January is usually the time of the year when travel-related organisations are researching the best destinations to promote in the upcoming year. They choose the destinations based on popularity, safety, number and quality of attractions, and other elements that are seriously being considered by tourists when they’re choosing their holiday destination.
Australia is always a popular choice of destination for several reasons. International tourists, visit Australia to escape their winter to experience warm, sunny weather that Australia is famous for. They also visit this country to enjoy some of the world’s finest beaches, great restaurants, UNESCO World heritage sites, and to experience our Australian culture for themselves.
For most international tourists, the one thing that must be experienced in Australia is our world-class pristine beaches. Tourists love the idea of spending hours under the sun, reading their favourite book on the beach, watching the sunset, and spending the day experiencing magnificent, stunning-views of the best beaches in the world, and what’s more, it won’t cost them a cent.
Some of the most visited Australian cities are the following:
