Transforming Tourism Australia’s Analytics with an Azure-Powered Solution
Customer Case Study, Tourism Australia – Learn how they used the Azure-based platform to provide accurate, up to date data on tourist movements.
The Opportunity
Tourism Australia needed an optimised, automated, end-to-end analytics solution to centralise multiple data sources and provide real-time insights – supporting Australia’s multi-billion-dollar tourism sector in its recovery and growth post-pandemic.
The Delivery
Agile Insights built an intelligent analytics platform on Microsoft Azure – using Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and Azure SQL – centralising over ten data sources into a single platform with Power BI dashboards and self-serve analytics.
The Outcome
Saved 80 hours per month through automation, delivered insights for strategic planning during border reopenings, improved resource allocation across marketing initiatives, and significantly increased team efficiency by consolidating previously manual, hours-long data processes into a single dashboard.

About Tourism Australia
Tourism Australia is the Australian Government agency responsible for attracting international visitors for leisure and business. Operating in 15 key markets, the agency promotes Australia’s unique destinations and experiences, contributing around $60 billion annually to the economy.

The Challenge

Tourism Australia faced several challenges:

  • Managing over ten different data sources in various formats.
  • High manual effort required to respond to ad hoc data requests.
  • Lack of a centralised platform for real-time and accurate insights.
  • Inefficiencies in aligning resources to maximise impact across global and domestic markets.
Client Testimonial
"Tourism Australia commissioned Agile Analytics to assist with centralising a range of data sources to help better align and drive strategic decision-making. This has allowed us to increase our team efficiency by drawing on insights across a broad range of data sets in the one dashboard that were previously very hands-on, taking hours to pull together."
