Australians, who love travelling and can’t wait to go abroad after the country reopened, are spending more on international tourism than they did before the COVID-19 pandemic, banking industry figures show.

Customers of National Australia Bank (NAB) spent AU$46 million (US$31.98 million) on international flights, accommodation, car rentals, cruises, trains, and travel agencies in May, the biggest monthly spending in three years, according to credit card data from the bank.
