International travel has rebounded to close to pre-COVID levels as trips to Indonesia outpace New Zealand 'four to one'

By Brianna Morris-Grant

Topic: Tourism and Leisure Industry

Indonesia was the most popular travel destination for Australians with 1.5 million trips recorded in 2023-24. ( ABC News: Keane Bourke )

The number of Australian residents returning from short-term trips overseas has been above pre-COVID levels almost every month since January. 

Indonesia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and United States were the most popular destinations for short-term travel in the last 12 months. 

What's next: 

The number of international visitors has increased nationwide and reached 85 per cent of pre-COVID levels which the industry hopes to grow further.

International travel has rebounded to pre-COVID levels for the first time since international travel restrictions were lifted, according to new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The numbers also showed Indonesia was the most popular travel destination for Australians with 1.5 million trips recorded in 2023-24, outpacing the increase in trips to New Zealand by "four to one".

International flights resumed in late 2021, with searches for flights and travel insurance still soaring in early 2023 .

Last year marked the first time Indonesia had come in as the top travel destination.

In June 2024 it was followed in popularity by New Zealand (77,760 trips),  the United Kingdom (65,090 trips) the United States (52,910) and Japan (51,156).

The United States was the only country in the top five where the number of trips proved lower than a decade ago, with a total of 714,300 trips, down from 970,230 trips in 2013-14.

The ABS' head of migration statistics, Martin Skeggs, said it had been a "continual recovery" over several years.

"The figures today [are not] especially surprising because we've been seeing this coming, but they have reached a point now where for residents, we're hitting levels that we saw prior to the pandemic," he said. 

"We're already seeing visitors from some countries levelling off a little bit.

"But if we look prior to the pandemic, we saw that the number of Australians going overseas and the number of visitors coming here was ever increasing.

"So there is the possibility that those levels may continue to increase over time." 

There were 863,950 short term trips in June 2024, "an increase of 134,410 compared to [June 2023]", according to the ABS.

The number of trips was 2.6 per cent higher than the pre-COVID figure in June 2019.

The ABS' head of migration statistics, Jenny Dobak, said: "The number of residents returning from short-term trips in 2023-24 was 32 per cent higher than 2022-23, and reached 98 per cent (pre-COVID) volume.

"The number of resident returns each month reached 100 per cent of the pre-COVID (2019) volume in January 2024, for the first time since international travel restrictions were lifted.

"It has been above 100 per cent of pre-COVID volumes in the following months, with the exception of May 2024."

Most visitors from New Zealand, China, India

The number of short-term visitors to Australia in June 2024 increased by 8.4 per cent on the previous year, with 587,760 arrivals.

The number of arrivals has reached 85 per cent of the pre-COVID 2018-19 level and increased in all states and territories over the year.

Ms Dobak said China had "made a notable movement in the top five countries that short-term visitors arrived from, becoming the second-most popular country for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic".

"India was the fifth-most popular destination, however it was the only country in the top five to surpass its pre-COVID level," she said.

The majority of short-term visitors in June 2024 were from New Zealand (103,850), followed by China (55,670), the United States (52,460), Singapore (50,610) and India (39,550).

Most visitors were travelling to New South Wales and Victoria.

However, the number of international students arriving in June 2024 decreased by 11,390 students compared to the previous year, with 39, 230 arriving.

This was also 14.8 per cent lower than pre-COVID levels (June 2019).

Mr Skeggs said it had been difficult to predict how long it would take for travel numbers to recover following COVID-19 restrictions. 

"It's difficult to say at the best of times," he said.

"It's not unexpected that it took some time for the industry to recover. 

"It was very, very uncertain as to what would happen a couple of years ago when the borders reopened, in terms of how long it would take."

My Travel Tips for Seeing the World’s Best Places

By Nicholas Kristof

Opinion Columnist

’Tis the season for vacations, so let me make my pitch that the best travel is not lounging at a beach resort but rather journeying into a different world. We all need relaxation at times, but nothing beats the thrill of a trip of discovery and the education that comes with it.

Mark Twain once observed that “travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.” In that spirit, I’ve long urged young Americans to take gap years before college or junior years abroad . (One high school reader of such an essay, Spencer Cohen , ended up taking a gap year partly in Japan, became an Asia hand and is now a colleague at The Times.)

Still, there are risks, less of violence (the U.S. has more guns than other countries) than of having your passport and credit cards stolen. So I preach both travel and prudence, and on a recent book tour , I found myself often asked about travel advice I had mentioned in my memoir. So let me share a few tips for the vacation season:

1. The most memorable travel often involves encountering something unfamiliar, so consider escaping the herds parading through Paris. Indonesia, Ghana, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Morocco and Bolivia are generally safe, far cheaper than Europe and offer indelible experiences. I’ll never forget venturing deep into the Potosí silver mines in Bolivia, exploring a grim slave castle in Ghana that dispatched prisoners to slavery in America, learning how to use a blowgun while staying with families in their longhouse in Indonesia’s Borneo rainforest. The world awaits us!

2. Some of the places that you find most culturally distant may be right here in the United States. A teenager from an affluent family in the New York or Boston areas would step into a different world by taking a ranch job in Wyoming. And this is the kind of travel that is not only affordable but actually pays for the experience.

3. Be spontaneous. As a law student in 1982, I spent five weeks backpacking through the Middle East and met a couple of Palestinian students on a West Bank bus; I jumped off at their stop and spent a memorable day with them in their refugee camp hearing about their frustrations and dreams (I wrote about reuniting with them last fall). And while on a bus in the Sahara, I accepted an Algerian man’s invitation to visit his village — which turned out to be a warren of underground burrows to protect families from the extreme heat, the most unusual residential architecture I’ve ever seen. In each case, I was with a couple of friends, which made it seem safer to put myself in the company of people I’d just met, and obviously one should be as judicious as one is spontaneous.

4. One occasionally hears that adventurous travel is just for men, but some of the most accomplished foreign correspondents and overseas photographers are women, as are a majority of Peace Corps volunteers. As a man, I don’t face the same risks that women face, but I have seen female travelers — disproportionately from Australia and New Zealand — thriving as they backpack through the most remote places. Some have suggested the purchase of a cheap wedding ring; a $20 band and a fabricated husband can help keep pests away.

5. Carry a decoy wallet. If pickpockets grab it, let them run off — only to discover that it contains just a bit of cash for street purchases, a day pass for the subway and an expired credit card. But do remember to let the pickpockets escape. Years ago, in Lima, Peru, I instinctively jumped a pickpocket who was trying to grab my friend’s decoy wallet, forgetting that he had nothing much in it; next thing I knew we had a melee and a gun was being fired.

6. Carry your passport and valid credit cards and cash in a pouch that loops on your belt and is tucked inside your pants. Travelers often carry travel pouches round their necks under their shirts, but these are visible and sometimes get stolen. While I’ve had bandits make me take off my shoes and socks while searching for cash, nobody has found my pouch in my pants (I dare mention this only because I assume robbers are not big readers of my column).

7. Carry a small cable lock (those for skis are perfect) to lock your bags together so one doesn’t run off while you’re sleeping in a train or on a bench at the train station.

8. Never check a bag for a flight because then it will get lost. That means packing light and taking quick-dry clothes suitable for washing in a hotel sink. I’m fond of travel clothing from a company called Clothing Arts , and I also rely on ultralight backpacking gear such as a tiny Black Diamond or Petzl headlamp that is invaluable when the power goes out.

9. If you’re getting into a taxi or other car in a location that seems at all dubious, use your phone to photograph the license plate before you get in. The driver may wonder if you’ve texted it to a friend. And women can look for female drivers if they exist.

10. My editor doesn’t want me to say anything that might encourage readers to try something dangerous, so I won’t suggest that there is nothing like the view while riding on the top of a train in Sudan . (That was in my dissolute youth, and today I definitely disapprove of riding on top of trains.)

11. People worry about terrorists, but the most likely serious risk is probably a vehicle accident. Motorcycle taxis common in low-income countries can be perilous, while buses and trains are safer (inside trains only!).

12. Now forget all the fears this article has conjured. Go have fun. Travel should be as enjoyable as it is eye-opening. If you take precautions it will be.

Tropical Storm Ernesto: Track where the storm is heading in the latest models

Tropical Storm Ernesto formed Monday as it moved toward the Caribbean islands and the forecast suggest Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands could experience tropical storm conditions beginning Tuesday.

You can track the storm's path with the latest maps and models below and follow along with USA TODAY's coverage of Tropical Storm Ernesto as the fifth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season moves through the Caribbean.

The storm is expected to bring heavy rain and cause flash floods and mudslides but the mainland U.S. could be largely spared from the storm, according to forecasts.

Where is Ernesto heading?

The National Hurricane Center's 11 p.m. ET update Monday indicated that Ernesto could bring tropical storm conditions to parts of the Leeward Islands by early Tuesday, and the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico later in the day.

A tropical storm warning was issued in the area late Monday evening.
