Welcome to InDaily’s new travel section – the latest addition to your South Australian-owned, independent news website.

In this section, we’ll bring you travel offerings for South Australians – new routes, fares, offers and packages – as well as news from the local industry.

Our writers will tell stories of their travels in South Australia, interstate and overseas – all told from a local perspective.

Like all of InDaily’s feature sections – food and wine, arts and culture – our primary aim is to provide an independent, South Australian voice.

In a media world of increasing syndication, and an inexorable drift of editorial decision-making to the eastern states, we’ll give you travel from a South Australian view-point.

Here’s what you can expect.

Travel offers: Up-to-date information about new routes from Adelaide, special fares, packages, events and tours around SA, interstate and overseas.

Industry news: The latest news from the tourism industry, including issues, trends, tourist stats and more.

Home town tourist: An ongoing series for South Australians about how to make the most of your state’s travel and leisure opportunities. We’ll have you living like an adventurous traveller in your own home town.

Journeys: First person accounts of travelling in South Australia, interstate and across the world, with the information you need to add one of our destinations to your itinerary.

I hope you enjoy this new section.

Today, Barossa-raised journalist Candice Keller takes our first journey – to a magical but mostly undiscovered southern Italian city.

Later, we’ll sample Israeli food in Paris and offer our top five food and wine destinations in South Australia’s regions.

We’re always open to our readers’ suggestions – jump into comments below or send us an email.
