Travel and Tourism in Australia 2017 Report at RnR Market Research

The Australian government considers tourism a priority sector and under its Tourism 2020 plans, intends to provide support to key competitors, state and territory governments to increase total overnight expenditure by 2020. The main components of Tourism 2020 are to expand inflows and expenditure from key Asian markets, to build competitive digital capabilities, to encourage investment by implementing regulatory reforms and to increase the sector’s labor supply. Economic growth will help support government efforts to strengthen the sector. Australia’s economy grew at a CAGR of 3.6% in 2012 − the fastest rate of growth since 2007.
