Synopsis This subject is designed to provide an historical overview of tourism in Australia while focusing on how the built structure of the tourism industry is maintained and changed. Particular emphasis is given to local, State and Federal Government policy, planning and processes which go towards establishing different types of tourism `landscape'. The topics are chosen to stimulate discussion at both a general level and and more specifically in sites introduced as case studies in the latter half of the subject. Field trips to Sovereign Hill Ballarat (day excursion) and Mt Buller Alpine Resort (overnight) are compulsory.
