Future leaders gather in Canberra

Emerging leaders from across the caravan and camping industry gathered in Canberra last week to discuss key issues shaping the sector’s future.

Coordinated by Caravan Industry Association of Australia, the day-long program included our annual Future Forum workshop and our latest Friends of Caravanning event at Parliament House. Attendees also observed our February National Board meeting.

These events provided a valuable platform for gaining deeper insight into the key issues shaping our industry from diverse perspectives.

They also played a vital role in strengthening our advocacy efforts by humanising industry priorities – connecting policymakers with the real-world aspirations, challenges and opportunities experienced by industry businesses. Engagement with Members of Parliament, Senators and their staff was both constructive and highly encouraging.

Participants represented the full breadth of the industry, including manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, repairers and caravan holiday park operators. This diversity enriched discussions and ensured barriers to success were considered from a whole-of-industry perspective, rather than through the lens of any single segment.

The level of optimism, professionalism and enthusiasm on display reinforced our confidence that the future of the caravan and camping industry is in capable and committed hands.
