Cairns' new market drops in its tracks

Article Abstract:

The Asian tourist market is quite volatile. Cairns, Australia, had its Korean tourism market growing at a rate of 70% per year and increased its flights from the area. A major decrease in tourism started in Dec 1997 which is expected to decrease Cairns' hoteliers' income by $5 billion in 1998. North American and European tourism is more predictable but the length of the trip requires more careful planning for these tourists.
