Through the limited secondary data, and qualitative analysis we are trying to find out the prospect of it in Bangladesh. Tourism is a leisure activity which involves a discretional use of time and money and recreation is often the main purpose for participation in tourism (Ghosh, 2001).

In short, tourism means the business of providing information, transportation, accommodation and other services to travelers (Ghosh, 2001). Tourism may be broadly divided into domestic tourism and international tourism. In domestic tourism, people move within their own country whereas in international tourism, the barriers exist in travelling destinations beyond national boundaries ((Zulfikar, 1998).

The foremost aim of this marketing campaign is to create greater international awareness of the Macedon Ranges to the desired customers.

...definition regarding tourist product since the early 1970s. One of those definitions that became most influential was proposed by Middleton and Victor (1988), in which a basic distinction was made before defining tourist products. The total tourist product can be defined as the combination of all the elements consumed by a tourist during his or her trip. The specific tourist products are regarded as the components of the total tourist product which can be individually offered to tourists, such as accommodation, transport, attractions as well as other offerings for tourists. In this report, tourist product refers only to the tourist attractions and travel agencies, which are the components of the total tourist product. 7 interviews concerning the recent purchase of a tourist product were conducted. The interviewees were carefully selected by a diversity of age, income and occupation. Analysis on these interviews is presented with specific emphasis on how purchases were influenced by the interaction with family, friends, co-workers, sales people, and spokespeople. 2 The Purchase Process In terms of the purchaser of tourist products interviewed, most of the purchaser followed procedures similar to the traditional models of purchase process.
