While there’s a lot in the news that may cause extra anxiety for Canadian travellers planning upcoming trips, leading travel agency Goway is helping to alleviate travel stress with their recommendations for top destinations to stretch your dollar this year, below for your editorial consideration.

Australia & New Zealand

  • Down under in Australia, explore iconic sites, sparkling coastline, and wild outback. With an exchange rate around $1 CAD to $1.12 AUD, Australia offers an economical escape for Canadian travellers.
  • While flights are often the most expensive part of the trip, once in New Zealand, visitors can enjoy an exchange rate around $1 CAD to $1.24 NZD, strong purchasing power, and a high standard of goods and services in this sub-tropical destination.

Africa

  • Take a bucket list trip back to ancient times in Egypt. In the past year, Goway has seen a 250% increase in bookings for this North African destination, and with a conversion rate of around $1 CAD to 35 EGP, there’s no better time to explore.
  • In Tanzania, hit the bars, restaurants, and beaches in Zanzibar or shop in Arusha while taking advantage of an exchange rate around $1 CAD to 1,790 TZS. While safaris remain a higher-ticket item, Canadians can enjoy low prices on most of the country’s city experiences.
  • With a stable cost of living and currency, South Africa is a surprisingly affordable vacation for Canadian tourists. In the country, travellers can tour bustling cities, taste local wines, and spot big game in the wild on a safari tour while enjoying a conversion rate around $1 CAD to 13 ZAR.

Asia

  • Unwind at the beach in Bali, discover the temples in Java, or spot fascinating wildlife on Komodo Island in Indonesia. Between a 300 million Euro infrastructure deal with the Netherlands and an exchange rate around $1 CAD to 11,300 IDR, Canadian visitors can enjoy a seemingly discounted tropical vacation while exploring the country’s unique culture.
  • Japan’s delayed post-pandemic inflation has created favorable conditions for Canadians hoping to explore the country. With an exchange rate of $1 to around 106 JPY, cheap food, and reliable public transit, visitors will be surprised by how far they can stretch their dollar.
  • In spite of the country’s recent developments, Vietnam remains a low cost destination for Canadian vacationers. With an exchange rate around $1 CAD to 17,700 VND, tourists can upgrade their trips with surprisingly cheap luxury experiences or accommodations and enjoy delicious food and drinks for shockingly low prices.

Reaching over 115 destinations, travelers can book with one of Goway’s Destination Specialists who are true experts, having lived, worked, or traveled extensively in the destinations offered and providing 24-hour service.
