The top chalet stays as Aussies' favourite accommodation options

The unprecedented events of 2020 have led to Aussies rediscovering a love for local travel. New research from Booking.com looks into just how much travel has changed this year, and some of the surprising undiscovered gems Aussies across the country are now picking for their next holiday.

When it comes to accommodation choice, Aussies interestingly favoured chalets this year, followed by camping stays, indicating a rise in ski trips and bush escapes from the end of 2019.
