Local and international experts on tourism will gather in this Oceania webinar, supported by TCI Network, Economic Development Australia (EDA) and Economic Development New Zealand. The discussion will focus on the scale of COVID-19’s impact on specific regions and the region’s immediate and longer-term responses to the crisis.

With the arrival of COVID-19 and the abrupt termination of international visitors, tourism regions in Australia & New Zealand – as in Iceland – have suffered dramatic hits. This webinar shares experiences in rebuilding regional tourism, and in diversifying revenues beyond international visitor spending.

The webinar will feature Iceland’s Tourism Cluster, with contributions from Australia (Cairns & Barossa) and New Zealand (Queenstown & Nelson).  A leading economist, Shamubeel Eaqub, will provide an overview.
