Are you interested to know how much people are spending during their travel, especially on the Gold Coast? As an accommodation provider, I certainly am. Tourism and Events Queensland have just released their latest statistics, which confirms that not only is the Gold Coast the second most visited region in the state, but also that its visitors are the second highest spenders behind Brisbane visitors.
That’s great news, but as always, with the good comes the bad. This on paper sounds great; however, compared to last year, there is a 2.6% decrease. This signifies that visitors are watching their spending.
You see, while people are more eager and have more means to travel, they have also become more cautious on where their money is being spent on. That’s totally understandable, because whatever amount you save, you can add it to your future travel budget.
I’d rather take this new statistic on a more positive light—that is, recognising opportunities. One of these is that cheap accommodation on the Gold Coast is set to rise! With this in mind along with my experience in the accommodation industry, I’d like to suggest some of the best options when it comes to cheap accommodation on the Gold Coast to help your holiday budget go further:
