(1) Tourism Western Australia's role is to brand and promote Western Australia as a desirable holiday destination. Marketing opportunities for tourism operators with commercial product are provided by Tourism Western Australia, the Western Australian Indigenous Tourism Operators Committee (WAITOC) and Regional Tourism Organisations. These opportunities are promoted via regional online communications. The Patjarr Community is in the jurisdiction of the Australia's Golden Outback Regional Tourism Organisation (AGO RTO). Both WAITOC and the AGO RTO implement a number of marketing activities, collateral and on-line programs that tourism operators and communities can participate in.
(2) Tourism Western Australia does not offer funding programs for training and employment in the tourism industry.
