Qantas unveils
Asia brochure
QANTAS Holidays has unveiled its first brochure
dedicated to Asia, featuring China, Japan, India
and the south-east.
Esther Ward, Qantas Holidays market develop-
ment manager, said: “Historically, we have
promoted Asia only as a stopover destination for
our Australia and New Zealand itineraries.
“But over the years our product range has
increased to such an extent that an individual
brochure was the natural next step, allowing us
to present our customers with an extensive
range of exciting options, considerable availabil-
ity, great prices and special offers.”
Multi-centre itineraries are available, allowing
travellers to see Singapore and Malaysia in 11
nights from £769, or Thailand and Vietnam over
two weeks from £965.
Other options allow travellers to explore a
single country in depth. A 16-day Forts & Palaces
of Rajasthan tour in India costs from £1,575,
Collette urges agents
while an eight-day Japanese Journey starts at
£1,250. All prices exclude flights.
