I wish to highlight an exciting new 'app-treneur' from my electorate of Tangney. Richard Meyers has an app to kick-start tourism in our regional cities and towns. Tourism is an exciting part of the bridge to the high-valued added, high-productivity, innovation economy. Richard is exactly the type of person we are more likely to see in this new economy. He is a mature worker with a plethora of commercial skills and life experience, and is seizing the opportunities of the app revolution. Not everyone can be an app developer, but everyone can have a big idea—a big idea like Richard's Aussie Tourism Apps. This app is the loyalty card for shires and regions. It rewards visitors for staying and playing in an area. It rewards with ease of use and access with information on today's specials. Remember, you heard about Richard Meyers, the 'app-treneur', and the Aussie Tourism Apps here first.
