Why are we supporting the regions?
Our regions have been hard hit over the years, not only subjected to harsh conditions but also a sharp decline in tourism from COVID-19 lockdowns
Regional tourism has been vital to Australia’s economy. According to Australian Regional Tourism (ART), prior to COVID-19, nearly half of Australia’s tourism expenditure occurred in regional Australia, attracting more than $1 billion in spending and one million international visitors each year.
What is the Regions Rising National Summit and why does it matter?
The Regional Australia Institute (RAI) is the nation’s first and only independent regional economic think tank and specialises in developing and communicating the knowledge, policy and practical solutions or Australia's regional communities.
The Regions Rising National Summit brings together all levels of government, business and the community sector with the aim of uplifting, supporting and future proofing the well being of our nations regions.
Much has been accomplished, but there’s still more work to be done. As it has advocated for regional motorists for the last century, the NRMA will continue to give them a louder voice for all things motoring long into the future.
