For the last 50 years, New Zealand has been Australia’s favorite short trip overseas. However, the destination has just been knocked off the list by Indonesia.
The information delivered today displayed around 1.37 million Australians ventured out to Indonesia in 2023, while 1.26 million went to New Zealand.
The information doesn’t break down where specifically but it’s safe to say Bali has been a favored tourist destination for Aussies, who are from this week being hit with a 150,000 Indonesian rupiah, about $15, charge for entering the region. And that’s on top of a $50 visa-on-arrival payment.
The majority of Australians traveling to Indonesia, 86 percent to be exact, do so for a holiday while 7 percent visit family or friends. For those going to New Zealand, the statistics are a bit different, with 43 holidaying and 38 catching up with loved ones.
Nearly 10 million Australians returned from an overseas trip last year, about three million more than the number of international visitors entering.
Of the seven million internationals, Australia welcomed the most from our now second favorite travel spot, New Zealand, followed by the USA and UK.
But where are they headed to spend their holiday cash? The majority went to New South Wales.
