Tourism Industry is a major contributor to the Australian GDP and it’sconstantly increasing its market share. Since past two decades,Australian tourism especially international tourism has been growingevery year. So, let’s discuss how and why this country has beenattracting enthusiasts from all over the world. Visa is definitely required to enter this tourist heaven, butnot if you are a New Zealander. Travelers need a full visa. However,few passport holders from OECD and people from some East Asiancountries are permitted to apply through a simple procedure adopted byElectronic Travel Authority. Along with the presence of beautiful panoramas and excitingadventure opportunities, the government has also taken much effort topromote Australian Tourism .Many commercials are published in every corner of the world thathighlights attractions of Australia. Few publicity activities are alsobased on the laid back attitude of the country. And few campaigns arealso influenced by its bold and cheeky behavior. This country makes sure that every year many advertisements mustbe released in most of the countries around the world becauseAustralian tourism is a major contributor to its GDP. People from many countries visit this island. However, there arefew countries that primarily contribute to the growth of Australianindustry. The top ten countries from where people visit this island are- New Zealand, Japan, United Kingdom, United States, China, SouthKorea, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Germany. Although it’s difficult to differentiate the number of peoplevisiting Australia for business meetings and that for touristactivities, it can be appropriately said that the former is greaterthan the latter. It’s been noticed that Japanese travelers make up a unique and extensive part of Australian tourism sector. These tourists visit Australia specifically to witness themagnificence of iconic places like Gold Coast, Cairns, Sydney, andUluru. Again, almost every tourist’s schedule involves exploring thecountry’s wildlife especially koala. Another major contributor to this industry is the backpackerpopulation. This group of people are young and mostly from NorthAmerica and Western European countries. These travelers spend much moretime in Australia than any other tourist. Many of these backpackersvisit this country on a working holiday visa that enables them to spendmore time in the country. This visa is for people in the age group of18-30 years, who like to work and spend for a year in Australia. It can also be inappropriate to say that Australian tourism iscompletely driven by international tourists. Australians are very keenon traveling especially domestically. And why would someone like totravel to other countries when Australia itself is remarkably beautifulwith white beaches, abundant national parks, and audacious adventures.
