At a regional level, we work closely with the five Regional Tourism Organisations, who play a key role in marketing their particular regions. Other bodies include the nine Regional Development Commissions.
Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs)
Tourism regions
WA is divided into five tourism regions, each with its own RTO, which is the peak marketing and management body for that particular region. We provide funding to the RTOs so they can deliver region-focused intrastate campaigns and support our interstate and international marketing. The RTOs are our eyes and ears on the ground and an important link between us and the local industry. They build strong relationships with local tourism organisations and local governments to achieve better tourism outcomes and make the most of marketing activities. In most cases, the RTOs take the lead in marketing activities with the support of these organisations.
