Perth Airport Acting Chief Executive Officer Kate Holsgrove said that Perth Airport is committed to increasing visitation to Perth, particularly from international key markets.

“This partnership agreement is proof of our commitment to Perth and supports the important work of Destination Perth and Tourism WA in promoting Western Australia to the world as an incredible holiday and events destination.

“The value of tourism to Perth is significant for our economy with WA’s tourism industry supported nearly 30,000 tourism businesses, generating 100,900 jobs and contributing $11 billion in visitor spend.

Destination Perth Chief Executive Officer Sonja Mitchell said that the partnership with Perth Airport will promote our membership base of more than 500 tourism operators located across the region, including accommodation and entertainment venues, attractions, transport, tour and cruise operators and restaurants to international visitors.

“Part of the important work that our team does is attend international travel trade roadshows to promote destination awareness of Perth and drive visitors to our great capital city.

Over the next year, we will be prioritising our attendance for roadshows in key visitor markets such as India, China, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, UK/Europe and USA as well as interstate Australia.

“This complements the work of Perth Airport and the WA State Government to increase aviation access and deliver new air services to support the growth of visitor numbers.
