Accounting for 44 per cent of all holiday nights across Australia, the insights revealed that for the year ending September 2020 more than 1.9 million caravan and camping holidays were undertaken by Australians nationally, creating 8.4 million nights for the September 2020 quarter alone.
This represented a national decline of –28 per cent and –14 per cent respectively from 2019 but was well ahead of broader tourism numbers.
CEO of Caravan Industry Association of Australia (CCIA), Stuart Lamont said: “The latest data from TRA reaffirms the important role caravan and camping has in driving the economic recovery of the visitor economy.”
“We live in a world of fragile consumer confidence at present creating a two-speed economy. Whilst it is important that governments make health the first priority for Australians, concerns remain for those operators and communities in border towns, transit regions and remote locations that are continuing to feel the financial pain of border closures and are not enjoying the spoils of Australia’s fascination with the caravan and camping lifestyle.”
To showcase the beauty of caravan and camping travel, CCIA has supported the production of the Channel 7 program My Road to Adventure. The lifestyle and travel show follows Australian celebrities as they explore the relaxed and carefree lifestyle of staying in caravan parks.
