June stats by the ABS Overseas Arrivals and Departures, Australia, June 2025

Interesting that everything on that list has reached/past precovid travel levels, except the US.

 

[Ktan89]

Watch out for china

 

[drron]

Interesting stats for the USA which refute the commonly held reason for the Fall. Big drop from 2019 to 2023 and silight recovery in 2024 and slightly more for 2025.

 

[jase05]

Dozens and dozens of trips to Asia and still haven’t officially visited Japan, must get around to it one day.

 

[kamchatsky]

I wish they can split statistics for Indonesia to Bali and outside Bali ….

Ronny everyone knows these numbers are fake and rigged - statisticians who produced these figures should start packing their bags

 

[clifford]

officially?

 

[jase05]

Nothing sinister.
By officially I mean enter the country. Had a couple of transits but never left the airport or cleared immigration

So instead of Bali bogans, we are going to have Japan…. Fill in the blank

 

[Flyerwin]

I’m adding to the stats. Going to Japan in a month.

Probably doesn't hurt that Aussies were getting about an extra 10c/AUD back then.

Meanwhile it was about 75 JPY to the AUD.

Actually, the influx to Indonesia (Bali) is at all time highs according to those stats - think I’ll pass.

I love Bali, especially north of the island like Amed. Definitely worth checking out.

Yes, but now overrun was my point.

I was there 2 yrs ago for the first time in ages and didn’t recognise the place…

 

[MooTime]

Bali for the tip, coughola beaches, bogan central.
US been and never again.
Japan yes in time.

Interesting and - concurrently - absolutely unsurprising.

I wish they can split statistics for Indonesia to Bali and outside Bali ….

You could do that with the metric Flying JQ -v- Flying Other

 

[auriga]

Are the numbers just based on what people write down in the arrival cards?

Nothing new. Got to put up with NZ and UK football fans screaming and making cough of themselves at a shrine in Kyoto during the world cup in 2019.
