CURRENT CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES

CONSUMER CHALLENGES

FA S H I ONABI L I T Y

Limited knowledge of Australia’s offering outside of

iconic experiences leads to feeling we’ve seen and

heard it all before.

LOW U R GENCY

Australia is perceived as a once-in-a-lifetime destination

which can be put off for another day because of rational

factors such as time, distance and cost.

C O MP LE X I T Y

A cluttered marketing environment and low familiarity of

Australia’s geography and experience offering leads to

feeling overwhelmed. Travellers are visiting up to 20 sites before

booking.

WHILE AUSTRALIA HAS STRONG APPEAL WITH CONSUMERS THESE CHALLENGES PRESENT THE GREATEST BARRIERS TO VISITATION.

THE PROBLEM WE ARE TRYING TO SOLVE IN THE US…

PREFERENCE FOR AUSTRALIA

Consideration or intention to visit

Australia.

TRAVEL LONG HAUL Travels long haul (out

of region) on a regular basis.

KEY DRIVERS FOR DESTINATION CHOICE

Food and wine, aquatic and coastal, and nature and wildlife

experiences are key drivers when choosing a holiday destination.

REPRESENT HIGH VALUE

Above average trip expenditure. Higher

likelihood to stay longer. Higher likelihood to

disperse further.

OUR STRATEGY IS FIRMLY FOCUSED ON TARGETING

HIGH VALUE TRAVELLERS

OPPORTUNITY BEING DRIVEN OUT OF THE US, CHINA & INDIA

THE KEY IS HOW WE DIFFERENTIATE FROM OUR

COMPETITORS

IT’S ALSO ABOUT CUT-THROUGH…
