International arrivals to Australia: Determinants and the role of air transport policy

Author

Listed:
  • Zhang, Yahua

Abstract

Air transport policy, national income, bilateral trade volume, distance, common language and immigration are significant determinants of international arrivals to Australia. The close link between aviation policy and the number of international travellers might suggest that Australia has benefited from the liberalisation of the airline industry globally in recent decades.
