bringing together tourism operators and the distributors who help sell their
product to the international market and it continues to be a vital place for
business development."

registered for this year's event, to be held on the Sunshine Coast at Coolum
Golf and Spa. ATEC's Symposium Workshop

"The main conference program will take place over two
days and, of particular note, is a very special panel discussion on the future
of tourism and the pressures coming from the mining industry. Our panelists,
including the Federal Minister for Tourism, Martin Ferguson, Tourism
Queensland's CEO, Anthony Hayes, Queensland Resources Council boss, Michael
Roche, Quadrant Australia's Peter Lloyd and Wotif.com's CEO, Robbie Cooke, will
present their perspectives and ideas for how we might work together as
complimentary, rather than competing industries."
Sunshine Coast Destination CEO, Steve Cooper extended a warm
welcome to the tourism industry members from around the country who will attend
Symposium."We are honored to host ATEC Symposium 2012 and we
welcome the tourism export industry particularly those that have never visited
our naturally refreshing Sunshine Coast.

"The event provides a perfect opportunity to display
the best of our region including a Destination Showcase event to be held at
Noosa Main Beach on the Thursday morning. This new format for the program will
combine our rich diversity of local cuisine, artisans, products and
demonstrations to encapsulate the region's unique lifestyle. We have been
working hard with our local surf movement, Seasons of the Sun, Eumundi Markets
and Noosa Farmers Market to provide an unparalleled experience for delegates.
"Hosting this major tourism event is timely as the
destination starts its journey towards maturity," added Mr Cooper.
