US Globetrotters to Head Downunder with Goway as US Dollar Hits 2.5 Year High

US travellers are set to save Downunder with Goway as the US dollar surges against its Australian counterpart.

GLENDALE, Calif. (PRWEB) October 30, 2018

American Globetrotters now have the opportunity to see Australia at a bargain price as the US dollar hits a two-and-a-half-year high against its Downunder counterpart. The Australian dollar has had a tough year against most of the world’s major currencies, but the US dollar has had a particularly strong year against it. In January, one US dollar bought AU$1.23. As of this writing, it now buys an impressive AU$1.41.

While Australia and New Zealand have always been a high value destinations on many a must-see list, they aren’t among the cheapest, particularly in big cities, or in remote regions such as the Australian Outback or New Zealand’s Fjordlands. The current strength of the US dollar levels the playing field somewhat, putting a day on Bondi Beach or an evening watching the sunset light up Uluru within an American visitor’s reach in 2019 – or even sooner. Airfares are also better than ever, with multiple airlines luring passengers across the Pacific on state of the art aircraft at highly competitive rates.

Goway Travel has seen the strength of the US dollar directly impact the price of some of its most popular itineraries. These include the Sydney, Great Barrier Reef and Rock Escape, and for those who enjoy the luxury of rail travel, the Classic Aussie Rail Spectacular. The journey can extend across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand, where the US dollar buys NZ$1.52. With the improved exchange rate in mind, it’s also a great time to consider ‘up-starring’ an Australia or New Zealand vacation, enjoying that 5-star touch that might previously have been just out of reach. Goway’s luxurious Ultimate New Zealand trip for example, is an upgraded trip made more affordable by the shift in rates.

Goway Travel have been the experts in travel Downunder for 48 years, with a wide array of Australia and New Zealand travel offerings including city breaks, Outback adventures, family getaways, active trips, self-drives, and epic rail journeys, along with long-stay, snowbird, and exclusive ‘Live Like a Local’ packages in some of Downunder’s most popular destinations. Globetrotters can opt for an air-inclusive package to minimise planning effort, or let Goway create a uniquely customised itinerary from hundreds of Downunder travel ideas.

Since 1970, Goway has been providing unforgettable travel experiences to Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Central & South America, Idyllic Island destinations and Europe. Today Goway is recognized as one of North America's leading travel companies for individuals, families and groups to select exotic destinations around the globe. Goway has offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Manila, and Sydney, Australia.

Justin Smirk, Research Analyst at Westpac, points out that Australia’s September Quarter CPI printed 0.4%qtr, compared to the market median and Westpac forecast for 0.5%.

*Key Quotes*

“The average of the core measures, which are seasonally adjusted and exclude extreme moves, rose 0.3%qtr meeting our expectations. In the quarter, the trimmed mean gained 0.37% while the weighted median lifted 0.28%. The annual pace of the average of the core measures printed 1.7%yr, a further deceleration from 1.8%yr in Q2 2018 and 2.0% in Q1.”
