The rise of budget airlines has increased leisure travel
to countries within the region, and effectively brought
prominence to the individual traveller. Unlike popular
belief, those taking budget airlines might not necessarily
come with matching shoestring budgets. Take a trip to this
weeks featured destination, Hue, in Vietnam for example.
International travellers might save on their trip to Hue,
as they know that they still have to transfer at either
Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. However, they might then
redirect their savings towards pampering themselves at
this weeks featured hotel, La Residence Hotel & Spa in
Hue. Budget airlines have inadvertently brought about
this interesting phenomenon or what some may call a
juxtaposition.
