Rising Fuel Costs Make Escorted Coach Touring Even Better Value
There is no escaping that the rising price of fuel means that both driving and flying is becoming more and more expensive.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that “soaring petrol prices were rated the highest consumer concern, replacing terrorism, the health system and the environment”. Moreover, a recent totaltravel.com report found that four in five Australians were changing their holiday plans because of high fuel prices.
Les Cox, managing director of AAT Kings said, “I predict that the recent increases in fuel prices will encourage more travellers to choose a coach tour over a self drive holiday. This will be a particular trend for holiday makers considering visiting the outback, as the vast driving distances can burn through tanks and tanks of expensive petrol.
“Self drive holiday makers already need to factor in parking and motor tolls to their holiday budgets as well as battling through peak hour traffic in unfamiliar cities. The recent increase in fuel prices is just one more factor encouraging them to book an escorted holiday instead.”
All AAT Kings brochured tour prices are guaranteed once a customer has paid their deposit so there is no need for travellers to worry about increases or surcharges, unlike the ever increasing service station prices.
Coach touring is already a great value inclusive product, as it includes all transport, accommodation, many meals, and sightseeing and services of tour director and driver, and as petrol prices continue to soar, coach touring will become an even more attractive option for Australian travellers.
AAT Kings is the premier holiday operator specialising in Australia and New Zealand. AAT Kings’ product range offers travellers freedom and flexibility with a wide range of escorted tours, short breaks, 4WD adventures, camping adventures and day tour programs.
