International visitors by commercial or<br />

non-commercial <strong>camping</strong> accommodation<br />

and age group<br />

According to TRA data (for the year ended March 2013),<br />

the younger age groups of 15–24 years and 25–44 years<br />

make up the majority of international visitors utilising<br />

commercial <strong>camping</strong> accommodation. The 25–44 years<br />

group is slightly higher, with 39% staying in this<br />

accommodation type.<br />

Also, more international visitors in the 45–64 years age<br />

bracket stay in commercial <strong>camping</strong> accommodation<br />

<strong>options</strong>, as opposed to non-commercial <strong>camping</strong><br />

accommodation.<br />

As shown in Figure C.1, the large majority of<br />

international visitors staying in non-commercial<br />

<strong>camping</strong> accommodation are the younger age groups<br />

of 15–24 years and 25–44 years. These age groups make<br />

up 89% of the entire non-commercial accommodation<br />

group for international visitation.<br />

Domestic visitors by commercial or<br />

non-commercial <strong>camping</strong> accommodation<br />

and age group<br />

According to TRA data (for the year ended March 2013),<br />

the 45–64 years age group make up the majority of<br />

domestic visitors staying in commercial <strong>camping</strong><br />

accommodation (see Figure C.2). The older age groups<br />

are more significantly represented in commercial <strong>camping</strong><br />

accommodation for domestic visitors than they are for<br />

international visitors.<br />

Unsurprisingly, rates of domestic visitors in the<br />

15–24 years age bracket utilising non-commercial<br />

<strong>camping</strong> accommodation are much higher than the<br />

rates for commercial <strong>camping</strong> accommodation.<br />

There is also a significantly lower proportion of the<br />

65+ years age group staying in non-commercial<br />

accommodation than in commercial <strong>camping</strong><br />

accommodation.<br />
