Australians are embracing international travel but industry experts say lingering memories about COVID-19 restrictions have changed the way we book holidays.

Eliza Reid did not waste any time booking her first international holiday in years when the federal government announced its timeline for re-opening Australia's border.There has been a surge in holiday bookings but departures from Australia are far from pre-pandemic levelsNavigating travel after COVID-19 restrictions has led to renewed interest in travel agencies"We would have loved to travel earlier, but thought mid-2022 would be safest," Ms Reid said.

Australian Federation of Travel Agents chief executive Dean Long said lingering concerns that COVID-19 restrictions could re-emerge were behind a major change to the way people plan their trips. Mr Long said travel hesitancy was steering many people into a travel agency because they were seeking help navigating the new travel world.

More Australians are willing to book an overseas trip, despite travel insurance not covering border closures. Mr Bird warned travellers using an agent should not automatically accept the insurance policy suggested to them.
