The latest Roy Morgan data shows that 23% of Australians plan to travel overseas in the next 12 months, up from 16% in October 2022 when final pandemic-era restrictions on travel were lifted. Travel intentions have bounced back since October 2022, despite low levels of consumer confidence. Australians embarked on 11.5 million overseas trips during the 2024 calendar year, rebounding to above 2019 pre-pandemic levels. Looking month-on-month, in January 2024, the number of trips were back to 2019 levels and by January 2025 trips were up 11% on January 2024. It is important to note that the growth in trips was largely driven by population growth, so on a ‘per capita basis’ overseas travel has not quite returned to pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, 57% of Australians are planning a domestic trip in the next 12 months (up from 52% a year ago).
