Tourism WA: Two-Year Action Plan
Tourism WA has launched a plan to grow the number of visitors to the State over the next two years.
Its overall aim is to make Western Australia the most desirable leisure and business events destination in Australia.
The plan focuses on four key areas that will help drive visitation:
- Positioning the State as Australia's western gateway
- Promoting Perth as an affordable, vibrant destination close to nature
- Attracting more people to regional WA
- Intensifying promotional activity in target markets to encourage travel
Stakeholder consultation played an important part in developing the plan, which takes into account changing market conditions, the remarkable transformation of Perth; and the State Government's commitment to provide $425 million to Tourism WA over the next five years, for destination marketing and events.
Highlights of the plan include:
- Maximising leisure visitation from AFL games at Optus Stadium with a target of 18,000 additional visitors a year
- Working with Qantas to maximise the London-Perth route to encourage stopovers and regional dispersal
- Securing and hosting major travel trade events
- Attracting more overseas direct flights to Perth
- Launching a new home-grown Perth event in 2019
