Abstract
The growth of tourism and scientific expeditions to Antarctica has created substantial competition for the economic benefits of supplying Antarctic visitation. This paper examines the development of Antarctic gateway functions in relation to the cities of Hobart, Australia and Christchurch, New Zealand. It is noted how government at all levels in both locations has embraced the development of Antarctic supply networks along with attempting to attract tourist interest in order to generate economic development. The paper concludes that the desire for gateway status has the potential to influence national Antarctic policies as well as influencing future tourism flows.
