The Australian Regional Tourism Convention

The ARTN is proud to manage Australia’s largest regional tourism convention. The Australian Regional Tourism Convention allows delegates from regional, local government and State tourism organisations and regional tourism enterprises to exchange ideas about promoting regional tourism success.

ARTN subscribers will have the opportunity to influence the agenda and the issues discussed at the Convention. Unlike a conference, the Convention is designed to maximise delegate participation, and to promote successful regions and enterprises as models for other sectors. It provides a forum for exchanging ideas and information, and showcasing best practice. This concept has been a resounding success.

ARTN subscribers have access to case studies emanating from annual Conventions. These case studies identify best practice in tourism research, planning, marketing and promotion. Following are a few examples:

• Read about a media campaign that increased the value of regional coverage from $182,156 to $7,373,778 in five years  - Case study (pdf 84k)

• Read about a tourism plan that increased bookings by 25% in the low season - Case study (pdf 136k)
