The company claims to have grown its userbase — which it counts as the total reach for its website, mobile apps, WeChat and other touch points — from 200,000 to 500,000 over the same period. It currently includes more than 1,200 activities across 24 destinations in Asia, that’s up from around 1,000 earlier this year. It didn’t say how many bookings or customers it has, but that it “serves thousands of travelers a day.”

The company was founded in September 2014 with the idea of helping travelers and tourists find things to do across Asia. Fah said that Greater China accounts for around one-third of its user base, with Southeast Asia also around the same figure. While Asia is a popular destination for tourists worldwide, Klook is particularly focused on unlocking the potential of Asian travelers.

“We’re a pan-Asia platform that serves both Asian destinations and Asian travelers,” he explained to TechCrunch in an interview. “The rising middle class in Asia make lots of inter-regional travel.” A Hong Kong-based company that sells travel activities across Asia, has announced a $5 million Series A round led by US-Sino investment fund Matrix Partners. China Growth Capital and Francis Leung, chairman of CVC Capital, also took part. Klook raised a $1.5 million seed round in April, and co-founder Eric Gnock Fah told TechCrunch that this round was over-subscribed thanks to impressive growth.

This new funding will go towards growing the destinations and activities on the Klook platform, and further developing its technology. The company also plans to begin spending money on marketing, having relied on partnership deals and word-of-mouth for visibility thus far. Part of that focus will see it open an office in Singapore to increase its focus on Southeast Asia.

Klook may also expand its physical presence into other local markets further down the line, Fah said. The startup is also welcoming a pair of new strategy advisors who could help open doors. Wilfred Fan is managing director of Agoda and head of its business operations in North Asia, while Shuren Hu is a former vice chairman of the planning and financial department of the China National Tourism Administration.

If you’re wondering which cities are hot in Asia — Fah said Hong Kong is Klook’s top choice for visitors, followed by Singapore and Bangkok.

Christchurch is located in the South Island of New Zealand and the third most populous city after Auckland and Wellington. The founder John Robert Godley named the Christchurch after his Alma Mater Christ Church from Oxford, England.

My tour for Mount Cook was cancelled due to bad weather condition so I decided to go for a 2-day Christchurch city tour.

First attraction is the Christchurch Botanic Gardens was founded in 1863 with the area of 21 hectares. The garden is located in the city centre of Christchurch, open daily and the entrance is free.

Nobody assisted from Air New Zealand to check in my luggage since they are promoting self-service. I just printed the boarding pass and luggage tag generated from the machine, put the sticker on my luggage, took the tray, drop my bag and ready to fly. After 1 hour and 5 minutes, I arrived safely at Wellington Domestic Airport. My transport going to my hotel is the shared ride that I booked via Super Shuttle  and the fare cost is NZD 22.00.

My itinerary for the day is Wellington City Sights and Coast Tour around the city. It is a little bit cold in Wellington and weather seems to be unpredictable.

First stop is the Old Saint Paul’s built by the Anglican between 1865 to 1866. It was constructed from native timbers materials and considered as one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architectural in the world. On November 26, 1981 it was listed in Historic Place Category 1 Heritage New Zealand.

Fourth stop is the Mount Victoria, rising 196 meters above the city. The Mount Victoria Lookout is a Wellington must-see with stunning panoramic views of Wellington city, harbor, hills, islands, peninsulas and mountains. Unluckily, it is a cloudy and windy day and I did not see all the spectacular views around.

Fifth stop is The Civic Centre, home to Wellington City Library, City Gallery, Council Offices, Townhall, Visitor Information, Michael Fowler Centre and the City To Sea Bridge. Recently the Square was renamed as The Ngākau Civic Square as part of Wellington’s new te reo Maori policy.

After the short tour in Wellington, time to return to the airport to catch my flight to Christchurch. The word Kia Ora is written on Wellington Airport, from Maori language literally means be well or be healthy. I thought I am in the wrong airport when I saw Middle of Middle-Earth. Even some of the characters in the movie Lord of the Rings were displayed inside the airport, my Precious.

Upon arrival, our guide gave brief history on how the simple farmland was transformed into The Shire. It is a guided walk tour so ensure that you are wearing comfortable dress and walking shoes. Some of the scenes in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movie trilogies were filmed in this location. This is the home of Bilbo Baggins and then Frodo Baggins. Our guide escorted us around the area, showing the famous locations in the movie. She explained how the movie trick was made in the artificial trees, plant, fruits and dress to look real in the big screen.

It’s time for photo session and our guide gave me a nice shot at the Bag End. The Bag End name derived from the real-life farmhouse in the tiny Worcestershire village of Dormston in England whose J.R.R. Tolkien’s Aunt Jane lived.

We explored the 12-acre set, the pond, the Mill, the Green Dragon Inn where we indulge the complimentary and exclusive Hobbit South Farthing beverage.

Upon arrival at the immigration, the officer asked me what I will do in New Zealand. I simply reply that I will go for tourism and he stamped my passport. I already booked my prepaid shuttle going to the hotel via Super Shuttle and the ticket cost is NZD 35.00 for shared ride.

Since I arrived late in the afternoon at Auckland, I decided to be on my own tour rather than joining the group tour. Every time I am travelling, I always prefer to book my hotel near the city center so that everything is accessible like restaurants, bars, tourist spots, etc.

After I check-in at the hotel, I immediately walk for around 16 minutes or 1.5km to reach the Sky Tower. Sky Tower is a telecommunication tower and observation tower located at the heart of Auckland’s CBD. It is 328 meters in height, and it is 25^th tallest tower in the world. The construction started in 1994 and completed in 1997 with the cost of NZD 85 million. The Sky Deck viewing platform is on Level 60 at 220 meters; The Sky Jump, Sky Walk and The Sugar Club Restaurant is on Level 53 at 194 meters; The Orbit 360 Revolving Restaurant is on Level 52 at 190 meters; Main Observation Level is on Level 51 at 186 meters and the Sky Café is on Level 50 at 182 meters. Admission for adults cost NZD 32, for child age 6 to 14 cost NZD 13 and below is free. Online ticket is available on their website. Sky Tower is open daily during the months of May to October from 9am to 10 pm while November to April from 8:30am to 10:30pm

Next stop is Viaduct Harbour, it is 10 minutes walk from the Sky Tower. Viaduct Harbour is a former commercial harbour but turned into a vibrant community situated in and around Auckland’s waterfront. Various apartments, offices, shops, market, museum, restaurants and entertainment are available on the area. You can even book your berth at Viaduct Harbour with a total capacity of 150 berths and can accommodate vessels up to 60 meters in length.

Updates from different News Agencies state that the man behind the shooting was charged with murder after the attack of the 2 mosques at Christchurch, New Zealand last 15 March 2019 during Friday prayers.

The motive behind the killings is still being investigated by authorities. Some reports show that a manifesto circling the internet stating a subculture of extremism played an influence over the terror rampage, but it is still not confirmed.

The death toll rose to 50 people with more than 30 people recuperating in hospitals. The victims arrived with multiple injuries on their bodies, cuts and embedded glass fragments that require multiple surgeries. Some of the victims are refugees from Syria and Afghanistan who fled to their country because of political insurgency but suffered and died on this atrocity.

The world cannot believe that a quiet place like New Zealand with low crime rate is a world stage on this rampage. A stricter gun ban will be implemented as promised by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern after the attack.

Reminder to our OFWs in New Zealand and around the world, be observant and vigilant then to report to authorities any untrustworthy movements and violence!
