The project is developed to attract the customers from all over the world to initiate tourism activity in the country of Australia.

From the research study, we have concluded that the traditional tourism structure was developed only for the local public only but with the development of the new structure we are able to provide invitation to the new customers in the global market to visit wonderful places of Australia. The audience of the global world can be attracted through the demonstration of images of the tourist places located in Australia [6].

The scope of the project is to resolve the issues which exist with the traditional working of the tourism sector in Australia. The generation of the new plans helps in overcoming gaps which exist with the tourism sector in Australia [7]. The designing of the web portal helps in providing information and awareness to the customers located globally all around the world. The cost estimation plan should be in the budget approved of minimum $ 10000 and Maximum $ 80000.
