The National Tourism Incident Communication Plan THE NATIONAL TOURISM INCIDENT COMMUNICATION PLAN (Revised March 2013) 1 THE NATIONAL TOURISM INCIDENT COMMUNICATION PLAN Issued by ASCOT in March 2013 1 THE NATIONAL TOURISM INCIDENT COMMUNICATION PLAN Objective The objective of the National Tourism Incident Communication Plan (NTICP) is to apply the Council of Australian Government’s National Strategy for Disaster Resilience to the tourism industry by providing a risk management framework for addressing market shock. This framework is designed to: Communicate accurate and timely information to various groups including: o Australian, state and territory governments and tourism organisations; o the Australian and international tourism industry; and o the domestic and international travelling public. Coordinate and disseminate information relating to impacts of incidents on the tourism industry. Scope The scope of the NTICP at both a national and jurisdictional level is to respond to tourism market shock caused by incidents such as acts of terrorism or war, disease outbreaks, natural disasters and other events. The NTICP provides a framework for communication activities that can be applied to any incident that has the capacity to impact the tourism industry and that requires management at a national or jurisdictional level. Jurisdictional Functionality The aim of the NTICP at a jurisdictional level is to work with the effected State and Territory Tourism Organisation (STO) to enable a formalised approach for incident support at the Commonwealth level. The Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (RET) and Tourism Australia (TA) will liaise with the effected STO in collaboration and distribution of communications to industry, consumers and media (both national and international). Authority The NTICP is authorised by the Australian Standing Committee on Tourism (ASCOT) acting on behalf of Tourism Ministers. Maintenance The NTICP will be maintained by the Australian Government Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (RET). The NTICP Monitoring and Communicator’s Group (MACG) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the NTICP, including its enhancement and the development of scenario plans. A Central Incident Management Group (CIMG) will be convened by the RET Head of Tourism Division, Australian Government Minister for Tourism when the NTICP is activated at a medium risk level (AMBER) or a high risk level (RED). 2 Preparation The NTICP does not attempt to prescribe detailed actions by way of likely communication or policy responses as these will vary depending on the nature of the event. However, it does suggest that each jurisdiction prepare its own incident response plan, consistent with the NTICP. NTICP activation flow charts Flow charts are provided to map the order of communication actions to be undertaken in the event of an incident that may warrant NTICP activation at either a jurisdictional or national level. 3 Figure 1: National Activation Flow Chart ACTUAL OR EMERGING NATIONAL INCIDENT OR THREAT MACG to undertake ongoing activation NOTIFICATION level monitoring NTICP Member informs NTICP Secretariat of an incident via phone or email to [email protected] INFORMATION GATHERING NTICP Secretariat to coordinate and gather available information within 60 minutes post notification.* * Timing will depend on the nature of incident.

STOs are encouraged to update or develop their own incident response mechanisms to provide a seamless path for information flows to the tourism industry in times of crisis. The Tourism Industry Resilience Kit – DON’T RISK IT! is an additional tool available to assist STOs, Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs) and tourism businesses. The kit is designed to plan for, mitigate against, respond to and recover from a future risk or crisis. To access and download the kit visit www.ret.gov.au/tourism.

Industry members: the National Tourism Alliance; the Tourism and Transport Forum Australia; the Australian Tourism Export Council; the Australian Regional Tourism Network; and other bodies as appropriate to ensure information flows to tourism operators. Convening this group The establishment of the CIMG will enable coordination during an AMBER or RED activation (See Table 1 for Activation Levels). This group will be supported by the MACG. The Head of Tourism Division, RET will convene a meeting of the CIMG (or a quorum when the severity of a crisis demands an immediate decision) in times of AMBER or RED activation to consider whether to heighten the Activation Level. A quorum is the Chair of ASCOT (Secretary of RET), the Head of RET’s Tourism Division, the Managing Director of Tourism Australia, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Tourism Alliance and other members (where time and circumstances permit). Key outcomes The CIMG will provide leadership during an AMBER or RED level incident (See Table 1 for Activation Levels). The CIMG will play a key role in strategic decision making and providing advice to government by: making CEO-level decisions on actions to be taken in response to incidents and facilitating communication at a high level; developing a cohesive

  • Identifying Business Practices Promoting Sustainability in Aboriginal Tourism Enterprises in Remote Australia
    sustainability Article Identifying Business Practices Promoting Sustainability in Aboriginal Tourism Enterprises in Remote Australia Skye Akbar * and Rob Hallak School of Management, City West Campus, University of South Australia, Adelaide, SA 5000, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 18 August 2019; Published: 23 August 2019 Abstract: Aboriginal tourism entrepreneurs operating in remote regions of Australia draw on their 60,000 years of heritage to offer unique and distinct cultural experiences to domestic and international tourists. Living and operating in remote climates presents challenges to achieving successful and sustainable enterprises, including extreme weather, substandard infrastructure, distance from policy makers, distance from markets and the commercialisation of culture, which is customarily owned by and for use by traditional custodians, to produce and deliver a market-ready tourism product. However, many remote Aboriginal tourism entrepreneurs nevertheless achieve success and sustainability. This paper builds on the work of Foley to identify the characteristics of successful remote Aboriginal tourism enterprises and Aboriginal entrepreneurs in remote areas and the resourceful and creative business practices used by remote Aboriginal entrepreneurs to overcome barriers to success and finds that ongoing connections to community and culture are a key factor in that success. It also draws on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals to identify how the characteristics of remote tourism entrepreneurs and enterprises promote or inhibit the achievement of sustainability and suggests that they offer a framework for effective support of remote Aboriginal entrepreneurs. It concludes by noting that the industry would benefit from further investigation of the contributions made to sustainability by remote Aboriginal tourism enterprises and their stakeholders.

  • Intrastate and Interstate Tourism Demand in Australia: an Empirical Analysis
    Intrastate and interstate tourism demand in Australia: An empirical analysis ABSTRACT Few studies have investigated intrastate and interstate tourism demand in Australia despite these tourists have different travel characteristics. Using cointegration analysis and error-correction models, this study examines economic determinants of intrastate and interstate tourism, and assesses their relative importance for both types of tourism. Two main findings discovered from this research. First, most of the economic coefficients are not consistent with economic theory. Second, the coefficients for intrastate tourism demand are higher than the coefficients for interstate tourism demand in NSW and WA. This may be useful for developing separate policies and marketing strategies for intrastate and interstate tourism. Keywords : intrastate tourism demand; interstate tourism demand; Australia; cointegration analysis INTRODUCTION In Australia, domestic tourism can be segregated into two categories, namely intrastate and interstate tourism. Such segregation is important because, according to Tourism Research Australia (2007a), intrastate and interstate visitors have different travel characteristics. For instance, most of the interstate visitors travel by air whereas the majority of the intrastate visitors use private vehicles. Interstate visitors differ from intrastate visitors in terms of the length of trips and travel expenditure. For the year ended 31 March 2007, interstate travellers in Australia stayed longer and spent more (averages of 5.4 nights and AUD710, respectively) than intrastate visitors (3.2 nights and AUD342.32, respectively). Furthermore, expenditure by intrastate and interstate visitors are the main revenue source for tourism industry in Australia. Figure 1 shows that, in New South Wales and Western Australia, the expenditure by intrastate visitors exceeded the spending by international visitors.

ABSTRACT Tourism is an industry which is defined as travelling to places outside their usual environment for less than a year for any main purpose (leisure, business and other purposes) other than to be employed. Visitors to certain tourist destinations are of two types: international visitors-those who travel to a country other than in which they have residence and domestic visitors-those visitors who are residents of a particular country and who travel outside their usual environment. Given the fact that all these visitors spend certain amounts of money on accommodation, food, drinks and other, it is logical that tourism is important to every country because it contributes significantly to a country's economy.
