(a) See tabled paper # for the “BDA Marketing Planning, People Prophets Tracker, Year Ending April 2018” research provided to Tourism WA. Note this research is from BDA Marketing Planning’s own survey. BDA Marketing Planning shared the results to only one question from its survey with Tourism WA.
(b) The release of information contained in BDA Marketing Planning’s “High Value Traveller Research, October 2018” report could undermine Tourism WA’s competitive advantage. Accordingly, I will notify the Auditor General’s office and both houses of Parliament that part (b) of this question will not be answered as per section 82 of the Financial Management Act 2006. However, Tourism WA has created summaries of the High Value Traveller target market that draw on the key learnings from the High Value Traveller research undertaken by BDA. See tabled paper #.
(c) The research was provided on 31 October 2018.
(d) $554,000 to market “Western Australia the Road Trip State” interstate.
(e) The funding can be broken down into $380,000 for media and production, and $174,000 for distribution partnerships. It is not possible to break the funding down by State and Territory as a large proportion of the campaign costs are Australia-wide, including national media partnerships.
