Hot travel tips for G20 leaders

G20 fever has hit Brisbane and the rest of the country, giving people across the world a glimpse of Australia’s best features.

With the country on the world stage, and delegates from over 25 nations arriving in Brisbane throughout the week, tourism operators are taking advantage of the global publicity the conference is attracting.

Topdeck Travel has pulled out some of its favourite Australian trips, and matched them up with some of the world leaders attending the G20, encouraging leaders and their entourages to take some time out and enjoy what Australia has to offer.

Check out which itineraries Topdeck recommends for each heavyweight attendee of the G20.

President Vladimir Putin

With a passion for the outdoors and posing shirtless on a number of occasions, Vladimir would be in his element on the Ultimate Surfari trip allowing him to frolic on the sun-kissed Gold Coast before taking a few surfing lessons at Topdeck’s Surf Lodge.

Two nights in Byron Bay to kick back and enjoy the unique vibe, and possibly a sky-diving experience is next on the itinerary.

After enjoying Byron Bay for two days, Vladimir can jump back on the bus and make his way to Sydney with a quick stop off at Crescent Head for another spot of surfing (or shirtless photo opportunity) with his trip ending with wine tasting in the Hunter Valley.

President Barack Obama

After being cooped up indoors for days on end it would be fair to say that the leader of the free world would want to get outdoors and soak up the sun, and naturally, the best way to do this is to enjoy some cruising up the east coast.

East Coast Cruisin’ trip with Topdeck would see Obama enjoying Australia’s east coast from the Whitsundays down to Sydney.

With 4WD experiences on Fraser Island, sailing in the Whitsundays and a host of other activities, President Obama will definitely be making more trips downunder.

Prime Minister David Cameron

What better way to show off Australia to a Brit than to show them what a real beach looks like, and there’s no better way to do this than putting Prime Minister Cameron on the Reef Suntanner trip.

The Brit would be able to see the best beaches in Queensland and swim the Great Barrier Reef, travelling between the sun-seekers' Mecca that is Surfers Paradise and the tropical hotspot of Cairns.

Touring Australia's stunning East Coast makes for a tonne of breathtaking scenery and memorable moments to experience along the way.
