Travel is the not-so-guilty passion of Asia's top money earners, according to a survey by Visa, with people from Hong Kong and India most likely to go on a weekend get-away.
"New sights, new tastes and new sounds drive the personal interests of affluent people in Asia Pacific," said James Lim, regional head of Visa Consumer Credit and Debt in a statement detailing results of the survey.

Food was second with 43 percent, while music and cars were joint third with 31 percent.
