Younger Australians, while optimistic about their financial prospects, prioritise immediate cost-of-living concerns, notably fuel prices, when making travel decisions.

Interest rates now play a pronounced role in travel planning, reflecting heightened financial awareness.

The event, structured as a 4-ball Ambrose, promises golfing fun accessible to all skill levels. At $100 per person, the fee covers golf costs, team carts, and a hearty breakfast and lunch orchestrated

CIAA’s Stuart Lamont said that amid the challenges remained the enduring appeal of caravan and camping holidays.

The report reveals that Aussies are opting for budget-friendly holiday alternatives, with 29 per cent of respondents planning to increase their holidays this year, a manifestation of the desire to indulge despite economic constraints.

Given cost pressures, the significance of domestic tourism, particularly in the caravan and camping sector, is accentuated, Mr Lamont said.
