Expression of Interest are sought for a competitive scholarship to
undertake a full time PhD research at Monash University as part of Graduate
Research Interdisciplinary Program (GRIP) commencing on 18 May 2016 (or

*PhD Research Topic*
The project investigates *Tourism and Public Transport*. Tourism provides a
large net gain to the Victorian economy and the Tourism industry is seeking
ways to improve access to the many tourism venues in Melbourne and
regionally. Tourists (and other visitors) have special needs when it comes
to being able to conveniently use public transport. These needs are often
different from commuters. This project seeks to improve how Victoria’s
public transport system caters for both domestic and international visitors.
· What are the special needs of Domestic and International visitors to
Victoria?
· How well is Victoria’s public transport system catering for those needs?
· What are the benefits to Victoria if the public transport offering to
tourists can be improved
· Where are the major opportunities for Victoria’s public transport system
in supporting tourism?
