Discover more about Destination Perth
Covering the Perth metropolitan area, Peel region, Fremantle and the historic Swan Valley, Destination Perth is where most of our out-of-state visitors begin their dream holiday in Western Australia.
Our most popular destination, the region is the home of blockbuster events thanks to Optus Stadium and other major events infrastructure. It’s also the gateway to the idyllic island paradise of Rottnest Island and the world’s friendliest animal, the quokka.
Learn more about Destination Perth’s tourism sector through our latest visitor statistics and insights, including fact sheets for key Local Government Areas and Regional Development Commissions.
Following Tourism Research Australia's change to the new Domestic Tourism Statistics (DoTS) system, the dashboard below has been amended to only show international visitation, with domestic visitor statistics to be added when more information is available.
The fact sheets are based on the National Visitor Survey and will be updated in 2026 with data from DoTS.
