As a member of Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA ), we're calling on the Australian Government to change the travel advisory for Middle Eastern airports from Level 4 "Do Not Travel" to Level 3 "Reconsider your need to travel".

At the current Level 4, Australians have significantly less rights with their travel insurance whilst transiting through airports in the Middle East. Downgrading the advisory level makes sense given an airside transit of a couple of hours carries a fundamentally different risk to a holiday in-country.

Its time for Australia to follow countries, including UK, Germany and France, by aligning our advisory to Level 3, allowing Australians to transit through Middle Eastern airports to Europe, India and Africa with confidence.

Get in touch with us, your ATIA-accredited travel agency, to plan your next European holiday.

Travel enquiries to the US has really dropped off, for a variety of reasons - one being the political divide that we see every night on the news.

Do your political views affect where you travel? Would you travel to the US right now?

I was asked to comment about travel to the US by Karryon: Together In Travel

Fewer Australians continue to travel to the United States, recently released American government data has revealed, with US travel down around 8 per cent to start the year.

This is probably the best explanation of the new UK dual citizen entry rules..

This new rule effects anyone who was born in the UK or had a parent born in the UK.

Think you know what I book? Think again! Sure, Europe’s a fave, especially Greece, but I’ve got a whole world of destinations and experiences up my sleeve. Here’s a sneak peek at what I’m currently planning for clients. I love the variety.
