Tis’ the season for a sale… An Australian Travel Sale
The after Christmas sales traditionally signify cheap electrical items, discounted clothing and homewares so cheap
they almost find their own way to your house, this sale season Australian holidays have been added to the agenda
with the ‘Win the Work/Life Battle with Australia on Sale’ campaign starting on Sunday the 27th of December.
Running in partnership with Tourism Australia and Sunlover Holidays the ‘Win the Work/Life Battle with Australia on
Sale’ campaign is encouraging Australians not to stockpile their annual leave in 2010 by having their holidays
booked before the working year begins.
Sunlover Holidays Managing Director Mark Campbell says that after Christmas shoppers are looking for cheap deals
and bargains and that this year they can confidently add travel bargains to their shopping list.
“At this time of year many people start mapping out the year ahead and normally creating a work/life balance and
planning future holidays are high on the agenda, so we’ve been ruthless in putting together this campaign which
consists of 177 exclusive Australia-wide travel deals including savings of up to 45%,” Mr Campbell said.
“It’s no secret that Australian’s are on the back foot when taking leave, Tourism Australia’s No Leave, No Life
research shows that one in four Australian’s stockpile their holidays resulting in 123 million unused leave days, we’re
hoping that the great deals in this campaign help make holidays a priority for 2010,” he said.
Mr Campbell added that the campaign deals were selected with the modern holidaymakers’ desires in mind.
“A recent survey of our customers found that 50% of travellers are looking for discounted deals and special offers
when travelling within Australia, it comes as no surprise that our free night packages are among the top performers
of the year,” he said.
All accommodation deals in the ‘Win the Work/Life Battle with Australia on Sale’ campaign include bonus free nights
from ‘stay 7 pay 5’ to ‘stay 3 pay 2’ accommodation deals.
“During our post Christmas sale travellers will be able to snap up bargains such as three nights in Tropical North
Queensland from $85 per person twin share, three nights in the Sydney from $155 per person twin share and three
nights in Melbourne’s CBD from $149 per person twin share,” Mr Campbell said.
All of the deals in the ‘Win the Work/Life Battle with Australia on Sale’ campaign are valid for sale from the 27th of
December until the 30th of January and the majority are valid for travel until the end of June 2010.
