Welcome to the Backpacker & Youth Industry Conference 2010

Tuesday 20 April

Backpacker & Youth Industry Conference

The Australian Tourism Export Council and the Backpacker Tourism Advisory Panel are proud to hold the annual ATEC Backpacker & Youth Industry Conference in the beautiful and historic Tasmanian capital - Hobart.
As with Symposium, the conference is all about looking to tourism’s future – putting the past twelve months behind us and planning how to prosper as the global economy recovers. Industry representatives from all over Australia will gather to hear about topics including business diversification, global youth and backpacker insights and social media.  You will also have the opportunity to participate in interactive break-out sessions where we will discuss sector-specific issues, challenges and solutions that will help shape a sustainable future for our industry.
