arrival. Therefore, their primary notion is to increase
the expenditure on the goods and services provided
to the tourists. The demanded programmes by the
tourists in given destination can also be expressed
as a source of pricing and marketing expenses they
are dealing into. Moreover, Australia always had
been one of the strongest economies of the world in
terms of tourism, as for these reasons the TLEM

designed, vibrant, tourism activity (Ruhanen,
Whitford and McLennan 2015).

 The involvement of community plays as an very important factor in the tourism
industry as to host the tourists and to help them involving in the locals. As the

 Critical Analysis of the Tourism Policies in
Australia
 In course of the development of the tourism
industry of Australia, the climate change has
risen up as a major issue and the change of the
climate in several regions are happening
because of the excessive amount of tourist
visits. This change will lead the tourism business
in a material threat. For an example, the wildlife
of the Kakadu Park, considered as a World
Heritage site was affecting by the tourist season.
Many bird species were disturbed as the tourist
boats passed them. In order to save the wildlife
and decrease the climate change the tourism
policies need to change and the tourist visits
need to be limited.

happening in the Great Barrier Reef
like scuba diving and snorkelling are
increasing the impacts on the
environment, which includes activities
like destruction of the reefs as by
touching, resting on them, anchoring
boats (Voyer et al. 2017). Moreover,
the changes in behaviour of fish also
observed by the ecologists also
suggests to change the tourism
policies as to control the amount of
tourists in the spots where climate or
behavioural change is happening.
