Tourism Industry in Australia
– History of tourism in Australia is very
old but with war in 1914-18 there is some increased and improvement in the
Australian tourism. Australian Tourism
Industry is growing with rapid rate. In
the year 2014 Australian tourism industry contributed 2.7% of total GDP of
Australia which is $43.4 Million. With that tourism developed employment which
contributes to the employment in the country. In the year 2014 tourism generate
534000 jobs in Australia which is 4.6% of total employment. Government of
Australia try to develop tourism industry with more growth rate they have fixed
the plan of “Tourism 2020” where government targeted reach international
visitor at 9.6 million per annum from 6.8 million arrivals per annum. Increasing investment in tourism investment
leads to attract foreign visitor in the country. Tourism 2020 have goal to
reach at overnight visitors expenditure up $115 to $140 billion. Research
reveals that every Dollar spent in tourism generates $1.92 in the economy of
Australia. For improvement of the tourism industry, Australia takes
international initiatives includes engagement with china, medical education
tourism, international education tourism and international engagement etc. In
international engagements Australia work for enhance develop relationship with
the global countries. In engagement with China, Australia targeted to Chinese
visitors and Australia trade developed bilateral agreement between both the countries
and provide relaxation to the visitor from China.
In
the same way international education tourism and medical tourism is one of the
best way of the Australia to attract international visitor in Australia. In this
scheme government liberalise visa rules for the students coming for the study
purpose in the country. Moreover Australia tourism industry is an attraction
for the international and local visitor but the schemes launches by the
government is new reforms towards attraction of the international visitors in
the country. To attract more and more visitor in the country and remove
investment barriers Australia take some key actions in the plan 2020-
-
Collaboration with the
more and more nation effectively.
-
Facilitation to the
foreign investor for investment in the Australia tourism.
-
Liberalisation in the regulation
of the Australia towards tourism and creating environment more supporting to
the tourism.
-
Creating more and more
accommodation and incentive to the investors in the accommodation investment.
-
Increasing labour
supply in tourism industry.
-
Tourism Australia and
Austrade work collectively with the territory and state government for
promotion of opportunity in Australian tourism.
From
the plan of the tourism 2020 Australia achieved so many things and some target
are remain left which may be achieve in near future. Target which are achieve
by Austrade are as under –
-
Opportunities for
tourism investment in the Australia are now globally boom and more and more
investors are attracted towards country. Now there 168 projects of tourism
investments are in pipeline of which value are $53.7 billion. Which is 8.7%
more compared to the year 2013.
-

So
looking to the reforms of the Australian tourism industry we can say that Australia
is become fastest tourism growing country. Policy and regulation of the country
is also like attract to the investors.
Australia is more interested to attract Asian investor as they have
increasing investment in Australia.
Conclusion – Reforms to
the tourism industry Australia have taken major action and issued some schemes
to attract more investors and visitors. Australia planned the Tourism 2020 and
targeted which are near about to achieve. Few targets of tourism 2020 are
remain which may be achieved in near future. With that country issue other
schemes as well to attract students for studies which also a major source for
the revenue in the tourism. Looking to
the results from the plan and achievement we can say that efforts for reform
tourism industry have positive impacts. The entire plan developed are achieved
and based on that tourism minister of Australia develop new plan which is also
targeted to achieve in 2020. In the same
country’s tourism contribution in GDP is also increased with compared to the
year 2013. Some new cultural programme are also begin to invite more visitors
as visitors spending is one of the major parts of revenue from tourism. As
standalone development of accommodation by the single investor is very hard to
achieve hence they create planned for mixed investments, where one or more
investor come together with the help of government to invest in big projects. So
we can say that Australian tourism development reforms are boom in the word
with rapid growth, policy, opportunities and best strategies.
