ATDW Logo

The Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) is Australia’s national platform for digital tourism marketing in Australia. Established in 2001, the ATDW is jointly owned and managed by all Australian state and territory government tourism bodies.

It is imperative you keep your ATDW listing up-to-date with images, your book now link (if applicable) and relevant information, as our website and many other tourism pages pull the information for your business from your ATDW listing.

ATDW has a page dedicated to operator tools, including a comprehensive guide on how to get the most out of your ATDW listing, which you can access by clicking this link.
