Tourism WA and Tourism Council WA have a new tourism trade recognition program – The Dream Collective Western Australia – to celebrate the state’s top tourism operators and experiences and support them through marketing and promotional activity.

The Dream Collective Western Australia will showcase operators with a special focus on sustainable and inclusive visitor experiences aligned with the state’s ‘Walking On A Dream’ destination brand.

For travel professionals and travellers, the distinction will highlight WA Tourism Award winners and those making strides in sustainable and inclusive tourism experiences to add to itineraries.

The Dream Collective operators will benefit from additional Tourism WA marketing, including social media and website placements, an official program logo for promotional use and a tailored report highlighting areas for improvement.

Tourism Council WA CEO Evan Hall said The Dream Collective prioritises the promotion of tourism businesses that have reached the highest standards in emissions reduction and accessibility.
