The ART Convention is a must-attend event for local councils, regional tourism organisations, tourism professionals, business and government personnel who wish to contribute to the future of regional tourism in Australia. The 2022 ART Convention theme is Regional Australia – Paving the way for a stronger Visitor Economy.

ART and convention partner, City of Ballarat, are pleased to be holding the 2022 ART Convention in Ballarat, Victoria, from 10-12 October 2022.

The Convention provides a forum to discuss, debate and investigate solutions to issues, challenges and opportunities facing regional tourism.

In 2022, ART will also be hosting the Agritourism Conference, a one-off event bringing together the agricultural and tourism sectors to unearth authentic regional Australian stories, and to better understand the opportunities and barriers of agritourism and development. ART are excited to deliver this additional day on Thursday 13 October to unlock this emerging sector aiming to influence policy and drive regulatory change.
