when was the last time you traveled or visit places like Far Australia?....if you haven't,then its time for us to do so this summer, at least to be away from home for a while...??....
whether you've been there or not, my main reason for this post is give you gist about the revenues from some of the tourist centers in Australia,to also give you some hints and names that would be helpful pending the time you want to visit the place!
Well,for now i want to talk about the best among Australian tourism so that you would know which is best for you even while you're still planning your journey
According to Australia Tourism Research Australia’s National Visitor Survey, the result showed domestic tourism to be in good shape, generating more than $1 billion a day!!!!..think thats BIG!!!
As at last year,report has it that,MORE Australians visited Victoria than Queensland and considerably fewer made the trip across Bass Strait to Tasmania.While Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia scored the strongest growth in visitors, with numbers increasing between 6 and 9 per cent.
While Nationally, domestic tourism grew by 5 per cent, mostly as a result of people travelling to visit family or friends.
But in all these,Queensland recorded a modest 1 per cent rise, while Tasmania suffered a 5 per cent drop in visitors, and an 8 per cent fall in expenditure.
Although Victoria attracted more visitors than Queensland (19.6 million compared with 18 million), those who travelled to the Sunshine state stayed longer and spent more money.
Tim Quinn from Tourism Research Australia said the lift in expenditure across the board was good but the industry needed to be mindful of “lost opportunities”.
“While the domestic tourism sector is the industry’s bread and butter, Australians’ preference for overseas holidays continues,” said Mr Quinn.
Tourism and Transport Forum acting chief executive Trent Zimmerman said the results emphasised the importance of continued government investment in tourism infrastructure.
