Beautiful Aussie homestays for you and your pet, you’d be barking mad not to book

Research from Booking.com has revealed that one quarter (25%) of travellers plan to choose their next adventure or stay based on how pet-friendly it is. With travel in 2021 becoming a much more appreciated experience given recent events, as well as the huge increase in pet owners (RSPCA noted an increase of 45 per cent in dog adoptions during COVID last year), we know travellers are seeking accommodations to satisfy all their needs - and this means bringing fluffy family members too! Almost a quarter (24%) of even admit that if they aren’t able to bring along their pet it will affect whether they book their accommodation.*

Luke Wilson, Area manager of Booking.com Australia, said “With international travel not an option in 2021, now more than ever is a fantastic opportunity to holiday at home in Australia - whilst taking your pets along for the journey. Our research shows there is an appetite amongst Australians to enjoy holiday experiences with their pets, with nearly a quarter of all travellers locally wanting to bring pets along on their next holiday.
