Improvement to the tourism business environment.

Alignment with the National Tourism 2020 Strategy.

In the June quarter 2014 SATIC Tourism Barometer the business activity index fell by 9% from 129 to 118 points while the short term business outlook index fell by 17%.
It was felt that consumer sentiment had been impacted by the budget austerity measures and other negatives for the economy such as the pending closure of GM Holden.
The international market has been a bright spot supported by increases in the supply of seats through Adelaide following the commencement of Air Asia X and Jetstar’s international services.
