Building Dream Experiences

Western Australia’s vast and wondrous landscape offers a range of tourism experiences for visitors to our state. They can swim with the gentle whale sharks off the Ningaloo Coast, traverse through ancient gorges in the North West, relax in luxurious eco tents at Shark Bay, or taste their way through hundreds of cellar doors in our varied wine regions. 

With such a large range of product available, Tourism WA has created a series of specialised research reports examining the various sub sectors within our tourism industry. Each report highlights the demand for specific tourism offerings, what type of visitors operators should be targeting and the value of these new and emerging sub-sectors.
