A NEW survey conducted by OTA TripADeal has revealed more than a third of Australian travellers plan to spend between $2,500 and $5,000 on their next domestic holiday.
Only 2.6% said they planned to spend less than $500, while 34.1% claimed they would outlay at least $1,000 on their next trip.
The sizable spend was just part of the encouraging picture painted by the findings, with just over half of the 16,500 Aussie travellers surveyed indicating they intend to travel overseas as soon as the Australian Government says it’s safe to do so.
In terms of time lines, 33.2% of Aussies said they planned to return to normal travel habits within one to six months, followed by 28.6% who indicated they would travel in the next six to 12 months.
Domestic travel ambitions also polled well, garnering 38.5% of the travel intention over the next 12 months, with 25.9% expressing an interest in international travel over the same period, while 35.6% wanted to do both.
“We’ve been absolutely blown away by the response from our travellers, it shows we’re a nation of travel lovers and keen to get out and explore as soon as we can,” said TripADeal co-founder Richard Johnston.
Across the Tasman, Aussies expressed the biggest desire to travel to Queenstown (35.9%) and the harbour city of Auckland (33.5%) first.
