WxNW Regional Tourism Forum & Cocktail Party 2026

Our annual Regional Tourism Forum is a chance to come together, gain insights, explore industry trends, and discuss key developments - all under this year’s theme of opportunity. It will unpack where the Visitor Economy is heading and what that means for your business. From demand trends and agritourism to AI, events and new access opportunities, you’ll leave with sharper insight, practical ideas, and the confidence to act on the opportunities in front of you.

We will hear from Tourism Tasmania, Tourism Industry Council Tasmania, Spirit of Tasmania and more, highlighting the latest developments and news within the region. It promises to be a lineup that will inform, and inspire but also provide actionable insights for you and your business.
