The Tourism Minister's upbeat as international travellers continue to spend more here.

The latest International Visitor Survey shows overseas visitors added $2.6 billion to the economy in the June quarter, an annual increase of 17%.

It comes a day after the Government's announcement that the International Visitor Levy will rise by almost 200% to $100 from next month.

Matt Doocey told Mike Hosking there was no connection between the two announcements.

He says tourism operators believe they have better product and experiences, which need to be celebrated.
