WITH the school holidays approaching, families across the Redlands and Bayside are starting to think about their next getaway.

For the team at Helloworld Travel Capalaba, it’s an exciting time of year and families are already looking at everything from easy Queensland escapes to overseas adventures.

According to the experienced team at Helloworld Travel Capalaba, Australian holidays continue to be a popular choice for families.

The Gold Coast remains a favourite, offering the perfect combination of theme parks, beaches and family-friendly activities.

The Sunshine Coast is another popular option for those wanting a relaxing coastal break, while Cairns and Tropical North Queensland provide families with the opportunity to experience the Great Barrier Reef, rainforest and some of Queensland’s most spectacular scenery.

For families wanting to explore further afield, destinations such as Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania are also attracting plenty of interest.

These destinations offer something for all ages, from wildlife and sightseeing to food, culture and outdoor adventures.

International travel is also firmly back on the family holiday wish list.

New Zealand continues to be a favourite because of its stunning scenery, outdoor activities and relatively easy access from Australia.

Bali remains popular with families looking for resort-style holidays, swimming pools and plenty of activities, while Japan is increasingly appealing to families looking for a completely different cultural experience.

The team is also noticing that families are looking beyond the traditional hotel-and-flight holiday.

Cruises, family resorts, self-drive adventures, escorted tours and multi-destination itineraries are becoming increasingly popular.

Families want to make the most of their precious holiday time and create experiences that everyone will remember.

One of the most important pieces of advice is to plan early, particularly when travelling during school holiday periods.

Popular flights, accommodation and attractions can fill quickly and having an experienced travel professional help organise the details can make the entire process much easier.

For local families planning their next school holiday, Helloworld Travel Capalaba is a great place to start.

With experienced travel consultants who understand family travel and can help with everything from flights and accommodation to cruises, tours and complete holiday packages, a visit to Helloworld Travel Capalaba could be the first step towards turning holiday plans into a memorable family adventure.
