The aim of this course is to examine the factors responsible for competitiveness of international tourism destinations. Important elements such as cross-cultural awareness and communication in the development of international tourism and the subsequent role of global destination marketing are examined. In addition, the course aims to develop an appreciation in students of different cultures and how cross-cultural communication influences and enriches the tourism experience in addition to the political and economic impacts of international tourism. The course examines international tourism trends from the perspective of the major generating and destination regions.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
