1.International tourist visitation in Australia is at record highs, and spending by tourists (particularly from China) is exploding as well. This is giving Australia’s retail sector a big boost. The strong growth in tourism over recent years is expected to continue during 2017, adding a key supplementary market for Australia’s retailers. But tourists also exacerbate Australian retailers’ vulnerability to international competition.

As more tourists arrive onshore, more international retailers want to come along for the ride as well. Still, strong growth in tourism is welcome news in an otherwise harsh landscape. Domestic retail sales demand remains sluggish, as record low wage growth, high levels of household debt, and uncertainty over interest rates and house prices are keeping overall spend growth low.
