Destination Australia 2026: Accelerating future growth, competitiveness, and sustainable tourism
Join us for Tourism Australia's annual Destination Australia conference, on Thursday, 19 March 2026 at CENTREPIECE in Melbourne as we collectively chart the course for a vibrant future.
The Australian tourism sector is at a pivotal moment. Under the central theme of "Accelerating future growth, competitiveness, and sustainable tourism", we will explore the strategies needed to drive both commercial success and enduring environmental and social responsibility.
At the event, gain insights and updates from industry leaders as we explore how we can continue to evolve the depth and breadth of Australia's tourism offerings, and we will look again to how we collaborate to ensure the competitive and sustainable growth of our sector. As always, a range of topics will be covered including aviation, marketing and distribution trends, market insights and much more.

We will continue to share the cultures, warmth, humour and generosity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. All of which are central to how the story of Australia is told.
