(b) What specific campaigns, partnerships and investment priorities will Tourism Australia prioritise to drive visitation to Northern Australia, to support regional dispersal, to maximise the return on tourism investment, and to ensure that this important part of our nation remains competitive in attracting both domestic and international visitors?
