International student arrivals - Australia - May 2020

This feature article provides detail of overseas traveller movements at the national level for international student arrivals. The additional information is provided in the context of the outbreak of COVID-19 which started in China in December 2019.

Visitor arrivals statistics are international travel movements of persons arriving in Australia. It is the number of trips rather than the number of people. All data in this article has used original estimates as trend and seasonally adjusted estimates are not available for all variables being analysed.

Key statistics

Of all arrivals to Australia travelling on an international student visa in May 2020, there was a:

  • Decrease of 34,220 students (close to 100%) compared to the corresponding month of the previous year.
     

International students

The outbreak of COVID-19 which started in China in December 2019, has continued to disrupt the movement of international students this month, due to the introduction of travel restrictions from February 2020. In 2019, China was the largest source country nationally. Educational exports are an important contributor to the Australian economy.

Of all arrivals to Australia travelling on an international student visa in May 2020, there were just over 40, which was a decrease of 34,220 students, compared to the corresponding month of the previous year. This was close to a 100% decrease, as clearly seen in graph 12.1 below.

a. Includes short-term (less than 1 year) and long-term (1 year or more) visitor arrivals.
b. Anyone travelling on an international student visa whether it be for a short-term or long-term movement. This is not the same as when a traveller self reports 'education' as their main reason for journey, as shown in Table 6 for short-term visitor arrivals in the Data downloads section.
c. English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students.

Visitor arrivals annually - 2019

Statistics on travel movements of persons arriving in Australia for short term trips (i.e. less than 1 year). It is the number of international border crossings rather than the number of people.

Key statistics

Visitors arriving in Australia in 2019 (original estimates).

  • There were 9.5 million visitor arrivals, the highest year on record
  • China was the largest source country with over 1.4 million visitors nationally, largest source for NSW, Vic, SA, Tas. and the ACT
  • There were more visits by women than men. The opposite was true in 2009
  • The main reason for travel was holiday (47%)
  • Nationally, the median duration of stay in Australia was 10 days.
     

Short-term visitor arrivals

    The record annual 9.5 million visitors in 2019 was 3.9 million more than 10 years earlier and 220,300 more than 1 year ago. There has generally been an ongoing increase of visitor arrivals to Australia over recent decades.

    • Peaks were seen during Brisbane Expo in 1988 and the Sydney Olympics in 2000
    • Decreases were experienced during the Asian financial crisis from 1998, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008.
    • Australia experienced strong increases during 2015 and 2016.
       

    Source countries

    Residents from nearly every country around the world visited Australia in 2019. China (1.44 million) remained the largest source country for visitor arrivals with New Zealand (1.43 million) in second place. This reflects strong growth in the number of Chinese visitors over the decade, with a 297% increase since 2009. However, this growth has slowed more recently (0.46% from 2018 to 2019) and is likely to decrease in early 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

    a. Top 5 source countries based on year ending December 2019.
    b. Excludes SARs & Taiwan.
    c. Includes United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
     

    Among the top 10 source countries, there was also strong growth from other Asian countries over the last decade.

    State or territory of stay

    All travellers are asked their intended address in Australia upon arrival. The proportion of short-term visitor arrivals by intended state or territory in 2019, were as follows:

    • NSW (37% of all short-term visitors)
    • Vic. (27%)
    • Qld (21%)
    • SA (3%)
    • WA (9%)
    • Tas. (1.0%)
    • NT (0.8%)
    • ACT (1.2%).
       

    In 2009 this pattern was slightly different, with more visitors intending to stay in Qld than in Vic. All states and territories recorded growth in international visitors in the ten year period.


    At the state and territory level, the mix of source countries varies from that at the national level.

    During 2019:

    • China was the leading source country for NSW, Vic., SA, Tas. and the ACT
    • New Zealand provided the most visitors for Qld
    • Singapore for WA
    • The USA for the NT.
       

    Ten years earlier in 2009, New Zealand was the leading source country for NSW, Vic., Qld, and Tas. However, the UK was the leading source country for SA and WA, and the USA for the NT and ACT.

    Age and sex

    There were more visits to Australia by women than men in 2019 (4.9 million women compared with 4.5 million men). The opposite was true in 2009 (2.9 million men and 2.7 million women).

    In 2019, men and women visiting Australia had the same median age (40 years). The largest group of visitor arrivals were aged between 25 and 29 years. There were also large numbers of women arriving aged 56 with the largest source country being from China at this age.

    Main reason for journey

    In 2019, the most frequently stated main reason for journey by short-term visitors to Australia was:

    • holiday (47%)
    • visiting friends and relatives (30%)
    • business (7.1%)
    • education (6.6%).
       

    Female visitors were more likely than males to record their main reason for journey as holiday (50% of all females compared with 44% of all males), visiting friends and relatives (33% compared with 27%), and education (6.6% compared with 6.5%). Male visitors, on the other hand were more likely to travel to Australia for business (11% of all males compared with 3% of all females), to attend a convention/conference (4% compared with 3%), and for employment (3% compared with 2%).

    Duration of stay

    Visitors are asked their intended duration in Australia upon arrival.

    During 2019, the median duration of stay in Australia was 10 days. However, this varies between the states and territories and between the numerous source countries. It also varies depending on a traveller's main reason for journey.

    In 2019, the median duration of days for those visiting SA and ACT was 16 days, whereas for NSW and Qld it was 10 days. Those from India (with a median duration of stay of 40 days) stated their intention to stay longer than most others but this also varied between the states and territories. Those from Japan only visited for 6 days on average.

    • visiting friends and relatives (16 days)
    • holiday (9 days)
    • business travellers and those travelling for conventions/conferences stayed the shortest (6 days).
       

    Resident returns annually - 2019

    Statistics on travel movements of residents arriving back in Australia after short term trips (i.e. less than 1 year) overseas. It is the number of international border crossings rather than the number of people.

    Key statistics

    Australian residents returning to Australia in 2019 (original estimates).

    • There were 11.3 million resident returns to Australia from overseas, the highest year on record.
    • New Zealand continued to be the leading destination country for Australians travelling overseas, with nearly 1.5 million trips
    • Indonesia was the leading destination for those living in SA, WA and the NT
    • The main reason for travel was holiday (57%)
    • Nationally, the median duration away was 14 days.
       

    Short-term resident returns

      The record annual 11.3 million resident trips in 2019 was 5.1 million more than 10 years earlier and 247,500 more than 1 year ago. There has generally been an ongoing increase of Australian residents travelling overseas over recent decades. However, decreases were experienced due to various historical events such as the:

      • early 1990s recession in Australia
      • September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001
      • Bali bombings in 2002
      • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003
      • Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008.
         

      Destination countries

      Australians travelled across the globe during 2019:

      • New Zealand (1.46 million trips) remained the leading destination country
      • Indonesia moved from fourth to second over the last decade (1.40 million - an increase of 156%)
      • The USA (1.06 million) was the third leading destination but had a lower level than its peak in 2018.

      ​​​​​​​State or territory of residence

      All travellers are asked their intended address in Australia upon arrival. The proportion of short-term resident returns by their state or territory of residence in 2019, were as follows:

      • NSW (34% of all short-term resident returns)
      • Vic. (28%)
      • Qld (18%)
      • SA (5%)
      • WA (12%)
      • Tas. (1.0%)
      • NT (0.9%)
      • ACT (2%).
         

      In 2009 this pattern was very similar with a slightly higher proportion of those travelling overseas from NSW (36%), WA (14%), Tas. (1.1%) and NT (1.0%).


      At the state and territory level, the mix of destination countries varied from that at the national level.

      During 2019:

      • New Zealand was the leading destination country for residents of NSW, Vic., Qld, Tas. and the ACT
      • Indonesia was the leading destination for those from SA, WA and the NT.
         

      Ten years earlier in 2009, New Zealand was the leading destination for residents of all state and territories except for WA and the NT (for which Indonesia was the leading destination).

       

      Age and sex

      There were more trips taken overseas by Australian men than women in 2019 (5.9 million men compared with 5.4 million women), similar to 2009 (3.3 million men and 2.9 million women).

      In 2019, Australian men and women travelling overseas had a similar median age (42 years and 41 years respectively). Among those aged 18 to 30, there were more trips undertaken by women than men.

      Main reason for journey

      In 2019, the most frequently stated main reason for journey by Australian residents returning home after a short-term trip was:

      • holiday (57%)
      • visiting friends and relatives (26%)
      • business (8%).
         

      Female residents were more likely than males to record their main reason as a holiday (61% of all females compared with 54% of all males), visiting friends and relatives (28% compared with 24%), and education (1.3% compared with 1.1%). Male residents were more likely to travel overseas for business (12% of all males compared with 4% of all females), to attend a convention/conference (3% compared with 2%), and for employment (2% compared with 1%).

      Duration of stay

      For Australian residents returning from overseas their exact duration away is measured.

      During 2019, the median duration away for Australians on a short-term trip was 14 days. However, this varies between the states and territories and between the numerous destination countries. It also varies greatly depending on a traveller's main reason for journey.

      In 2019, the median duration away overseas for Victorians, South Australians, Tasmanians and those from the ACT was 15 days, whereas for those from WA and the NT it was 12 days. Those travelling to the UK were usually away for an average of 24 days which was longer than all the other top 10 destinations. Those travelling to Fiji were away for 7 days on average.

      Notes

      Suspension of seasonally adjusted and trend estimates

      The seasonally adjusted estimates have been suspended from April 2020 for all Short-term Visitor Arrival (STVA) and Short-term Resident Return (STRR) series due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international travel.

      The trend estimates have been suspended from February 2020 for all STVA and STRR series.

      Both series will be reintroduced when patterns in the underlying behaviour of passenger travel movements stabilise. Original estimates can be produced and will continue to be published as usual. For more details please see paragraphs 20-35 of the Methodology  and the ABS Feature Articles: Methods changes during the COVID-19 period (cat. no. 1359.0 for June 2020); When It's not "Business-as-usual": Implications for ABS Time Series (cat. no. 1350.0 for Aug 2009).

      COVID-19 from February 2020

      In response to the need for additional data and analysis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ABS is releasing a series of feature articles containing additional state and territory level analysis of overseas visitor arrivals over the coming months, 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.

      The World Health Organisation (WHO) commenced daily situation reports of the COVID-19 outbreak on 21 January 2020 and identified it as an international health emergency on 30 January. This was less than a month after suspected cases were reported in Wuhan, China. The Australian Government placed travel restrictions on those travelling to Australia initially from mainland China commencing 1 February. Other restrictions from other countries soon followed as the crisis worsened around the globe. From 20 March 2020, all overseas travel was banned, with few exceptions. For more information, see the Prime Minister's media release on border restrictions or the Smartraveller page from the Australian government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website.
