Australia Is Once Again Top Destination for Americans

"We are thrilled that Australia continues to rank number one among Americans," said Michelle Gysberts, Vice President of the Americas, Tourism Australia. "Over the last several months we have seen fares that are as much as 40 percent less than they were a year ago, meaning Americans can now act on their desires to visit Australia."

"The additional airline routes and partners that have established service to Australia in the past year, including V Australia, Delta and Emirates, provide travelers more affordable travel options. They have joined our existing carriers Qantas and United, resulting in more choice for consumers and allowing them to align with their existing carriers and airline mile partners on flights," continued Gysberts.

Additionally, the strong U.S. dollar has made travel throughout the country increasingly affordable.
