CHANGES TO TOURISM REGIONS
Tourism Regions (TR) are provided by Tourism Research Australia (TRA) which are part of the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade).
The TRs are updated annually by TRA in consultation with State and Territory (S/T) tourism organisations. The number of TRs, their names and their boundaries vary over time. The TRs are constructed from allocations of whole Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s).
This document contains the details of all the changes to Tourism Regions in 2012–2015.
Further information about TRs can be found in the 2015 publication of the Non-ABS Structures:
