Domestic tourism grows
New figures released by Tourism Research Australia show domestic overnight travel saw growth in the year to September 2011 and in the September quarter, with overnight trips up four per cent for both periods. Data from Tourism Research Australia’s National Visitor Survey (taken before the Qantas grounding) show nights were unchanged for the year while visitor nights rose three per cent for the quarter and spending was up slightly. For the year to September, overnight trips rose in Western Australia (up 11 per cent), Victoria and South Australia (up six per cent), Queensland (up five per cent), Tasmania (up four per cent) and New South Wales (up three per cent) while overnight trip numbers for the Northern Territory and the ACT were down 12 and 13 per cent respectively.
