Abstract

The number of inbound tourist arrivals to Australia has increased markedly in the past 15 years, along with the economic, social, and environmental significance of tourism. One of the consequences of this growth has been a new interest in tourism-related education and research. This article traces the rapid changes in this research in the past 15 years, identifies some of the achievements so far, and suggests the future for tourism research in Australia.
