Cross-cultural Analysis of Tourism Australia’s Marketing Campaigns

Overview

This case study presents a Cross-cultural Analysis of Tourism Australia’s Marketing Campaigns in China and the United Kingdom. Written by Janis, it is an assessment of the University of Melbourne’s Marketing and Media in a Global Context (MECM90034).

As a destination management organisation (DMO), Tourism Australia is responsible for attracting international visitors and developing long-term tourism contributing to economies (Tourism Australia, 2021; Volo, 2008). Since the cultural orientations of the host country and the target audience are often two contrasting foci, it is vital for Tourism Australia’s marketers to acknowledge and respond to cross-cultural differences with tailored strategies.

By applying Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, this case study analyses Tourism Australia’s cross-cultural marketing communications strategies implemented in China and the United Kingdom (UK) and provides recommendations accordingly.
