Travel to Sydney, Snowy Mountains and South Coast Up


Sydney remains Australia’s magnet for domestic travellers, with the city recording an eight per cent increase in visitors to 7.7 million in the year to September 2011. These results are from the latest National Visitor Survey (NVS) released by the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism.

Other highlights for NSW in the NVS results were:
- NSW received a total of 24 million visitors (up 2.5 per cent), who spent 81 million nights (up 1.5 per cent) and $12.9 billion (up 2.6 per cent)
- Visitors to the South Coast increased by 22 per cent in the September quarter
- The Snowy Mountains received a 25 per cent increase in visitor nights for the year.

These increases are comparing the September 2011 figures with the corresponding period in 2010
