Australian travellers are chasing local adventures over international travel but one destination stands above all others this winter.
Demand for leisure travel has roared back to pre-pandemic levels and the most popular holiday destination this winter is the Gold Coast, according to data from Australia’s biggest travel booking site Booking.com.
Melbourne and Sydney followed the Gold Coast as the second and third most popular domestic destinations. Cairns and Brisbane also made the top five and, after two cancelled snow seasons, Jindabyne ranked sixth as families flocked back to the slopes. Booking.com holiday room bookings surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first time in the June quarter thanks to a surge in northern hemisphere summer travel.
India ranked first on the confidence index. Many of India’s keen travellers are coming to Australia, making it now the second most common country of origin for arrivals into Australia behind New Zealand. Before the pandemic,Japan seemed content with staying locked down, ranking last on the Travel Confidence Index, and Australia ranked fifth.
