Australia's tourism gross domestic product (GDP) bounced back strong in 2023, recording an increase of 90.8 percent. After witnessing a significant decline in tourism GDP in 2020 and 2021, with tourism GDP taking a massive plunge of 36.2 percent in 2021 as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, the industry appears to be on the road to recovery. The state of the tourism industry in 2021 The coronavirus pandemic had an enormous negative effect on the travel and tourism industry worldwide. In Australia, all major tourism-related industries reported a decline in GVA on the previous year. International visitors were also restricted from entering the country, resulting in a significant drop in revenue from international visitors. China, as the origin of the COVID-19 virus, was the first country to be subjected to travel bans. This was particularly damaging to the Australian economy due to the high volume of Chinese visitors that visit Australia for work, leisure, and study. Hopes for a trans-Tasman travel bubble  Just as visitors to Australia were restricted, international travel for Australians became increasingly limited throughout 2020 and 2021. However, with New Zealand’s success at containing the virus, and incidents of COVID-19 in Australia declining at the end of April, the two countries opened negotiations for a “trans-Tasman travel bubble”. The concept would open travel for Australian and New Zealand residents across the Tasman sea, without the need to undergo quarantine in Australia or New Zealand. Unfortunately, after a second wave outbreak of coronavirus in Melbourne and subsequent outbreaks later in the year, the trans-Tasman bubble did not come to pass in 2020.

The statistic depicts Australia's gross domestic product (GDP) from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, GDP in Australia amounted to about 1.8 trillion US dollars. See global GDP for a global comparison. Australia’s economy and population Australia’s gross domestic product has been growing steadily, and all in all, Australia and its economic key factors show a well-set country. Australia is among the countries with the largest gross domestic product / GDP worldwide, and thus one of the largest economies. It was one of the few countries not severely stricken by the 2008 financial crisis; its unemployment rate, inflation rate and trade balance, for example, were hardly affected at all. In fact, the trade balance of Australia – a country’s exports minus its imports – has been higher than ever since 2010, with a slight dip in 2012. Australia mainly exports wine and agricultural products to countries like China, Japan or South Korea. One of Australia’s largest industries is tourism, which contributes a significant share to its gross domestic product. Almost half of approximately 23 million Australian residents are employed nowadays, life expectancy is increasing, and the fertility rate (the number of children born per woman) has been quite stable. A look at the distribution of the world population by continent shows that Australia is ranked last in terms of population and population density. Most of Australia's population lives at the coast in metropolitan areas, since parts of the continent are uninhabitable. Unsurprisingly, Australia is known as a country with very high living standards, four of its biggest cities – Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Perth – are among the most livable cities worldwide.
