International travellers increased by seven per cent to 567,050. That was led by a continued trend toward Asian tourism, with passengers from China increasing by 28 per cent from last year. Travellers from the US, by contrast, rose 2.3 per cent.

Total passenger numbers fell by three per cent to 2.4 million.
