Tourism: State of the Industry 2018–19
https://www.tra.gov.au/Economic-analysis/tourism-industry
Tourism continues to be a driver of growth for the economy. Historically, international visitors have propelled the industry, but it is Australia’s desire to travel around Australia that sees the sector exhibit double-digit growth in value in 2018–19.
Domestic spend exceeded $100 billion for the first time. Australia’s standing in the global top ten for international expenditure – $64.2 billion on outbound trips – demonstrates appetite for travel and considerable capacity to increase domestic travel.
Internationally, Australia is marketed as an aspirational destination with a strong focus on high value travellers. This complements the sustainable intent of Australian tourism – achieving strong economic benefits while managing environmental and social impacts. However, as a long-haul destination for most international markets, the industry is exposed to changing travel trends and the risks of global economic and geopolitical uncertainties.
