South Australia’s tourism appeal continues to grow, with the state attracting more visitors than ever before, whilst notching up a record $6.7 billion in visitor expenditure.
The Marshall Liberal Government has welcomed the latest International Visitor Survey results, which show South Australia is outperforming its interstate counterparts, with a 9 per cent increase in international visitors along with a 10 per cent increase to visitor expenditure.
China led the growth – with expenditure up 32 per cent to a record $415 million. The United States of America, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom also recorded strong growth.
“Solid growth in bookings has been achieved through marketing campaigns with a focus on traditional and emerging markets, along with strong partnerships with airlines and industry working together,” said Acting Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Dan van Holst Pellekaan.
