TDP Experience Perth - Tourism Western Australia

Strengths and Unique Selling Points:
The Perth region is the gateway for visitors to Western Australia and the focus of
much of the state’s tourism industry. Over one quarter of nights spent by holiday
and leisure visitors in Western Australia are spent in this region.
One of the key attractions in the region is Kings Park; a 400 hectare park located
within walking distance of the Perth central business district (CBD). The park
is home to a range of flora, fauna and recreational opportunities and provides
visitors with a spectacular view over the city and Swan River.
The metropolitan area is also home to a range of cultural assets including the
Western Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the Perth Mint
and Swan Bell Tower, which provide visitors with a taste of Western Australian
history and local culture.
The Perth region contains many entertainment options - a range of cafes,
restaurants, theatres, retail outlets and an increasing number of small bars and
nightlife options. Northbridge is the main entertainment precinct in the region,
however East and West Perth, Subiaco, Leederville, South Perth, Mt Lawley and the
King Street precinct have become entertainment hubs in their own right.
Overall, the pristine and unspoilt environment of the region, coupled with a
relaxed cosmopolitan lifestyle are often cited by visitors as key strengths of the
region.

“The Swan River, the art galleries and the city’s symphony
orchestra – there is a good cultural base which is significant
for a city of this size and it has a little bit of everything rather
than one element.” (Destination stakeholder)
“It’s a very beautiful city. We love the river it’s so very clean.”
