World Tourism Day

From Deck Chairs to Diplomacy, It’s World Tourism Day

The season is shifting, and things are getting warmer. World Tourism Day on September 27th is your heads-up: there’s a new wave of wanderers bound for our sun-soaked shores. It’s time to prepare for the influx, so dust off the cheeseboard, crank up the hospitality, and roll out the welcome mat.

This year’s theme? Tourism and Peace. Sounds lofty, but when you break it down – the core of tourism is all about meeting new people, swapping stories over a cold drink, and realising we’re all not so different.

Tourism and peace

When people travel, they don’t just explore new foods, cultures and customs – they connect with the hearts and minds of others. Through tourism, we see the world from different perspectives and realise we’re all in this not-so-big world together. The truth is – countries that embrace tourism tend to be more peaceful because every journey builds bridges, not walls.

The stats

Domestic visitor spending surged past pre-COVID levels by an impressive $5.7 billion, a 29% increase over pre-pandemic figures. The overseas crowd is also making a strong comeback, with 686,000 international visitors recorded in the June quarter of 2022 and plenty more on the way. Momentum is building, with tourism well and truly back on the agenda.

Get prepared

For accommodation and resort businesses, it’s time to clean the windows, fluff the pillows, and refresh the menu. The tourists are coming, and they want the real Aussie experience. Put your best foot forward because comfort and positive experiences lead to good reviews and more business. Make your guests feel part of something bigger – introduce them to some vernacular, local events and maybe a list of must-sees in your area.

Make memories

Now that your place is the destination – get busy creating memorable experiences. World-class outdoor seating is a great way to help visitors enjoy their stay. For big or small spaces, easy-to-clean, modern designs in aluminium, timber and timber-like furniture provide the perfect setting for cocktail hour or a long lunch. Transform outdoor areas into vibrant, inviting spots where guests can enjoy a meal, drink, or each other’s company.

Take a seat

The Peak A-Frame Picnic Table seats up to eight and is crafted from 100% recycled plastic and timber composite. Sustainable and purpose-built for our harsh climate, the natural wood-like finish creates a relaxed, organic feel that blends into nature. If your space needs more shelter, the Eco-Trend Sheltered Park Setting is an all-in-one table and seating setup with a sleek slanted roof and powder-coated frames for maximum weather protection and style.

Final thoughts

Roll out the red carpet – the world is on its way. There’s no shortage of sights to see and experiences to share, so let’s collaborate and celebrate World Tourism Day as a bridge to a more peaceful and connected world. Here’s to the travellers, wanderers, and adventurers – the world needs you now more than ever.
