    An increase in demand from Kiwis to see in 2025 from Asia

    An increase in demand from Kiwis to see in 2025 from Asia


    Flight Centre's seen a more than 20-percent rise in Thailand bookings for the New Year period, while demand for Bangkok is also up 14-percent on last year.

    General Manager, Heidi Walker says the destinations are known to give value for money -- which is what many New Zealanders seek.

    She says people are opting for countries with good exchange rates, to ensure they can get an all-inclusive holiday -- and get the maximum from their investment.
