Rise of Australia

Chapter 326 The Rise of the Tourism Industry

Although more than a month has passed since the end of the Olympic Games, Australasian officials were surprised to find that the number of foreign tourists traveling to and from all parts of Australasia has not decreased, and the number has even increased over time. Increase.

From the end of July when the Olympic Games ended to the end of August now, in just over a month, Australasian customs registered more than [-] European tourists.

This also means that there are already hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists stranded in Australasia.

Even if there is a recent contribution from the publicity department, the growing number of tourists has to be taken seriously by the Australasian government.

You know, the current intercontinental voyage is still a very luxurious trip for most civilians.

On ships traveling between the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the price of the most luxurious suite can even be as high as hundreds of pounds during the peak tourist season.

And the price of the most common single room on a cruise ship during the peak tourist season is as high as [-] pounds or more, which is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It is precisely because of such extremely expensive travel expenses that there are not so many tourists in this era.

Apart from some middle class people in Europe, the only ones who could afford expensive boat tickets and travel around the world seemed to be the dignitaries and capitalists.

Of course, in addition to ships, there is a new way of travel, that is, by airship.

But airships remain an elusive mode of transportation for Europe's middle class.

At present, the ticket price of the airship remains at more than [-] pounds, which is more than [-] times the per capita income of the United Kingdom. It is an expensive price that the majority of European civilians and middle classes can't imagine.

According to the current per capita income of major countries in Europe and the United States, the per capita income of the United States is 346 US dollars (about 69.2 pounds, 138.4 Australian dollars), while the British per capita income is only 244 US dollars (about 48.8 pounds, 97.6 Australian dollars), Germany is 184 US dollars (about £36.8, AU$73.6), the French ones are $153 (£30.6, AU$61.2), and the Italian ones are $108 (about £21.6, AU$43.2).

Compared with these European countries, Australasia's per capita income has surpassed that of Italy, but there is still a big gap compared with the old European powers and the United States.

As of now, the per capita income in Australasia is about 49.7 Australian dollars, which is about 24.85 pounds, 124.25 US dollars.

In terms of comprehensive strength, Australasia should be the last power after Britain, Germany, the United States, France, Russia, and Austria, and it is about the same strength as Italy and the island countries.

Of course, the more mainstream view in Europe now is to regard Australasia as the eighth power.

The island country that lost the support of the United Kingdom is recognized as a country with relatively strong military strength after the eight major powers.

In fact, this is also the cause of racism in Europe.Theoretically speaking, the comprehensive strength displayed by Australasia may not be comparable to that of the island countries.

But after all, Australasia is a true Western country with a completely white population. The major European media and countries don’t mind selling face, and they directly skip the island country and recognize Australasia as the eighth power.

Anyway, the island country is thousands of miles away from Europe, no matter how unhappy the island country is, Europeans don't have to care about the mood of the island country at all.

It is precisely because Australasia's status as a great power has gradually been recognized by European countries and the media, coupled with the promotion of Australasia during the Olympic Games and the popularity of global voyages around the world, Australasia has been in the near future. Over time, it has become an immigration choice and a tourist attraction comparable to the United States.

Coupled with the gradual broadcast of Australasian movies in Europe recently, European people have also realized the various beautiful scenery of Australasia.

Among them is the Gold Coast of Australia, a tourist attraction that should have been gradually known and visited by people more than ten years later.

Of course, the coast now has a brand new name, the Australasian Gold Coast.

Australasia's Gold Coast (Gold Coast, Australasia) is located on the eastern coast of Australasia. It is a resort that stretches for 42 kilometers and consists of dozens of beautiful beaches.

The reason why this beach is famous is that Arthur took Queen Mary and William and Anna in the summer of Australasia, that is, in December. reported by major newspapers.

People come here especially to experience the place where the king's family once stayed, and this beach has gradually become a very popular tourist attraction.

The Royal Film Studio took advantage of this name to shoot a tourism film to promote Australasia and named it the Gold Coast, which made this beach popular in Europe tens of thousands of kilometers away, attracting Many European tourists.

It is a pity that there are still three months before the winter in Australasia.

During this period of time, tourists who came to Australasia because of the Olympic Games are destined not to see the beauty of the beautiful Gold Coast.

The territory of Australasia covers almost most of Oceania, so Oceania is also called Australia by many Europeans and Australasians.

In order to claim Australasia's dominance over Oceania, Arthur naturally would not deny this trend. Even some newspapers in Australasia often rewrite Oceania Oceania as Australasia when printing Oceania news, that is, Australia. Grand Lasia.

This has to mention Australasia, the claimed scope of Australasia.

When the French scholar Brosse first proposed this concept, the literal translation of Australasia was South of Asia.

This actually means that all the land in the south of Asia can be collectively referred to as Australasia.

Regardless of geographical division or political division, Australasia almost perfectly includes most of Oceania, except for some islands occupied by great powers.

As the only independent country in Oceania, Australasia is naturally subtly believed by people to think that Australasia is almost equivalent to Oceania.

The United Kingdom, Germany, and France, which have colonies in Oceania, did not respond to the claim of Australasia. This also made the incident of Australia gradually replacing Oceania occur in European news newspapers many times, and it was gradually accepted by the European people.

Because the per capita income of Australasia is gradually increasing, and it is not weaker than most European countries.

This has also led to Australasia becoming a good place after the United States in the eyes of many European people.

More importantly, Australasia is a completely white country, and its political system is more easily accepted by immigrants from European monarchy countries.

In addition, Australasia is also far away from Europe, so there is no need to worry about possible future wars in Europe, which also makes Australasia the second choice for immigrants after the United States.

A large number of immigrants and a large number of foreign tourists have made Sydney, a city with a population of more than one million, more crowded.

Under the decoration of many tourists, Sydney seems to have become a prosperous city no less than that of Europe. Coupled with Sydney's busy roads and a large number of shops, the city looks modern enough.

It has to be admitted that the changes that industry and technology have brought to mankind are enormous.Western countries, by virtue of their colonial exploitation of the world, have completely taken the lead in the world in terms of industry and technology.

Arthur would look at the streets of Sydney in a daze from time to time, because the current state of Sydney can only be possessed by the East after nearly a hundred years.

Including Coke, cars, bicycles, traffic lights, etc., which seem to reveal modern products, in fact, they were everywhere in Europe before World War I.

Taxi companies and profitable parking lots have even been born in Sydney to solve people's car needs and parking needs.

Since the development of the Benz Automobile Factory, the scale has been extremely large.Even the Benz Automobile Factory in Australasia has more than 1 workers and an annual output of more than [-] cars.

More than nine years have passed since the launch of Benz cars. According to the sales results collected by several major Benz car factories, it is expected that the total sales volume will officially exceed 1914 million before 400.

Even as of the end of August 1912, Benz Motors has sold a total of more than 316 million vehicles during the nine-plus years of sales, accounting for more than 9% of the world's total automobile market.

At present, the price of Benz cars has been reduced to 120 pounds, but the profit of a car is still as high as more than 50 pounds.

Counting the sales at the high price of the car before, the gross profit of these more than 300 million Benz cars is nearly [-] million pounds.

Of course, after deducting the share of the British and German branches, as well as taxes and other expenses in major countries, the final total income of the royal consortium is only 1.07 million pounds.

The average annual income is only more than 1000 million pounds, but this income is very stable, at least within ten years, the downward trend will not be too great.

You know, the Model T car in history set a sales record of 1500 million.

Although the Benz car was launched five years earlier than the Model T, the price of the car was low to begin with and improvements were made all the time.

Arthur is confident that Benz One will surpass the achievements of Model T cars in history and create a new car sales record in Australasia.

More importantly, it is currently in the development stage of the automobile market. Whoever can occupy more shares in the automobile market will be able to occupy more advantages in future automobile upgrades.

At this time, Benz Automobile Factory is sitting on nearly [-]% of the world's automobile market, and it is undoubtedly a well-deserved world automobile giant.

As long as this advantage can be maintained, the huge automobile market is enough to bring a lot of inexhaustible wealth to the Benz Automobile Factory and the royal consortium.

And Arthur can even occupy the seat of the world's richest king with the Benz Automobile Factory alone.

If the royal consortium is included, the wealth can only be described as immeasurable.
