Fiji chosen by families as safest Aussie family destination.
An exclusive online poll of Aussie families conducted by the family travel magazine Out & About With Kids says that when asked about the safest holiday destination, 26% of respondents chose Fiji, 20% Vanuatu and 15% the UK, with the United States coming in at a paltry 12 percent.
The survey also reveals 59% Out & About With Kids readers think Bali is still unsafe, almost six years after the bombings which devastated the popular tourist haunt.
