July 2021 to February 2022 data revised

The ABS identified a data quality issue with the source data which affected the state and territory of stay/residence data. As a result, Overseas Arrivals and Departures data from July 2021 to February 2022 has been revised and released in this month’s (March 2022) publication. For further information see Methodology page in the History of changes section for the year 2022.

Effects of COVID-19 outbreak

On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Initially the Australian Government placed travel restrictions on those travelling to Australia from mainland China commencing 1 February 2020 and restrictions on other countries soon followed. From 20 March 2020, all overseas travel was banned, with few exceptions. The pandemic has continued to disrupt international travel with volumes at a record low in 2021.

From 1 November 2021, the Australian Government began to ease international travel restrictions with some fully vaccinated groups. Initially, Australian citizens and permanent residents were permitted to travel to and from Australia without exemption. This was then extended to citizens from additional countries and eligible visa holders.

Annual visitor arrivals

There were 246,240 visitor arrivals in 2021. This was down 86.5% on the previous year with 1.6 million fewer arrivals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial declines in travel movements since the introduction of border restrictions in March 2020. International travel restrictions began to ease in November 2021, resulting in an increase in arrivals.

(a) Top 5 source countries based on year ending December 2021.

Among the top 10 source countries, there was strong growth from Asian countries over the last decade. Recent declines for these countries are due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Annual arrivals of visitors travelling for a short-term trip dropped by 9.2 million since 2019. China saw the largest drop (1.4 million) of any country in 2021.

At the beginning of the decade China had recorded strong annual growth rates in the number of visitors arriving for a short-term trip, averaging 18 percent per year. In 2019, this had slowed to 0.5 percent. This decline of growth was before any travel restrictions were put in place due to COVID-19.

Pacific Islanders made up a larger proportion of Australia’s arrivals than in previous years. A combination of the drop in arrivals from all other countries and the use of seasonal worker programs to cover labour shortages meant the Pacific nation of Vanuatu was higher than usual on the list of source countries.

NSW (45.0% of all short-term visitors)
Vic. (22.5%)
Qld (19.2%)
SA (2.5%)
WA (6.1%)
Tas. (1.7%)
NT (1.4%)

All states recorded growth in international visitors in the ten year period up to early 2020. In comparison, the territories experienced fluctuations in visitor numbers, particularly the Northern Territory. All states and territories observed a considerable drop in visitor numbers in 2021.

At the state and territory level, the mix of source countries varies from that at the national level. During 2021:

Due to the trans-Tasman travel bubble, New Zealand provided the most visitors to all states except the NT
The USA was the largest provider of visitors to the NT

Ten years earlier in 2011, New Zealand was the leading source country for NSW, Vic., Qld, SA, and Tas. However, the USA was the leading source country for the NT and ACT, and the UK was the leading source country for WA.

Duration of stay

Visitors are asked their intended duration in Australia upon arrival.

During 2021, the median duration of stay in Australia had increased to 30 days from 14 days the year before. This is due to the impact of COVID-19 on travel behaviour and a much smaller volume of travellers making the data more volatile.

The median duration varied between the states and territories and between the numerous source countries.

(c) Excludes SARs and Taiwan.

In 2021, among the states and territories the median duration was the:

highest in Tas at 92 days
lowest in Qld at 15 days.

Those from Vanuatu (with a median duration of stay of 9 months) stated much longer intended durations of stay than most others, but this also varied between the states and territories. Many of these visitors were seasonal workers.

Those from New Zealand only visited for 11 days on average, but this was up from 7 days recorded from the year before.

The median duration of stay of short-term visitors to Australia varied according to reason for journey. Those travelling for:

education and employment (both 182 days) stayed the longest
exhibition (40 days)
visiting friends/relatives (30 days)
business (26 days)
a holiday (13 days)
a convention/conference stayed the shortest (12 days).

Australian residents travelling overseas have generally been increasing over recent decades, with a number of decreases observed over time due to various historical events such as the:

Early 1990s recession in Australia
September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001
Bali bombings in 2002
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003
Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008
global COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020.

A substantial decline has been observed from March 2020 onward due to the impact of COVID-19. Prior to the pandemic, there were 11.4 million resident trips overseas in the year ending February 2020.

State or territory of residence

All travellers are asked their intended address in Australia upon arrival.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of state borders and airports have been closed to international visitors at different times.

The proportion of short-term residents returning from a short-term trip to Australia by their state or territory of residence in 2021 were as follows:

NSW (49.8% of all short-term resident returns)
Vic. (21.9%)
Qld (16.5%)
SA (2.4%)
WA (6.3%)
Tas. (0.8%)
NT (0.6%)
ACT (1.7%).

In 2011 the proportions were different especially for the two most populated states, with those travelling overseas from NSW accounting for 35.1% of all visitors and Vic. accounting for 24.7%.

Most states and territories recorded growth in residents taking overseas trips in the ten year period up to early 2020. Western Australia, however, remained flat from 2014 until the impact of the pandemic. While the Northern Territory wavered during the decade and had started to decline in the year before COVID-19. However, there was a considerable drop for all states and territories from March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the state and territory level, the mix of destination countries is similar to that at the national level.

During 2021 New Zealand was the leading destination country for residents of all states due to the trans-Tasman travel bubble.

Ten years earlier in 2011, New Zealand was the leading destination for residents of all states and territories except for SA, WA, and the NT (for which Indonesia was the leading destination).

Age and sex

There were more trips taken overseas by Australian men than women in 2021 (165,550 men compared with 135,290 women). In 2011, there was also more trips taken by men than women (4.1 million men compared with 3.7 million women).

In 2021, Australian men and women travelling overseas had a similar median age (41 years and 38 years respectively). Among those aged 20 to 29, women took more trips than men.

(a) As a percentage of all short-term resident returns.

Female resident returns were more likely than males to record their main reason for journey as ‘visiting friends/relatives’ or ‘other’. Male residents were more likely to record ‘business’ or ‘employment’.

During the pandemic and associated travel restrictions there has been an increase in travellers recording 'Other' as their main reason for journey.

Duration of stay

For Australian residents returning from overseas their exact duration away is measured.

During 2021, the median duration away for Australians on a short-term trip was 17 days, the same as the year before. In 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, the median duration was 15 days.

The median duration varied between the states and territories and between the numerous destination countries.

In 2021, among the states and territories the median duration away overseas was the:

highest for those who lived in NT at 36 days
lowest in NSW at 15 days.

Residents visiting China (with a median duration of 155 days) stayed away the longest compared to other top 10 destination countries.

Those residents travelling to Fiji only visited for 8 days on average, this was shorter than the other top 10 destinations.

The duration of stay of short-term trips by Australian residents going overseas varied according to reason for journey. Those travelling for:

education stayed away the longest (142 days)
employment (72 days)
exhibition (20 days)
visiting friends/relatives (17 days)
business (16 days)
convention/conference (10 days)
a holiday stayed the shortest (9 days).

Recent changes

July 2021 to February 2022 data revised

In early 2022, the ABS identified a data quality issue, with the state and territory of stay/residence being implausibly high for NSW. The issue was identified as being due to the capture and coding of state or territory of stay/residence from incoming passenger cards from July 2021 onwards. To fix this issue, the ABS worked with Home Affairs and the Australian Border Force and arranged for the affected cards to be re-processed and re-supplied.

Revised Overseas Arrivals and Departures data from July 2021 to February 2022 was released in the March 2022 issue. All time series spreadsheets and data files were revised. For the difference between revised and previously published data for short-term visitor arrivals and short-term resident returns by state or territory of residence/stay, see Methodology page in the History of changes section for the year 2022.

COVID-19 from Feb 2020

In response to the need for additional data and analysis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ABS will continue to release a series of feature articles containing additional state and territory level analysis of overseas visitor arrivals, as well as national and state and territory information on arrivals of overseas students. See the left hand navigation pane to access information on a specific state/territory or article.

Data notes

This release contains overseas movement data which should not be interpreted as 'persons'. See the Scope section, paragraph 1 in the Methodology for more detail.

The statistics in this release have been rounded. See the Confidentiality section in the Methodology for more detail.

I-notes

1. The ABS identified a data quality issue with the source data which affected the state and territory of stay/residence data. As a result, Overseas Arrivals and Departures data from July 2021 to February 2022 has been revised and released in this month’s (March 2022) publication. For further information see Methodology page in the History of changes section for the year 2022.

2. For all Short-term Visitor Arrivals (STVA) and Short-term Resident Returns (STRR) series, the trend estimates have been suspended from February 2020 and the seasonally adjusted estimates have been suspended from April 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international travel. For more information, see the Seasonally adjusted and trend estimates section in the Methodology page associated with this release.

3. The quality of the imputation used to estimate duration of stay for some resident departures has been impacted by changed travel behaviour during COVID-19 travel restrictions. The proportional split between short-term resident departures and long-term resident departures has been impacted. Where possible, instead of departure volumes, we recommend clients use short-term resident returns and long-term resident returns for greater accuracy. For more information on how this variable is imputed, please see paragraph 28 of the Imputations and derivations section of the Methodology page.

4. Occasionally situations occur that necessitate breaks being applied to the trend series. For an overview of the breaks currently included in the trend series, see paragraph 14 of the Seasonally adjusted and trend estimates section in the Methodology.

5. For further information about the data, including updates or changes, see the Methodology page.
