Tourists planning a visit to the Bundaberg region of Australia have the option of first buying
worldwide travel insurance.
A series of new hostels could be built in Bundaberg in a bid to encourage more people to visit the area and raise its national profile.
Local businesses have responded positively to the plans as a potential influx of visitors could increase the number of people looking for work in the local area.
Backpackers often look to secure seasonal work for a few days, weeks or even months while they save up to travel to their next destination and businesses in the Bundaberg area sometimes struggle to find a suitable workforce.
If the hostel developments proceed, Bundaberg will offer nearly 800 additional beds that could work to provide an extra pull, encouraging people to visit.
Many people travelling on a budget aim for hostel accommodation as it tends to be easier on the finances as well as offering opportunities to meet likeminded travellers.
Cheap travel insurance could be handy for communal environments that hostels offer.
