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 />
