ADELAIDE - 9 January 2012: Adelaide held on to its number five spot in the Australian top 20 destinations in 2011, on leading accommodation website Wotif.com.

The list is based on more than 250,000 bookings per month by Wotif.com customers in 2011.

General Manager Wotif Brands Megan Magill said there were a number of changes to South Australia's top 10 list in 2011.

"Port Lincoln moved up three places to third in 2011 following a big year of promotion around unique adventure activities like swimming with sharks and sea lions," Ms Magill said.

"Port Augusta has also jumped one spot thanks to its thriving eco-tourism trade, with lots of people travelling to the region in 2011 to see the Flinders Ranges and Lake Eyre," she said.

Queensland continued to be the most represented state, with eight destinations in the top 20.
