Most Popular Air Travel Destinations Among Australian Travelers 2025

In summer 2025, Australian travelers show a clear preference for regional air travel, with 37% planning to fly within Australia or Oceania. Southeast Asia follows as the top international destination at 16%, likely driven by proximity, affordability, and cultural appeal. Western Europe, North America, and East Asia attract smaller but notable shares. This trend presents strong opportunities for domestic and regional tourism providers through targeted marketing, flight deals, and tailored experiences. Meanwhile, long-haul destinations and international carriers may see slower demand unless they adapt to attract niche or high-value Australian travelers seeking premium, meaningful journeys.
