Over this Australia Day weekend, let’s take a moment to reflect on the privilege of living and working in a country of such remarkable beauty and innovation.

At TXA, we’re proud to be part of an industry that creates unforgettable memories for travellers across this diverse and extraordinary land. Our community of tourism operators, distributors, and destinations continues to inspire us with their passion and dedication to showcasing the best of Australia.

We extend our gratitude and respect to the growing number of First Nations tourism suppliers who share their rich, 60,000-year-old cultural heritage with visitors. Your stories, traditions, and connection to Country enrich the travel experience and deepen our understanding of this land we all now call home.

As this long weekend traditionally brings the summer peak season to a close, it also sets the stage for an exciting Autumn ahead. Let’s embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, knowing we are part of an incredible industry driving meaningful connections and economic benefits.
Let’s embrace Paul Hogan’s adage from the 1980’s… “smile and say G’day” to everyone this weekend 🦘💛

20/01/2025

In Tourism, It’s People That Make the Difference 🌏✨

Did you know it’s been 40 years since Paul Hogan invited the world to ‘slip an extra shrimp on the barbie’?

That iconic campaign didn’t just showcase Australia’s beauty—it highlighted our welcoming, happy, and friendly personality.

🌟 What truly sets tourism experiences apart isn’t just stunning landscapes or great prices—it’s the people. A warm smile, a cheerful attitude, and genuine care can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.

Whether it’s the hospitality of hotel staff, the enthusiasm of tour guides, or the friendliness of locals, these interactions shape how travelers remember their journey. And in today’s world of reviews and social media, those connections matter more than ever.

Discover why human connection is the heart of tourism and how your attitude can elevate your business in our latest blog. 📝✨

Meet Mohsin Iqbal, our dedicated Accountant at TXA, who’s been keeping our numbers in check for an impressive six years! 🧾✨

Based in Perth, Mohsin is not just a whiz with financial reporting (his favourite part of the job), but also a devoted family man. With two sons and a 3-year-old “princess” daughter 👑, weekends for him are all about outings and quality time with his loved ones – the perfect way to recharge after the challenges of year-end reporting! ☕

Mohsin has a deep appreciation for the beauty of Australia and its incredible landscapes. His favourite sunrise? Watching the first light break over Perth’s skyline from Kings Park 🌅, with the Swan River shimmering below and the majestic eucalyptus trees in view.

When it comes to hidden gems, Mohsin highly recommends Lake Clifton in Yalgorup National Park 🌊, a natural wonder he loves introducing to travellers. And his personal favourite landscape? The otherworldly Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park, just a short drive north of Perth 🏜️.

With so many breathtaking places to explore, Mohsin’s Australian bucket list is as inspiring as it is adventurous:
1️⃣ Exploring the vibrant marine life of Ningaloo Reef 🐠
2️⃣ Witnessing the rugged beauty of the Kimberley Region 🏞️
3️⃣ Driving the iconic Great Ocean Road 🚗

A self-proclaimed summer lover, Mohsin’s motivation comes from sharing the beauty of Australia with others and helping create unforgettable experiences. His practical desert island picks (a solar-powered satellite phone and a fully equipped caravan!) prove he’s not only great with numbers but also prepared for anything!

We’re so lucky to have Mohsin on the TXA team, keeping us grounded and inspired with his love for Australia and dedication to his craft! 💼👏

Originally from Liverpool, England 🇬🇧, Nicola has swapped the historic streets and vibrant culture of her hometown for sunrises over Perth’s skyline 🌅 and the pristine beaches of Australia 🇦🇺. A self-proclaimed nature lover, she finds joy in camping 🏕️, kayaking 🛶, and snorkelling her way through Australia’s breathtaking landscapes.

But it’s not all play! Nicola’s been part of TXA for almost four years, including 18 months in her current role. She thrives on helping small and independent businesses shine online and boost their profitability 💻. It’s this passion for connecting businesses with travellers that makes her an invaluable part of the TXA team.

When she’s not juggling meetings (coffee always helps ☕), Nicola’s exploring the hidden gems of Australia. Driving through the Stirling Mountain Range was a standout experience, and the greenery and beaches of Denmark and Albany hold a special place in her heart 🌿. Next on her bucket list? Visiting Uluru and swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef 🐋.

Nicola’s perfect day? A combination of snorkelling, camping, and good company – always fuelled by pizza 🍕 (though she’s definitely not a fan of Vegemite – sorry, Australia! 😅).

Growing up in Liverpool, Nicola was obsessed with Steve Irwin’s Crocodile Hunter, a fascination that inspired her to explore the country’s incredible wildlife 🐊. Now, Christmas is spent with friends at the beach 🏖️ – a far cry from the family gatherings back home 🎄.

Nicola’s top three Aussie bucket list experiences? 1️⃣ Swimming with whale sharks in Ningaloo Reef 2️⃣ Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef 🐠 3️⃣ Skydiving over Rottnest Island 🪂

From Harry Potter marathons on rainy days ⚡ to walking among the stunning Jacaranda trees in Subiaco during spring 🌸, Nicola embodies a love for adventure and new experiences. And while she misses her close-knit family (her nieces and nephew always keep her laughing from afar ❤️), she’s building her own story here in Australia.

We’re so lucky to have Nicola on the TXA team – bringing warmth, dedication, and a touch of Liverpool charm wherever she goes!

🚂Today is International Volunteers Day so we are celebrating the work of Atherton-Herberton Historic Railway Inc. 🌍

At TXA, we’re proud to support amazing suppliers like Atherton-Herberton Historic Railway Inc., a not-for-profit organisation bringing Far North Queensland’s railway history to life. This dedicated group is more than just a tourist attraction—it’s a testament to the power of community and the passion of volunteers.

Without their incredible volunteers, the AHHR wouldn’t be able to offer the unique, authentic experiences that make them such a beloved part of the region. From restoring historic carriages and locomotives to providing unforgettable train rides, their team is the driving force behind it all.

💡 The Magic Behind the Tracks: ✅ Volunteers play key roles as train drivers, guards, and carriage attendants. ✅ Restoration work breathes new life into historic railway equipment, preserving it for future generations. ✅ Every volunteer is supported with hands-on training, no prior experience needed—just a passion for making a difference!

This International Volunteers Day, we celebrate the dedication, skills, and heart of the AHHR team. Their work not only preserves an important piece of history but also enriches the tourism experience in Far North Queensland.

👏 A big thank you to all the volunteers who make it possible—you are truly the backbone of this incredible organisation!

Drone photography and videography can give your audience a whole new perspective on what you offer. Follow these steps to create stunning aerial content that will captivate potential visitors.

🎥 Choose the Right Drone for Quality Imagery:
Camera Quality: Look for 4K resolution for clear video and high-quality stills.

Flight Time: Choose a drone with at least 20–30 minutes of flight time per battery to get enough footage.

Stabilisation: A 3-axis gimbal is essential to keep footage steady, even in windy conditions.

Range: Make sure the drone’s range covers the area you want to capture. Consider options like the DJI Mini 2, DJI Mavic Air 2, or DJI Phantom 4 Pro.

👮 Understand Drone Regulations

Check your state’s aviation and local government regulations on drone use. Many areas have rules about no-fly zones (like airports or national parks), night flying, and altitude limits.

Use apps like Airmap or DJI Fly to confirm no-fly zones and stay updated with regulations.

🗺️Plan Your Location & Timing

Scout Locations: Look for areas with unique features that will stand out from above, such as scenic landscapes, historic landmarks, or coastal views.

Check the Weather: Wind and rain can impact flight safety and image quality, so aim for calm conditions.

Golden Hour: Shooting around sunrise or sunset provides soft, warm lighting that enhances the natural beauty of your shots.

Did you know Tourism Exchange Australia was inspired by surf trips and a passion for travel? 🌊

In the early 90s, our founders Shane Crockett and Stephen Wells would head to their favourite surf spots, where their conversations often drifted to the travel industry’s potential. They imagined a world where booking unique, off-the-beaten-path accommodations could be done as easily as catching the perfect wave. 🌊

Inspired by early tech icons like Amazon and PayPal, Shane and Stephen envisioned a platform that could bring small and medium tourism businesses the same online booking power as the big guys! 🏄‍♂️ They set out to create a way for travellers to book unique experiences and hidden gems online, in real time.

And that’s how TXA was born—a game-changer for small travel businesses looking to expand their reach and boost their bookings! 💻✨
