The number of overseas visitors heading to Australia dipped in January.
While the weaker Aussie dollar isn't stopping Australians from heading overseas, international visitor numbers fell 0.2 per cent to 659,100 in January, Australian Bureau of Statistics data show.
The dip in the number of short-term visitors who headed to Australia followed rises of around two per cent during November and December.
By comparison, the number of Aussies who left on overseas trips rose by nearly one per cent to 821,500 during January compared to the previous month.
However the rise was much weaker than the 3.7 per cent jump in December.
During January, Chinese tourist numbers were down slightly on the previous month.
The number of Chinese visitors fell half a per cent to 102,700, but were still 57 per cent higher than in January 2015.
New Zealanders again were the largest group of inbound visitors, with numbers rising five per cent to 116,200.
