From Teenage Travel Agent to the Top of Australian Tourism with Robin Mack!

We are back and with none other than with Robin Mack!In this episode of Inside Downunder, we’re joined by Robin Mack, one of the Australian tourism industry’s most respected figures and the newly appointed Managing Director of Tourism Australia.Robin reflects on the evolution of Australia’s inbound tourism industry, his entry into tourism as a teenager and the relationships and experiences that shaped his career. There are plenty of cheeky laughs along the way as we unpack the human side of the industry and why so many people stay connected to it for life.We also discuss ATE as more than just a trade event, but an important gathering point for Australia’s tourism community, along with Tourism Australia’s future direction and the “Green Is Our Gold” industry-wide commitment to sustainable tourism. https://www.tourism.australia.com/en/resources/campaign-resources/green-and-gold.htmlWe’d like to acknowledge that this podcast was recorded in March 2026. Since then, the situation in the Middle East has continued to evolve. We recognise the significance and impact of what many communities and our tourism industry are experiencing in relation to the evolving events of 2026 and we want to acknowledge that respectfully.Want to sponsor or feature on an edition of the Inside Downunder Podcast?
