In 2008/09, around 24% of holiday visitors to
Australia had a stopover at Tropical North
Queensland during their time in Australia, ranking
third behind Sydney and Melbourne
The region is also a highly popular destination for
Australians, receiving over 1.5 million domestic
overnight visitors and over 2 million day trip visitors
during 2009
Tourism Australia is predicting strong tourism growth
for Australia from India (14.8% 2008-2018 CAGR),
China (10.3%) and a number of other Asian
countries
Tropical North Queensland has an opportunity to
benefit from this predicted growth and decrease its
historical reliance on Japan.
