UK tourists
I'm proposing to remove this section, they are not even the most common overseas tourist in Australia, so their notability ahead of Kiwis and Japanese is hard to justify. Michellecrisp 06:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

10th highest revenue from tourism in 2002-4?
I removed this unsourced statement from the talk page. I did a few quick searches and there is nothing that indicates this is anywhere near true. It looks like Australia is closer to 40th in the world tourism rankings. --Amaher (talk) 06:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Out of Date
All of the information on this page is about 2003-2004. Either this should be made current or the name of the page should be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Youarefunny (talk • contribs) 20:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Australia's icons
added a list of major Australian icons for tourists to visit.Rim sim (talk) 06:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think that was a good idea. Four of them are already mentioned. It would of been better to logically group them, write a few sentences of prose and add it to the top of the section. - Shiftchange (talk) 06:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Table
The table lacks labels and is thus all but meaningless. For example: New Zealand, 817 what in 2000? Visitors? Hundreds of visitors? Thousands? Dollars? What? Please label or delete.206.47.13.16 (talk) 03:44, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree. The graphs aren't much better. Unreadable labels on axes, etc. Does anybody care? HiLo48 (talk) 08:29, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

First Tourist Bureaus?
When were these established? Were they the product of the motoring boom? Were they a government initiative or the outcome of motorists' advocacy groups? 121.44.150.107 (talk) 23:54, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * No mention of the important Australian National Travel Association. Generally this article is light-on in terms of information about key people, organisations, government legislation, publications. Much unreferenced material, when there are plenty available, including openly available newspaper articles at National Library (Trove), e.g. http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/130188810?searchTerm=Fenton%20%22Australian%20National%20Travel%20Association%22&searchLimits=dateFrom=1929-06-30%7C%7C%7CdateTo=1929-12-31%7C%7C%7Cl-advcategory=Article.

Types of Tourist
"New Zealand tourists make up a distinctive part of the Australian tourism market, usually taking short package tours which concentrate heavily on the iconic sights (typically Sydney, Uluru, Gold Coast and Cairns),[citation needed] and viewing Australian native animals (particularly the koala and kangaroo).[20]"

This isn't accurate, most New Zealanders visit Sydney 35%, Melbourne 25% and Gold/Sunshine Coast 25%. Uluru and Cairns dont get a look in.
