It was erected in the early 1890&#8217;s during the late Victorian era period. This period is called the Victorian boom era and is marked with extravagant and big houses. The Mansions building is a superb example of free Classical terrace and deep arcaded verandas giving it an outstanding appearance. It originally consisted of six three-storied brick terrace houses to a design by architect G.H.M. Addison.It was intended as housing for the Queensland Premier and senior ministers. The first woman doctor in Queensland, Dr Lillian V. Cooper, lived here in 1892. Later it was converted to a school and boarding house. In 1954 it was acquired by the Queensland Government for public service use. This building now contains, a number of offices including the Board of Architects of Queensland, Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland, Energex Brisbane Festival and Management Solutions(Qld).

Introduction  The Fourth National Conference on Tourism Futures, held between 2-5 October 2005 on the Gold Coast, had a record attendance of over 375 delegates. This comprised CEO \'s, tourism operators, industry representatives, policy makers, academics and researchers from throughout Australia who identified a range of key issues, trends and challenges facing the Australian tourism industry. The purpose of this communiqué is to provide a summary of the outcomes of the conference and key issues raised by industry. The communiqué is forwarded to the following stakeholders: · · · · · · Key departments and agencies of the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments that are either directly or indirectly involved in the Australian tourism industry; Peak tourism industry organisations and associations Elected members of Commonwealth, State, Territory and local governments Academic and research institutions involved in tourism research and development Operators and individuals who champion the interests of the tourism industry All Tourism Futures delegates 2005  The conference communiqué can be accessed on Tourism Queensland website www.tq.com.au/tfconf or the conference convenor \'s website www.tonycharters.com.  2.  Conference Themes  The National Tourism Futures Conference 2005 was themed  Investing for Growth . The program was supported by an outstanding field of high-profile keynote and concurrent speakers covering issues that reflect the diversity and depth of Australia \'s tourism industry. The conference consisted of specialised pre-conference forums on day one and the core Tourism Futures Conference on days two and three. The pre conference themes were: Day 1: 1. 2. 3. 4. Tourism Technology Futures Local Government Driving Regional Tourism Aviation ­ Destination Growth Under New Paradigms Growing Tourism ­ Key Drivers and Investors  Prepared by Tony Charters and Associates  October 2005    The Tourism Futures Conference sub-themes were: Days 2 and 3: 1. Sustainable Development 2. Competitive Advantage 3. Strategic Partnerships and Alliances 4. Marketing In total 24 keynote speakers, 50 concurrent speakers and 50 pre-conference forum speakers addressed the delegates.

Roy Morgan Research ­ Pre-Conference Survey  The Tourism Futures delegate survey was completed by over 200 people, as a combination of surveys received both pre and during the conference. The composition of the sample in terms of organisation type were: 32 per cent operators, 14 per cent consultants, 13 per cent Local government, 9 per cent for universities/TAFE/other academic, 9 per cent for State government departments, 7 per cent for State Tourism offices, and the remaining 19 per cent from industry associations, RTO \'s, Federal government and other organisations. Top Six Key Issues and Challenges Three issues were recorded as being the top challenges facing the Australian tourism industry both in the short term (next year) and in the next 10 years. These were: 1. the effect of world instability on Australia 2. increasing fuel/oil costs 3. the need for product development and infrastructure in regional areas Other short term issues included the cost of public liability insurance, the training and skills shortage and the delivery of quality product and services. Other long term issues included the sustainability of tourism (triple bottom line), global warming and the world economy. Twenty seven per cent of prompted  Prepared by Tony Charters and Associates October 2005    responses highlighted global warming as a long term issue facing Australia and seven per cent of unprompted responses. This was the seventh most important issue highlighted in unprompted responses and importantly the first year it has been recorded as one of the main issues being faced by the Australian tourism industry. Top Six Competitive Advantages Four issues were recorded as being the top competitive advantages for the Australian tourism industry both in the short term (next year) and in the next 10 years. These were: 1. 2. 3. 4. Pristine beauty of Australia Stable and safe country Unique experience offered in Australia Australia \'s culture and friendly people  Other short-term issues included Australia \'s status as a highly desirable destination and the diversity of product and experience. Other long-term issues included the vastness of Australia/uncrowded and the diversity of product and experience. Top Six Opportunities for Growth Four issues were recorded as being the top growth markets for the Australian tourism industry both in the short term (next year) and in the next 10 years. These were: 1. 2. 3. 4. Ecotourism Grey nomads Domestic tourism Food and wine tourism  Other short-term issues included backpackers and the drive market. Other long-term issues included Indigenous tourism and adventure tourism.  4.  Findings from Keynote and Concurrent Presentations  In addition to the Roy Morgan Research survey results, notes were compiled across all keynote and concurrent sessions, covering the same three areas of: main issues and challenges facing the Australian tourism industry, Australia \'s competitive advantages and the main areas for growth in the Australian tourism industry.  Prepared by Tony Charters and Associates  October 2005    Top Six Key Issues and Challenges (in no order of priority) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Partnerships between government, industry and private sector Sustainability of tourism (social, environmental and economical) Marketing Australia domestically Timely, accurate and relevant research Marketing Australia internationally Level of support from government  Along with these issues the following trends were also raised as important for the Australian tourism industry: 1. Flat/or decreasing growth in domestic tourism due to factors such as: the share of the Australian wallet for domestic tourism declining: higher levels of personal debt, a shift to electronic consumer goods, a stockpile of annual leave and a drop in affordability of the Australian holiday; Outbound travel is increasing due to factors such as: consumers becoming more resilient to the shocks of terrorism, young Australians having a global perspective, the strength of the Australian dollar and world events being factored into an overall risk assessment.  2.  Top Six Competitive Advantages 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Clean/green environment/natural/pristine beauty of Australia Diversity of product Australia \'s culture and friendly people Unique experience offered in Australia Indigenous culture and heritage Australia \'s status as a highly desirable destination  Top Six Growth Markets 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Domestic tourism Ecotourism tourism Long-haul inbound (in particular China and India as emerging markets) Short-haul inbound (New Zealand) Food and wine tourism Indigenous tourism  5.  Analysis  Across both the Roy Morgan Survey and the notes compiled from keynote and concurrent speaker presentations the issue of a sustainable tourism industry was raised whereby the combined factors of social, environmental and economical  Prepared by Tony Charters and Associates October 2005    outcomes were of most importance. Similarly under competitive advantage of most importance in both survey areas was our clean, green and pristine natural environment, diversity of product, Australia \'s culture and friendly people and Australia \'s status as a highly desirable destination. For growth markets, domestic tourism/grey nomads, ecotourism, food and wine tourism and indigenous rated. There is an excellent alignment here between our perceived competitive advantages and certain growth markets, for example our clean, green, pristine environment and diversity of product and the growth markets stated for ecotourism and the domestic market including grey nomads. Despite the weak growth in the domestic market the fundamentals for tourism investment are improving, in part reflecting the low levels of investment in past years. The Australian dollar is also predicted to drop over the next 18 months, as fundamental support erodes, making outbound travel less attractive. Along with these two factors, domestic tourism is predicted to pick up as the baby boomers move into retirement. Australia is now experiencing the most profound changes in regional tourism than has been found in the last 15 years. The challenges for regional tourism include the impact of increasing fuel costs, the increase in outbound travel and the impact of low cost airline carriers. Differing trends are being seen where travellers are either making use of low-cost carriers to visit friends and relatives and/or travelling to new destinations where low-cost carriers operate. Research is now looking into add-on benefits for these regions such as increases in accommodation and car hire bookings where tourists are travelling to the destination based on price over VFR travel. A shift is happening in the way we engage with our communities, people want to find `meaning in place \' and tourism has an important role and opportunity in community capacity building. Communities that have become successful in tourism have engaged with the people and the business community; have support from all levels of government and industry; and have a leader to inspire and drive the change. Internationally, the growing economies of China and India are seen as Australia \'s two main emerging tourism prospects. One of the major issues listed for tourism in Australia was sustainability and one of the top competitive advantages for tourism in Australia is our clean, green, pristine environment and our natural beauty. The question was raised  could the number of tourists generated by China crowd out Australian tourism  and therefore erode one of our main competitive advantages. Issues such as the environment need to be considered and the call for high value, high yield tourists were proposed, rather than going for high volume. Other long-term considerations for international markets nominated were the effect of global warming and land-use pressures on our natural environments putting some of the unique natural treasures of Australia under threat. The Great Barrier Reef is believed to be already affected by climate change and environmental and social responsibilities for tourism operators are even more important, alongside best practice standards in delivering tourism experiences.  Prepared by Tony Charters and Associates  October 2005    Both the domestic and international markets will continue to be affected by the rising cost of oil and fuel. Globally, production levels of crude oil are believed to in decline. It is believed the world has passed its `Peak Oil \' production, i.e. where the deposits of fossil fuels are now less than half the original volume and the cost of extraction will increase with this ever declining and non-renewable resource. The impact of increased oil costs is more pronounced in transport reliant industries such as tourism. The challenge for domestic and international tourism is defining what consumers want, through continuous research. This is seen as the key to success for marketing in the rapidly changing tourism environment. Other important factors include, consistency in marketing of a brand through predominantly one form of media for the greatest impact and the importance and value of gaining editorial content over the investment put into advertising.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Prepared by Tony Charters and Associates  October 2005    ",65);arrFiles[3]=new Array(4,"conferences.html","2005-08-23","Tony Charters &amp; Associates","","","EVENT MANAGEMENT Conferences &#8226; Tourism Futures Conference Conferences Tony&#8217;s understanding and thorough knowledge of government, private sector, not for profit sector and inter-governmental organisations provides him with unique skills in developing conference programs.

Through various positions in public, private and not for profit sectors, he acquired expertise in promoting projects which still contribute to the growth of Ecotourism industry in Australia. Today, he still works closely with Ecotourism Australia , the national peak body of ecotourism industry, developing and managing numerous innovative projects and programs including: &#8226; The Eco-Certification program &#8226; Cairns Charter on Partnerships for Ecotourism &#8226; The Memorandum of Understanding between UNESCO and Ecotourism Australia &#8226; National Ecotourism Conferences Within Tourism Queensland as Director of the Environmental Tourism department for 5 years, he managed the full implementation of the 1997 Queensland Ecotourism Plan. He oversaw the development and launch of the 2003-2008 Queensland Ecotourism Plan. He also conceived and co-ordinated the development of the Ecotourism Rapid Assessment Model (ECORAM) to assist intending ecotourism projects developers to assess the potential of projects and destinations. Tony Charters is also involved in the development of industry standards as expert in Finalist&#8217;s Selection Committees for Tourism Awards and as member of the Eco Certification NAtional Committee Back to the top Ecotourism Australia Ecotourism Australia is a non-profit organisation formed in 1991. The association has a many different members including industry sector; ecotourism accommodation; tours and attractions; protected area managers; students; tourism; environmental, interpretation consultants and other local and regional associations. Its mission statement includes: developing and adopting standards for sustainable practices; increasing the professionalism of those working within the tourism industry; assisting operators to improve the quality of interpretation; and improving financial viability for operators who adopt sustainable practices. This association aims to develop best practices in tourism and consolidate the growth of ecotourism. Tony has been closely involved in Ecotourism Australia at different levels of the organisation, and played a key role in the development of important program such as: - The Eco-Certification Program launched in 1996, exported today internationally through The Green Globe 21 International Ecotourism Standard. - The Cairns Charter on Partnerships for Ecotourism which supports the establishment and operation of ecotourism partnerships; - The Memorandum of Co-operation between UNESCO and Ecotourism Australia a partnership which launched the Eco-Escapes programme. - Moreover, he convened four National Ecotourism Conferences and the 2002 International Ecotourism Conference. Back to the top Eco Certification program Tony Charters was the chair of the National Working Committee that developed the Eco Certification Scheme &#8211; launched in 1996. This certification program, now in its ninth year and in its third generation was the first ecotourism certification program in the world and is still regarded as the leading scheme globally. Tony has retained an active role with the Eco Certification scheme and is the National Chair of the Eco Certification Management Committee. The Eco Certification scheme was developed in Australia by industry for industry, it aims to identify genuine ecotourism and nature tourism operators. Now this program with augmentation associated with Green Globe 21 is exported to the rest of the world as the International Ecotourism Standard.

This was a pioneering enterprise in the infant ecotourism market of 1991 and has won, and continues to win major state, national and international tourism and environmental awards for its innovative and highly successful enterprises. As Director of Environmental Management for 5 years, Tony conceived and developed the ecotourism enterprises of the business including multi million dollar turnover 4WD day tours, whale watching, sailing and walking tours, and the ecotourism approach to business. Kingfisher Bay Resort and Village is now highly awarded for its integrated ecotourism property, comprehensive planning and design processes. - Kingfisher Bay resort - Kingfisher interpretive program - Kingfisher ranger guided tours - Kingfisher whale watching - Kingfisher self-guided tours Back to the top Kingfisher Bay - Resort Built in harmony with its surroundings, Kingfisher Bay Resort provides general services and activities, including bars, restaurants, swimming-pools, spa, tennis courts, beauty therapy and massage, 4WD hire, a child care centre and junior eco-rangers program. There is a huge choice of activities, including whale watching, walks, rainforest treks, dolphin cruises and water activities. Conference facilities are available, too. To ensure that Kingfisher Bay was an integrated ecotourism property, a comprehensive planning and design process was developed. Kingfisher Bay Resort and Village offers a wide range of accommodation for everyone, from a multi-share lodge to luxury villas and hotel rooms. Kingfisher Bay Resort and Village includes 152 room hotel, 110 residential villas and a 120 bed wilderness lodge. To ensure that Kingfisher Bay resort met its obligations as an ecotourism resort, there were several key practices which were adopted. Including in those key design: - all buildings were limited to two levels with exterior colours blend with the natural bush colours - Company policy specified that local materials and personnel should be used to the greatest extent possible. - landscape treatment of the site used all local endemic species from the actual site and surrounding island environs. - The hotel centre complex was designed without air-conditionning. Natural convection currents are utilised to save an estimated 500,000 kw hours of energy each year. - All solid waste is compacted and transported off the island for mainland disposal. - Tertiary sewage treatment is undertaken. Kingfisher Bay has undertaken a wide range of monitoring activities to ensure that systems are functioning and that the ecosystem is continuing to sustain itself. Those monitoring activities include small mammal capture, tag and release programs; identification and monitoring of bats, birds and frogs and monitoring of walking trail and road conditions. Back to the top Kingfisher Bay - Interpretive program Kingfisher Bay adopted a similar approach to communication as that adopted by protected area management agencies. This includes interpretation and education, liaison with local interest groups and consultation. Over twenty full-time tertiary trained interpretive rangers are employed by the resort to provide face-to-face interpretive program. Back to the top Kingfisher Bay - Ranger Guided tours In summary, the activities include: - guided walks on a range of themes such as frogs, bats, littoral zones&#8230; - guided whale watching marine tours operated with a marine biologist - junior ranger program, a series of environmental activities suitable for children 4-14 years Back to the top Kingfisher Bay - Whale watching Humpback Whales visit Hervey Bay on their migration south to the Antarctic in August, September and October. Kingfisher Bay operates daily whale watching cruises under the interpretive guidance of a marine biologist. Whale watching codes of practice consistent with Advanced Level Ecocertification are followed. Back to the top Kingfisher Bay - Self Guided tours Two interpretive tracks offer the possibility of self-guided interpretation. This allows guests to move at their own pace and at a time that suits their individual needs. One track follows through the wallum swamplands, and the other one through a range of forest types, geological and cultural features. Interpretive displays, publications and videos are utilised to expose guests to the range of values occurring on Fraser Island. These communication tools include a beach driving video for people hiring 4WDs, which includes an environmental code of practice; a comprehensive information booklet on the island, produced in six foreign languages; a room tag encouraging guests to conserve and resources&#8230; Kingfisher Bay has been awarded international, national, state and regional awards since it has been operated. For example, it has been awarded the 2004 and 2005 Australian Tourism Award for Ecotourism; the 2004 Fraser Coast South Burnett Tourism Awards for Excellence - Environmental Tourism, the 2004 Queensland Tourism Award for Environmental Tourism; the 2002 Fraser Coast South Burnett Tourism Awards for Excellence &#8211; Restaurants and the 2001 Australian Tourism Awards for Environmental Tourism.

Tourism makes a major contribution to Australia \'s economy and way of life. For Queensland it is absolutely essential. It is our second-largest export industry and employs almost one in 10 Queenslanders. Tourism has emerged from the shadows of global and local events as a strong and sustainable economic, social and environmental force. Hard work and inspired vision have generated substantial public and private investment through the difficult years, producing vital new infrastructure. We now have a more competitive national aviation industry, with a centre of gravity that is shifting north - to Queensland. With encouragement from the Queensland Government and the private sector, our cruise shipping industry is also growing and is expected to generate  100 million for Queensland this year. However environmental, economic and market conditions are constantly changing and tourism, like other industries, must tackle new challenges. The industry must continue to innovate and seize opportunities. The Fourth National Conference on Tourism Futures, with the theme Investing for Growth, will identify where resources can be best directed for optimum sustainable growth and profits. Issues on the table will include vision, planning, leadership and skilling. For instance, delegates will consider: A common vision for the future of tourism in Australia Working together for tourism planning and development to benefit the whole industry Cohesive industry leadership in partnership with government Professional skills training and accreditation, and more attractive employment conditions and career options - to deliver better career opportunities and greater workforce retention rates. Queensland, the Smart State, is home to a highly-innovative tourism industry. We are proud to have initiated this conference, and proud of the achievements of previous forums. I know you will have your own views on Investing for Growth and I encourage you to raise them during conference sessions. Hon. Peter Beattie MP  Premier of Queensland and Minister for Trade  MINISTER \'S WELCOME  Welcome to the Fourth National Conference - Tourism Futures and one of Queensland \'s premier destinations, the Gold Coast. This year \'s conference promises to be both enlightening and inspiring with a speaker program that boasts some of the nation \'s most respected commentators on tourism issues. Tourism is a remarkable and complex industry. Resilient and robust, its economic strength is felt at all levels of government, across many allied industries and by Australian communities, large and small, everywhere. The decision to take part in this important event is evidence of your commitment to build on that strength and play your part in the creation of a sustainable industry. Sustainability is essential but it will take collaborative action on behalf of a wide range of stakeholders to get it right. Tourism Futures will present you with many opportunities to consider and discuss key topics, and form new ideas, approaches and partnerships that will enrich your efforts long after the conference concludes. I wish all delegates an enjoyable and rewarding three days and hope each of you finds the time during your stay to explore and experience all that the Gold Coast offers.  MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER FOR SMALL BUSINESS AND TOURISM  I am delighted to welcome delegates to the Fourth National Tourism Futures Conference. This year \'s theme Investing for Growth offers excellent opportunities to explore the interaction between public and private sectors for growth and development in the tourism industry. It will be an exciting four days, as there will be many expert speakers who will be addressing future trends in tourism and discussing ways that the Australian tourism industry can prepare to meet the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. The Australian Government is investing  453 million over the next three years to better position Australia in the global market and to encourage more Australians to holiday at home. I have recently appointed Decipher Technologies to develop a national tourism accreditation portal. This accreditation portal will ensure quality tourism products for international and domestic tourists. Strengthening of the Approved Destination Status scheme will see our Chinese tourists have a high quality tourism experience when visiting Australia and are protected from unscrupulous practices of a small number of rogue tourism operators. The challenges posed by projected growth in inbound tourism, both from emerging markets such as China and India and from our established markets, calls for renewed investment by industry into infrastructure, product and marketing. Two consultative groups have now been established to develop a National Tourism Investment Strategy and an Emerging Markets Strategy to position Australia strongly in the global market and to capture future markets. The Australian tourism industry is well on its way to achieving the forecast growth of 9.3 million international visitors and 323 million domestic tourists in 2014. This  73 billion industry contributes significantly to the national, state and territory economies and it is vital that we work together to ensure the continued growth and prosperity of the tourism sector. I hope this conference will inspire and generate new ideas to build upon the Australian tourism industry \'s huge potential.  The Hon.
