We believe that our deep industry expertise and strong delivery capability will help us spearhead our expansion even further into this geography.”

According to Business Monitor International, the Australian travel and tourism market is forecasted to increase to USD $36.40 Billion in 2012 and USD $45.64 Billion by 2015.
