Global Demographics

What does the next decade hold for Tasmanian tourism?

At the Tasmanian Tourism Conference, Simon Kuestenmacher will unpack the demographic forces shaping the visitor economy: ageing consumers, shifting family structures, workforce shortages, migration, regional growth and the changing expectations of domestic and international travellers.

Tasmania has a powerful tourism story. The challenge now is to match that story with the workers, infrastructure and long-term strategy needed to keep the sector growing.

Don't miss this high-energy take on one of Tasmania's most strategically important industries.
