Tourism in Australia Facing Major Challenges
Climate change poses the biggest long-term challenge to tourism in Australia, but an increasingly competitive global market is providing more immediate problems, says a tourist industry expert.
"Climate change has the potential to impact on Australia's unique natural environment and affect consumers' travel destinations, so it is important that the industry work with government to develop a comprehensive, measurable response," Tourism and Transport Forum's (TTF) National Manager Caroline Wilkie told The Epoch Times.
The threat of climate change is causing many in the tourism industry to seriously reconsider their business operations according to the latest industry survey, Tourism Futures, taken in the lead-up to the Tourism Futures conference on June 2–4.
