Australia: a growing fascination

According to some travel specialists, Australia is now an exotic destination of choice for Russian travellers. With world-class tourist infrastructure, exotic wildlife, pristine wilderness areas and welcoming people (including Russian-speaking guides), Australia offers one of the most unique travel experiences in the world today. An expanding number of airline connections means there has never been a better time to see Australia.

Australia offers an unrivalled variety of natural attractions that appeal to a wide-ranging audience, including diving and wilderness adventure holidays. From diving on the Great Barrier Reef to outback adventure and safari tours, travel in Australia has much to offer the Russian tourist.

See the Visit Australia section of this website for more information about Australia's best-known attractions in Russian.

Partners in tourism

As one of the world's most popular travel destinations, Australia has a sophisticated and well-developed tourism industry. Australian travel operators are enthusiastic about collaborating with Russian business partners across many areas including:

• Travel agency relationships and distribution
• Operation of tourist attractions, hotels, resorts and other facilities to international standards
• Transportation and travel logistics
• Eco-tourism and environmentally sustainable travel
• Technology and consulting for efficient tourism infrastructure.

Russians' growing interest in Australia means there is a great opportunity for Russian travel agencies and tour operators to grab a share of the expanding outbound tourism market to Australia.
