Why is being a SATIC member so important?

The tourism industry is a vital part of the State’s economy, generating billions in revenue and employing thousands of South Australians.

However, the sheer number and different types of businesses within the tourism industry is so vast there is a need for a single body to represent and support these businesses. - SATIC's role is to do just that!

SATIC provides a range of support services, resources and assistance to our members including: training, accreditation, certification, awards, networking, communications and information.

If you own a business or are employed in the industry, we encourage you to become a member of SATIC and ensure there is a sustainable future for tourism in South Australia.
