I.K. HUNTER (Member of the Executive Council, Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation): The Minister for Tourism has received this advice: 1.	The Adelaide Visitor Information Centre located in James Place just off Rundle Mall will offer local, interstate and international visitors information on Adelaide and South Australia. Research conducted in 2012 showed that 83 per cent of leisure travellers and 76 per cent of business travellers plan their travel online. As such, the South Australian Tourism Commission has focused on online material. Two public computers, regularly monitored by the Adelaide City Council's Information Technology staff, and free wi-fi, will be available for visitors to access tourism information. To assist visitors with drive information and directions, a large state wall map will be prominently displayed. This map will feature all the Visitor Information Centres, major towns, drive routes and tracks. All South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) regional guides will be displayed and made available together with major attraction information for each region. The Visitor Information Centre will be open seven days a week and staffed by a minimum of two Adelaide City Council volunteers. 2.	As an accredited Visitor Information Centre, it has in place a regular training program which is required under the criteria to be accredited. The focus of this is to broaden the knowledge of the South Australian product. SATC liaises with the Visitor Information Centre coordinator to have these training programs implemented using the resources of regional marketing managers and operators.
