Jetstar says south-east Asia holidays good value despite weak Australian dollar
The fall in the Australian dollar has resulted in a shift in demand toward south-east Asian travel destinations, such as Bali instead of Hawaii, which has become more expensive when hotels and spending are included, says Jetstar Group chief executive Jayne Hrdlicka.
"It is affecting things at a moderate level," she told the CAPA 2015 Australia-Pacific Aviation Summit in Sydney on Wednesday. "It is not a big fall. But we are seeing there is more demand going into south-east Asia – Bali in particular – and a little bit less going into more expensive travel options."
