3. Exchange rates are at a 5-year high.

While we’re experiencing inflation in North America, our friends Downunder are experiencing the opposite! For example, if we take the Big Mac as a point of reference, in Australia, you will pay AU $7.55, which equates to US $4.75, which is 15% cheaper than we pay here. For cappuccinos, you’d pay AU $4.40, which equates to US $2.52, roughly half of what you pay here. On top of all this, Australia and New Zealand are non-tipping cultures, and tax is already included in the price.

4. New air routes make it easier to fly Downunder.

Flight capacity is finally returning back to 2019 levels and there are even some new routes being introduced to the North American market. With so many carriers heading on this popular route, the price of airfares is normalizing. Even better, your clients can enjoy the latest state-of-the-art aircrafts, making the journey very comfortable. Hop on the plane, enjoy a meal and a movie, have a sleep, and wake up in Australia or New Zealand!

5. Australia and New Zealand are very safe.

Both Australia and New Zealand are among the safest and most welcoming countries in the world. During a time of global conflict, rest assured that your clients will be safe in these countries and enjoy a hearty welcome from the locals. 

6. Australia and New Zealand are great destinations for the North American winter.

It’s easy to forget that North American winter is Australian and Kiwi summer, which means that both countries offer warm escapes when many Americans and Canadians experience cold and snowy conditions. Australia in particular is a great beach destination, with almost 12,000 beaches along its 37,000 mi / 60,000 km coastline. If you visited one per day, it would take you more than 32 years to visit them all!

7. Goway has been selling trips to Australia and New Zealand for over 50 years.

Goway’s Founder and President Bruce Hodge is the travel industry’s own Crocodile Dundee. While the popular 1986 film with Paul Hogan made Australia famous with Hollywood audiences, Bruce Hodge made Australia famous in the North American travel industry, as he worked tirelessly to share the wonders of Australia with American and Canadian travellers. Since 1970, we haven’t lost sight of Bruce’s vision for being the number one to Downunder. And the industry has noticed. There’s a reason we keep winning awards for our expertise on all things Downunder.

Fall 2023 is a great time to help your clients book an unforgettable trip to Australia and New Zealand. Get a free quote today and let’s make some memories in these beautiful nations.
