More visit Australia
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCLAND, Dec. 7. The number of New Zealanders visiting Australia in the year ending in August rose 10 per cent over the previous 12 months. During the year, 105,744 short-term visitors from New Zealand went to Australia. The New Zealand manager of the Australian Tourist Commission (Mr J. Brace) said in Auckland that New Zealand had contributed 25.9 per cent of all shortterm visitors to Australia, ahead of the next biggest market, the United States, with 19.5 per cent. Reports from the travel industry indicated that New Zealand tourists to Australia were now staying longer than they used to. Mr Brace attributed the increase in numbers to advertising in New Zealand.
