Especially challenged are sports that are non‐traditional for women, typified by ‘masculine’ characteristics of physical power and body contact, such as rugby. The purpose of this paper is to seek an explanation for why some women do decide to participate in such non‐traditional

First, are there specific performance measures that are significant contributors to the key measures? Second, and as a corollary of the first, is it possible to reduce the number of performance measures and minimize the potential for organizations becoming overwhelmed by data of limited cost-effectiveness? With these issues in mind, this paper examines a number of performance measures currently used widely in Australian public aquatic centres. Employing hierarchical multiple regression analysis, results indicate that a small number of measures appear to be closely related to two key performance measures for visitation and financial success.

Australia is no exception to this trend, with the realisation that there is great potential for promoting the destination around the medical and wellness tourist experience or as a supplement to the traditional attractions of the Outback, the Reef and food and wine. However, the paucity of research that currently exists in relation to this industry needs to be addressed, if full advantage is to be taken of this worldwide growth. To this end, a scoping study of Australian medical and wellness tourism was commissioned by the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre, to analyse the current state of play and identify future research needs requirin...
