Tourism: Saudi Arabi Tourist are the highest rollers when it comes to tourism

Saudi Arabians are the highest rollers when it comes to global travel, spending an average of about $6,670 USD per trip, followed by Australian and Chinese globetrotters.

That's according to a recently released report from Visa's Global Travel Intentions Study 2013, described as a barometer of travel trends around the world.

After surveying 12,630 travellers from 25 countries, the report found that Saudi Arabians are the top spenders, shelling out an average of $6,666 per trip.

Aussies spend an average of $4,118 while abroad, while Chinese holidaymakers spend $3,824.
On a global scale, the average travel budget is projected to spike from $2,390 per trip to $2,500 this year.

Where that differs dramatically, meanwhile, is within Asian markets -- particularly in Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong -- where travel budgets are expected to nearly double (46%) that of their last trip.

The results of the report suggest either economic recovery or a growing appetite for larger travel budgets, says Visa.
