Introduction

WORLD TOURISM DESTINATION IN AUSTRALIA IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE
AUSTRALIAN ECONOMY, AND COMPRISES DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL VISITORS.

IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2018/19, TOURISM WAS AUSTRALIA'S FOURTH-LARGEST
EXPORT AND OVER THE PREVIOUS DECADE WAS GROWING FASTER THAN NATIONAL GDP

GROWTH. AT THE TIME IT REPRESENTED 3.1% OF AUSTRALIA'S GDP CONTRIBUTING
A$60.8 BILLION TO THE NATIONAL ECONOMY. IN THE CALENDAR YEAR UP TO

DECEMBER 2019, THERE WERE 8.7 MILLION INTERNATIONAL VISITORS IN AUSTRALIA.
TOURISM EMPLOYED 666,000 PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA IN 2018–19, 1 IN 21 JOBS
ACROSS THE WORKFORCE. ABOUT 48% OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED IN TOURISM WERE

FULL-TIME AND 54% FEMALE. TOURISM ALSO CONTRIBUTED 8.2% OF AUSTRALIA'S
TOTAL EXPORT EARNINGS IN 2018–19.



POPULAR AUSTRALIAN DESTINATIONS INCLUDE THE COASTAL CITIES OF SYDNEY,
BRISBANE AND MELBOURNE, AS WELL AS OTHER HIGH-PROFILE DESTINATIONS
INCLUDING REGIONAL QUEENSLAND, THE GOLD COAST AND THE GREAT BARRIER REEF,
THE WORLD'S LARGEST REEF. ULURU AND THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK ARE OTHER
POPULAR LOCATIONS, AS IS THE TASMANIAN WILDERNESS. THE UNIQUE AUSTRALIAN
WILDLIFE IS ALSO ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT POINT OF INTEREST IN THE COUNTRY'S

TOURISM.

POLITICAL MAP OF
AUSTRALIA

THE MAP SHOWS AUSTRALIA, AN ISLAND COUNTRY IN THE
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. THE WORLD'S SMALLEST CONTINENT

BORDERS THE TIMOR SEA AND THE ARAFURA SEA IN THE
NORTH, THE CORAL SEA IN THE NORTHEAST, AND THE TASMAN
SEA IN THE SOUTHEAST. THE INDIAN OCEAN LIES TO THE WEST

AND THE SOUTHERN OCEAN TO THE SOUTH.



AUSTRALIA HAS NO LAND BORDERS. THE COUNTRY SHARES
MARITIME BORDERS WITH EAST TIMOR, INDONESIA, NEW
ZEALAND, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, SOLOMON ISLANDS, AND THE
ISLANDS OF NEW CALEDONIA (A SPECIAL COLLECTIVITY OF

FRANCE).



THE COUNTRY IS DIVIDED INTO SIX STATES AND TWO
TERRITORIES; THE STATES ARE NEW SOUTH WALES (NSW),
QUEENSLAND (QLD), SOUTH AUSTRALIA (SA), TASMANIA (TAS),

VICTORIA (VIC) AND WESTERN AUSTRALIA (WA), THE
TERRITORIES ARE THE NORTHERN TERRITORY (NT) AND THE
AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY (ACT) WITH THE NATION'S

CAPITAL CITY CANBERRA.

SEVERAL OUTLYING ISLANDS BELONG TO AUSTRALIA, ASHMORE AND CARTIER
ISLANDS, CHRISTMAS ISLAND, COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS, THE CORAL SEA

ISLANDS, THE HEARD AND MCDONALD ISLANDS, AND NORFOLK ISLAND.


ADJACENT TO THE CONTINENT'S SOUTHEASTERN COAST LIES THE

MOUNTAINOUS ISLAND OF TASMANIA, SEPARATED FROM THE MAINLAND BY
THE BASS STRAIT.



OFF THE NORTHEASTERN COAST OF THE COUNTRY LIES THE GREAT BARRIER
REEF, THE WORLD'S MOST EXTENSIVE CORAL REEF SYSTEM IN THE

SOUTHWESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN. THE GREAT BARRIER REEFOFFICIAL WEBSITE
IS A WORLD HERITAGE SITE.



AN AREA OF 7,692,024 KM² MAKES AUSTRALIA THE SIXTH LARGEST
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.



AUSTRALIA IS A MEMBER STATE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS.
THE COUNTRY HAS A POPULATION OF 25.4 MILLION PEOPLE (IN 2020);

CAPITAL IS CANBERRA, THE LARGEST CITY IS SYDNEY; OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IS
ENGLISH.

shows elevation with shaded relief. The
areas with an elevation near that of sea
level are shown in a dark green color,

such as the Lake Eyre Basin in South
Australia. Higher elevations are shown in

shades of tan and brown, like the
mountains of the Great Dividing Range
along the eastern coast, the Macdonnell

and the Hamersley Range in the west.
The Darling River and Murray River are

also clearly visible in the southeast.

DEMOGRAPHY

THE DEMOGRAPHY OF AUSTRALIA COVERS BASIC
STATISTICS, MOST POPULOUS CITIES, ETHNICITY AND
RELIGION. THE POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA IS ESTIMATED
TO BE 26,011,400 AS OF 8 JUNE 2022. AUSTRALIA IS
THE 55TH MOST POPULOUS COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
AND THE MOST POPULOUS OCEANIAN COUNTRY. ITS
POPULATION IS CONCENTRATED MAINLY IN URBAN AREAS

AND IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED 28 MILLION BY
2030.AUSTRALIA'S POPULATION HAS GROWN FROM AN

ESTIMATED POPULATION OF BETWEEN 300,000 AND
1,000,000 INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS AT THE TIME OF
BRITISH COLONISATION IN 1788 DUE TO NUMEROUS
WAVES OF IMMIGRATION DURING THE PERIOD SINCE.

ALSO DUE TO IMMIGRATION, THE EUROPEAN
COMPONENT'S SHARE OF THE POPULATION ROSE
SHARPLY IN THE LATE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES, BUT IS

NOW DECLINING AS A PERCENTAGE

DEMOGRAPHY

AUSTRALIA HAS AN AVERAGE POPULATION DENSITY OF
3.4 PERSONS PER SQUARE KILOMETRE OF TOTAL LAND

AREA, WHICH MAKES IT ONE OF THE MOST
SPARSELY POPULATED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.
THIS IS GENERALLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE SEMI-ARID
AND DESERT GEOGRAPHY OF MUCH OF THE INTERIOR

OF THE COUNTRY. ANOTHER FACTOR IS
URBANISATION, WITH 89% OF ITS POPULATION
LIVING IN A HANDFUL OF URBAN AREAS, AUSTRALIA IS
ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST URBANISED COUNTRIES.
THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF AUSTRALIA IN 2015–2017
WAS 83.2 YEARS, AMONG THE HIGHEST IN THE

WORLD.
AUSTRALIA DOES NOT GENERALLY COLLECT DATA ON
"RACE" AS SUCH. HOWEVER, THE AUSTRALIAN CENSUS
ASKS RESPONDENTS TO NOMINATE THEIR ANCESTRY,

INCLUDING WHETHER RESPONDENTS IDENTIFY AS
ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLE

AUSTRALIA’S POPULATION DENSITY IS AN INTERESTING ONE. CONSIDERING THAT
MOST OF THE COUNTRY’S POPULATION LIVES ALONG THE COAST IN THE BIGGEST

CITIES IN AUSTRALIA, THE OVERALL POPULATION DENSITY DOESN’T QUITE
CAPTURE HOW DENSE THE LIVABLE AREAS ACTUALLY ARE. 

HERE, WE EXPLAIN AUSTRALIA’S POPULATION DENSITY, WHY IT MATTERS AND
THE PROS AND CONS OF LIVING IN AUSTRALIA’S LARGE CITIES. 



WHILE AUSTRALIA IS THE 6TH LARGEST NATION IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF
PHYSICAL AREA, ITS POPULATION DENSITY IS INCREDIBLY LOW. AS OF JUNE

2020, AUSTRALIA’S POPULATION DENSITY IS 3.3 PEOPLE PER SQUARE
KILOMETRE. 

COMPARE THAT TO SOMEWHERE LIKE INDIA WHICH HAS A POPULATION
DENSITY OF 464 PEOPLE PER SQUARE KILOMETRE OR THE UNITED STATES WITH 36

PEOPLE PER SQUARE KILOMETRE, IT’S EASY TO SEE THAT AUSTRALIA’S
POPULATION IS SPREAD OUT. 

HOWEVER, IN THE BIGGEST CITIES IN AUSTRALIA SUCH AS SYDNEY AND
MELBOURNE, THE POPULATION DENSITY INCREASES

MELBOURNE’S INNER CITY HAS AUSTRALIA’S HIGHEST POPULATION
DENSITY AT 22,400 PEOPLE PER SQUARE KILOMETRE



POTTS POINT AND PYRMONT, BOTH IN SYDNEY’S INNER-CITY, HAVE THE
SECOND-HIGHEST POPULATION DENSITY IN AUSTRALIA AT 16,700 AND 16,500

PEOPLE PER SQUARE KILOMETRE, RESPECTIVELY



STILL, FOR A BIG CITY, THESE NUMBERS ARE STILL RELATIVELY LOW. TO PUT
THEM INTO PERSPECTIVE, NEW YORK CITY HAS A POPULATION DENSITY OF

OVER 38,000 PEOPLE PER SQUARE KILOMETRE.
AUSTRALIA’S POPULATION DENSITY IS LOW BECAUSE MOST OF THE
COUNTRY’S INTERIOR IS DESERT (ALSO KNOWN AS THE OUTBACK) AND

PRESENTS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT LIVING CONDITIONS. SO, WHILE
AUSTRALIA’S MAJOR CITIES HAVE POPULATION DENSITIES COMPARABLE TO
THE REST OF THE WESTERN WORLD, WHEN YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
ALL THE EMPTY SPACE IN THE MIDDLE, YOU GET A LOW OVERALL POPULATION

1).POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM
•ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NOT AS MANY (FAR FROM IT!) POSITIVE

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM AS THERE ARE
NEGATIVE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT TOURISM CAN HELP

PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT!
THE MOST COMMONLY NOTED POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACT OF TOURISM IS RAISED AWARENESS. MANY
DESTINATIONS PROMOTE ECOTOURISM AND SUSTAINABLE
TOURISM AND THIS CAN HELP TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM. DESTINATIONS SUCH

AS COSTA RICA AND THE GAMBIA HAVE FANTASTIC
ECOTOURISM INITIATIVES THAT PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTALLY-
FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES. THERE ARE ALSO MANY

NATIONAL PARKS, GAME RESERVES AND CONSERVATION
AREAS AROUND THE WORLD THAT HELP TO PROMOTE POSITIVE

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM.

2).NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM
•NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM OCCUR

WHEN THE LEVEL OF VISITOR USE IS GREATER THAN THE
ENVIRONMENT’S ABILITY TO COPE WITH THIS USE.
UNCONTROLLED CONVENTIONAL TOURISM POSES

POTENTIAL THREATS TO MANY NATURAL AREAS AROUND
THE WORLD. IT CAN PUT ENORMOUS PRESSURE ON AN AREA
AND LEAD TO IMPACTS SUCH AS: SOIL EROSION, INCREASED
POLLUTION, DISCHARGES INTO THE SEA, NATURAL HABITAT
LOSS, INCREASED PRESSURE ON ENDANGERED SPECIES AND

HEIGHTENED VULNERABILITY TO FOREST FIRES. IT OFTEN
PUTS A STRAIN ON WATER RESOURCES, AND IT CAN FORCE

LOCAL POPULATIONS TO COMPETE FOR THE USE OF
CRITICAL RESOURCES.

culture




THE CULTURE OF AUSTRALIA IS PRIMARILY A WESTERN CULTURE,
ORIGINALLY DERIVED FROM BRITAIN BUT ALSO INFLUENCED BY

THE UNIQUE GEOGRAPHY OF AUSTRALIA AND THE CULTURAL
INPUT OF ABORIGINAL, TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER AND OTHER

AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE.

FOOD

AUSTRALIA IS A MULTICULTURAL NATION AND THE INFLUENCES OF

GLOBAL CULTURES CAN BE SEEN IN EVERYDAY AUSTRALIAN FOOD.
OVER TIME, WE HAVE SOMEHOW MADE THEM OUR “OWN”, YET

THEIR FOREIGN ORIGINS REMAIN NONETHELESS. OUR BRITISH
HERITAGE CERTAINLY HAS PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN SHAPING OUR

FOOD, ALONG WITH OUR AMERICAN, EUROPEAN AND ASIAN
CONNECTIONS, WHICH HAVE ALL PLAYED A MAJOR PART AS WELL.

PRACTICAL FOOTWEAR, MOLESKIN TROUSERS, AND WIDE-

TRANSPORTATION



AUSTRALIA IS ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE COUNTRIES ON EARTH
MAKING GETTING HERE A DEFINITE CHALLENGE. GETTING TO
MOST METROPOLISES CAN ONLY BE DONE BY AIR, WITH
SYDNEY, MELBOURNE, BRISBANE, PERTH, AND ADELAIDE
POSSESSING THE BUSIEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS. ONCE

INSIDE THE COUNTRY, TOURISTS CAN TRAVEL FROM CITY TO CITY
THROUGH TRAIN, BUS, OR RENTAL CAR. NEVERTHELESS, THE VAST
SIZE OF THE COUNTRY MEANS THAT DOMESTIC FLIGHTS ARE

STILL THE MOST CONVENIENT INTRASTATE TRAVEL OPTION

AXLISS AND CAR

TAXIS ARE GREAT WHEN TRAVELING WITHIN
CITIES. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT RECOMMENDED
FOR INTRASTATE TRAVEL, AS SERVICES ARE QUITE
EXPENSIVE. YELLOW CABS AND BLACK & WHITE

CABS ARE TWO OF THE LARGEST TAXI
COMPANIES IN THE COUNTRY. TAXIS CHARGE BY

THE METER, AND RATES DIFFER ACCORDING TO
THE TIME OF DAY AND TYPE OF TAXI ORDERED.
FOR EXAMPLE, LIMOUSINE TAXIS ARE MUCH

MORE EXPENSIVE THAN REGULAR SEDANS.

TOURIST
ATTRACTION

AUSTRALIA IS A LAND OF DREAMS. FROM THE SACRED
LEGENDS OF THE ABORIGINAL DREAMTIME, WHEN THE GREAT
SPIRITS CONJURED THE CORAL REEFS, RAINFORESTS, AND RED

DESERTS, TO ARMCHAIR TRAVELERS WHO DESCRIBE
AUSTRALIA AS THEIR DREAM DESTINATION, THE LAND DOWN
UNDER DESERVES ALL THE HYPE. THE WORLD'S SMALLEST
CONTINENT AND LARGEST ISLAND, AUSTRALIA IS ALMOST THE
SAME SIZE AS THE UNITED STATES BUT WITH A POPULATION
THE SIZE OF NEW YORK STATE AND SOME OF THE QUIRKIEST

WILDLIFE ON THE PLANET

MENTION "SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA" AND 1.SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE,
MOST PEOPLE THINK OF THE OPERA NEW SOUTH WALES
HOUSE. SHAPED LIKE HUGE SHELLS OR
BILLOWING SAILS, THIS FAMOUS
BUILDING ON SYDNEY'S BENNELONG
POINT GRACES THE LIST OF UNESCO
WORLD HERITAGE SITES AND IS ONE

OF THE WORLD'S GREAT
ARCHITECTURAL ICONS.



THE LOCATION IS STUNNING. WATER
SURROUNDS THE STRUCTURE ON THREE

SIDES, AND THE ROYAL BOTANIC
GARDENS BORDER IT TO THE SOUTH

2. GREAT BARRIER REEF MARINE YOU CAN'T LEAVE AUSTRALIA WITHOUT SEEING
PARK, QUEENSLAND THE GREAT BARRIER REEF. THIS WORLD

HERITAGE-LISTED NATURAL WONDER IS ONE
OF THE LARGEST LIVING STRUCTURES ON THE
PLANET. IT'S SO VAST, YOU CAN SEE IT FROM

OUTER SPACE. FOR DIVERS, SNORKELERS,
ISLAND AFICIONADOS, AND NATURE LOVERS,

IT'S A BUCKET LIST DESTINATION.



IN 1975, THE GREAT BARRIER REEF MARINE
PARK WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT ITS
FRAGILE ECOSYSTEMS. THESE INCLUDE MORE
THAN 3,000 CORAL REEFS; 600 CONTINENTAL

ISLANDS, INCLUDING THE BEAUTIFUL
WHITSUNDAY GROUP; 300 CORAL CAYS; AND

INSHORE MANGROVE ISLANDS.

DEEP IN THE HEART OF AUSTRALIA'S RED 3. ULURU-KATA TJUTA NATIONAL

4. SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE, NEW SOUTH WALES

ALONG WITH THE OPERA HOUSE, THE
SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE IS ONE

OF AUSTRALIA'S TOP ARCHITECTURAL
ICONS. AFFECTIONATELY CALLED
"THE COATHANGER," THIS

IMPRESSIVE FEAT OF CONSTRUCTION

DEMAND FOR TOURISM IN AUSTRALIA )



DEMAND FOR TOURISM IN AUSTRALIA HAS BEEN INFLUENCED BY TWO KEY
FACTORS (HALL,1998):•THE DISTANCE OF AUSTRALIA FROM MAJOR

GENERATING MARKETS; AND•THE LARGE SIZE DISTANCES BETWEEN MAJOR
URBAN CENTRES IN AUSTRALIA.THIS MEANS THAT SIGNIFICANT INBOUND
TOURISM VOLUMES REMAIN OUT OF REACH FOR AUS-TRALIA, LEAVING
DOMESTIC TOURISM AS THE MAINSTAY OF AUSTRALIAN TOURISM,

REPRESENT-ING AROUND 75% OF ACTIVITY. CAPITAL CITIES FORM RELATIVELY
SELF-CONTAINED DOMESTICTOURISM MARKETS WHILST AUSTRALIA’S

AGEING POPULATION MEANS THAT BOTH OUTBOUNDAND DOMESTIC TRAVEL
PRODUCTS HAVE TO ADAPT TO THE CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES OF

THEMARKET. AUSTRALIA’S INBOUND MARKETS ARE ALSO AGEING, WITH THE
CONSEQUENT NEED TOCHANGE PRODUCTS AND PROMOTIONAL MESSAGES.
