Western Australia has experienced a massive 2.4 billion dollar tourism windfall, largely driven by local residents. West Australians choosing to travel within their own state have contributed the most to this financial boost.[1][2]
While local travel has flourished, visitation from out-of-state travelers has continued to lag behind, highlighting the critical role that domestic residents have played in supporting the state's tourism sector.[1][2]
