The State recorded 2.66 million out-of-state visitors over the past year – the highest on record, with their spend rising to $3.9 billion.
The latest National Visitor Survey (NVS) results by Tourism Research Australia released yesterday and the recent International Visitor Survey (IVS) results show WA tourism is riding a wave of success.
The State recorded 2.66 million out-of-state visitors over the past year – the highest on record, with their spend rising to $3.9 billion.
The NVS and IVS combined also showed total (international and domestic) overnight visitors of 11.1 million.
These visitors, together with day-trippers, spent $10.1 billion in the State, $4.6 billion (46 per cent) of which was spent in regional WA. Taken alone, the NVS results also revealed more good news.
WA recorded 1.7 million visitors from interstate with an overall spend of $1.7 billion, with both figures the highest to date. WA’s growth rate for holiday spend was also a standout – the highest of all States and Territories. Read more highlights here or view the detailed NVS and IVS results here.
