Tourism creates more than half a million jobs in Australia, with a very significant share of these jobs in regional areas. Australia receives 5 - 6 million visitors each year, and the Top 5 markets are New Zealand, the UK, Japan, USA and China. 50 - 60% travel here for a holiday, 20% visit friends and relatives, and 13% visit on business. Nearly 10% of international visitors are classified as backpackers. They stay 2 months in Australia, compared to 3 weeks as an average for other visitors. The majority of domestic visitors in Australia choose to travel within
their own state, which helps explain why NSW accounts for 30% of all domestic
visitor nights.
Tourism Australia describes many international visitors to Australia as "Experience Seekers" and here is what they will find: > Aboriginal Australia - sharing the world's most ancient living culture, expressed through art, story telling, dance music and the land itself. > Nature in Australia - In addition to the natural wonder of the Great Barrier Reef, we have vast wilderness and natural beauty in the red sandy deserts, the green rainforest, the white beaches and the blue oceans. > The Outback - Experience the vast open spaces, the local communities, the cattle stations and the people of outback Australia. > Coastal Australia - in addition to the surf and the sand, our coastal lifestyle is a way of living. A diverse, uncrowded and unspoilt experience to remember. > Food & wine - inspired by fresh natural produce and experienced in stunning locations around the country. From wine tasting in the Barossa or WA to the traditional BBQ on the beach. > The major cities - are so much more than the Sydney Opera House or the great sporting events in Melbourne. Make sure to experience the multicultural precincts, the shops, theatres and bars that go with it. > Australian journeys - get on a bus or hire a car. Experience seekers should set aside several weeks to see the countryside, the red desert and the Australian wilderness.
