December 18, 2017: One of the top travel hot spots for 2018 is Australia — some tour operators, like Expedia, are up 35% over past years selling visits to the vast country — about 9,500 miles from the US. It’s a very long flight from the US and most experienced travel folks say to plan for two and make 3-5 stops — depending on your stamina. Tour programs start at $1,700 and move upward depending on how much luxury or private attention you require.
- Expedia is a good place to start your travel shopping
- Trafalgar sells programs in the mid-price range
- Hilton Smith (Affiliated with TravelStore) can handle the upscale end along with Abrocombie — one of the best upper scale tour operators with programs to just about everywhere.
You might even venture out to Whitsundays Islands as part of your visit!
