Secured by the State Government and Perth Airport, Routes Asia 2025 shines a spotlight on Perth as a major global aviation hub. This conference underscores Western Australia’s strategic location within the Asia-Pacific region, serving as a critical gateway for airlines expanding their route networks. Hosting the event also presents an excellent opportunity for Perth to engage directly with industry leaders and strengthen its aviation profile on the world stage.

The conference marks a significant moment for Perth, as Tourism Minister Reece Whitby highlighted, with Perth’s time zone aligning with 60% of the world’s population. This makes Perth an attractive destination for airlines seeking to expand routes to the region. Minister Whitby emphasized that Western Australia‘s central location and growing infrastructure make it a key player in global aviation.

Western Australia’s Tourism Plans and Economic Growth

Alongside aviation discussions, the Routes Asia 2025 event provides the Cook Labor Government with a platform to showcase its plans to support Western Australia’s tourism sector. These include developing a nighttime economy strategy in partnership with the hospitality and tourism industry, as well as attracting major events like UFC and WWE to WA. Additionally, the government is investing $116 million in a tourism hub for Ningaloo Reef, further enhancing Western Australia’s appeal as a world-class travel destination.

This investment in tourism infrastructure is complemented by expanded air travel capacity driven by new airline partnerships and improved route offerings, all of which will help bolster WA’s tourism economy.

Economic Impact and Business Opportunities

Business delegates, who typically spend more than leisure travelers, are contributing to WA’s growing economic footprint. With representatives from China, Japan, and the United Kingdom set to attend, the event provides a unique opportunity for Perth to strengthen its ties with key markets and explore new avenues for growth in air travel and tourism.
