“The
Australian
outbound
tourism
market
is
con:nuing
strongly,
with
the
Australian
economy
s:ll
powering
along,
having
registered
22
years
of
consecu:ve
growth.
Departures
to
date
are
up
by
eight
percent
and
the
tradi:onal
outbound
markets,
including
the
US,
UK
and
Europe
have
surged
in
popularity
according
the
Australian
Bureau
of
Sta:s:cs.
Australians
travelling
to
America
are
up
by
12%
this
month,
the
UK
has
risen
by
20%
with
55,900
Aussies
visi:ng
in
September
and
Italy
is
up
by
21.9%
to

month.
Australia
is
now
the
12th
largest
economy
in
the
world
with
our
GDP
being
$1.5
trillion
in
2012.
Our
currency
is
the
?ch
most
traded
currency
and
we
are
just
one
of
eight
governments
worldwide
with
a
AAA
credit
ra:ng
and
a
stable
outlook.
Almost
9
million
and
coun:ng
Australians
went
overseas
last
year
which
is
more
than
a
third
of
our
total
popula:on.
If
you
want
to
increase
numbers
in
your
business,
it
is
essen:al
to
include
Australia,
a
huge
growing
market
with
high
yield
travellers
in
your
plans.”

“For
2014,
the
expecta:on
is
that
the
Benelux
holiday
sector
will
remain
stable,
with
0
to
1%
volume
decline.
However,
expense
remains
a
cri:cal
factor
for
consumers.
