AIRBNB is making strong gains on “traditional” tourism accommodation such as hotels, despite the legality of the short-term rentals remaining unclear.

MELBOURNE may be the world’s most liveable city, but these tourists beg to differ.

YOU’VE done all the right things ... booked your flights well in advanced, secured your accommodation, arranged your visas and made sure you were at the airport with plenty of time to check in.

GONE are the days when all you expected on a cruise ship was a deck chair, cocktail hour and a sexy legs competition. These days sailing the high seas is full on sensory overload.

WHEN it comes to work, nothing is as grim as having a burning desire for a holiday break but hardly any annual leave days in the tank.
