Tourists (below), sit outside on a ferry during a crossing of Sydney Harbour, 10 April 2005. Australias tourism industry is less than half as large as claimed by the government, according to a report issued 08 April by the official Productivity Commission. The government estimates that tourism accounts for 4.0 percent of the nations gross domestic product, but the Productivity Commission said its review of the industry found the figure was actually 1.6 percent.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Australia's tourism industry, as tourists eagerly sit outside on a ferry during a scenic crossing of Sydney Harbour. The date is April 10,2005, and these visitors are basking in the beauty that this iconic destination has to offer. However, behind this picturesque scene lies an intriguing revelation. According to a report issued by the official Productivity Commission on April 8th, Australia's tourism industry may not be as substantial as previously claimed by the government. While officials estimated that tourism accounted for 4.0 percent of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP), this comprehensive review suggests otherwise. In reality, it found that the figure was actually only 1.6 percent. The discrepancy between these numbers raises questions about how accurately we understand and measure economic sectors like tourism. Nevertheless, one thing remains undeniable – Australia continues to captivate travelers from around the world with its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture. In this photograph captured by Greg Wood for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness firsthand why tourists flock to Sydney Harbour – its stunning views and unique experiences make it an irresistible destination for adventurers seeking unforgettable memories Down Under.
