Abstract
The Backpacker market in Queensland has emerged as an important segment of the tourism system in Australia. The Backpack traveller is predominantly from overseas and is seeking a particular type of travel experience. In order to maintain this style of travel, Backpack travellers are away from home for long periods of time, make use of less expensive accommodation, use low cost transport and engage in tours and activities that will meet the travel experience they are seeking. The aim of this minor research thesis is to investigate the size of the Backpacker market in Queensland and to identify the transport and expenditure patterns and selected socio-demographic characteristics of Backpack travellers using commercial Backpacker accommodation in Queensland.
