Future Tourism Crc

The Future Tourism CRC is a national consortium of universities and industry that are proposing the establishment of a national Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) to re-imagine a sustainable and resilient tourism, hospitality and events future for Australia. The CRC application process involves framing industry challenges and research programs over 7-10 years to address longer term multi-sectoral issues. With the opening up of our borders, it is timely to review the future of Australia’s tourism, hospitality and events sector. The CRC model allows for industry contributions to leverage university and commonwealth funding that is deployed directly on the research program and capability development for the sector. This includes the translation of research into policy and practice. The universities involved are the following: Curtin University, University of Canberra, James Cook University, the University of Newcastle, and Flinders University.
