Aussie’s Abroad
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website Smartraveller has published the results of an interesting survey recently which found that in the last year Australians took around 10.7 million trips overseas! Not only are we travelling more but a survey they conducted over the last two years has shown that we’re also feeling more blasè about safety with around 10% of people travelling to South East Asia – presumably to buy Bin-Tang singlets – are leaving the country without travel insurance!
Deborah Edwards, an associate professor at UTS Business School, joined us to find out what might be behind this wanderlust.
