Most international students to Australia are from Asia, heterogeneous and transnational in orientation and they constitute a growing and relatively new component of the youth tourism phenomenon. An analysis of the respondent visitor behaviours identifies five discernible archetypes: 'stay at homes'; 'city lovers'; 'country lovers'; 'enthusiasts'; and, 'moderates'. It is argued that three major factors influence respondent travel behaviours and attitudes; the type and duration of their education program, their cultural background and social and financial capital. The paper identifies tourism development opportunities and identifies a vulnerable student segment that is characterized by unfulfilling experiences during the period of residence in Australia. The paper contributes to knowledge about the inter-relationships and interdependencies between the international education and tourism sectors.

The policy was argued as a ‘win-win’ strategy that could support the needs of Australian businesses in a global trading environment while at the same time, take advantage of Australia’s multicultural workforce – a group identified as undervalued and unappreciated for the skills and talents that came with diverse languages and understanding of international business environments. Since that time, however, adoption by Australian business has been patchy.

Moving away from single foci approaches to tourism risk management, this paper examines the vulnerability and resilience factors of tourism destinations to multiple crises. Using a whole system destination vulnerability/resilience assessment, two case studies inform priorities for building future resilience to multiple crises at organisational and destination levels. Based on critical reflection, a simplified, multi-level destination resilience framework for interdisciplinary tourism researchers and managers is proposed.

The project is based on two case studies of small destinations that have been impacted by bushfires in recent years. The first case study is Harrietville - a small town in the Australian Alpine Region located on the Great Alpine Road between the regional centre of Bright and Mt Hotham, one of Victoria’s premier ski resorts. The town was severely impacted by ‘the Harrietville Fire’ that started in January 2013 and burned around the town over 55 days. The second case study is the 2015 ‘Wye River – Jamieson Track Fire’, that occurred in the Otway Ranges in December 2015. Starting on the 19th December, 2015, the fire broke containment lines on Christmas day, leading to the evacuation of Wye River and Separation Creek, two adjacen...

The discussion is informed by a study of Harrietville – a nature-based tourism destination in NE Victoria, Australia, that was affected by a major bushfire in 2013. Harrietville is a small town that acts as the gateway to premier ski fields and provides access to abundant nature-based attractions including iconic bushwalks, touring routes and rivers. The research aim was to investigate the impact of bushfire on the tourism economy and was based on a visitor survey and in-depth interviews with representatives from across stakeholder groups. A Destination Sustainability Framework (DSF) was applied to identify key vulnerability and resilience characteristics of the town as well as to identify opportunities for adaptation to future fires. Fragmented stakeholder communications and a lack of community engagement in planning for bushfire prevention, emergency management and recovery are identified as a key vulnerability. In response, government has successfully implemented initiatives to strengthen stakeholder relationships and engage the community in emergency planning processes. The article provides an important case study of resilience building by small tourism destinations as well as highlighting the importance of connecting with local knowledge in bushfire management.

It analyses the ways in which the nature of Vietnamese diaspora in Australia has impacted on their connections with the homeland. The paper presents the empirical findings of a research project conducted in three Australian cities. This paper assesses the nature of the Vietnamese diaspora in Australia critically applying Cohen’s [(2008). Global Diasporas. London: Taylor & Francis] typology of a refugee diaspora and analyses the extent of ties to the homeland in several domains of the diaspora-homeland relations. It analyses the impact of generally being perceived as a victim or refugee diaspora on ties with homeland. The discussion highlights key trends and characteristics in relation to diaspora-homeland ties, including the impact of being perceived as a victim/refugee diaspora on ties with homeland and the determinants on ties to the homeland, including age and place of birth.

However, the political mobilisation of diasporas has been increasingly seen as one of their recurrent features (Werbner 2000). Politically mobilised diaspora is a site of political organisation for or against the interests of homeland governments (Sheffer 2003). Political activism can also be expressed in advocating for the diaspora’s interests in the receiving countries, such as Australia. This chapter considers the Macedonian diaspora in Australia as a case study of a politically mobilised diaspora.

Hotels are the most common form of accommodation for tourists and the hotel industry is intricately to tourism. A review of the academic literature indicates that existing research is primarily focused on sustainability in tourism, but very few studies have analysed the environmental dimension of sustainability in hotels in Australia, an important facet of the Australian tourism industry. The paper presents the findings of the influence of stakeholders on environmentally sustainable policies and practices (ESPPs) in the Australian hotel industry. One-on-one interviews were conducted with hotel managers as a representative sample of Australian hotels in Melbourne, Australia. The selected sample for the research comprised managers who manage approximately 60 hotels. The data was collected through in-depth interviews. It was then transcribed, coded, and analysed with NVIVO, a computer-aided qualitative data analysis software program. The sample size ensured representation by different segments of the hotel industry to include international chain-affiliated hotels, Australian chain-affiliated hotels and independent hotels. An analysis of the findings suggests that owners and shareholders are the biggest influencers as their investment takes primary importance. Other key stakeholders such as guests generally play a secondary role in influencing the ESPPs of hotels. ESPPs should lead to well-intentioned initiatives and practices that are undertaken by stakeholders to create drivers for change to contribute to environmental sustainability.
