Q

Reasons why tourism increases each year

A

Today, you can fly from Australia to Europe in about 20 hours from the east coast, or under 17 hours flying nonstop from Perth. A similar journey by boat in the late 1940s took six weeks or more.

Airline and tour companies offer a range of cut-price deals, and the increased number of competitors for the tourist dollar means that travel is more affordable.

Improvements in transport and technology have increased our awareness and knowledge of the world around us and have sparked people’s desire to see new places and experience different cultures.

In general, the travelling public has more leisure time and more disposable income, making both domestic and international travel viable.
