If you've been dreaming of a holiday for the future, you're not alone. According to the latest Holiday Tracking Survey from Roy Morgan Research, holiday intention in Australia is now at a five-year high.

The results for the March 2014 quarter reveal 72 per cent of Australians are planning to take a holiday within the next 12 months. This equates to around 13.9 million people in total, and is much higher than the 67 per cent result recorded from the same quarter last year.

Medical research in Australia will receive a boost with news of a $11.4 million grant in Federal Government funding to be presented to Australian researchers.

While this is an undesirable prospect, it's no reason to call off your plans for a much-deserved holiday - instead, you will need to take a few measures to ensure your belongings are as safe as possible.
