5th International Tourism Studies Association Conference 2

Welcome MessageThe International Tourism Studies Association is a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to bridge the gaps in tourism studies and research, education, and training between developed and developing countries, particularly between China and the rest of the world.

China is Australia’s top trading partner and most valuable inbound tourism market. In 2010, Chinese tourism contributed $3.26 billion to the Australian economy, and is estimated to potentially contribute $7 to $9 billion annually by 2020. In recent years, Australia has experienced faster arrivals growth from China than any other market. While these strong numbers presents a great opportunity for the country, Western Australia faces fierce competition in both domestic and international markets.

The 5th Biennial ITSA conference aims to:

1. Educate and inform its audience about the burgeoning China outbound tourism market;

2. Encourage discussion about Australia’s and WA’s nature based tourism and its synergies with China’s tourism market, academia, and government; and

3. Encapsulate the quintessential qualities for a city to become globally recognised as a “World Tourism City”.

Why Perth and Western Australia?Western Australia is located in the same time zone as China, and Perth is of closest proximity to China than any other Australian capital city. In 2013, Perth was once again ranked by The Economist as one of the top 10 most liveable cities in the world. Yet WA only received 3.7 per cent of the total number of Chinese visitors to Australia in 2011.

The State has much to offer to the discerning Chinese traveller with its impressive natural wonders, pristine beaches, fresh seafood and premium wines, largest collection of wildflowers on the planet, and one of the few places in the world where one can swim with the ocean’s largest fish.

Aims of the ConferenceThis conference brings together China’s leading experts on the country’s outbound tourism market. In doing so, it facilitates discussions on how to raise the profile of Western Australia and to effectively position Perth in the China market.

It also provides a forum for international researchers to partner with Murdoch University, an outstanding research intensive university, to address environmental issues which both directly and indirectly impact tourism.

The conference covers a unique blend of topics which combine interests across government, academia, and the tourism industry.



Invitation to SponsorOn behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, you are cordially invited to sponsor the 5th International Tourism Studies Association (ITSA) Conference, to be held in Perth from Wednesday 26 November to Saturday 29 November 2014.

The Conference will provide a forum for key stakeholders from Asia and Australia to network, gain knowledge, and identify opportunities in the nature based tourism industry, and marketing special aspects of Perth as an international tourism city. This event brings together experts in various tourism disciplines including the China outbound tourism market, the nature based tourism industry in Western Australia, and city tourism in the Asian Century.

Conference participants will also have the unique opportunity to link in with representatives from China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americans.

Reasons for sponsorship consideration:

1. Your organisation will be prominently engaging in the future of the Asian-Australian tourism relationship.

2. Opportunities to network with local and key Chinese and other Asian delegates in the tourism and tourism related industry, to update their knowledge and raise their awareness of your organisation.

3. Ability to reach a wide network of stakeholders via a single forum.

The conference organisers will conduct extensive promotional campaigns including advertisements, social media, email broadcasts, and website profiling in the lead up to the Conference. With an early commitment of sponsorship, your organisation will be widely promoted as a key supporter of the Conference well in advance of the event date.
