Economic Development Australia invites you to join this discussion on reigniting regional tourism.  The webinar will be 90 minutes, with time for Q&A.

With the arrival of COVID-19 and the abrupt termination of international visitors, tourism regions in Australia & New Zealand – as in Iceland – have suffered dramatic hits. This webinar shares experiences in rebuilding regional tourism, and in diversifying revenues beyond international visitor spending.

The webinar will feature Iceland’s Tourism Cluster, with contributions from Australia (Cairns & Barossa) and New Zealand (Queenstown & Nelson).  A leading economist, Shamubeel Eaqub, will provide an overview.

Contributors will briefly review the scale of COVID-19’s impact on their region, and then focus on their region’s immediate and longer-term responses to the crisis.

Registration is free of charge.
