	Strategic Plan 2002 - 2006 - Industry Leadership - Structures, Partnerships & Alliances (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Successive tourism strategic plans 1993-1996 and 1997-2001 prepared by Tourism Victoria in conjunction with the tourism industry, identified the fragmented structure of the industry in Victoria as a barrier to the development of a commercially sustainable industry.
		While the industry has become more united and cohesive in recent years, and the various industry and regional organisations better represent the needs of their respective memberships, all suffer from limited resources, competition for membership, potential duplication of services and in some cases, a lack of sustained professional leadership.
		During 2001, the industry recognised the need for the development of a peak organisation to represent Victoria's tourism industry, and to provide a united, and representative voice to government, the industry and the community that matched the strength and contribution of tourism.

	Space Future - Space Tourism: Exploring a New Industry
		The potential disadvantages of space tourism include the risk associated with space flight, the level of difficulty of preparation and, possibly, the physical discomfort of space motion sickness during the trip.
		Industry interest in commercial applications of space, which began in the 1960's with satellite telecommunications, now includes a variety of launch vehicles, geopositioning, medical and industrial applications of microgravity, and related services.
