Investing in Tourism
South Australia has the raw ingredients for world-class tourism development – amazing fresh food, stunning coastlines and natural landscapes which provide an enviable lifestyle.
Our nature experiences in some of the country’s most rugged landscape feature walking and bike trails, salt lakes, rock formations, waterholes and rare wildlife and plants.
Adventure tourism happens in one of the most pristine wilderness destinations anywhere in the world. We’re the only place in Australia where you can cage dive with Great White Sharks and feel the rush of the Southern Bluefin Tuna as they swim past.
Investment advantages
South Australia has it all, world-class food and wine experiences, stunning coastlines, natural flora and fauna, all within less than an hour’s drive of our international airport.
Our city’s revitalisation has us hosting some of the biggest events in the world and has earned us the name of the Festival State, drawing guests from around the world to experience our arts and culture.
Our outstanding attractions are unlike anywhere else in the world and our uniqueness means that rather than a city of competition, we’re a city of collaboration and partnerships.
Connected ecosystem
Tourism investment in our state is all about new and refreshed tourism infrastructure and experiences.
Medical tourism in South Australia provides opportunities for international healthcare options and showcases the state’s world-class capabilities within the health and medical industries sector.
The South Australian Tourism Commission is committed to growing the state’s visitor economy to $12.8 billion by 2030 – up from $7.2 billion currently – with 16,000 new tourism jobs to be created by 2030.
