Thanks For Making Us #1: Karryon Leads Way As No.1 Travel Industry Site In Australia

We’re thrilled to share the news that karryon.com.au has again topped the charts on Amazon-owned Alexa Rankings as the #1 travel trade website in Australia.

We’re thrilled to share the news that karryon.com.au has again topped the charts on Amazon-owned Alexa Rankings as the #1 travel trade website in Australia.

The latest result is based on the last three months of traffic across all certified sites and shows KARRYON.COM.AU at the top of the table.

As the industry’s youngest player, still having only just turned five years old, we’re especially proud and thankful to YOU, our amazing industry and travel-loving readers who clearly enjoy getting your daily fix on our site and across all of our Social Media channels.

We’re also extremely proud to have held the #1 spot on Facebook for the travel trade in Australia for the last three years, with 29k followers and rising, eclipsing all of the trade for fans, reach and engagement and even pipping consumer Facebook page News Corp’s Escape in the rankings.

Our KARRYON Facebook page now reaches over 1 million people a month on average and it’s been fantastic to see so many agents sharing out our content with your customers. Many of whom are now fans of KARRYON too!

Being a free online publication from day one has helped us immensely with our ranking along with our differentiated, cheeky and entertaining approach, but most of all, listening to you, our wonderful readers about what you want and don’t want on a daily basis has been our biggest learning.

Thank you for your ongoing feedback, warts and all! And we get it-you’re busy enough selling travel so it’s our job to filter out the best, most relevant content for you every day with less of the fluff.

Speaking of the latest Alexa Ranking, Matt Leedham, KARRYON Founder said;

“This news just makes me so incredibly proud and is a testament to all of the team who work so hard every day to make KARRYON happen. Ultimately, our mission is to help make your day a little brighter and arm you with the key insights and knowledge you need to know. If we’re doing that then we’re all happy.”

This month will see the launch of our new KARRYON DESTINATIONS Guide which will showcase global destinations on a mobile-friendly site that agents can of course access anywhere, anytime to help you find new, expert information to pass onto your clients and help you sell more.

We’re kicking off with California with many more destinations to follow.
