AUSTRALIANS took more than 6.3 million overseas leisure trips last year, according to The Council of Australian Tour Operators’ (CATO) new report which examines the habits of outbound travellers.
The Australians on Holiday – International Leisure Travel Trends study also found Aussies spent a total $46 billion on their holidays, an average of $7,300 per person, with each traveller visiting an average of 3.4 countries per trip.
South East Asia accounted for more than a third of all Aussie trips, with Indonesia leading the way ahead of traditionally popular countries such as the United States and NZ.
In terms of duration, Australian travellers enjoyed an average of 22 days per holiday, while older travellers (51+) had larger budgets, took longer breaks, and tended to travel further.
