WHY MANY ARE CUTTING BACK ON TRAVEL

AUSTRALIANS are rethinking travel. An Insure&Go survey of 1,009 people found 66% will cut back or seek cheaper options, with 47% locking in airfare sales, 30% chasing bundled deals and 20% booking last-minute. While two-thirds prioritise price, many also value flexibility and inclusions like meals or tours. Domestic costs are rising too, with airfares up 13.7% and accommodation 5.3%. Insure&Go advises travellers not to compromise on insurance despite tighter budgets.

The campaign aims to create psychologically safe communities through education, policies, and a statement of intent promoting respect at meetings. Many managers support the initiative, noting abuse comes from a minority but change is overdue.
