Australia tourism strategic development
Overview
Tourism Australia has introduced its ‘Tourism 2035’ strategic plan, a 10-year initiative aimed at doubling high-yield traveler expenditure to between $61 billion and $69 billion. The strategy focuses on leveraging technology, such as artificial intelligence, and addressing global trends like the ‘Asian Century’ to bolster the nation’s second-largest export sector.
Recent data indicates progress in specific markets, notably a significant rise in Chinese tourism. Between July of the previous year and June of the current year, visits from China increased by 18%, totaling over 1.1 million. During the 2026 Chinese New Year, arrivals reached 220,000, marking the second-highest period on record.
Spending by Chinese tourists rose 27% to 13.7 billion AUD, with a shift in consumer behavior toward immersive experiences like wine masterclasses and RV tours rather than traditional shopping. While major cities remain primary hubs, interest is expanding toward destinations such as Perth and Adelaide.
