Provision of food, ship supplies, maintenance requirements, fuel and beverages also helped stimulate economic activity. As an island nation, there are numerous potential access points for cruise ships. Australia is known to bring to the table new, innovative and exciting experiences (Campbell &Woods, 2013). Tourism in Australia mainly targets the North American market, because of the activities it undertakes in North America (Dwyer & Forsyth, n.d). The market in North America makes up the highest percentage of cruise passengers not only in Australia but also in the world.

Other than Australia, cruising marks an important business in all other parts of the world. From a global perspective, there is stiff competition in the tourism industry. The whole region of the South Pacific, including Australia, accounts only for 1.6% of the total cruising in the world (Mylne, 2007). The Caribbean enjoys about half the total cruising business in the world, in terms of largeness and foreign exchange (Dwyer & Forsyth, n.d). Around the years 1993-1994, the Australian government noted the significance of cruising in Australia and set aside funding in its annual budget, to develop the continent as a more aggressive and striking cruising target.

Cruising expenditure influences both directly and indirectly on Australia’s economy. On the suppliers, it influences directly since they sell services and goods to tourists and operators. Beverage and food suppliers, fuel s suppliers, restaurants, hotels, shops, entertainment, transport and tour companies among others, take in the expenditure of tourists as revenue (Dwyer & Forsyth, n.d). While satisfying the demand of tourists, the benefit accrues to workers as wages, to the employers as profit and to the government as revenue, acting as a source of development financing.
