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.

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.
