The Armadale Visitor Centre Showcase

A number of local businesses attended the Business Armadale Showcase, held at the Armadale Visitor Centre, to promote their product to the industry.

Members of the Armadale Visitor Centre, Trish and Tim (pictured above) from Bella Hair and Day Spa, Matt and Johana from Araluen Golf Resort and Grant from Araluen Botanic Gardens presented a snapshot of their products and upcoming events to the Business Armadale Members.

The evening was fun and informative, and a great opportunity to network and make new connections.

It’s onwards and upwards for Business and Tourism in Armadale.

WA visitor expenditure reaches $9.3b

WA recorded a 10 per cent jump in overall visitor numbers, an eight per cent increase in visitor nights and a seven per cent rise in visitor spending in the year ending March 2016, helping to drive the value of tourism in the State to $9.3 billion, according to Tourism Research Australia (TRA).

The $9.3 billion visitor spend – almost half of which ($4.3 billion) was spent in regional WA – means the industry is on track to reach the State Government Tourism Strategy’s goal of $12 billion by 2020.
