Southern Queensland Country has reported that tourist numbers rose 15.6 per cent last year, but it is unable to supply any reliable break-down for the South Burnett<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 11, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visitors from within Queensland to the Southern Queensland Country tourism region – which includes the South Burnett – rose 15.6 per cent over last year, according to the latest Domestic Tourism Snapshot released today by Tourism and Events Queensland.<\/p>\n

According to the TEQ statistics, 1.633 million visitors from within Queensland visited the Southern Qld Country region over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

In comparison,245,000 visited the Whitsundays, 365,000 visited the Fraser Coast, and 2.170 million visited the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n

Visitors from interstate to the Southern Queensland Country region dropped 13.4 per cent to 311,000.<\/p>\n

Overall, domestic visitation to the region rose 9.7 per cent, however TEQ said this rise was driven by growth in the business sector.<\/p>\n

The Southern Queensland Country area includes the resources growth area of the Surat Basin.<\/p>\n

Spending by business visitors showed strong growth across all Queensland (up 12 per cent to $2.1 billion) however holidaymakers (down 6.7 per cent) and people visiting friends and relatives (down 2.3 per cent) all spent less.<\/p>\n

The information in the Snapshot was extracted from the National Visitor Survey, managed by Tourism Research Australia.<\/p>\n

NB. TEQ says it reports the information for the South Burnett, Toowoomba, Southern Downs and Western Downs region as one figure rather than separately “to improve the reliability of information presented”.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
