Accommodation & Tourism Investment

Sustainable investment and innovation in accommodation and tourism product is crucial to the current performance and future growth of the Australian tourism industry.  With almost eight million international visitors forecast to travel to Australia in 2018, it is essential that the industry invests in tourism development to attract and accommodate visitors.

Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) develops and advocates policy on taxation, regulation, planning, infrastructure, economic development, land and environment management and labour and skills.  TTF works to ensure that the accommodation industry can operate effectively and efficiently, and that potential roadblocks to appropriate development are removed. We represent the major investors and operators of tourism attractions, hotels, apartments, resorts, venues, casinos, hostels and camping groups on the issues that matter, in the forums that matter.
