2012 was a record year for international travel, and experts expect that trend to continue in 2013. This is the perfect time to start planning a holiday to some awesome locations around the globe. There are some great travel deals available now, as well as discounts on travel insurance to help make sure your holiday is a great one.

One of the many places which I consider to be a definite “go to” place is the great continent of Australia. Australia, the smallest continent in the world, just happens to be the world’s biggest island. There’s no shortage of things to do and places to see, from the sprawling Bondi Beach, to scuba diving off the Great Barrier Reef.

There are ghost tours, the Mardi Gras in Sydney, and theme parks dot the island. But before you get too excited, there are a few tips to share with you to help you plan for a safe, adventurous and fun holiday time.

• You will have to have a passport and visa to travel to Australia. A visitor’s visa lasts for three months so it’s perfect for holiday travel.

 

• Get travel insurance! Always protect yourself against the unexpected. Lost luggage, cancelled flights and illness are just a couple of things that can throw your plans off course. Travel insurance is there for you if those things were to occur.

 

• Take advantage of free phone apps like Places Directory to help you navigate your way about.

 

• Book your flight at least a month in advance in order to get steep discounts on airline tickets.

 

• Local hotels have great discount packages for longer stays booked early. Get the best deals by booking early.

Once you get to Australia, here are some tips that may sound simple but are very important.

• Stay safe by staying aware. Australia is a beautiful place, but it can be dangerous, especially when you’re hiking in the outback. There are many dangerous animals to watch out for, so stay on alert and follow posted safety guidelines.

 

• The sunny beaches are to die for, but remember the sun’s rays can pack quite the bite over an extended time, so pack plenty of sun-tan lotion.

I hope these few tips help to make your holiday travels safe and fun. Enjoy Australia!
