TOURISM COMMISSION

316 The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (27 July 2011) (First Session). Can the Minister for Tourism give details on the $0.5 million extra revenue that the Tasting Australia event will produce in 2012?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women): I am advised:

The $0.5million referred to the 2011-12 Agency Statements Budget Paper 4 Volume 4, page 18, primarily relates to Tasting Australia, and is due to increases in revenue directly relating to the event such as primarily sponsorship and exhibitor fees associated with the Tasting Australia event.
