The Australian Retirement Travel Survey
Australian Retirement Trust commissioned YouGov research into how Australians imagine travelling in retirement. The survey found strong demand for slower, domestic travel while highlighting the financial and health barriers standing in the way, giving the super fund a timely news hook around retirement readiness.
Why it worked: Commissioned, nationally weighted YouGov data tied retirement wanderlust to cost‑of‑living anxiety, creating a timely, stats‑backed angle journalists could localize.
The lesson: Consider commissioning a quick, reputable poll that quantifies a feel‑good aspiration against a hard constraint, then pitch the tension by region.
