Our PM has requested of Aussies that we “ditch American products and buy local goods”.
One easy way we can do this is with booking accommodation, because all travel apps are American.
These include Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com, Expedia, Wotif, Trivago, Trip Advisor and Trip.com amongst others.
All a prospective traveller has to do is Google the area required and book direct with listed accommodation for a stay.
This means Uncle Sam doesn’t get a slice of the booking fee.
Most places offer a tourist Information web site, and can advise as to specific requests.
Happy holidays while helping Australia.

Sorry Jeremy but this is factually incorrect. Many of the companies you reference are headquartered in places like the Netherlands, Germany or China and are subject to corporation tax in those jurisdictions.
