Visit USA held its annual market update for members recently, unveiling some interesting statistics provided by the US Commercial Service.
The major entry points for Australians travelling to the USA is not surprising with Los Angeles at 52 per cent and Honolulu at 20 per cent, followed by New York and San Francisco with just over five per cent and Dallas/Ft Worth just under five per cent.
Great news for the travel industry is that travel agencies are the major source for information at 48 per cent and handle 51 per cent of bookings. Booking accommodation in advance is common practice with nearly 85 per cent of Australian visitors to the US ensuring they have a place to stay before leaving home.
Attached are some images of members enjoying the Gray Line networking party after the presentation. Elaine Kellogg travelled all the way from New York to host the event.
