In 2024, Indian tourism to Australia rose 12% year-on-year to 443,000 travelers, with spending up 17% and nights spent increasing 34%. Tourism Australia aims to maintain this double-digit growth. Travelers are now exploring beyond major cities, with places like Tasmania and Canberra gaining popularity. Country manager Nishant Kashikar credited strong India-Australia relations, sufficient flight capacity, and a simplified visa process—fully digital with no biometrics or interviews—as key drivers making Australia an attractive long-haul destination for Indian tourists.
