Go Golfing will invest more than $48,000 to cover new Departure Tax for Aussie travellers as the Federal Government confirms Passenger Movement Charge will increase $10 to $80 per passenger from 1 January 2027.
The PMC, applied to all passengers departing Australia by air or sea, is typically built into ticket prices, with airlines expected to pass the increase directly onto travellers. This change is set to add to the overall cost of international travel, as demand for overseas trips continues to grow.
In response, Go Golfing. Australia’s largest and most awarded golf travel company has announced they will cover the $80 departure tax for its customers.
Established 31 years, Go Golfing host golf tournaments, golf tours and golf cruises for club golfers and operates in 34 countries.
“We know travel costs have increased. This ‘departure tax’ is just another cost Australians are being asked to absorb,” Go Golfings founder Peter McCarthy said. “So we’ve decided to take care of it for our golf travellers.”
How to claim
- Travellers simply need to book any 2027 Go Golfing international golf tour before 31 December 2026, and the company will cover the $80 Passenger Movement Charge on their behalf.
