Australia’s caravan and camping industry performance
in 2020 can be described as a year of halves.The first was defined by significant business closures,
economic loss, and the collapse of the tourism
industry as a devastating bushfire season collided
with a global pandemic. The second was marked by
extraordinary consumer demand that led to high levels
of manufacturing, imports, accommodation nights
and visitation as caravan and camping became
Australia’s most popular choice for holidaying.
