Australian Tourism

The Australian tourism industry has struggled recently due to several factors. The strong Australian dollar has made the country an expensive destination for international visitors and encouraged Australians to travel overseas instead. Queensland in particular has been hit hard by floods, cyclones, volcanic ash, and the cancellation of flights by Tiger Airways, leaving businesses trying to attract tourists with discounts. Domestic tourism in Australia consists mostly of intrastate trips, with 32% of domestic trips occurring in New South Wales. International visitors to Australia have been increasing for many years and are forecast to exceed 3 million visitors by 2001, although Australia receives more international tourists than it sends abroad. Popular activities for tourists include cricket, rugby league, and enjoying Australia's sports and outdoor activities.
