Cost, conflict & climate: The forces reshaping how Australians travel

This year's Future of Travel report explores how rising costs, housing affordability, global conflict, and climate change are reshaping travel decisions—highlighting a generational divide and a continued passion for adventure and new experiences. 

 

 

We found travel is still a priority for many Australians, but how we do it is changing

How we uncovered the future of travel for Australians

The Future of Travel report uncovers how Australians are adapting their travel habits in 2025.

In partnership with research agency YouGov, Southern Cross Travel Insurance surveyed more than 1,000 Australians to explore how rising costs, global uncertainty, and changing priorities are shaping Australians’ travel choices.  

The research, conducted in November 2024, explores shifting priorities, evolving travel behaviours, and the increasing need for travel protection.  

As more and more Australians choose SCTI, we’re committed to supporting travellers on every journey—now and in the future.
