About the agenda
The National Tourism Research Agenda provides a framework for identifying and informing both current and future tourism research priorities.
These priorities are consistent with the policy objectives of the National Long-Term Tourism Strategy, and are structured around four main themes:
- current market dynamics
- emerging trends
- productive capacity
- dissemination.
The agenda seeks to engage the full spectrum of tourism-specific and industry-related research participants such as government, industry, and academic institutions, to address identified research gaps.
Coordination and development of tourism research and analysis activity under the agenda framework is a key priority for the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism.
Who is involved?

The advisory board is chaired by the Secretary of the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism and includes representatives from: Tourism Research Australia (TRA), Tourism Australia, state tourism organisations, industry, unions and the academia sector.
