The most obvious strength of Australia is the diversity of natural and manmade attractions.Australia has hundreds of national parks,many of which are world heritage listed.Moreover,there are many unique plants and wildlife found nowhere else on earth.Conde Nast Traveller magazine has recently ranked Australia as the best desirable destination for travelers in 1998,with Sydney being chosen as the best city in the world.Another strength of Australia is the friendliness and easygoing attitude of Australian people,which is world-famous.In addition,the mix of Australian population is truly multicultural.This cultural diversity reflects in the diversity of art,entertainment,and cuisine found in Australia.Apart from the great mix of culture,Aboriginal culture is also another draw card for Australia.The recent survey found that 80% of European visitors want to see and experience Aboriginal culture when they come to Australia.
78.D
One of Australia's inherent weaknesses is its geographical isolation.This means Australia can not position itself as a mass tourism market.However,Australian Tourist Commission attempts to change the perception of distance barrier by promoting Australia as the destination that"takes only as long to get to as a flight between West coast United States and Europe".Restrictive visa policy is another weakness.Australia's visa policy is against international trend towards more freedom of international travel.In addition,visa fee of $ 50has been implemented upon the visitors from Asian countries.Visa regulation should be relaxed,at least to allow free entry for citizens of low risk countries,those which have low visa rejection rates and low overstay rates.
79.B
There are several new emerging markets,which represent a promising opportunity for Australia.These new markets are China,India,Philippines,and South America.China,in particular,is Australia's most promising market because Australia has recently been awarded official tourism destination status by the Chinese government.In only one year,the number of Chinese tourists has already become the sixth largest market for Australia,with the growth of 25%.Another opportunity is from backpackers market,which is becoming more important over time.In addition,they tend to stay longer than most average tourists.According to Office of National Tourismaverage backpackers stay 72nights in the country.In the year ended March 1997,255,700international backpackers visited Australia.
