Melburnians love to holiday in Queensland with 22 precent more booking a break in the Sunshine State, according to new figures released today.
Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said Tourism Research Australia’s National Visitor Survey for the year ended June 2010 showed 657,000 Melburnians holidayed in Queensland – 22 percent more than the previous year.
This compared to an eight percent increase in Melburnian holidaymakers seen in other interstate destinations.
“Melburnians also took longer holidays in Queensland than the national average – staying five million nights, which was up 14 percent from the previous year,” Mr Lawlor said.
“The Gold Coast was Melburnians’ favourite Queensland destination, with 296,000 staying 1.9 million nights on holiday on the Coast over the year.
“This was 33 percent more holidaymakers and 30 percent more nights than last year.
“More Melburnians are also heading further north for their holidays, with 129,000 holidaying on the Sunshine Coast (up 14%) and 155,000 holidaying in Tropical North Queensland (up 26%) during the year.” Rest of entry »
