Visitor Movement to/from NSW

Overseas Arrivals and Departures (OAD) refer to the recorded arrival or departure of persons through Australian air or sea ports (excluding operational air and ships' crew, transit passengers who pass through Australia but are not cleared, some defence force personnel, passengers on pleasure cruises commencing and finishing in Australia, and undocumented arrivals or departures). Statistics on OAD relate to the number of movements of travellers rather than the number of travellers (i.e. the multiple movements of individual persons during a given reference period are all counted). It includes the movements of all travellers regardless of their nationality, citizenship or legal status. The focus of this data is information and analysis of short-term movements (i.e. less than one year), in particular short-term visitor arrivals and short-term resident returns. The OAD quarterly snapshot provides insights on the visitor movement to and from NSW. The data is sourced from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Domestic Aviation Performance
