Indian holidaymakers starting to favour Australia

A slew of Indian travellers to Australia could see them become important investors.
Indian buyers could become important players in the property market in the future as a growing number are already starting to come to the nation on holiday, it has been revealed.

In recent years, buyers from the nation have been the biggest housing spenders in Dubai after it became a popular tourist destination, impressing those who visited.

And this could become a reality in Australia as well, after it was revealed that there were a record number of Indian nationals coming to the nation in the financial year just gone.

Patrick Suckling, Australia’s High Commissioner to India, said that in the financial year 2013-2014, Australia issued 100,000 visas to Indian people, more than it has ever done in the past.

It meant that the number of tourists coming to the nation from India grew by some 10.3 per cent in the year, which allowed India to become Australia's 11th biggest tourist market.
