Tourism Development Programs

In reply to the Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (24 October 2018).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment): I have been advised:

The decrease of $5.6 million in tourism development programs is predominantly due to a decrease in one-off expenditure which occurred in 2017-18, associated with hosting the Australian Tourism Exchange in April 2018 and contractual arrangements with providers of transport access to South Australia.
