Residents of Victoria, Australia have revealed their top overseas holiday destinations, with the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Italy the top three.
The survey, of more than 3,000 RACV members, found that apart from relaxation and enjoyment, Victorians’ top reasons for travel included investigating their ancestry and taking children on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Going for a holiday was the top reason for travelling overseas, nominated by just over 54 per cent.
Another 14 per cent or so travelled to meet family and friends, about 12 per cent travelled for a new experience (and 3.7 per cent travelled for business).
"These results reflect what we see through travel insurance sales, with members of all ages travelling to many different overseas destinations,” said Peter Stanley, RACV’s manager for Travel Insurance.
The survey also showed that most respondents use travel agents, but many also book their own overseas flights and accommodation.
The top 10 overseas destinations for Victorians:
• United Kingdom
• New Zealand
• Italy
• United States
• France
• Canada
• Japan
• Thailand
• Fiji
• Indonesia
