing hubs – is expected to grow in coming years. Lithium-ion batteries are used in mobile telephones, energy grid storage and electric cars. Talison is positioning itself to be the world’s number one supplier, says Porter.

Using resourcesWilliam Lui, Renaissance China Plus Fund

China National Materials Co. Ltd.For a direct play on the Chinese manufacturing story and the massive infrastructure require-ments needed for new cities, highways, housing and manufacturing facilities, Lui recommends China National Materials.

Beyond resourcesStephen Burrows, Renaissance Emerging Markets Fund

Bank MandiriBurrows is bullish on the financial services sector in key emerging markets. Indonesia is one of the countries where he believes the growing middle class and rising standards of living will create demand for financial services. Right now, only one in five Indonesians have a bank account and one in 100 a mortgage, hence Burrows investment in Bank Mandiri, a leading Indonesian retail, commercial and corporate bank.

SberbankFor similar reasons, Burrows likes Russia’s Sberbank, the country’s largest bank with market shares of 62% in deposits, 50% in retail lending, 32% in commercial lending and 29% in aggregate assets.

Off the beaten trail, 21st century style

Asian vacation confidential

In the age of the smart phone and the cheap charter fl ight, does the proverbial hidden gem of a travel destination still exist?


As much as it may seem that the days of travel to exotic far-away lands is a thing of the past, you would be surprised at how easy it can still be to get away from it all in our wired-up era. Asia offers many spots where you can immerse yourself in fascinating cultures and scenery by day – and then, return to a luxury resort for a gourmet dinner and good night’s sleep.

Even if you can’t be a pioneer or the first person into newly opened-up Vietnam, for example, you can still have an experience that’s genuine, unique and fresh, says Jonathan Lansdell, trip planner at Toronto-based Butterfield & Robinson Travel, which specializes in walking and cycling tours. “It’s all about how you travel and what you do once you’re there.”

Butterfield’s Vietnam cycling tour – which wheels past banana plantations and villages, with stops at rice-paper craft shops and dragon-fruit farms – has been recommended by Travel + Leisure magazine, and readers have named the company one of the top three tour operators in the world. “We get out into mountains and jungles while a lot of tourists just want to flop and drop,” says Landsell.

Those flopping, dropping travelers do have an excellent reason to want to stick around their resorts, however. Asia’s five-star hotels offer a level of service unparalleled in the west. And the beaches of Southeast Asia, with their fine white sand and perfect waves can be hard to leave behind. Throw in a few spectacular swimming pools, luxury spas and golf courses, and you can start to understand why you may need to set aside an extra week to enjoy the beach once you’re finished exploring.

Here are our sort-of-secret suggestions for your Asian itinerary:

The mountains of Bhutan

As far as travel secrets go, it’s hard to top a hidden kingdom; this is how Bhutan, located in the Himalayas between India and China, has been described for centuries.

It may not, however, stay hidden much longer. After years of restricting access to a few thousand visitors per year, the Wall Street Journal reported this spring that the country has launched “an ambitious economic development program that includes plans to jack up the number of foreign visitors from fewer than 50,000 to 100,000 annually by 2012, and higher in years beyond.”

That means you’ll have to go soon if you want to beat the throngs and step back in time to experience what life was like in

another era. One of the country’s main attractions is the so-called Tiger’s Nest, a 17th-century monastery on a cliff face in the Paro valley. For luxury lovers, Bhutan does have a five-star hotel, the Amankora Paro. It’s part of the Aman resort chain, which started up in Thailand, and, according to Butterfield’s Landsell, has followers so devoted that they visit every new resort. No matter where they stay, however, Landsell

“Even if you can’t be a pioneer or the first person into newly opened-up Vietnam, for example, you can still have an experience that’s genuine, unique and fresh.”

says, many travellers to Bhutan come back telling him, the experience made them feel 10 or 15 years younger.

The rainforests of Borneo

For most North Americans, a rainforest holiday means a trip to Costa Rica, but if you’ve got some extra time or are already heading to Asia for other reasons, consider Borneo as a different destination. To get to the one-and-only Borneo Rainforest Lodge, located in the Danum Valley on the northern tip of the island, requires a bumpy, two-and-half-hour drive. Yet, despite being deep in the heart of the jungle, the lodge offers up all the amenities including excellent meals designed to fuel guests up for their rainforest treks, night safaris, jungle canopy walks and bird watching.

Visitors might spot endangered species like the Sumatran rhino, Benteng elephant, clouded leopard, Bornean gibbon, leaf monkey and orangutan, the last of which is found only in Borneo. Bird life is extensive too, meaning that if you’re not lucky enough to see a rare rhinoceros, you still have a good chance of spotting a rhinoceros hornbill, one of the biggest birds in Asia’s rainforests.

The beaches of Boracay

Boracay is a small island – just 10 square kilometers –in the Philippines, located some 300 kilometers south of Manila. It’s one of several spots in the archipelago nation that offers excellent scuba diving and snorkeling in warm, mostly tranquil waters just a half hour boat ride away. If you’re not already a diver, it’s also a great place to take a course. The island’s White Beach, with its fine pow-der-like sand and reputation as one of the world’s best beaches, runs along the west-ern shore and is sheltered from the wind for most of the year. The northern and southern ends of the island are windier as is Bulabog Beach on the island’s eastern side, which makes it an ideal location for water sports like windsurfing and kiteboarding.

Boracay’s 72-par golf course, designed by Australian golfer Graham Marsh, used to be strictly private but now welcomes the public. In 2009, a Shangri-La resort and spa opened on the northern tip of the island where it has its own exclusive beaches and offers guests their very own swimming pools. Needless to say there’s wifi too so, if the urge strikes, you can always tweet pool-side pictures to your friends back home.
