“WA’s Indigenous tourism product and experiences are a unique selling point for us – it’s one of the elements which sets us apart from the other States,” Ms Lamont said.
The chairman also explained that the new agreement comes just a few months after WA’s restructure designed to encourage tourism growth across the state.
WAITOC represents over 50 Aboriginal tourism operators and is aiming to raise the profile of Indigenous tourism within Australia and worldwide.
