Visitors arriving in Australia in 2021:
On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Initially, the Australian Government placed travel restrictions on those travelling to Australia from mainland China commencing 1 February 2020 and restrictions on other countries soon followed. From 20 March 2020, all overseas travel was banned, with few exceptions. The pandemic has continued to disrupt international travel with volumes at a record low in 2021.
From 1 November 2021, the Australian Government began to ease international travel restrictions with some fully vaccinated groups. Initially, Australian citizens and permanent residents were permitted to travel to and from Australia without exemption. This was then extended to citizens from additional countries and eligible visa holders.
There were 245,770 visitor arrivals in 2021. This was down 86.6% on the previous year with 1.6 million fewer arrivals.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial declines in travel movements since the introduction of border restrictions in March 2020. International travel restrictions began to ease in November 2021, resulting in an increase in arrivals.

Among the top 10 source countries, there was strong growth from Asian countries over the last decade. Recent declines for these countries are due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Annual arrivals of visitors travelling for a short-term trip dropped by 9.2 million since 2019. China saw the largest drop (1.4 million) of any country in 2021.
At the beginning of the decade China had recorded strong annual growth rates in the number of visitors arriving for a short-term trip, averaging 18 percent per year. In 2019, this had slowed to 0.5 percent. This decline of growth was before any travel restrictions were put in place due to COVID-19.
Pacific Islanders made up a larger proportion of Australia’s arrivals than in previous years. A combination of the drop in arrivals from all other countries and the use of seasonal worker programs to cover labour shortages meant the Pacific nation of Vanuatu was higher than usual on the list of source countries.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, state borders and airports have been closed to international visitors at different times.
The ABS is currently remediating a data quality issue with OAD source data which has affected the state and territory of stay/residence data. Due to this, information in this section is not currently available.
Monthly OAD data will be revised from July 2021 onwards. It is anticipated the revised data will be updated in next month's (March 2022) release of this publication.
There were more visits to Australia by men than women in 2021 (130,380 men compared with 115,390 women). The same was true in 2011 (3.0 million men and 2.8 million women).
In 2021 male visitors had a median age of 40 years, whereas female visitors had a median age of 45 years. The largest group of visitor arrivals was aged between 25 and 29 years, with the largest source country for this age group being New Zealand.

Australian residents returning to Australia in 2021:
On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Initially, the Australian Government placed travel restrictions on those travelling to Australia from mainland China commencing 1 February 2020 and restrictions on other countries soon followed. From 20 March 2020, all overseas travel was banned, with few exceptions. The pandemic has continued to disrupt international travel with volumes at a record low in 2021.
From 1 November 2021, the Australian Government began to ease international travel restrictions with some fully vaccinated groups. Initially, Australian citizens and permanent residents were permitted to travel to and from Australia without exemption. This was then extended to citizens from additional countries and eligible visa holders.
There were 300,380 resident trips overseas in 2021. This was down 89.4% on the previous year with 2.5 million fewer trips taken. This was the lowest annual number of resident trips in a calendar year on record.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial declines in travel movements since the introduction of border restrictions in March 2020. International travel restrictions began to ease in November 2021, resulting in an increase in resident returns.

Female resident returns were more likely than males to record their main reason for journey as ‘visiting friends/relatives’ or ‘other’. Male residents were more likely to record ‘business’ or ‘employment’.
During the pandemic and associated travel restrictions there has been an increase in travellers recording 'Other' as their main reason for journey.

For Australian residents returning from overseas their exact duration away is measured.
During 2021, the median duration away for Australians on a short-term trip was 17 days, the same as the year before. In 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, the median duration was 14 days.
The median duration varied between the states and territories and between the numerous destination countries.
The ABS is currently remediating a data quality issue with OAD source data which has affected the state and territory of stay/residence data. Due to this, information in this section is not currently available.
Monthly OAD data will be revised from July 2021 onwards. It is anticipated the revised data will be updated in next month's (March 2022) release of this publication.

The ABS is currently remediating a data quality issue with OAD source data which has affected the state and territory of stay/residence data. Due to this, analysis and data on state and territory of stay/residence throughout the publication is not currently available.
Monthly OAD data will be revised from July 2021 onwards. It is anticipated the revised data will be updated in next month's (March 2022) release of this publication.
In response to the need for additional data and analysis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ABS will continue to release information containing additional state and territory level analysis of overseas visitor arrivals, as well as national and state and territory information on arrivals of overseas students. See the left hand navigation pane to access information on a specific state/territory or article.
On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Initially the Australian Government placed travel restrictions on those travelling to Australia from mainland China commencing 1 February 2020 and restrictions on other countries soon followed. From 20 March 2020, all overseas travel was banned, with few exceptions. The pandemic has continued to disrupt international travel.
From 1 November 2021, the Australian Government began to ease international travel restrictions with some fully vaccinated groups. Initially, Australian citizens and permanent residents were permitted to travel to and from Australia without exemption. This was then extended to citizens from additional countries and eligible visa holders. On 21 February 2022, the Australian Government removed the international travel restrictions on all fully vaccinated visa holders. For more information, see the Prime Minister's media release on reopening to tourists and other international travellers.
This release contains overseas movement data which should not be interpreted as 'persons'. See the Scope section, paragraph 1 in the Methodology for more detail.

1. The ABS is currently remediating a data quality issue with OAD source data which has affected the state and territory of stay/residence data. Due to this, the data for tables 11, 12 and 13 are not currently available. Monthly OAD data will be revised from July 2021 onwards. It is anticipated the revised data will be updated in next months (March 2022) release of this publication.
2. For all Short-term Visitor Arrivals (STVA) and Short-term Resident Returns (STRR) series, the trend estimates have been suspended from February 2020 and the seasonally adjusted estimates have been suspended from April 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international travel. For more information, see the Seasonally adjusted and trend estimates section in the Methodology page associated with this release.
3. The quality of the imputation used to estimate duration of stay for some resident departures has been impacted by changed travel behaviour during COVID-19 travel restrictions. The proportional split between short-term resident departures and long-term resident departures has been impacted. Where possible, instead of departure volumes, we recommend clients use short-term resident returns and long-term resident returns for greater accuracy. For more information on how this variable is imputed, please see paragraph 28 of the Imputations and derivations section of the Methodology page.
4. Short-term arrival movements are usually based on a sample and subject to sampling error. However, from April 2020 to February 2022, a full enumeration has been undertaken due to the small volume of international travel movements caused by the impact of COVID-19. See paragraphs 1-2 of the Sampling section in the Methodology page.
5. Occasionally situations occur that necessitate breaks being applied to the trend series. For an overview of the breaks currently included in the trend series, see paragraph 14 of the Seasonally adjusted and trend estimates section in the Methodology.
6. For further information about the data, including updates or changes, see the Methodology page.
Two Overseas Arrivals and Departures datasets are available in Data Explorer.
ABS.Stat is no longer an active service and the datasets are now available in Data Explorer.
