The number of nights in Tasmania has remained relatively stable at approximately 9 nights over the ten years, but overall expenditure has more than doubled, with the average per person expenditure increasing by 27% over ten years. The number of visitors does not include cruise ship arrivals of 75,200, a decline of 26% on the previous year (January‐December) due to reduced cruise ship arrivals. Table 1.
