Down Under Answers Offers Last Chance to Escape Winter at Bargain Prices
BELLEVUE, Wash.—(October 4, 2010)— Winter in the U.S. means summer in Australia. Down Under Answers has extended their “I Love Aussie” Australia vacation packages (www.duatravel.com/luvpr) for another 15 days, giving last-minute travelers a chance to trade in the cold for the warmth of the sun.
These limited-time offers are good for travel between October 11, 2010 and November 23, 2010, and from January 30, 2011 to March 22, 2011, with the option to travel until March 31, 2011. The “I Love Aussie 2” offer expires October 15, 2010.
It takes seasoned pros like Down Under Answers (www.duatravel.com) to know how to navigate the vastness of the world’s smallest continent. The 10 vacation packages of the “I Love Aussie” program are designed to take advantage of Australia in the best ways that time and money will allow.
According to the Australia Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism, Americans shell out an average of $4,622 for an Australia vacation package. Even Down Under Answer’s $2,999 package, an 11-night extravaganza that takes you to Sydney, Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley and Port Douglas, is $1,600 less than the average tour.
This same report also found that 62 percent of all visitors to Australia and the Great Barrier Reef were returning visitors. Why would so many people return to the ends of the earth? Down Under Answers knows why.
Kirk Demeter, DUA president, knows how daunting it can be to plan a vacation a world away. “Down Under Answers takes the complications out of planning a vacation to Australia. We know where to go, how to book and we can do it the most affordable way for the traveler. We can find the most affordable rates. ”
For example, DUA’s package to Sydney and Cairns includes four nights in each destination, allowing travelers ample time to enjoy everything both fantastic cities have to offer. Take in a show at the iconic Sydney Opera House, or tour the historic harbor. Then move up the coast to Cairns, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the lush Daintree Rainforest. This air- and land-inclusive package starts at $1,449 (per person, based on double occupancy) with guests able to upgrade to four- or five-star hotels for just $180 more -- a savings of $1300.
Other offerings include:
- Sydney, Cairns & Melbourne (12-night air and land inclusive, from $1,749 per person/double occupancy). Walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, snorkel over the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, and dine at an award-winning restaurant in Melbourne.
