What crisis? Tourists still flocking to Australia

Tourists are still flocking to Australia .  The number of overseas visitors to Australia is continuing to rise, despite the economic downturn.

Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show the number of short-term arrivals rose by 0.9 per cent in March, after similar rises in January and February.

Tourists from Malaysia accounted for the biggest increase, while the sharpest drops were in the Japanese and Korean tourist markets.
