OUTCOME 1 — DESCRIPTION

The number of visitors to Australia from overseas will increase and the benefits to Australia from overseas visitors will be maximised, including benefits from employment, while promoting the principles of ecologically sustainable development and seeking to raise awareness of the social and cultural impacts of international tourism in Australia

Inbound tourism is a major source of export earnings for Australia. In 2000-01 the industry will generate $15.4 billion in export earnings and over the next five years will inject a total of $90.56 billion into the Australian economy. In 1997-98 tourism was directly responsible for the employment of over 513,000 persons -6% of all those employed. As previously stated the ATC’s principal statutory objectives are:

• 
  to increase the numbers of visitors to Australia from overseas;
  
• 
  to maximise the benefits to Australia from overseas visitors; and
  
• 
  in meeting those objects, to work with other relevant agencies to promote the principles of ecologically sustainable development set out in subsection 21(3) of the Natural Heritage Trust of Australia Act 1997 and to seek to raise awareness of the social and cultural impacts of international tourism to Australia.
  

These objectives are necessarily interlinked. In consultation with the Departments of Finance and Administration (DoFA) and Industry Science and Resources (ISR) it was agreed that the ATC would have one outcome to reflect these three statutory objectives.

ATC’s outcome-output framework, described in this Statement, has been incorporated in the Commission’s planning process and set out in the ATC’s Corporate Plan. This will ensure an integrated approach to planning and evaluation at all levels of the organisation, and establish linkages between ATC’s statutory objectives, corporate strategies and organisational activities which give effect to the achievement of ATC’s outcome.
