Australia has undergone a hospitality renaissance lately. Simply put, the tourism business on the island is booming, and because of this there are now a number of exciting hotel projects in the country's project pipeline.

With so much happening down under, it's important for savvy hoteliers to stay abreast of the most noteworthy projects. That's why we recently turned to the TOPHOTELCONSTRUCTION database for more info. Below you will find some statistics about the country's project pipeline, as well as a list of the top 5 most exciting hotels that are on their way.

Australian Tourism

It's a good time to be in the tourism business in Australia. As of the end of October 2017, the country had welcomed 8.7 million international visitors last year. This represents an increase from the previous year of 7.1 percent. Even more exciting, however, is that international visitors to Australia last year spent a record $41.2 billion. This represents an increase of roughly 6 percent.

And information about the country's project pipeline bears this out. There are currently 131 projects underway in Australia, totaling 35,024 rooms, according to the TOPHOTELCONSTRUCTION database. Of these projects, the majority are designated first class. Fifty are slated to open for business in 2018. Meanwhile Melbourne is the most popular market with 29 projects, while Sydney is next with 14, and Perth is third with 9.
