Business View Oceania - January/February 2017
Tourism, both domestic and interna-
tional, is a continuously growing in-
dustry all over the world. In Austral-
ia, Deloitte has called it as one of the
“super sectors” of the next decade. It
is no wonder then that organisations
like the Accommodation Association
of Australia (AAoA) are extremely im-
portant in the industry. Evolving out of
the former Hotel Motel & Accommoda-
tion Association, the organisation was
originally established in Queensland in
the 1960s by a group of moteliers. Ac-
cording to Richard Munro, the CEO of
AAoA, the group simply wanted better
outcomes for their industry.
