Research By observing this web of law and continuous change through numerous referendums, we can begin to grasp an understanding of the hesitancy displayed in mandating professional standards within not only the tourism industry, but most public services regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Although it is a precarious subject, there have been many studies conducted regarding the economic impacts of tourism on some of Australia’s Indigenous communities. Mainly, the studies have been conducted in Uluru, the Northern Territory, East Kimberley, and Western Australia (***Altman 1987, Central Land Council et al 1987), as well as others involving tourism in Kakadu National Park, Victoria and Kuranda, and Queensland, and its sociocultural impacts on local Aboriginal peoples (file:///C:/Users/Balder/Downloads/PDF%20-%20Thesis%20(1).pdf). Through these studies, it has been found that although environmental, social, and cultural costs may override the economic benefits of tourism, Altman (1989) found that the economic impact of tourism in the Northern Territory was constructive, but it seemed to depend on local ownership of tourism enterprises and further reliance on employment opportunities. This tends to be difficult for Aboriginal people due to a lack of funds, and can result in major hurdles trying to raise capital to fund these projects (Altman 1989). Moreover, when an Aboriginal community is able to begin a tourist enterprise, it tends to distribute funds
There are many tourism advantages at Uluru (Ayers Rock). Well-managed tourism can generate the financial and political support, which is needed to sustain the values of protected areas (such as Uluru). It can also increase understanding of the environment and its cultural values, which contributes to enriching visitors experience of Uluru. Each year more than 250,000 people visit Uluru and its national park from all around the world, that’s around 680 people each day. This is good economically as the entry fees are between $15 and $65. Uluru is opened all year round. Nationally, the nature-based tourism sector contributes $23 billion to the Australian economy each year.

Tourism is an endeavour sought by an individual or a party of individuals, which leads to a movement from one place to another with the idealism of a specific task, to visit a place or several places with the primary purpose of achieving entertainment and increasing knowledge of countries, cultures, and their history. The expression ‘largest industry in the world’ is universally used with mention to tourism, ensuring its recognition as the largest generator of wealth (over 11.7% of the global gross domestic product) and employment (7% of the world’s jobs); this shows that tourism is indeed an important industry that depends on culture and legacy.(Budeanu, 2002) Vancouver is feasibly one of the most prevalent tourist destinations in Canada
Britain has been over the news due to the British exit the European Union, which this event is known as Brexit (Hunt, 2016). This decision brought a large impact on every country in Britain, but the Britain has not started negotiate with European Union about adapting regulations to minimize their negative consequences. Before people can list potential impacts of Brexit on Britain’s tourism, it is important for people to understand how well the Britain was doing in the tourism industry. In addition, it is important to analyze and understand what type of tourism impacts on Britain. So, people would know how Brexit will change its policy and what impacts will bring to their current life. It will provide an idea of how the changes of regulations will impact different countries and the region. Thus, it provides an understanding of how tourism helps to develop the Britain in terms of environmental impacts, socio-cultural impacts, and economic impacts.
Education is fundamental to growth, the growth of the individual, and the growth of a nation. Anthropologically this can be seen from the earliest of developments of human societies where practices emerge to ensure the passing of accumulated knowledge from one generation to the next. In the centuries since the invasion and colonisation of Australia in 1788, colonist authorities and governments have dominated the making of policies regarding most major aspects of Australian life, including the lives of Indigenous Australians. The enactment of these policies and legislation, whether targeted at society as a whole or directly at education, has had significant and most often negative causal impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, resulting in not only poor educational outcomes, but the loss of cultural identity, the development of serious issues in health and wellbeing, and the restriction of growth of Aboriginal communities. Moreover, there has been an ongoing pattern of the adoption of ill-informed policies in Australia, resulting in these poor outcomes and cultural decimation. Aboriginal people have developed a wariness, a mistrust, and even an attitude of avoidance to engage with non-Indigenous officials and those who they associate as their representatives, i.e. personnel working within
Introduction of new temptations into Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people’s lives such as alcohol, drugs, processed foods or un-natural to their culture, technology (more in the 20th century plus), clustered living environments, un-organization (within the community, family), money and greed
The complex history of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people causes a great deal of mistrust in the other cultures who now live and existing in Australia, a mistrust of the systems in place. After European colonisation and the impact of the Stolen Generations, asking the original land owners of Australia to trust the policies and procedures in place in today’s society is a big ask, considering it was the policies and procedures of our government that resulted in the Stolen Generation in the first place. It is also difficult for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to prosper in mainstream culture of Australia, as there are a great many barriers preventing them from understanding the processes for everyday things such as medical appointments and assistance, education and employment. According to a the National Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage Report as quoted in a piece of writing entitled The Social Cultural and Historical Context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians ‘Indigenous people are the
To ensure cultural safety and professional relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people I will need to “create an environment that is physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally safe for people” where they are not judged for whom they are or how they live (Cultural Safety, n.d). I need to ensure that professional relationships in the workplace are based on shared respect, shared knowledge and experience, tolerance of diversity and shared understanding of cultural safety. I need to have an open mind. I need to be knowledgeable and professional at all times. Respect has to be earned. I need to ensure that I respect and behave in a sensitive manner towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, in order to get their
Australia’s Indigenous population is made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, each of whom, have discernible and diverse language, customs and cultures, spanning time immemorial (Reynolds, 2005). Aboriginal Australians maintain symbiotic interrelationships to Country, culture and kin (Sherwood, 2013), engaging in a worldview which holistically connects the wellbeing of individuals to their community and also, to place and the land. This sense of wellbeing includes varying aspects of physical, social, emotional, cultural and spiritual education (Malin & Maidment, 2003); and in determining the propagation of Country, care and sustenance of the land is imperative for maintaining its wellness, in addition to the reciprocity that this wellness provides by return, to the people (Yunupingu, 1997). The encompassing health of individuals, community and Country, is dictated through the education passed down by the Law of The Dreaming and Ancestors, ensuring balance between the aspects of wellbeing (Sherwood, 2013). It is a markedly different framework to that of Western cultures (Reynolds, 2005); and one that was interrupted, maligned and denigrated, by invasion.
Through my life, I have seen several different approaches to Indigenous people’s rights and importance in Australia. I have been fortunate enough to visit Ayers Rock and undertake a tour which allowed me to see Aboriginal culture in art and drawings as well as hearing Dreamtime stories from guides. I have also witnessed family friends who have been severely racist and disrespectful of Indigenous heritage and history. I also was lucky to work with some Indigenous students who were in Reception during my Professional Experience 1, and I was able to see first-hand how a culture clash can affect a student’s behaviour. I feel that even before entering this course, I have had the privilege of being able to observe both positives and negatives
Key information about the demographics of domestic consumers participating in Aboriginal tourism experiences, as well as their general attitudes towards participating in Aboriginal tourism experiences.
Australian government today recognises that educational policies regarding Aboriginal people cannot be made without considering social and economic policies aimed at improving outcomes for Aboriginal communities in general (TICHR, 2006). Main contemporary issues facing Aboriginal communities are proving land ownership, remoteness, health status, education and employment status and social attitude of Non-Aboriginal population towards the Aboriginal communities (Challenges facing the Indigenous communities today, n.d.). Tackling this issue is not a simple task: the document “National Indigenous Reform Agreement” (2010) which aims to improve outcomes for all Indigenous Australians recognizes that this process needs approach from different aspects, taking into account “seven key building blocks: Early Childhood, Schooling, Health, Economic Participation, Healthy Homes, Safe Communities, and Governance and Leadership” (as cited in DET Queensland,
For the last 200 years Indigenous people have been victims of discrimination, prejudice and disadvantage. Poor education, poor living conditions and general poverty are still overwhelming issues for a large percentage of our people and we remain ‘as a group, the most poverty stricken sector of the working class’ in Australia (Cuthoys 1983).
