Ep 242: The Tourism Outlook Between Australia, South East Asia, China & India, with Garrett Tyler-Parker, Tourism Research Australia
“South East Asia is where the excitement is because it is a fast-growing inbound tourism region for Australia.” As we approach the 5th anniversary of the WHO declaring a pandemic on 11 March 2020, it’s a good time to discuss emerging developments in Australia’s visitor economy.
This week, Gary welcomes Garrett Tyler-Parker, Director of Analysis & Insights at Tourism Research Australia, part of the Australian Trade & Investment Commission (AusTrade). We discuss Australia’s Thrive 2030 strategy, which is transitioning from ‘recovery’ to ‘consolidation’ phase, and the variable rates of inbound recovery from key Asian markets.
