travmedia.com: "1 In 5 Travellers Prefer Trailfinders 14 Jun 04

In 2003, a staggering 20% of all travellers from the UK to Australia made their travel arrangements through Trailfinders. According to The Australian Tourist Commission over 675,000 Britons visited Australia last year and of those, 1 in 5 chose to travel with Trailfinders.

Long gone are the days when the company was thought of as a flight-only specialist. Although the company began as the UK�s first flight consolidator, it now operates out of 18 travel centres across the UK, Ireland and Australia, selling everything from hotels to car hire, tours to cruises. In fact Trailfinders has booked over 107,000 hotel room nights in Australia alone in the last year.

Whilst the company has expanded to sell holidays to virtually anywhere worldwide, Australia still remains one of its most popular destinations, with Sydney topping the list of �most booked destination� for 2003. Perhaps helping it to become one of the UK�s largest operators to Australia is the fact that each of its� clients gets AU$100 worth of travel vouchers that can be used towards payment of a huge range of local tours booked through any of their Australian travel centres.
