[b][Artarmon, 24/01/2018][/b] - NSW achieved the highest volume of visitors in 2017, with four million international visitors and $10 billion spent visitor expenditure. The state has recorded significant double-digit growth in seven of its top 15 source markets: USA, China, Korea, Japan, India, Germany and Indonesia.

Bus hire companies like Mona Vale Coaches are among the industries that drive and sustain this upward trend of inbound tourism, by enhancing ease and safety of transportation for international visitors.

NSW continues to lead all states in Australia in terms of overseas visitors and tourist dollars, according to new figures released by Tourism Research Australia. With a total of 4.1 million international visitors, visitor expenditure has reached an all-time high at $10.4 billion, further fuelling the state’s visitor economy.

A higher volume of visitors contribute to creating stronger local economies, says Adam Marshall, Minister for Tourism and Major Events. According to Marshall, the figures prove that NSW’s marketing strategies are effective and that the state “is well ahead of the game.”

Chinese visitors take up the largest portion of the tourist population, totalling 752,000 between August 2016 and September 2017. There was also an influx of visitors from America, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, Hong Kong and Indonesia.
