Australian Walking Holidays has announced a series of guaranteed departures on several of its most popular adventures, giving travellers certainty when planning their Australian winter travel and the confidence to secure flights early. To further support travellers seeking flexibility and reassurance, the company has also introduced a $0 deposit offer on selected trips and departures, allowing travellers to secure their place now and confirm plans later.
Guaranteed departures include some of the company’s most sought-after Australian journeys, such as the Larapinta End to End, Classic Larapinta Trek in Comfort, Best of the Larapinta Trail and the Snowies Alpine Walk, along with Tasmanian favourites including the Flinders Island Walking Adventure – In Comfort and The Overland Track.
The announcement comes at a time when rising fuel and food prices are increasing operating costs across the travel industry. In an uncertain economic climate it would not be unusual for travel companies to delay confirming departures until trips reach full capacity.
Australian Walking Holidays has taken a different approach.
Part of the World Expeditions Travel Group, the Australian-owned adventure travel company has confirmed a number of departures months in advance, responding to strong enquiry levels and growing demand for small group adventures.
“In the current climate of global instability, travellers are increasingly looking for reassurance and the ability to book with confidence,” said Phil Wyndham, General Manager of Australian Walking Holidays. “In uncertain times it is nice to know some things remain guaranteed, which is why we have locked in departures on some of our most loved Australian walks.”
“The introduction of our $0 deposit offer is another way we are supporting travellers, giving them the flexibility to secure a place on a trip without an upfront commitment, while they finalise their plans.”
With fuel costs continuing to influence airfares, Australian Walking Holidays is encouraging travellers to secure flights sooner rather than later, particularly for popular winter departures.
The $0 deposit offer applies to selected trips and departures and is designed to give travellers additional planning flexibility. Eligible departures are clearly marked on the relevant trip pages. Bookings can be held for up to 30 days or until the final balance due date (whichever comes first) without a deposit.
For travellers seeking certainty in uncertain times, Australian Walking Holidays’ guaranteed departures, now paired with increased booking flexibility, mean one less thing to worry about and one more adventure to look forward to.
