TRAVEL HOTSPOTS IN AUSTRALIA: WANAKA EDITION
A majority of people love to travel across the globe. Seeing different lands, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and exploring new palates is more fun than it sounds. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many country road lovers are forced to stay at home and live out their travel dreams by revisiting old travel diaries.
Australian tourism was massive before the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost 9.4 million visitors came to enjoy the Australian sands in 2019. Overseas travel is also restricted, meaning Aussies are bereft of travel just as much as the others. However, one can now enjoy their own country in heightened splendour through resorts and hotels like the Wanaka Accom! Nothing ever beats exploring the brilliant scenery of New Zealand to beat the heat, right?
As wild as it sounds, nobody would have explored their country entirely because it is their home ground. But Australia has so much more to offer other than beaches and steak outback houses! With state-of-the-art resorts and ski grounds, places like the Wanaka Accom offer truly impeccable experiences for your travel diaries!
