Getaway is Australia's longest-running travel television program. Debuting on 14 May 1992, it is currently broadcast on the Nine Network and TLC. Its main competitor was The Great Outdoors on the Seven Network until 2009.
A New Zealand version of the program, with some local content, was previously broadcast on TV One and Prime TV.
The first season only looked at only Australian resorts and locations, but by 1993 had expanded to look at overseas destinations.
Getaway won a People's Choice Award in 1994 and an Australian Tourism Award for Excellence in the Media in 1995.
Getaway has also been nominated for the Most Popular Lifestyle Program Logie Award at the Logie Awards of 2003, 2004 and 2005, each time being beaten by Backyard Blitz. It was also nominated at the Logie Awards of 1999 and nominated as the Favourite Lifestyle Program at the Australian People Choice Awards of 1999.
