Sydney statistics

Sydney is the top destination for domestic and international travellers to capital cities in Australia.

In the March quarter 2025, Sydney welcomed 3.2 million domestic overnight visitors, who spent $2.9 billion in the state. Domestic overnight visitors stayed a total of 8.9 million nights.

In the year ended March 2025, Sydney welcomed 3.6 million international visitors. They stayed 84.5 million nights and spent $12.2 billion in the city.

Note: Due to the program transition from the National Visitor Survey (NVS) to Domestic Tourism Statistics (DoTS) program, domestic overnight tourism figures for tourism regions are available for the March quarter 2025 only, while international visitation data remains unchanged.

Domestic daytrip data will be available from the year ending June 2025. Learn more here.
