A delegation of eight tourism officials from the U.S. state of Utah are visiting Australia to report that significant tourist product development has occurred in their regions since the outbreak of COVID.

The Utah Office of Tourism has joined the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) as a destination member. The organisation is one of only four US destinations and one of only five North American destinations to become members with a focus to lead in sustainable tourism practices.

Utah Office of Tourism hosted a media event in Sydney this week to showcase a variety of the US state’s national parks, outdoor activities, accommodation options and more as part of sales mission Down Under in July.
