Volume 117 of Vacations & Travel magazine is out now
As the latest issue of Vacations & Travel magazine hits newsstands, there is a plethora of new research showing the passion for travel among Aussies. The Australian Bureau of Statistics points to a remarkable resumption in international travel, with data for April 2022 showing 1.2-million international border crossings to and from Australia – up from 118,000 the same time last year. It’s still well short of April 2019 figures (3.5 million), but the impressive growth in such a short period of time has everyone in the travel industry cheering.
Add to this stats that show close to 80 per cent of Aussies plan to travel in 2022, and that we’re saving at least $5,000 to put toward our sojourns, and the future looks very bright indeed.
With the uptake in mind, this issue of Vacations & Travel celebrates every corner of the world, whether you’re taking it in from the air (perhaps on a helicopter twirl over Tasmania), the water (cruising around far-flung islands) or the land (think a road-trip through Provence). Our talented team of writers and photographers take you trekking through Fiordland in New Zealand, on an expedition to Antarctica, exploring America’s newest national park… and then show you how to bliss out at a new wellness resort in the Maldives. As if you need an excuse.
We've also scoured the globe to find the hottest experiences to try this year – we’ve listed 22, but there are so many more peppered throughout our pages, and online.
“It’s extremely exciting to be publishing a magazine at a time when travel is once again capturing our hearts and sweeping us off our feet,” says editor Natasha Dragun. “There are so many giddy moments to enjoy around the world; let this issue of Vacations & Travel be all the inspiration you need to ignite wanderlust.”
The issue, published by Signature Media, is on sale now in newsagents Australia-wide, available in domestic and international Qantas Lounges, leading hotels and resorts and directly mailed to our loyal subscribers.
