Get your facts straight for tourism in your region

Tourism is one of the growth industries for regions across Australia. New businesses are looking to set up tourism ventures in regional destinations and at the same time Local Governments are being asked to supply information on tourism potential, licensing and regulations, visitor numbers and much more.

Decipher is the leading resource for tourism data and business information. Decipher accesses and catalogues more than 2,500 information packets from over 200 suppliers. Information packets are tables, graphs, maps, publications, web links, web pages, or multimedia files.

Information is supplied by professional tourism industry data suppliers, for example the Tourism Research Australia (formerly Bureau of Tourism Research), State tourism organisations, Australian Bureau of Statistics, AAA Tourism, Sensis and Sustainable Tourism CRC among many others.

Decipher is accessed at www.Decipher.biz. It allows users to build reports which include information from diverse sources. Decipher substantially reduces the cost of searching and accessing tourism business information.

If you would like to trial Decipher’s Local Government Tourism Resource Kit, email Brad Cox at brad.cox@decipher.biz for a complimentary starter pack.
