The move comes just months after ALDI entered the insurance sector, which includes policies for home and contents insurance, comprehensive car insurance and landlord’s insurance.

“We are excited to be taking off in a new direction to make planning and booking a holiday a more enjoyable experience for Australians and in our signature, Good Different way with ALDI Holidays,” ALDI Australia group director, Rodney Balech, said.

“With ALDI Holidays, we’re bringing our Special Buys to the skies, offering savvy travellers premium holiday options. From budget-friendly bliss to extravagant escapes, there are different levels of luxury for every keen explorer.”

ALDI has partnered with Australian travel advertisers Ignite Travel, and in a similar way to ALDI’s bi-weekly Special Buys, there will be a limited number of exclusive holiday deals, which will be available until sold out.
