Holiday high as Aussies get planning
By admin


The percentage of Australians intending to take a holiday in the next 12-months is at a five-year high, and higher than any other March quarter in the last five years, according to the latest research from Roy Morgan.

Compared to March last year, an extra 5% of Aussies are taking their next trip in our great country down under.

Overseas trips are on the rise as well, with 11% of Australians planning to head abroad for their next holiday.

“After declining dramatically early last year, holiday intention has recovered and is now at a five-year high for both domestic and overseas holidays,” said international director of Tourism, Travel & Leisure for Roy Morgan Research, Jane Ianniello.

“This is particularly good news for the Australian tourism industry, which saw domestic intention hit a five-year low this time last year.”
