Why do some hostels only allow international visitors?
Some of the hostels in the Gold Coast, Australia, only allow international visitors. I'm a bit surprised at this because the average Australian is not at all dangerous only dangerous in the same way your average backpacker is (likely to drink a lot, be an obnoxious idiot, etc.).
Are there some crime or safety reasons for this?
Best Answer
Some places have laws that make it hard and expensive to evict hotel guests who overstay their welcome. International visitors often have to leave the country after a set amount of days, which makes it easy to get rid of them. Unfortunately I do not know if there are any of these "hard to evict" problems in Australia.

Answer 2
Well, That happened to one of my friend. It's true that this happen often. Like the comment above mentioned, some hostels want to have a global social environment rather than bunch of people from the country. I think also the people who use the hotels expect the travelers to be from around the world which create a different environment. Don't be upset but that's the way it is. I travel with 2 passports so I can always find a hostel which accommodate me. I don't frequent them often due to other issues I don't want to discuss. In brief, try not to go to a hostel in your own country.
