Three powerful trends are reshaping how visitors connect with destinations around the world—and how communities experience tourism: accessible and inclusive travel, agritourism, and cycle tourism.

Join TTRA for an engaging, insight-rich webinar featuring Garrett Tyler-Parker, Director of Analysis and Insights at Tourism Research Australia (TRA), the Australian Government’s agency for tourism intelligence.

What you’ll learn

Drawing from TRA’s latest national research, Garrett will share:

  • Why accessibility, agritourism, and active travel are accelerating globally—and what destinations should do now
  • Actionable insights that DMOs, researchers, and industry partners can apply beyond Australia
  • A deep dive into LIVE (Longitudinal Indicators for the Visitor Economy), TRA’s innovative, publicly available insights platform
  • How visitor-to-resident density, a new mobility-based metric, is helping communities balance tourism growth and quality of life through a triple-bottom-line approach

Expect a data-driven look at Australia’s tourism strategy, practical takeaways you can apply locally, and fresh thinking on how research can support more inclusive, sustainable, and community-aligned tourism.
