A recent report has indicated that Australians are travelling to New York City in incredible numbers. NYC&Company, the city’s official marketing, tourism and partnership organisation, reported that more than 500,000 Australians visited the metropolis in 2010, and the authority only expects these numbers to increase in 2011. Online holiday experts Jetabroad also found that the city is becoming increasingly popular. Darin Walters, MD of Jetabroad, comments: “In 2010 we found that there was a very significant increase in Australians travelling to the city from airports in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
According to Walters the increased popularity of the city can be partially attributed to the recent strength of the Australian dollar, which has made travelling to the United States much more affordable. He states: “Many of our customers at Jetabroad are taking advantage of these circumstances to book dream holidays at excellent prices. New York City is one of the most appealing destinations in the world, and Australians have not hesitated to visit it in this past year.
Statistics from NYC&Company reveal that New York City is a popular destination for tourists from all around the world. In 2010, an astounding 48.7 million visitors ventured to the city, making it one of the most visited places in the world.
Walters concludes that the recent surge of Australian tourists is not surprising given the exchange rates between Australia and the United States, and the enduring popularity of the city. He states: “New York City is one of the most amazing places to visit in the world: from the shops on Park Avenue to its collection of museums and restaurants, this city truly has it all. Indeed, for any avid traveller, some time there is absolutely essential. Given the recent performance of the Australian dollar we are not surprised to learn that 500,000 Aussies came to New York City in 2010, and we expect even more people to venture there in 2011.
