Best 2009 Travel Deals for Australians
What’s going to happen with the Australian travel industry in 2009 – in light of the economic crises both within and outside of Australia? Well my picks are severalDomestic Australian Travel Up in 2009
The domestic travel industry is going to encourage Australians to travel t home to make for the short fall of overseas visitors who will be scared off over worries for their jobs and the high Australian Dollar against against the US$. The easing of petrol prices may well see families brushing off their camping gear and actually getting the 4WD off-road to take classic Australian drive. This year could be a good year for campgrounds and camping stores!
Excellent Deals to Asia 2009
Australian will possibly respond to the excellent cheap air deals being offered by Air Asia and Jetstar to Asia, with the full service airlines having to match prices.
Good Deals to Europe in 2009
Interestingly there are some good deals to Europe for cruising and coach tours for the 2009 season. it seems that Australians are being lured to book early, to avoid higher prices because of the drop in the A$ – but the reality is that Europe – particularly places like Italy – are going to be suffering from a downturn in American travellers – 2009 could be the best deals to Europe for some time
