Tourism 2020: We want your views.Tourism 2020 - A Chance to Have Your Say

In the past 20 years the Western Australian tourism industry has grown substantially.  Now we are planning for the year 2020 and beyond, and we want to know what you think. Vist the Tourism 2020 section for a chance to have your say.

Tourism enriches our economy and our community by:

  • directly employing about 43,000 Western Australians, plus another 20,000 indirectly.
  • contributing nearly $6 billion to our economy.
  • touching all of us in some way – whether through our work, holidays, or social amenities.
  • providing improved infrastructure and economic stability.
  • providing a focus for the protection and sustainable management of the natural environment.

Focus for the future.

Our focus is about future-proofing the tourism industry in WA, starting now.  So that we can discuss and debate the primary components of the future of tourism we have prepared the discussion document, Tourism 2020: A Chance To Have Your Say.

Get involved now and have your say.
