Method & notes
Tourism receipts show the economic footprint of domestic travel and help distinguish high-volume destinations from high-spend destinations.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita reproduces DOSM's published state-level domestic tourism receipts from the Domestic Tourism Survey (States) for 2024 and 2025.
- Tourism receipts cover domestic visitor expenditure and are not the same as state government revenue.
- Higher receipts can reflect visitor volume, trip length and spending patterns.
- The figures are survey estimates and should be interpreted using DOSM's published Domestic Tourism Survey methodology.
