Investment Opportunities in Nature Based Tourism
Australia is one of the leading providers of nature-based tourism, with a diverse range of ecosystems, landscapes and wildlife, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. The country plays host to thousands of national parks and conservation reserves in Australia, and twenty UNESCO World Heritage listed attractions, including the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru.
Tourism Australia's own research consistently shows Australia as holding the number one global ranking for its world-class nature experiences; outperforming the likes of Switzerland, New Zealand and Canada.
Be inspired by the open spaces that seem to stretch on forever and tell the story of the exploration and development of our wide brown land.
