About ARTThe Australian Regional Tourism (ART) is the national body representing regional tourism at the national level, to the Federal Government. ART is a conduit for knowledge transfer, networking of regional practitioners and solution generation. The ART, on behalf of its members, advocates for the recognition of good practice regional tourism development.

About Convention The Convention is the most significant annual event for industry, practitioners and government agencies engaged in regional tourism throughout Australia. The Convention provides a forum to discuss, debate and investigate solutions to issues, challenges and opportunities facing regional tourism. The Convention is for all sectors of the tourism industry to exchange ideas about ways to grow a sustainable regional destination and to showcase best practice success.

The inaugural Convention was held in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, in September 2001. Subsequent events have been held in Longreach, Hobart, Lorne, Busselton, Norfolk Island, Canberra, the Barossa Valley, Alice Springs, the Yarra Valley & Dandenong, Townsville, Launceston, Margaret River, Port Stephens, Victor Harbor, Roma and Canberra (2017).

Our host destination for 2018 is The Tweed, New South Wales.

Target Audience ART members are practitioners, organisations and operators who are intrinsically connected to the visitor economy in regional Australia. Those who attend, both members and non-members, attend because the Convention provides opportunities to be part of the solution and to network and gain firsthand knowledge from those who are at the grass roots of tourism experience delivery in regional Australia. The 2017 Convention saw representation from every State and Territory, with nearly half of the delegates being from NSW (43.59%) followed by QLD, SA and ACT.
