Aug. 5, 2016 (Business Insider) -- Some 693,200 short-term visitors arrived in Australia in June, the largest one-month total on record. It was 79,400 more than in June 2015, an increase of 12.9 percent. The lower Australian dollar is one of the factors that explain the boom. Majority of the increase is coming from China. 125,100 Chinese arrived in June, eclipsing January’s previous record of 122,300 and 21.9 percent higher than 12 months ago.
