International travellers are being urged to speak to their travel agent about payment options, after some providers increased the price of existing bookings in the wake of United States tariff announcements.
Following US tariff announcements in April, some global travel suppliers increased their booking costs by 6% or more in an attempt to shield themselves from currency fluctuations as the Australian dollar fell.
In some cases, Australian travellers saw the price of deposited (but yet to be fully paid) trips increase by thousands of dollars without notice, as major suppliers adjusted the price of existing bookings.
Meanwhile, other suppliers chose not to pass on currency fluctuation changes.
The price increases were mostly reversed when the US tariffs were paused, but many suppliers’ terms and conditions are explicit that future price rises are possible.
It’s prompted RAA Travel to alert holidaymakers their booking price may be subject to change.
RAA Chief Executive Officer Nick Reade said the investment in Curtis Road and commitment to the Adelaide Hills Freight Bypass would ultimately help to improve road safety and reduce congestion.
“Curtis Road was top of the list in RAA’s recent Risky Roads survey, and the removal of the level crossing, together with previously announced roundabout at Heaslip Road will go some way to improving that road,” Mr Reade said.
