UK travellers are leading the way in booking the highest number of trips to Australia, as the destination prepares to reopen its border next week.

From 17 April, fully vaccinated visitors will no longer need to show a negative pre-departure test result

Australia is to start allowing fully vaccinated international tourists to enter the country again on Monday (21 February), after a gap of nearly two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Figures from travel technology supplier Travelport showed international flight bookings to Australia rose by 93% in the week after the Australian government announced its plan to reopen the border.
