Tourism Planning Environment 3National tourism planning-addressing the effects of Going, going ... gone?1.Position statement I work for Australia Department of Tourism which is a government institution task withthe management of tourism in Australia. The Australia Department of Tourism works at thenational level as a branch of the government of Australia in charge of tourism. The AustraliaDepartment of Tourism is a government agency task with tourism management. The departmentplays a major role in attracting tourist to Australia. The role the agency is to provide informationand current data on tourism and advertise the Australian tourism within the country and globally.The value of the organization or agency is to build resilience and competitiveness Australia’stourism industry and increase its economic contribution to the Australian economy (Luce2003).The organization has both external and internal influence that shapes the operation of theorganization. The organization has goals such to achieving more than $115 billion budget inovernight spend and maximum economic contribution of the tour to Australia (Australian Bureauof Statistics, 2014). My plan seeks to address the effects of the reduction of flora and fauna thatare the main tourist attraction in Australia especially in Tasmania East Coast. According toCSIRO, one of the megatrends is what it calls “Going, going ... gone?” and concerns continuousdepletion of the flora and fauna which is the main tourist attraction (Hughes, Daily & Ehrlich2000, Pages 71–83). 2.Background context Most of tourists that come to Australia are attracted to unique beautiful flora and faunafound in the Tasmania East Coast region. Tourism is faced by several issues that include the

Forinstance, thylacine an animal that used to live within Tasmania was exterminated in the region in1936 (Boyce 2006, pp 102-129). Tourism, more so at the national level, requires to reviews floraand fauna’s depletion rate issue since it points to detrimental level. Only 42% of this region iscurrently under protection and there is need for more of these resource to be protected especiallynear East Coast region (Fernando2014,pp. 34-50). Most of the visitors coming to Australia are attracted due to the natural resources withinthe Tasmania East Coast (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2017). Visitors that visitedAustralia within the financial year that ended in June 2017 are estimated to be 8.5 million. Thisnumber is estimated to be 8.9% increase from the previous year. Per Wattanacharoensil&Schuckert (2016),the income that isplowed into the Australian economy is approximate $40.6billion. The figure also represents 7% increase from the previous year (Dredge & Jenkins 2007, p336). Natural resource conservation is one of the areas within the tourism sector that play animportant role with a reasonable number of employees. Generally Australian tourism industryemploys around 1 million employees of which 929000 are employed either directly or indirectlyin the tourism sector of the Australian economy. The number of employees in tourism sectorrepresents 8% of all employees in Australian labor market. Of this number, 7% are employed inconservation of flora and fauna. More than 2000 employees for instance are employed directly innational parks on permanent basis alone (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2014). Some other hugenumbers of employees are indirectly employed in conservation and conservation research relatedareas. The employees number still deficit with nearly 38000 vacancies remaining unfilled in the
