Chinese visitors contribute to Australian tourism market.
The Asian tourist market, especially the Chinese, for Australia is still growing, new figures on overseas arrivals released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) on Wednesday showed.
More than 39,000 Chinese tourists came to Australia in May, ranking third behind the
United Kingdom (UK) and Japan.

Malaysia and India are also showing signs of significant growth and these markets are proving our savior amidst a decline from more traditional markets such as Japan and the UK," The new managing director of the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC), Felicia Mariani said.
She said the UK market in particular remained slow after the economic declined 10 percent over the past 12 months.
