The main Asian markets were among the worst affected in the year to June, with the number of visitors from South Korea falling 31 percent from the previous year to 61,733, Japan by 23 percent to 88,474 and China 13.2 percent to 107,541.
Overall, the number of tourists in the year fell three percent to 2.41 million and numbers for the month of June were 135,200, down five percent from a year earlier.
The falls in the numbers of Asian visitors has been partly offset by more Australians visiting their neighboring country. In the year to June the number of Australian visitors rose four percent to 1.01 million.
