UK tourists

[edit]

I'm proposing to remove this section, they are not even the most common overseas tourist in Australia, so their notability ahead of Kiwis and Japanese is hard to justify. Michellecrisp 06:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

10th highest revenue from tourism in 2002-4?

[edit]

I removed this unsourced statement from the talk page. I did a few quick searches and there is nothing that indicates this is anywhere near true. It looks like Australia is closer to 40th in the world tourism rankings. --Amaher (talk) 06:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Out of Date

[edit]

All of the information on this page is about 2003-2004. Either this should be made current or the name of the page should be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Youarefunny (talkcontribs) 20:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Australia's icons

[edit]

added a list of major Australian icons for tourists to visit.Rim sim (talk) 06:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that was a good idea. Four of them are already mentioned. It would of been better to logically group them, write a few sentences of prose and add it to the top of the section. - Shiftchange (talk) 06:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Table

[edit]

The table lacks labels and is thus all but meaningless. For example: New Zealand, 817 what in 2000? Visitors? Hundreds of visitors? Thousands? Dollars? What? Please label or delete.206.47.13.16 (talk) 03:44, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The graphs aren't much better. Unreadable labels on axes, etc. Does anybody care? HiLo48 (talk) 08:29, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First Tourist Bureaus?

[edit]

When were these established? Were they the product of the motoring boom? Were they a government initiative or the outcome of motorists' advocacy groups? 121.44.150.107 (talk) 23:54, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the important Australian National Travel Association Fixed. Generally this article is light-on in terms of information about key people, organisations, government legislation, publications. Much unreferenced material, when there are plenty available, including openly available newspaper articles at National Library (Trove), e.g. http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/130188810?searchTerm=Fenton%20%22Australian%20National%20Travel%20Association%22&searchLimits=dateFrom=1929-06-30%7C%7C%7CdateTo=1929-12-31%7C%7C%7Cl-advcategory=Article.

"German" vandalism

[edit]

Reverted edits under section "Domestic tourism", made by user "2A01:598:81C0:BB1B:9123:5A7B:899C:5E5E", for uncyclopedic content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RRyyas (talkcontribs) 20:22, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Types of Tourist

[edit]

"New Zealand tourists make up a distinctive part of the Australian tourism market, usually taking short package tours which concentrate heavily on the iconic sights (typically Sydney, Uluru, Gold Coast and Cairns),[citation needed] and viewing Australian native animals (particularly the koala and kangaroo).[20]"

This isn't accurate, most New Zealanders visit Sydney 35%, Melbourne 25% and Gold/Sunshine Coast 25%. Uluru and Cairns dont get a look in.
