The fires in Australia have been top of mind for many clients. While reports have been devastating it’s difficult to show the fires to scale on a map. What’s not difficult to see is just how large the continent is when compared to the US, that is shown to scale in the photo below provided by the Australian Government.
While not to diminish the severity of the fires even heavily hit, Kangaroo Island, off the southern coast still has regular ferry service delivering visitors daily. Sadly, the most popular resort for our clients on the island, the Southern Ocean Lodge was a complete loss, but promises to rebuild have already been released. You may be wondering just how you can help. As with many natural disasters the role of a traveler is to bring revenue back to the region. With a country as large and diverse as Australia you could plan an itinerary that would bypass the impacted areas and still provide relief just by visiting, supporting the local economy and encouraging people to visit when you return. It’s the very definition of our #VacationForGood program here at Slaydon’s Travel. Have you always wanted to see the Great Barrier reef for yourself? Let’s start planning your itinerary. Do you want to see a show at the Sydney Opera House or climb the iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge? There is no reason you can’t! By the time we get your plans in place the city will be ready for you. Currently air quality is a bit low, but let’s face it, you aren’t going to plan a trip like this for next week. Most clients utilize a 9-12 month planning window for destinations such as Australia.
