Dreaming about your next holiday? Need a getaway to look forward to? Many of us have been affected by the spate of the latest COVID-19 restrictions and – once again – have had to cancel or postpone our trips.
The splendour of Kangaroo Island.
While the hospitality industry (along with many others) is feeling the negative impact, providers understand the situation whereby Australians are unable to travel at present. In most instances, airlines, transport companies and accommodation outlets will put the package in credit or offer a refund. I have been lucky to be able to do so.
We may not be able to travel for now, but there are some great holiday bargains worth looking into, doing research and taking virtual tours of the destination. Here’s a small selection.
