Is this a "round trip" or could it be something like a "perfect trip" I think it could mean the latter, but would like a second opinion please.
This is the text "Aunque para los que recorren el Sudeste Asiático es un lugar de paso, Bangkok es el segundo destino internacional más visitado, con más de 18 millones de visitantes al año. ¿La razón? La diversificación de su oferta. Bangkok ha sabido combinar historia y modernidad, y hoy los templos milenarios conviven con futuristas centros comerciales que atraen tanto al turista medio que busca conocer la cultura tailandesa, a las parejas de recién casados que desean un viaje exótico (pero cómodo) y al turismo de ‘shopping’. La religión budista también atrae otro tipo de turismo, el místico. Un destino redondo."

: I think the basic meaning is ideal or perfect, rather than "rounded"; this is a very good way of putting it.

: Your header term as it stands is not idiomatic English; I imagine you meant "all-round", but that isn't what you posted//However if you were to post an amendment, I'd happily post an Agree. I think your explanation is fine

A complete tourist destination
Strikes me as a natural way of putting it, and close to the original.

all-round
This is close to what Biged posted, but this is the correct idiom.
Lots of hits.

: well, I can't very well disagree with you, given my comment below bigedsenior's answer. Was tempted to post this myself but didn't want to jump on his bandwagon; so am waiting to see if he posts a version that I CAN agree with; also prefer his explanation

A perfect destination.
In contexts outside of math or shapes "redondo" can also be used to mean complete or perfect.
From WordReference.com:
redondo,da
adj. De forma circular o esférica:
las señales de tráfico redondas indican prohibición o recomendación.
Completo,perfecto o muy provechoso:
negocio redondo.
