The Tourism eMarketplace (TeM) concept was developed as a 5 Year Plan to create an online market place for customers, industry and media.
It is designed to become a powerful store of information, products, services and resources for tourism in Western Australia and addresses the growing importance of the Internet as a vehicle for business.
The aim of the program is to consolidate WA tourism web presences and take a coordinated approach in marketing tourism for WA. It is endorsed and supported by Tourism WA and Office of eGovernment.
"Tourism eMarketplace is a one-stop shop for consumers, industry and media representatives. It is designed to enhance the Western Australian Tourism Commission's online presence and showcase the products, information, services and resources related to tourism in Western Australia."

Former WA Premier
