The independent Climate Council last year released ‘Icons at Risk: Climate Change Threatening Australian Tourism’ report indicating Australia’s tourism is the ‘most vulnerable and least prepared’ of all Australian industry sectors in responding to the threat of climate change due to our dependence upon our natural environment.

Brand Protection in the Tourism Sector

Branding is paramount in tourism services. As a crowded and competitive market, tourism businesses use their brand as a key way to differentiate their tourism experience, carving out a niche market which ideally results in increased visitations. As brands recognition increases, reputation is built and word of mouth is generated, all of which contributes to increased brand value. Many businesses are unaware of the protection they have (if any) in their brand, which includes their name, logo, taglines, website, advertising and other digital assets. Key issues discussed include protecting my brand: logo, taglines and the trade mark regime, re-branding: what you must know, copyright, domain names, implications if buying or selling a business, licensing agreements and franchising: what happens if there is an infringement?
