Now these much loved travel articles, reviews and destination guides have a fresh new home online with the launch of Traveller.com.au.

Traveller’s audience research has found that Australians are seeking transparent and credible travel advice and reviews to make informed travel decisions. For the first time, expert travel reviews and insider tips from Fairfax Media’s team of trusted writers sit alongside the latest user reviews from around the world thanks to a unique partnership with the world’s largest travel site, TripAdvisor.

Fairfax’s research into its travel audience also found that 77% of all trips involve online research, 62% of Fairfax’s audience who intend to travel accessed travel content on a mobile device and people visit on average of 13 different websites before booking their trip. Traveller.com.au will inspire Australians’ travel journeys with stories from the country’s most highly regarded travel writers, expert and user reviews, planning tools and the best curated holiday deals.
