Question – How/In what ways does Margaret river affect the tourism Industry of Australia?
The Margaret river is a small town south of Perth near Western Australia. The Margaret river has a large impact on the tourism industry because this place is known around the world.Some of the many things you can do in this place include swimming, caving, hiking, birdwatching, mountain biking and the main attraction which is surfing. The river affects the tourism because of all these attractions that are available, it has made people want to come here to spend their vacation.Not only that but this is a world class surfing spot where surfers of all levels can come here and train for anything. Professionals come here for world competitions that are viewed by many people worldwide. The river affects the tourism industry economically quite a lot as thousands and thousands of people come here very often and this benefits the tourism industry as when people see the many beautiful attractions, they are tempted to spend money and this increases the economic status of the tourism industry as well as Australia as a whole. It can also affect the industry socially because this place involves the government investing time in here as well as many people coming her for events and other different competitions. Although there are so many advantages, there are some disadvantages when it comes to every attractive place, there are many tourist industries that revolve their work around Margaret River and because of too many industries it is sometimes possibly to get too much profit because of the amount of competition you have around you. We can also see that accommodations when coming to the Margaret river is a huge profit for the tourist industry because many people choose to live in the resorts and beach houses that the different industries provide the people with and in return, they get a good amount of profit for staying over for a few nights, and so this just further adds on to my point of how economy for the tourist industry is going very good with an increase over time. Unfortunately, there is also another disadvantage, another main attraction other than surfing include sightseeing, this attraction is priceless and free which is a major downside for some industries because they are not earning anything from this especially since it is a free major attraction.These are all the main advantages and disadvantages that affects the tourism industry in Australia when it comes to Margaret River which truly is a worthwhile and very wonderful place.
