Back to EpisodesEaster Travel Scrapped as Fuel Prices Skyrocket
Description
Skyrocketing fuel prices and shortages in Australia, due to the Middle East conflict, are disrupting Easter travel plans. Regional areas are hit hardest, with many service stations running dry. Tourism groups anticipate a surge in overnight visitors, but everyday Aussies are canceling road trips due to high costs. Tourism leaders are urging the government to prioritize fuel for holiday routes, while some travelers are adapting by mapping fuel stops or choosing shorter drives. Despite softening demand, bookings remain decent, with Easter serving as a crucial test amid ongoing aviation issues and high fuel costs.
