To help, we have developed a series of facts sheets so you can better understand tourism and the various distribution channels, pricing strategies and market segments.
For more detailed information, contact the Australia Tourism Export Council (ATEC) WA or Tourism Council WA (TCWA), which have developed excellent resources.

This program will provide support and financial assistance to operators over a three-year trade engagement program.
