Just the Flight's three top Asian hotspots

Flights are becoming more available to Asian destinations

Holidays in Asia are becoming increasingly popular as flights become more affordable and accessible. Unsurprisingly, this has led to several hotspots emerging, offering visitors a new and refreshing destination to explore. For those who want beautiful locations for holidays in 2012, here are Just the Flight's top three spots.

Busan, South Korea

South Korea may not be the obvious choice for a holiday but the nation is gradually increasing its tourist options. This year, Busan is set to see increased numbers of visitors wanting to enjoy sea and seafood in this cosmopolitan city. With a 2020 bid for the Summer Olympics and an increasingly popular International Firm Festival, the city is set for great things in the future.

Palawan Island, Philippines

Only an hour from Manila, Palawan Island is the place to go if holidaymakers are looking for spectacular natural beauty. The island has national parks, coral reefs, rainforests, limestone cliffs and much more to explore. The El Nido Marine Reserve is a particular favourite for divers, whilst waterfalls, stunning vistas and interesting wildlife make the forests very attractive too.

Khanom, Thailand

Thailand remains a popular retreat and for those travelling to Koh Samui via Phuket, Khanom is an ideal alternative destination. A small fishing village, Khanom has clean stretches of isolated beaches and beautiful mangrove swamps for eager explorers to discover.
