The McGowan Government has announced an AU$12 million marketing campaign, "Wander Out Yonder", to persuade tourists to visit Western Australia. As the State seeks to aid local tourism entities and lure tourists, advertisements will include unique scenes from across WA.
The marketing campaign is sponsored by the WA Government's AU$185 million Reconnect WA package declared last December.
However, the announcement comes a day after the State declared an AU$4.32 million collaboration commitment with the Western Australian Tourism Operators Council (WAITOC) to promote WA as the preeminent destination for Aboriginal cultural experiences.
